I really enjoyed the Nashville Hot Chicken burger š with chilli fries š¶ šfor $22 NZD. I could taste the flavour combo of chilli and garlic in the chips and were seasoned all the way. The burger was also enjoyable. The chicken patty was moist, and it complimented nicely with the slaw + thinly sliced pickles and jalapeƱo.
I would definitely give Grill Meats Bar a go if you are in Cuba Street. Great service overall and I look forward to coming back to try out the chargrill menu range.
We weren't starving so didnt have a burger but instead had a range of starts, they were great and would go back. For lunch they were busy which is a good sign! Large range of beer, would love to go ba k for dinner and a burger :)
Nice burgers - easily the best in Welly. Great food and excellent range of beers.
I always pop in for a visit when visiting from Akl, as I've yet to find a place up there, that even comes remotely close to the same quality - rather embarrassing for the largest city in NZ!!
The food, beer and coffee scene in Welly is the best, hands down.
The blue cheese chicken nibbles I had to start with were amazing and I could have had a full size plate of just them. We went there specifically to get the ribs (I had heard were great) which were unfortunately not being served that night, so that knocked a star off the rating. My partner and i both ordered Wagyu steak instead, there was some inconsistency with the two plates but it was still a great meal. Friendly staff and delicious beer, I'll be back.
Hello. We just got two burgers from here and they were literally outstanding. Like wow. Amazing. Considered calling them to say just how amazing they were but decided this is the more appropriate way to do so. 10/10 would recommend teehee
Very nice burgers
The staff are very friendly and itās always busy
Thereās a good vibe and the ambience is great
We will definitely come back
Overall - great food, nice place, would go back
Food: Great food, while burger and fries can be a very simple affair, these burgers are nice. Our table had the AB's burger, Piggy McPigface, SA burger and the Nashville. All were rated well. The chips were nice and crisp and lightly golden. Overall great food.
Service: Food timing was great, no long wait and friendly too. Our biggest issue was one of our group had his entire drink accidentally poured into his lap. It was replaced as well as his meal and in reasonable time. Our comment though was that at the time of paying, there was no apology and nothing was deducted or altered off the bill. Our view is that it is the fix that gives you the positive memory, and in this case if their was an apology at the time of paying and then his meal half price or free, we would feel satisfied it was recognised.
Ambience: Nice place, not too noisy, great establishment.
Great selection of food here. And beers too! Came here in my first week of coming to Wellington. Delicious food! Worth the visit if you get a chance.
I had a burger canāt recall right now which one and my girlfriend had the ribs.
So yummy.
And i love it when a restaurant has a good selection of beers
Have been here a few times with friends and with my girlfriend whose vegetarian.Ā I Got some of theĀ chicken wings and they were absolutely delicious, best wings I have ever had. Though the menu is a little pricey the burgers are absolute worth it. Treat yourself ! the staff are very friendly and know the menu.Ā
This place is usually really busy so get in early.
Went here in about June this year.
The first time I went about a year before I LOVED it. Was a great burger.
This time was ok. Burger pretty yum (not as good as the first time), but service very minimal, despite only having four tables and about five staff.
Would still go back, but the first time service was great; a shame to see it had slipped.
ā¢ā¢ Vegetarian Night ā¢ā¢
I LOVED it & MY tummy LOVED it.
Highly Recommended. Must Visit.
Well Done & Thank You.

Stopped by for 'Friday' lunch today. Ā Went with the lunch special, Maple Grilled Chicken Thigh on Quinoa. Ā It was amazing for a $12 meal, great flavours and good portion size to last the afternoon without a nap under the desk. Ā My dining partner went for the Bull & Pig Burger, and was also very impressed with the perfectly cooked burger patty and complement of flavours with quality Bacon and Chunky Fries.
Will definitely be heading back soon to sample the menu further - and the extensive beer selection.
Went here for lunch and had the Wellington On A Plate burger. It was AMAZING!
Mr. Beefy
Cheese-stuffed pasture fed beef patty with Tuatara London Porter-braised beef brisket, bell peppers, jalapeƱo hot sauce and pilsner cheese sauce.
Really great service, quick to order and bring food out. A lovely way to break up the work day.
This place was buzzing - a full house with great fast service! The food was on point as well and at a reasonable price, you won't be disappointed. I had the popcorn fish and the chicken burger and I couldn't finish it all, it's safe to say that burger defeated me!! Yum. Can't wait to go back.
Very busy when we arrived Saturday at 6.30 ish. Service staff were very accommodating and we waited at the bar looking over the grill for half an hour or so. Meal was great. 400g steak cooked rare to perfection, salmon, pork ribs, fish bites, duck and shitake dumplings, maple and truffle honey chicken with apricots. Service was courteous and speedy across the board and we watched the chefs "in the zone". A strong team that delivered admirably. Highly recommended.
