Second time at the Hangar,  and the first time a small issue, but after speaking to management,  I went back to try again. Service was much better this time, and suspect the other was an off night, rather than usual service. Had the platter of meats,  and chicken wings.  both were really good, and a nice quiet table to sit and eat and chat before heading out for the night. food was good value with 3 drinks, all up around 80 dollars, for 2 of us and more than we needed. will go back as some of the other entrees looked good,

We have been here a several times and never been disappointed. The food has always been served promptly and we tend to order 2 items from the'small' menu to share -southern fried chicken and pork belly bites are favourites, plus a beer each and this is more than enough for lunch, although watching other tables being served with delicious smelling pizzas or burgers makes me determined to go back and forget about 'small' plates  !  The Staff are always friendly and attentive and happy to make suggestions regarding portion sizes and specials. Lovely atmosphere here and a very popular place.

We ordered their pork belly with pumpkin on the side and the steak sandwich which were really good and well presented. The waiter was so courteous and asked how our food was and if we needed anything else. The interior is rustic and spacious with tables and seating for dining or just drinking. If you’re looking for a place to drink without feeling rushed, this place is it because it’s open till 3am and that’s a bit rare in Auckland.

I was here recently after having to kill some time before I had to be somewhere and I happened to stumble upon this gem!

The place was packed full with over 150 people they had to seat and serve I I must say that the staff did an incredible job amidst that commotion. They stayed friendly and welcoming, and they told me that it would be a 30 minute wait for my food, but I understood why because the place was packed full, however within 10 minutes I was already eating.

I also really loved the atmosphere that was created here, the aesthetic of the place worked well with the music, and the general vibe they were trying to create

I had the Japanese fried chicken and it was absolutely heavenly, it comes with this sweet BBQ sauce that just takes the dish to another level. Highly recommend this if you ever find yourself in Henderson

Atmosphere bang on, ambience is lovely! The staff are very friendly, attentive and clearly communicated. There is booth seating available indoors as well as bar seating and tables available indoors and outdoors so it is family friendly. The food is always well presented and appetising. On Sundays their platters and "small plates" menu is half price. We tried the foreshore and seabed platter and it was amazing. It is perfect to share between 2 adults, and I could not fault anything. Some of the best calamari I've ever had, crispy chicken bites, pork belly bites, rump steak and garlic bread. On a Monday night they have a special of $17.50 mains. I would highly recommend the rib eye which is served with a gorgeous red wine jus. Incredible value for money with the specials, not sure I would pay full price however.

Came here for dinner recently. There is booth seating available indoors as well as bar seating and tables available indoors and outdoors. We choose to sit outside. There was music playing, but it was in my opinion far to loud. You really had to strain to hear a conversation. It was a bit loud for a Sunday night.
 
The "Smalls"menu section was on special for half price, so we got the Pork Belly Bites as our starters. They tasted really good, but we needed forks to eat them and were not given any so we had to use our fingers.

For the mains, we had the Custom Grill 2 (2 meat options) and the Sticky Chilli Belly Pork. It didn't occur to me to ask but the Custom Grill was really those hot stone plates that they serve the raw meat on and you have to wait for it to be cooked. I really don't like these so was a bit gutted. The slaw was ok but the beer battered fries was amazing and definitely the highlight of the meal for me. My cousin had the Belly Pork and seemed to like that enough, but we both thought at the end of our meals that we should have just got the fries.

We also had a free complimentary main menu coupon and saved $24. I think this is a great place to go if you want a catch up drink and some snacks while your at it, but if you are looking for a relatively quiet place to go for a meal this would not be it. I would return for the fries and a gin and lemonade.

All I can say, is that The Hangar has revamped their restaurant and menu for the better!

I've been here a few times now for their stone grill meals, which are good value for money and come with decent sides. I always get the 200g rump steak with the 2 sides as that's plenty. 

Their newly updated platters are also great- I tried the foreshore and seabed one and it was amazing. It was a good amount to share between 2 adults, and everything on it was delicious. The platter had the best calamari I've ever eaten (super tender and great mix of herbs), pork belly bites, crispy chicken bites, rump steak and garlic bread. The platter was $45 which was pretty good given the amount of food we got.

Their chocolate fudge cake was also decadent- it was rich, gooey, and a good portion size given how rich it was. It came with a scoop of ice cream, candied walnuts and berry coulis.

