Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. The garlic bread was amazing as was the steak, the pulled pork was a little dry but still very tasty. Good size portions but we couldn't resist finishing off sharing a waffle which was delicious. All in all a really lovely meal.
Nice place, tried on a whim, food and drinks came out quick. Staff were friendly. Only downside was the platter. A table for 4, it just doesn't fit. We had to move the condiment station to another table, and my plate was on my lap. None of us could move enough to eat comfortably and I just coul
A delicious BBQ place in Taupo is very welcomed. We were really hungry after walking the Tongariro Crossing.
You can definitely smell BBQ as you walk into the restaurant and that’s not a bad thing!
We started with some wings and they were the right thing to wet the appetite. You can smell and tast
Was so satisfied with the food and service. We ordered the platter and every element on the platter was so delicious. There chilli sauce was awesome too. A place to go for dinner in Taupo.
This was really quite a nice dinner. Kids meals were generous and well enjoyed, our fried chicken was huge and we were glad to split it with a side/“small plate” of extremely tasty burnt ends. Other meals we saw looked generous and worth the price tag, but do consider some kind of split unless you a
Great shared board with a good selection of meats on rice.
Tidy premises and friendly staff.
Had a nice kids meal aswell.
I've had American bbq in the US and i can't in honesty say that this matched that. The reality is that this is southern bbq INSPIRED as opposed to trying replicate the genuine article.
I had the Pork Belly Burnt Ends & the Tex Mex Chicken Burger.
To begin, Burnt Ends refers to the small point of m
Was looking around the internet for somewhere to eat before arriving in Taupo an picked SMK and it did not disappoint! Excellent service and surroundings an the food was amazing! Highly recommend to all A+ 10/10
Amazing! We got a share box diner for 2. We added cornbread and bacon Mac and cheese aswell so we could try everything and we're not disappointed at all! The meat was delicious aswel as the gravy. I highly recommend anyone to go if in the area. We will back 😊😋
All of the food coming out looked delicious. We had the platter for 2 with a side of Mac n cheese, and it was a big feed. All the flavours were great. Only 2 comments I'd give on the platter would be that I did not expect the 3 pulled meats to all be on a bed of rice, I'd have much rather have had t
Had a very delightful meal here, our reserved table was right by the window we got the early so we had the whole place to ourselve. Enjoy the atmosphere 💕
Great BBQ restaurant, great variety on the menu and such a warm, cosy atmosphere. The meals came in large portions which is good if you’re looking for a ‘good feed’ after a day out.
Best chicken I have had in my life! It was succulent and juicy. The chips and gravy just throw the dish over the edge. I was absolutely blown away!!!
We also had the pulled pork burger which was full of smokey goodness! Highly recommend this place if you havent already been.
Friendly staff and nice BBQ. We got a pit meal and added an extra meat. We also tried the cornbread (not the best we've had). It was more than enough for the 2 of us
The food was amazing! Definitely worth a visit! Meat was super tender and flavourful and the bread tasted like buttery pastry goodness.
Person ordered burger pulled pork, said was best burger tasted.
Steak was cooked as requested and all food delicious
Had really nice burgers in this stylish place. Both brisket and pulled pork burgers were great.