Came here for dinner last night. My friend and I ordered Hot Nashville Chicken Burger and it was really good. I also loved the seasoning that they put on their chips. The waitress that served us was very helpful and friendly. It was a bit busy when we came but the service was surprisingly fast.
Won a competition on Facebook and got to try the 'Burger of the Week' with a friend. The EL JEFE was pretty good - beef patty was cooked medium rare and was seriously juicy. The service was good too, waitress was friendly and got our lunch real quick.
Went for lunch today and even the teenager smiled.
Ā Love the idea of a simple burger menu but the burgers can be added to, also enjoyed the relaxed service and the eating. When the food arrived I did think the fries were on the light side but the serve was just right and the fries were very good and crispy. I had a sneaky Hushpuppy and that will now be a new habit.Ā
JFC was good too.
Went in for lunch as a group looking for a quick bite seeing as Fidels was overly noisy and busy. Had a bowl of olives and a beef burger with fries. Service was fast, olives were nice and warm. Burger was slightly on the greasy side but overall the store was clean, warm and in a great location.
Don't be afraid of the spice - it's just right! A superb burger and beer joint. So glad we found this on our travels and will most certainly pop back in on our next pass. Chicken Burger comes highly recommend. On a scale of 1 to Burger - this is Burger!
Food was fantastic and the concept of grill meats beer is the best thing ever! Beers were great and really complemented the meals. Steak was cooked perfectly, and mushrooms were amazing!
The best burgers in Wellington without a doubt, always a joy to come here. Chilli fries are amazing and theres a great selection of craft beers available. What more could you want?
Had our first lunch in Wellington here!!! It is a nice place with cozy atmosphere, staff is very friendly and warm. We ordered pork ribs and some baby cos~
Great little place for dinner. We had our daughter with us and service + food was great. Only marked down as we ordered starters but these were forgotten. They gave us fries on the house to compensate which was much appreciated however not having starters changed our dining experience. Otherwise a great place. Great atmosphere, great food.
Great meal here, a great selection of food and beer, the steak was cooked perfectly with good sized portions and very good service. The recommended beer went well with the meal.
This is a place I've been a few times but most recently came on Saturday night and tried the special burger on offer called Brie My Chick. It has deep fried Brie in it.. Yes! Service here is always good and the beer selection is nice and varied. If you're a simply a beer and steak guy - beware you're going to be out of your comfort zone! Just take a chance though and get a nice cold IPA, a big burger or the ribs and settle in for a primo feed.
Exactly what the name says succulently cooked meats with fantastic selection of craft beers to compliment your meal... this is the place for meat and bear lovers.. the ribs were extraordinary. Also the staff were joyful and attentive, even whilst the venue was very busy.... thank you...
GBM is a meat lovers treat! The meat is tender and succulent and the wait staff informative and punctual. Went there with bestie E and she got the GBM beef burger and I the Pork Ribs. We also started our meal off with JFC chicken with sirracha sauce and spicy chicken nibbles with blue cheese cream sauce which were delicious and perfect portions. The mains were filling and hearty. Only glitch was that a few of the extras and a request for cheese were forgotten but quickly amended and discounted for the inconvenience which was really sweet.
Cute waiter too.
Amongst the growing number of smart-casual food joints in Wellington, Grill Meats Beer is certainly a hit with professionals. Passing by I'm often surprised at how busy the place is on a week night, and with this in mind, my friends and I decided to dine in on a Sunday lunchtime.
As expected the layout was crisp and stylish; the relaxing ambience was complemented with some awesome cubicles which we gladly seated ourselves in.
Our meals came out relatively fast. We had a beef burger, chilli chicken burger which came with chilli fries, and ribs. Our consensus was that the ribs were outstanding, smoky and with a hint of pale ale, but the portion was a little disappointing. The burgers were meaty and tasted great but once again portion size left much to be desired. Chilli fries were awesome and unique.
Showstopper: Ribs were ravishing.
Overall Grade: B
Came here a while ago with my boyfriend. We wanted to try something new. We were welcomed and then seated. I really like how its a open kitchen and you can see what the chefs are doing. Our food was delivered to us quite fast. It tasted pretty good to be honest. Its a bit pricey but its worth a try. Thank-you Grill Meats Beer staff for your great customer service and awesome food. Keep up the great work.
Chilli fries were good. The burgers were good- the chicken burger was probably the best. The beef burgers were medium rare which isnt that great for people that dont like pink beef.
We went for a quick Saturday lunch and are so glad we did. Great food, good beer and fantastic friendly service. This was our first time there, but it won't be our last.
