We live in Waiuku popped in a for a drink very friendly staff and nice atmosphere.Lady at the table next to us suggested we try the lamb it was melt in your mouth very tasty and nicely presented have been back twice now highly recommended
Awesome service, good value for money and a satisfying experience 😄
I had the steak meal... It was good but I wish the potions were bigger for the price... The mashed potato was soooo good though... But should of had more then 2 mushrooms parts... I was very impressed with how fast our meals came out despite being busy and the service was very good... Very reasonable for 8 meals, 2 wines and 3 soft drinks costing $183...
More than the food, I love their customer service, as it makes you want to order more. Thank you lovely ladies! Had a great time with family and friends - nice ambience, good food and chill music!😀
We enjoyed our dinner tonight ! Great place to dine in !!A nice chilled space , amazing service delivered from the workers . Also , we ordered the lamb shank and baby back ribs for dinner and I kid you not the bloody meat feel off the bone nicely , tender and full of flavour. Highly recommend this place . So happy to say this would be my number one place for Baby back Ribbs ! 10000/100
The sauce that comes with the steak is absolutely unbelievable 😋 it’s so so so good! The beef burger is also amazing 👌🏼 definitely recommend
First time being at Woodside last night! Enjoyed the food, very nice! I would say service is a bit slow, water wasn’t brought to our table for about 10 minutes and no one approached us until we called someone over to take our order. Our meals weren’t checked on although everything was fine it’s nice to be asked. The food portions are a little small but again, delicious! I would say we’ll be back
This place is great for catching up with friends. Food is great and cooked to expectation. Well seasoned and full of flavour. The service was prompt, fast and friendly. Great music and clean bathrooms. Reasonably priced. Loved the cocktail, didn’t need dessert after. Perfect for those with a sweet tooth.
We've been here a couple of times upon my partner's recommendation. He had a company lunch and told me that I would love the place.
And I did! I always order the jalapeno poppers which really has the omph factor.
Coffee and food have been consistently good. I personally love the chicken wings which is on the bar menu.
They have live music on Sundays from 3 pm too. Woodside generally gives off a nice chillax vibe.
The only reason I'm not giving a 5 is because of 1 or 2 staff who appeared rather rude and hostile when taking our orders. Other than that, definitely recommend this place and we'll keep coming back!
Food has always been consistent
We had lunch here the food is amazing 5/5 the ambience 5/5 Nice and clean! I recommend the pork ribs! salmon size for lunch meal is qwite small just a heads up, but it’s delicious! meals r pricey but worth it.. also had a cocktail forgot what it was called 5/5 definitely coming back here again
Excellent service. Loved my long Island ice tea, however did not really enjoy the chipotle. Loved the wedges. Great ambiance outdoors. Needs more chairs for the bigger crowds.

Situated in the heart of Manukau across the way to the Westfield Mall and the infamous Krispy Kreme donuts is a new Family Bar Restraunt caked Woodside big bold lettering sits on the top of the roof edge enticing you to take a sneak peek what lies beyond this building😀
There’s ample parking and one doorway which is away to the side that leads you into a fresh clean open space venue which is a wonderful surprise as your led to believe by the exterior could be a fizzer a let down lol
It’s concrete polished floors and upbeat industrial interior is really cool
Me like lots... it’s not cluttered it’s not busy.. it’s fitted out nicely... room to glide around the tables to the bar and even out to the court yard which has a nice entertaining area for those summer days to dine outside 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The Staff are clean fresh looking dressed casually but very professional they are very attentive and are excited to serve and accommodate you for your dining experience or for a relaxed drink with your friends or family they make you feel at ease
The service is great our food orders were taken in a timely manner they had great recommendations and knew there products well
Food portions presentation excellent
Food we ordered OMG delicious we were happy hippos 😇😊
Affordable afternoon night for the 3of us we had starters mains drinks that came to a total of $128
We were happy delighted
Definitely be back again
Great place for our local Manukau residents
5/5

