We decided to look for somewhere in town with a nice outdoor area to enjoy the sun. So decided on the Helm. They were very busy with end of year wind ups with some big groups. Although busy the food came out very fast. Food was great. I had open steak sandwich and my friend the beef pie. I must say for $12 well worth it. This is the main thing that impresses me with the Lawrenson group. Why can't more Cafes learn from them.

Sundays at the Helm rock!
Their pizza deal is great.
Kids welcome and so much preferable to take them here for a weekend treat than to a hideous fast food outlet.
Drinks standard price, service always friendly. Happy days :)

The Helm never stops to amaze me! Ive been their four times for dinner now and each time the food and service gets better!
Their steaks are amazing! And the panacotta for dessert, divine.

And I love the deal they do on Sunday's. $5 dollar pizza! I don't know how they are making money selling them at $5 dollars but I love it.

Thanks Helm crew Ill definitely be back!

We had a family lunch at The Helm on Monday 27 Dec 2010, we made a booking for 11 but ended up with 14, with no hassles. Service was good, waiting time was excellent considering there were 14 orders, took about 1/2 hr for our lunch to arrive. All food was delicious, really liked the Gourmet Chicken burger, yummy!!! Desert time... the panacota is definitely the best, apple crumble served with ice cream and whipped cream 2nd... chocolate stack is way to rich for me... good for chocoholics. Must mention the pizzas too, really nice, cheers.

This place really surpassed my expectations. Food was very well presented, tasty, and my vegetables were cooked to perfection.

The waitress was polite and we received enough attention without being annoyed.

Definitely recommend to others!

My siblings went one Saturday night as this was the newest restaurant in town since we all returned from living in Aussie. The atmosphere, food and service were all top notch. We were seated and about 30 minutes later dinner was served! I reccommend any of the pasta dishes and the pannacotta is to die for. The pricing was good. We were just talking about how good a restaurant is if someone comes around with a pepper mill to offer freshly ground pepper... The Helm has it!!

My husband, daughter and I went visited this restaurant on Saturday at 5pm and I must say we got excellent service from the time we were seated till we left. Our mains were served to us in 30 minutes and our desserts about 15-20 minutes later. We enjoyed the food which was delicious and the panacotta was absolutely devine. Thanks to the Chef and staff at The Helm you made our stay in Hamilton even more perfect!!

The food is great, cooked and seasoned perfectly, scallops a little mushy.
Atmosphere is great for a pub, very busy and loud on sundays but thats only to be expected as it is clearly the place to go at the moment. Loved the indoor/outdoor flow with the bar that goes inside and outside. Overall loved it, although staff could be more polite.

What an amazing dinner we had at the Helm. The food and service and atmosphere was perfect. Eva was a fantastic waitress! My 10 yr old son loved his pizza! He said "this is like heaven!" And my 6 yr old daughter said her burger was a 10 out of 9! Lol. The ribs actually had meat on, not just bone and sauce. My Vietnamese salad was delicious esp with the pork belly on top! Yuuuuum!

The staff were amazing. Friendly, warm and inviting when we arrived. Service with a smile and very helpful. The food was delicious and on point. Steak was so good and cooked to perfection and the mussels was delicious and mouth-watering. Very affordable and worth it. One of the best restaurants I've been to in Hamilton. Definitely recommend it for families with kids. They're very good at what they do and know how to accommodate to our wants and needs. Definitely hands down one of the best local restaurants in the Hamilton/Waikato region. One of the best places for a beautiful and delicious meal in Aotearoa. You get 5 Stars from me. Well Done The Helm Bar & Kitchen.

My lamb meal was delicious and the young man that took me to my seat and helped out was genuine, polite and helped me feel comfortable. There was another lovely waitress who recommended the strawberry cheesecake. I only wish I took photos of the food as it looked at tasted great.

Though tucked into a spot in a strip mall, you’d never know that you are stepping in to a cool sports bar/restaurant (works for families too) with the game on. It was great to feel the energy in the place with the Ferns game on for the Women’s World Cup. Get there early before a big game to make sure you get a table. They make ordering super easy and efficient through their tablets at each table. The drinks are great and the food is pretty good.

Delicious food!! The sauce on the mussels was divine. A bit expensive but still very yummy. It was quite loud when we were there for lunch so not a place to go if your looking for a quiet, peaceful meal. Overall, I would recommend 👍