I believe that it is the concrete playground website that rated this place as the number one burger joint in Wellington. And to be fair they seemed to have it spot on. I'm not going to lie, the burger I had at burger liquor was far superior. But don't get it twisted, the burger here was great as well. I had the bull and pig burger that came with zombie hot sauce and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really like the small touches they do here as well, like the clip board menus and chopping board platters. I am a particular fan of the open kitchen as well, with the seating areas surrounding it looking in.
While I preferred the burger quality in burger liquor the eating experience at grill meats beer is far superior, from seating arrangements to room layout this is a fantastic restaurant.
Very enjoyable meal. The service was pretty good as well didn't even need to ask for my water to be refilled, once they saw it half empty they filled it up. The food was good although the ribs were to dry for my liking.
Burgers and beer. Beer and burgers. Throw in some ribs and steak and you have this place. Whilst the service was not great as it was busy, the food made somewhat made up for it. The ribs were a bit on the oversaucy side but still enjoyable.
Accomodating staff, we didn't want to sit on the high stools and within ten minutes hey allowed us to sit on normal tables. Good gluten free buns and really good burgers! Best burgers in Wellington! Fish bites and Japanese fried chicken were also really tasty - fresh, hot and crunchy. Delicious.
This is a commentary on the Wellington on a plate burger.
Hands down the best I have tasted this year. Juicy chicken. Fab bacon. Excellent bun. Super tasty salad.
The fries - tossed in hot sauce were out of this world.
Paired with the matching white mischief beer and it's heaven.
Hope this makes the permanent menu. Kids also enjoyed their regular burgers.
We say at the counter and watched the frantic kitchen at work in this buzzy and busy restaurant.
Go. Enjoy.
Great grilled burger, delicious and big dish. The extra mushrooms were very good option. The hand cut fries excellent !!!! The staff very nice and friendly.
Friday night for their Burger Wellington entry. The place was HEAVING but our group had booked(fortunately). 8 Burgers quickly ordered and we were warned that there could be a bit of a wait due to how busy it was. No one was timing but it felt like they were in front of us sooner than predicted(nice!). Resounding positive comments about the burger and chunky fries, managed to also squeeze in the ice cream dessert as well. Service was friendly and efficient, would happily go back to check out the rest of the menu
We had a booking for a group of 8 but still
Had to wait an hour for a table. We were there with a great group of people so just had a drink at the bar (which was very crowded) once seated the food was really yummy which made up for the wait. Might try again another day when we don't mind waiting. The Japanese chicken was to die for.
Just had dinner here for the second night and it is an awesome place. Great service, fantastic food but the atmosphere is what makes it special - watching the chefs prepare the food and work like a well oiled machine under pressure while taking the time to talk to patrons is fantastic. Ā Well done to all but especially Kayden. Cheers from the Aussies. Xx
We came here on Thursday 9th July and wow it was amazing. Great atmosphere and even better service. The staff made sure that we were looked after even with a full house. I ordered a homemade lemonade which was delish and my partner got a Panhead craft beer which he absolutely loved. We were seated at the bar for maybe 10min then were seated and the excellent service continued. I didn't realise how long we were waiting but the staff made sure to let us know how far away our meals were. We ordered the fried chicken mmmmmm and for mains we ordered the ribs and my partner ordered the devils advocate. Both meals were amazing and we will definitely be back. Thanks to the wonderful staff u guys made the wait well worth it.
Came here for the first time on a busy Saturday night for dinner and a wine. We were seated at the bar in front of the chefs. I loved the atmosphere and the layout of the place. It was cool to watch the chefs make the food and plate up the burgers which looked amazing. I'm not a vegetarian but I went for a vegetarian dish that was a mushroom double down with halloumi. The staff were super friendly, helpful and engaging in their conversations. Our drinks came out super fast and the place was buzzing nicely. Our food was super quick considering how many people were in the restaurant. The food was amazing, I was so satasfied with my choice and the combination of ingredients went so well together. The chips were cooked to perfection and there was a yum onion bhaji type thing that was served with it. I definitely will be returning and recommending this place to others! 10/10
Had the fried chicken, and the devils advocate. And my goodness it was the best. Devils advocate came with chilli fries and with high expectations of fiery spice. Although it's wasn't that spicy with the jalapeƱos, habanero May and the ghost chilli sauce, it really did hit the spot. We had to share the burger as they were reasonably big.
Our waitress was amazing, she was always attentive and fully engaged in the work and passionate about the food. Great to make small chit chat with such an enthusiastic person
Awesome place to eat. We went as a big group and they were so accommodating super friendly staff and the food was amazing. It is certainly a place to visit when you are in Wellington

Burgers are amazing at a reasonable price. Service is awesome. I like the way the wait staff treat the newbie customers. They were very helpful.
Under $100 for 2 people full meals with drinks on valentines day.
Pretty top notch by my standard.
Service was amazing.
Great range of craft beers to go with the moving trend.