I had seen this place a few times when I was heading to krispy kreme for my sweet tooth fix. I always thought "hey I should go there and try it some time". My partner and I were driving around looking for a place for lunch and decided we would go here.
First impressions, the place is quite nice as it's rather new and the outside area is a pretty decent size, fenced too (which would be good for kids) and there was decent space between all the tables.
My partner and I order burgers, one chicken and one beef. NOTE their menu has been updated and some items have been removed such as the pork belly burger.
The food was a decent size for lunch. My chicken burger was pretty good, the bun was soft on the inside but had a nice crunch (crispiness?) to the outside. The chicken itself was nice as it wasn't to greasy and overpowering. The chips were nothing amazing but nothing to be concerned about. The beef burger (no picture because my partner ate it straight away!) was good, again the size was decent, chips were okay. The only comments my partner made was that he really liked the bacon and that the beef patty itself was a tad overcooked for his liking.
Overall the place is good for the south auckland area, it would be a sweet setup for after work drinks or a catch up with mates during the weekend. I would like to come back and try the dinner options out!

Came here on Saturday noon with my little man and wife. Apparently, they only served a very limited brunch menu between 10 to 4 on weekends.
We sat outdoors so our son could wander around. It was a sunny day, so he enjoyed basking under the heat and fiddling with the chairs and other props.
I ordered their grilled chicken taco with spicy mashed avocado, while wife had fish and chips. My son, always more interested in other activities apart from eating, settled for a fried sausage and a bit of chips from our plate.
I was disappointed from the first bite as I felt some water dripping onto my hands from my taco. It came from their boiled iceberg lettuce, which obviously was not drained properly. It was also quite bland. Grilled chicken could improve if they added more flavour in it.
As for my wife's fish, it was okay. The dipping sauce saved the otherwise ordinary dish. Fortunately the fish portion was big so I could get a piece of it for myself. The sausage, meanwhile, had a herby taste in it which my son did not agree with.
Despite the letdown in food, our experience was good overall due to an amazing service and fantastic ambiance. We might go back for dinner to check out their full menu.
Good food, a little bit salty for my wife, my 3 years old boy like the kid's meal and my mum like the slot machines. The story of the histories of South Auckland on the wall is interesting. Enjoyable after all will visit again.
Had lunch here, had the steak and rocket sandwich Yummy! Partner had the chicken and bacon burger said it was really good. Chips were beautiful also, service was awesome! Nice modern open space, bathroom nice and clean.
Great service? Yes
Yummy nibbles? Yes
Good atmosphere? Yes
Overall a really enjoyable, though short visit. A couple of drinks and a nibble with my partner, the whole thing cost us around $60. The staff were so professional and really friendly. Keep up the good work.
The platter: good combination of items, generous serving of blue cheese, which needed a thicker bread or cracker than the crispy pita. I also really wanted more of the Smokey chorizo which was amazing. Chicken was an odd (but welcomed) addition to platter. I was expecting chicken wings for some reason but it’s more schnitzel. Pickles, peppers, hummus and balsamic evoo with side garden salad were a great addition. Yellow dip- no good!
And.. the...Perfect hot chips.
It was an awesome experience for my husband and i, we decided to check out this new joint in Manukau, support locally and we really enjoyed the atmosphere and our time here. The best part was the singing trio. If you want to go somewhere on Sunday for a nice dinner and music this is the best place to be.
We ordered some entree, and we thoroughly enjoyed this, garlic bread and wings. Spicy Sauce for the wings great, garlic bread was ok.
We loved the mains. We needed more for my husband cause he eats a lot. So we ordered extra sides.
Absolutely loved the dessert, I have a sweet tooth too, the bounty was amazing! The desert fizzles in your mouth, the mousse and ice cream Devine! Absolutely loved it.
Will definitely go back, even if it’s just for drinks and music. Love it.
We really enjoyed our evening, the live music is great but slightly too loud to allow for conversation. Food was of a good quality and portions. Kids meals were awesome, complete with dessert. Good, solid family time!
Had dinner here the other night and it was really good. Food was delicious and I wish I had more. There was a band playing whilst we were there and the music was really good too. The music gave it a high uplifting atmosphere through out the night.
It was our first time at woodside, we used the first table app to book our dinner which was 4:30. At that time it wasn't that busy which was nice. We ordered 2 cocktails and our meal. Our service was great and hardly any wait time for our dinner. The taro and coconut cream was nice especially with the prawn toast and chicken wings. We skipped dessert and finished with a caramel espresso martini. Perfect finish to a lovely meal.
Just home from an awesome night with my parents . First time in this location, and it won't be the last. Food was excellent and the surroundings made my family feel welcome. Actually this place may be new but carries a lot of history. So find out for yourselves :-)
A spectacular ambience with a flare of Pasifika flava...with music and food. Live music and great quick services. My Seafood chowder and pudding was spectacular!

