I always order the Ribs for my grandpa, now if you know my grandpa, you would know that he is quite picky at times but these ribs have him hooked! Delivery is also very efficient!

Went here for holiday at winter. Great atmosphere, heater is a little to hot though. Extremely good steak. Excellent service, but the price is a little over. Overall it's worth it and very good.

We are actually looking for a different kind of lunch in Rotorua, we normally go to good old fast food places. We ordered the fettuccini with chicken and bacon, Southern smoked ribs with fries. The fettuccini was really cheesy and tasty while the ribs are great with their homemade sauce. Although the ribs has a bit less meat but still “sweet as”. We also ordered chocolate sundae which is alot for one and potato wedges which is too much after finishing the ribs.

Came here from Auckland and I had never been!
Food - The ribs were OK not the best I have tasted and a bit overpriced compared to how tasty it was.

I ordered the apricot chicken with baked potato (with sour cream) and salad and a side of mushroom sauce
Pro’s - would definitely come back here only for the mushroom sauce it was the best thing I ordered and the salad was dressed well also which was nice.
Cons - I didn’t like the baked potato I think mash would go better with the dish.
Chicken was OK but probably not order it again.

Ambience -
This place is definitely family friendly there is a game space the kids can play in until the meals arrived and the waitresses were always smiling and really friendly to the kids which is so nice. The desserts were ok I loved the chocolate cake.

My review is based on the service, whether it was family friendly and how quick the food arrived (under 30mins and it was a full house!) if anything was wrong with the above I would of given a 3

Went there for a weekend get away from Auckland. Was greeted by a friendly waitress, service is excellent. Food is good. Haven’t tried the Auckland branch as it is closed down so glad to try the Rotorua branch. Will visit again if I go to Rotorua.

Outstanding service from all the lovely ladies for our recent dinner meal here. The two ladies looking after us consistently checked in during the course of our meal, cleared plates promptly and provided great recommendations. Chips with the meal were cooked to perfection. Steaks cooked well but you will need to add pepper and salt - it also could have been rested more before being served. Ribs were tasty and big, was so good. The stand out were their sticky date pudding dessert and Toblerone cocktail drink. I was very pleased with my meal here.

Just drove into Rotorua after a tiring 3.5 hour drive from Auckland and the carnivore in me was on the prowl looking for some fresh carcass to feed on and I had my cross-hairs set on some Angus Beef OR some fine Pork Ribs and that's when I stumbled upon "Cobb & Co".

A bar painted in matt-black, reminiscent of some Texan Bar & Grill I had been to; this place was quiet (at least during the time I chose to visit) and the server was eager to assist, in helping me choose the best available wine and since I had already made up my mind about what I wanted to devour; imagine my delight when I found the confluence of both the steak and ribs arriving as one combo. As always, I elected for my steak to be done "medium-well" and owing to my restricted carb intake diet paradigm, I relinquished my fries and voted for the steamed veggies in lieu thereof. The steak was beautifully done with that mild pink at its center and I must admit that I was compelled to unashamedly order 2 additional helpings of their mushroom-pepper sauce to douse my steak with, which to say the least would have one make a beeline straight to the confessional, since it was so sinfully delicious. The restaurant server (Rohan was his name if my ever-deteriorating memory serves me right) who doubled up as my sommelier; informed me that "Volcanic Hills" was one of the best available local reds (Pinot Noir) that Rotorua had to offer and was indeed worth trying and boy was he "spot on". Purported to exude a bouquet of Dark Berries, Cherries & Spices, I could perceive more of the berries and cherries and none of the spice; but I got to admit that there was a rich creamy mouthfeel reminiscent of butter and albeit a tad too dry; the fruity notes of the berries stood out and overall the wine was quite well-balanced.

The dramatis personæ that ended up on our platter are as set out below;

1. Cobb Carnivore (Angus Beef with Mushroom Pepper Sauce & Pork Ribs in BBQ Sauce with Frisée Lettuce Salad & Steamed Veggies on the side
2. Buffalo Wings
3. Wedges with the Works
4. Roast of the day (Pork)
5. Coconut Chicken with Coconut Sauce.
6. Coach Burger

From amongst the foregoing, the chef d'oeuvre was undoubtedly the "Cobb Carnivore" followed closely by the "Coconut Chicken". In essence, this is a "must-visit feeding ground", if you swing by Rotorua... that is... and is for the self-indulgent carnivore looking for quality fodder.