Keep forgetting to review this place because it's a local casual drop in but have been many times and have never been disappointed by either the food or the service.
Not fine dining by any means but that isn't what it purports to be. The food though is well presented and very acceptable. Small sharing plates are available and always arrive hot and promptly, while the mains are generous and the onion rings are to die for!
Never managed a dessert apart from an affogato, which is yum

Loved the concept of how they serve some of their food on top of a stone grill. I had their chicken breasts paired with mint sauce and some chips which I enjoyed. Their hot wings is also a must try. Food and drinks are reasonably priced without the quality of food being sacrificed. They even have promos throughout the week and have different ways to keep you entertained. Staff are also accommodating. Love the ambience, perfect place to chill and catch up with friends. We definitely enjoyed our first time here and will surely come back.

Would have rated this a 4 or maybe higher as I used to come nearly every week for The Grill pizza or the Uncle Sam burger, as they were fantastic. Unfortunately the menu changed a while ago and while not bad, nothing I tried quite lived up to the previous menu. Very friendly staff, and occasionally we got our drinks comped (as we were such regulars), so high marks for the general service.

I cannot get enough of those Hot Wings! I love spicy food and that's hard to come by in NZ, so I'm going to say, best Hot Wings in NZ. My partner steals more of my wings order every time we go back. After 3 visits, service is really good and accommodating. Great ambiance, lots of food options, and specials. I wasn't too impressed by some of the other food items I've had, but that's also following the intense flavor of the hot wings, so I could be biased. I was expecting better flavor on the Carnivore Pizza (lots of exciting looking toppings, but the flavor was lacking). Again, that's personal preference, so I chose not to mark down too harshly. The Chook Pizza is okay and has more flavor in my opinion. I will be back for more hot wings, and to dabble around the rest of the menu!

First time coming here they have really good specials like $17.5 for steak etc. the service is really good staff are prompt and accommodating, ambiance is lovely they have a bar that is separated from eating area which is nice because you can have a nice family dinner away from bar. My steak was cooked perfectly and other dishes were also yummy. I will not however pay full price for those dishes but will be back on days they have specials!

My initial reaction to being invited to The Hangar was, "a place out WEST? In the suburb whose very name strikes fear in the hearts of any self-respecting non-bogan who hated 'Outrageous Fortune'?" As you can see I did not have high expectation for The Hangar, nor a high opinion about anything west of Avondale (Titirangi excepted, just).
But boy was I surprised! The Hangar was bright, clean, family-friendly and as opposite to my expectation as you can get! It had a comfortable atmosphere where diners of all walks of life can mingle without feeling out of place. The staff were dedicated and obviously took pride in their work. The provision of toys for young children added to my delight that The Hangar is a family-friendly place that also takes other diners' sanity into consideration.
Then came the food, and I felt that the care and consideration in their service did not really go into the food. The Calamari was underseasoned, then unevenly seasoned, then overseasoned as the plate progressed. The coating of the Calamari was undercooked and already soggy when it came onto the table. The pizzas were average, though this rocket-and-ham concoction was a bit finicky to eat, and rocket/arugula seemed to be the only salad leaf around.
Drink-wise, I only ordered a Toblerone cocktail, it took a good long time to arrive and was rather lacklustre if you call it a "cocktail", but it was a pretty acceptable as an "alcoholic iced chocolate".
So overall, The Hangar was a pleasant surprise, both in its environment and food (I had VERY low expectation for their food!). Consider me schooled about West Auckland!

We were not sure what to expect when we first arrived with it being more of a bar than a restaurant and being quite rowdy, but we were pleasantly surprised! It was a lot quieter where us diners were sitting and had a good atmosphere. We ordered the stone-grills which are always a great novelty. The meal had good portions and the sides were so fresh and cooked perfectly. Would recommend!

I've only ever been to The Hanagar for drinks and a dance at night on the weekends - however this time I went with my partner and daughter for lunch. Only 2 other tables with people, however the music was great, the food was AMAZING and when the waitress brought toys over for my daughter, my heart melted watching my daughter put on a massive smile!!

So thank you Hangar!! We will definitely be back on a regular basis!

Went with my husband and cousin we all by coincidence ended up getting every burger on the menu. Each had a different one of course. I had the hangar burger was so good! Classic kiwi combo. My husband had the chicken burger which was also very good and I may order that one next time. And my cousin got the other one which also looked good. The burgers were really good and we went on a Monday which was cheap mains day. Decent size and the staff were very good food came out fast and everything was very good.

