Had a good experience, fast service, food out quickly etc. 100% recommend the alcoholic milkshakes and the Popcorn Cauli. Staff were friendly, the lady that took our payment was really nice.

Only four stars because we had to ask for water, other than that, 10/10.

A wonderful homely place, great service, FABULOUS food and fair pricing.
The least (not at all) stringy calamari ever! Perfectly cooked food - tops to the chef!

Loved loved loved it here! We’re out of towners but man did we hit the food jackpot, we ordered the chicken wings with the honey sauce so delicious and even better the night we went they were only $1 per wing! BONUS. Then we ordered curly fries, Mac n 3 cheese, and one beef and one chicken bao bun, the chicken one was my favourite. We wanted to try the cookie in he pan but there was no room left in our stomachs 😂. Loved the atmosphere and the vibe from the staff had awesome service from one girl there with a tattoo sleeve VERY VERY FRIENDLY!

Will definitely be back next time we visit Rotorua.

After reviewing several lacklustre Zomato recommendations for various restaurants, I ventured down to Eat Street and came across this little gem. Had a burger, cauliflower poppers and a “beer tasting flight”.
Poppers: fantastic tapas dish. Great balance of flavours. The burger was succulent, with a perfectly cooked patty, Smokey bacon and just the right amount of sauce upon crisp lettuce.
The beer flight was a suggestion of my waiter and is well worth it (and I am not usually a beer drinker!). There is a great choice of local beers not to be sampled anywhere else.
Service was attentive and friendly. The place had a good mix of locals and tourists.
If you are in a mood for some honest Kiwi food whilst in Rotorua, add this place to your list.

Really enjoyed my stonegrill meal here, the only fault would have been the salad but other than that the meal was delicious. I also had the Pan baked cookie and ice cream which I highly recommend. I must also add that the customer service was perfect 👌

Located in EatStreet, this is a vibrant and lively place. Amazing vibe it has. We tried the beef burger and Stone Grilled lamb. Burger was amazing but the Stone grilled lamb was something unbelievable...
Worth every cent i must say. Friendly staff and frankly didn’t have another night or would have gone back for the stone grill

Ambience: its all clean, well lit, the interior is fascinating.

Food: we had stone grills, the chicken and the Cut. Surf and Turf as well. it took a long while to have them served. And the surf and turf was more on well than Medium. Its worth the experience and enough to have us wanting for more. 4.5 Because of the long wait and the steak temp.

SERVICE: A HUGE PLUS. We had Greg serve us during our dining experience and he was awesomee! We had a long wait, he kept on checking on us. And gave us complimentary sweets which was very sweet. He took time to have a little chat with us and really completed our wonderful dinner. Thanks Greg!

Great way to end a full day of hiking. I highly recommend the stone grill. The beer was also top notch. All and all the price for what you get is reasonable

My partner and I went here for a snack after leaving another restaurant hungry and unsatisfied and were greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. We just got a flat bread, which we loved, but because the atmosphere and staff were so great and we liked the menu we decided to go back for dinner the next night. The next night we were absolutely not disappointed with the same welcoming and friendly atmosphere. I got the chicken fettuccine and it was AMAZING, best pasta I've ever had and would 100% go back for it. My partner had a burger which was absolutely delicious as well. An absolute gem in Rotorua, highly recommend!

There was a queue. All tables were full of large groups and we immediately regretted choosing this place with the fear we'd be waiting an hour. We were wrong.
The service was great, the staff were positive, chatty and jovial even though they were obviously stretched.
We ordered the signature cbk salads and a squid to share.
The food arrived in 15 minutes, was well presented, tasted fresh and was a great portion size for lunch.
The squid was cooked perfectly. This is a great lunch spot! Thoroughly recommend.

The burger there is freaking big. The combo is too much for myself. The chips are really good, outside is crispy and inside is soft and smooth. The staff gave me the recommendations about the beer, they r really good. I also like their decorations

when we went it was in the good little brunch-ish time so it wasnt quite so busy, but we ordered the buttermilk pancakes, which was sooooo gooooodddd and the calamari which was delicious, the hashbrown and the cookie in a skillet, which is if you have a sweet tooth like i do would definitely hit the spot, they were all very delicious, the waiter was super friendly and he gave such good information on what places are fun to go to if your touring rotorua

Awesome breakfast here! My partner had the butchers breakfast and I had scrambled eggs on toast with coffees.
Coffees were excellent, butchers breakfast was delicious and sausages were top notch. The basil pesto was addictive. Eggs on toast were spot on.
Lovely service despite a super busy morning due to the marathon being in town. Would love to go again for dinner and try that skillet cookie thing :-)

Had a fantastic time at this great cafe - mostly due to the staff. Miss seven was a little scared of her stone grill, and someone who I assume was the manager spent some time and talked her through it - to the point where she wants to go back and have another! The staff were friendly and attentive - and the pork and prawn burger is fantastic. My scallops and prawns were a bit overdone but overall very enjoyable.

We stopped in here for dinner after a long day on the bus. It was great to enjoy craft beer from the Good George Brewery along with chicken bacon poppers and an the most enormous helping of fish and chips I have ever seen. Also of interest was the ability to vote on/buy/schedule? the next music video to come on the big screen. There was a bit of confusion with our seating and order (possibly a new server with English as a second language) but things did show up correct eventually.

Wow totally new menu and both my wife and i tried 2 totally different dishes. She chose the Stone Grilled chicken and i had the whisky infused Beef Brisket with glazed carrots and duck fat cube potatoes. The nicest meal in a while. Place was really busy which likely explained the need to ask when our meals were coming.

I went here for dinner one night, got the Calamari and the Dumplings Laksa...the calamari was said to have Old Bay seasoning on it and as an American whose favorite seasoning is Old Bay (even brought a couple containers to Aotearoa/New Zealand for gifts), didn't think the calamari hit the mark with seasoning. However, the Dumpling Laksa was amazing; I came back the next day to have it again for lunch, got a side of garlic bread too. I'd really like the recipe, as I need it on a weekly basis and Arizona is too far away!

I can say that our experience at CBK in Rotorua was excellent. The food and drinks we ordered were delicious and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The service was quick, which made for a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. The atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant were also top-notch, adding to the overall great experience. I would highly recommend CBK to anyone looking for great food and drinks in a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

I feel a little harsh, giving CBK a 4 star review, as they were very good apart from one area. Once our food was delivered to the table, we didn't see a waiter again. I mentioned it on the way out, and the manager received the information well.

Stone grill lamb was tender and you get to finish searing it on your hot stone right at your table. The huntsman breakfast had generous portions and everything in it was delicious. Service was a bit slow though.

We were here for breakfast as it is one of the few places on eat street that actually serves a vegan breakfast. The vegan option was the muesli which was quite delicious, though for vegans who don’t want a jaw workout first thing in the morning, tough luck as the bar does not serve anything outside the breakfast menu in the morning. There are a lot of other delicious looking vegan options (the vegan sandwich sounded mouthwatering) on the other menus though which we did not get the opportunity to try.

Great service, yum dessert! Coconut chicken is gooood!! Great kumara fries... Mayo is pretty good. Lamb stone plate pretty good have to thank my brother for that... Self cook meat. Chips good too. Fried chicken is always a solid option 👍👍 chocolate fondue looked good sounds good tastes better is a must try. 100% favorite Cookie special... Options for ice cream and flavored sauce.. sweet tooth so went vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce. Wow!! So good. Looking forward to coming back to explore the rest of the menu. Highly recommend this bar and eatery