My family and I booked a table for 5 and in the end added more. Woodside was very accomodating and we had to move areas but were very grateful. A lot of the table ordered the seafood chowder. It was fresh and all but coming from a very island/Māori family would have done it better (4/5). I had a steak and love it as dear as you can get and was very happy with it because most of the time restaurants over cook my steak but the chef did mine perfectly (5/5). The only photos I got were of our deserts and they were ok. It’s obvious that the chef is either islander or Samoan cause we got panikeke and vaisalo(faipula) can’t remember the actual word. But these were average in taste. I have been to Samoa and lived there for a little while and I can tell you a 2tala version of this is 99% better than the version on offer here. I understand it was a fancier version but it just didn’t do it for me. I love the idea but the execution needs more work. The menu is not really catered to kids so I wouldn’t recommend taking kids here if your kids are simple like mind was. Overall I would come here again but will go somewhere else for desert. Loved the live entertainment he was an awesome singer as well. Thank you for your customer service which was 5/5.

Walk in. Great friendly service, lovely atmosphere, value for dinner for 2, and the food was delicious... I definitely recommend it and will go back again.
Had a wonderful Mother's day lunch.
I tried to book a table online today Morning - was not successful as it was fully booked for the day.
We walked in at 2pm directly to the restaurant.
MARAEA the best staff was very kind enough to offer us a table.
We had a sumptuous lunch, good portion and fabulously cooked meal.
Maraea also threw a free Mothers day Chocolate Brownie.
Good service, clean and spacious resturant and great ambiance.
Would recommend to my friends.
The only remark I have was we didn't receive the special 20% off on Salmon dish which was promised at the time of taking order and was not automatically incorporated in the final bill, i didn't ask for it before billing, realised only after paying the full amount.
Priscila the manager said she can't authorize credit the after the bill has been processed.

Had drinks n food there at Happy hour. Shared big platters of chicken, spare ribs, savouries etc. Very filling. Very friendly, attentive, welcoming staff and Manager! Will go back there again! Thankyou Woodside Bar!
I had a Woodside burger nice home made patties but I want to see they put more fries on the plates look a bit less for the price.
my friend had a fish and chip and was dry and oily.
Sirloin steak nice big portion and tender but fries a bit less.
the waiter need approach customer more and see how is going on.
Restaurant clean and tidy good for big gathering.
suggestion that reaper sauce waay too hot as I like spicy food could change into aeoli or tabasco.
I give 4 star👏👏👏👏 good job woodside.
I tried out Woodside in Manukau due to positive feedback from my sister. Upon arrival, the restaurant looked very impressive and we were warmly greeted and seated promptly. The ambiance was warm and inviting and I appreciated seeing large family groups of diverse backgrounds scattered around the restaurant.
We ordered salads with kumara fries with the apple crumble for dessert. I was impressed by how efficient the service was with food order and delivery, and it was particularly impressive how readily our beverages refreshed. I enjoyed dinner the dessert was amazing, as well as my soy latte.
This is a great location for groups or casual catch ups for drinks or a meal in Manukau because the gastrobar menu is vast and likely to suit all palates.
We were looking for some place opened beyond 8pm on a Sunday evening in the Manukau / Flat bush area and came across this spot. Nice place, not too busy, friendly staff. Food was good. We ordered the lamb pizza and the sesame salad. Caved and had dessert which was well well worth it. Very reasonably priced .
Awesome service, great music, clean warm atmosphere. We came just for drinks this time but will be back for dinner soon! The staff are an asset to this place, very welcoming.
Food tasted amazing. I ordered the ribs and the meat just falls right off. So tender and flavorful. The chips had a nice crunch despite being the bed for the ribs. Salad was delicious, too.
Place was clean and spacious.
Food was good, ambience was warm and inviting & really loved the poly fusion menu items. My fried chicken burger was tasty & the Sua fai'i pannacotta was a nice change from the usual desert choices found at other places. Lots of parking, and attentive staff.
My new favorite place. Great service throughout our meal. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food was delicious.
Ribs are always sooo good here! The rewana bread that came with the wha a spin of the Vietnamese dish was yummmm was too full to have the dumplings probably always best to have the dumplings while they're hot!