Well done... Cobb & Co... Bravo...!!!

Hubby and I were visiting Rotorua and came across this classic bar and grill (seeing as we are from Auckland we hadn't seen one in quite sometime) so we just walked in and even though they were fully booked the most polite hostess assured us a table within 30mins so we were kindly asked to wait in the bar area. not too long later we were called to a table and served straight away but another very polite waitress. she took our order promptly and within a few minutes we were already served our starter. we had the buffalo wings (not so big but still yummy) and soon after our mains came to the table. both hubby and i had the rump steak. cooked to perfection and the mushroom sauce was so delicious. we looked over at our neighbors dishes and they had ordered the ribs which looked amazing and HUGE! (must try next time. we really enjoyed our meals and they were super filling. would totally recommend this Iconic restaurant. if i had to point out any flaws it would only be the presentation of our steak meals however all the other dishes we saw looked pretty good to us. thumbs up Cobb & Co. Rotorua. your service was exceptional.

A childhood classic full of nostalgia! The staff were friendly and service was quick. There were plenty of options on the menu (including old favourites!). I ordered the Hoover Hogg which was nice but unfortunately the crackle wasn't crispy at all. The absolute highlight of my meal was the sticky date pudding - hands down the best I've ever had in my life. Big call I know, but so so good!

It was quite nostalgic to come to cobb & Co to eat the cobb chips and have a glass of traffic lights or pink panther.

Service was nice even though the place was empty. The food was good. Thay had free WiFi and a games corner for kids including a couple of playstations.

Excellent service, HUGE portions! It was busy when we arrived, we really liked the kids corner and so did the kids!! We had a helpful and attentive waitress, had to wait a while for the food, which more than made up for it in taste when it arrived. We enjoyed our meals and would definitely be back again!!

Was part of a large party, unfortunately the kitchen overlooked two of our meals but were quick to send out an complimentary entree upon realising their mistake. Service staff were good natured and gave good service.

Went to Cobb & Co today for my sons birthday lunch, they were super accommodating, allowed me to put up the decorations last night and earlier today even tho they were closed. Meals were 10/10 for all of us! There was 23 of us and no complaints at all. Food was brought out to us soo quickly but quality was still really good and well presented. Service was amazing from all staff especially our waitress, I didn't get your name today but thank you very very much, my son absolutely loved today which I am very grateful for.

Enjoyed my meal (beer battered fish with chips and salad) with pleasure. Catering for senior citizens with proof of gold card. Wheelchair access awesome. Plenty of parking. They hold award for best lamb and steak meals. Served with creamy mash or chips. Highlight of the day which is definitely new to me, was food driven to your table by a mechanical robot, then served to you by a waiter. Waiters extremely polite attending to your whims with a smile. Enjoyment provided for children by means of free computer games and puzzles with pencils on the back of your placemats. Wonderful for families with or without children. Plenty room provided between tables. I certainly enjoyed my time there.

Came for entree, dinner and drinks. Service was average. A bit confusing with the robots delivering the food yet still requiring a server to be with the robot. The food was okay, not served hot and not anything spectacular. The drinks however were delicious!

Friendly staff that invited us in and shown us to our seat. Did an online reservation. Quite intuitive and made reminders closer to the time. The restaurant was family friendly. The meals were enjoyed by all. Portion size were big so well worth the money. Meals were delivered by a robot. Very novel. Check it out.

We returned to Cobb & Co for family dinner after many many years. The meals are reasonable price. The kids loved their fancy drinks and nice meal. The chicken salad was tasty and my fish was cooked perfectly. It's definitely a family restaurant. Their robot serving machine is definitely a highlight.

I haven't been to a Cobb & Co for over 30 years, as I have been out of the country. I had fond memories of the Cobb back then, I was totally impressed with how they have continued to provide value for money and a great tasting meal. Thank you for experience. I highly recommend anyone looking for a great meal & atmosphere, don't look any further than the old Cobb & Co.