This is a good place for after work or a quick lunch. I have never been disappointed with the food. Its a great place to go get a beer, and chips (chips are great).

The menu rarely changes, but it has most of the pub staples plus more! The pizzas are good, the salads and the stone grill.

Staff are friendly and it's all a reasonable price.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this place never having been to a bar out west before but I really enjoyed it! We came here during the big fight and I was able to reserve a seat for it which was such a bonus as it was super packed! We were so lucky that they were willing to take bookings on such and event.

I ordered the steak frites and it was cooked so well and although it took a while (not complaining at all considering the situation) I was happy and content in the bar as it is such a great neighbourhood bar and so clean with service being top notch. There are so many different varieties of dishes on offer, from the stone grill, the mains, pizzas and bar food it really has something for everyone. I had a sample of other peoples dishes and wasn't disappointed in the quality and quantity of it all.

If you are out west and don't want to travel to the city for any game I say to check them out. It's definitely a winner as a sports bar!

I enjoyed my lunch at The Hangar I ordered the stone grill and it was very tasty, and it was novel to be cooking my lunch on the hot stone. The restaurant is lovely but the bar noise carries and it can be very busy and loud.

I throughly enjoy every visit to the Hangar. The food is filled with flavour - i can't help but think that there is a slight Asian-influence in regards to taste. The meals are very large, so you definitely get your money's worth! Such a large variety of options and the presentation is always so lovely! In regards to staff, they are all very warm and friendly! I definitely enjoy dining here... The homely-vibe is what makes it a wonderful place to dine in :-)

I was pleasantly surprised with The Hangar. I always thought it looked a bit rough on the outside but thought one night when I really didn't feel like cooking that we would give it a go. I also had a buy one get one free voucher.
We were given complimentary bread as a special they had on that day.
I had the steak sandwich and my husband had the pork belly.
It was really good! My sandwich was very tasty and a generous portion, I couldn't finish it because of the bread before hand, but if you have a big appetite then it is perfect.
My husband loved the pork belly, the only suggestion he had was for them to include the crackling because they served it without.
Other than that it was a really good pub meal and they have really good meals during the week. I will definitely return to pay full price next time.

I came here for dinner with my partner a few weeks ago and it was amazing! Being vegetarian, my options were somewhat limited (probably the only downside of the night... there are only about three vegetarian meals), but the vegetarian pizza I ordered was delicious and probably one of the best I have ever had at a restaurant!

My partner ordered a Stonegrill (where the meat comes out on a hot stone and you cook it yourself). He's tried Stonegrills at other places and been rather unimpressed, but he said that this one was lovely! He'd ordered a couple of sides with it - creamed spinach and the linguine - and they were like joy in food form. I cannot recommend these enough.

The service was friendly and prompt, and I don't understand the previous reviews at all - this was casual dining at its best!

My family and I had a lovely meal for dinner. Service was prompt and if not I was my own host and knew to wait. I know what it's like to work in hospitality and hope to share ones knowledge to ask to "put your self in one's shoes". If our meal wasn't up to our "dining experience" then we would all moan to have stayed home. (so my husband would announced out loud. $$$)
Before our dining experience I researched this bar/restaurant and found it out to be nothing like its ratings.
My husband enjoyed the pork meal (I mean, how else is a SLOW cooked pork belly suppose to look like?? SHINNY? CRISPY?.) Go figure lady!!
I ordered the eye fillet for what seemed like a bank loan but it was delicious.
My children loved their meals with the extras we brought, so hey?? It was money well spent.

Went here for Mothers day to have a couple of drinks and a bite to eat. Was surprised that it was relatively quiet (as were the bar staff). Perhaps it is not the norm but that's OK we got a great table outside and enjoyed the space.

This place is pretty much what you would expect from the Gastro Pub style. It does offer the novelty of Stone Grill dining which is fun once or twice and then you want someone to cook it for you especially at the price. I can go anywhere and pay $30 for a steak and I have to say I would probably get more at those places too.

Don't get me wrong the food is pretty good but you are paying the upper end for what you are getting. We had pizzas, wedges, steaks, and chicken at our table and everyone was very happy.

We will go back as it is the best option in that area for a sit outside and enjoy a beer and a bite experience.

The Hangar was a great venue to host our engagement party! Only required a small deposit and minimum spend for the night. The team let us have early access for decorations and roughly 60 guests attended with great space. Upstairs was perfect to hold a private party and the service was amazing, shout out to our bar tender Channy and duty manager Laura :)