Dined here over the new year and they definitely deserve the title of kickass burgers, some of the best eating around. Located close to several other good dine in and take outs, if you're on holiday this is a quality area to visit and eat in
Came in on a busy friday evening with a group of six of us, they managed to fit us in after a 20min wait (which was absolutely ok) food was well worth the wait, great atmosphere and friendly staff, our waitress a canadian lady refered us to a nice "cocktail bar" down the road we got quiet excited about it and started our night off at this particular bar, got their and realised it was a gay bar! Maybe she thought us group of 6 ladies had something goin on i dont know whatever her intentions where, however we did have a laugh and the cocktails were indeed delish.
Had the GMB ABC chicken burger which came with shoestring fries. Was very delicious. Would definitely eat again and recommend! Great atmosphere and set up.
We finally got a table!!! And we were given the best table in the house as well. It was a booth big enough for the kids to lounge in as we happily waited for our food.
We wanted a light dinner... Wrong place to go ????
Everything went down a treat! We had the Japanese Fried chicken, the Beef Short Rib, Beef Brisket, sourdough bread and Corn as sides. And because of our boy, we ordered chips as well.
The experience would've been really good had the waitress not forget our desserts!!! To be fair, she did run to our table and say she forgot about them. It didn't take long though for the desserts to come though.
I shall return to try the burgers and sticky ribs... Oh I shall.
Great place for lunch.Ā We walked in off the street at 12 when the doors opened and got a table by the window. Our waitress was pleasant, and warned us that the Chicken Burger would take a while to ensure it was cooked properly.Ā My daughter had the Chicken Burger and enjoyed it.Ā I ordered the Pulled Pork Sloppy Joe from the Blackboard menu. It was delicious, including the Apple & Fennel Slaw.Ā Very drippy, though (reason why it was called a Sloppy Joe). I added a glass of Emerson's Pilsner which went very well with the meal.Ā Price very acceptable for lunch.Ā Not so sure about the T-shirts the staff were wearing, which had this written across the back: "My favourite animal is MEAT"!
I was very pleased to try out this newish place, having read about it a few months ago.Ā Not living in Wellington, this was my first opportunity.Ā The ambiance of the place is stylish casual - not a lot to look at so if you aren't into talking heaps it would help to sit near the window.
I've dined here several times now and I'm yet to be disappointed! It's usually fairly full on a weekend so get in early if you don't want to wait, but they've got a great bar to grab a drink and some 'beerginnings' while you're waiting for your table. (Try the Japanese fried chicken OMG). The food is awesome, both times we've had the beef brisket which is a must, and last time they had a new burger with a really long name, shortened to Bull and Pig I think which is out of this world with bacon aioli - YUM. Ā
What a great addition to Cuba St, the service is totally on par with the food, and the service staff and chefs are always up for a good chat. Try and sit up at the kitchen for the full experience!
One of my favourite places in Wellington at the moment! It's fresh and funky, always packed and lively. The staff are super friendly and recommend their true favourites. I never feel like they are trying to oversell me stuff. The food isĀ yum, and it's really cool to see it come together while havingĀ chat to the chefs from the open kitchen. Ā I am not a beer drinker, but they have lots of wines for sale by the glass, which is cool.Ā I have taken lots of people there and, even though I sometimes have to wait a bit for a table, the bar snacks are awesome and the experience a 10.Ā I recommend ordering the bavette. I had it the last time and it's a surprisingly good piece of meat for a very reasonable $14.50!
First time out to GRILL MEATS BEER and was taken back by the level of service and commitment by the staff to deliver an overall experience second to none. Not from Wellington and with a particular palate i was some what apprehensive about heading out to eat.. I cannot thank the team there enough. i had the steak meal with potato and kumera salad and with hand on my heart say it was the best steak meal i have had in my life and look forward to eating there again!Ā
WELL DONE TEAM HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!!! 10/10 :D
Three occasions now I have visited Grill Meats Beer and every time it has been absolutely outstanding. The prices are great for what you get and the service perfect. It really shows the Logan Brown name which is behind it. Great quality produce cooked well and served at a lesser price than LB. A great idea. I shall be returning more and more. Thank you.
Today was my second visit to Grill Meats Beer, and both times i have thoroughly enjoyed the experience, The decor is streamline and funky, the staff are efficient and attentive with out being in your face, but the reason to visit is the food! my partner and i shared JFC and the pop corn fish both were great and a really good portion size, for a main i had the chicken burger when i first saw it i thought it looked a bit small but it was so filling and tasted out of this world! my partner had a steak with cafe DE Pari butter which he really enjoyed. We will defiantly be going back again!

I have visited Grill Meats Beer about 5 times now (introducing new people to the place each time!) and have made my way around all the mains bar the bavette steak (which a friend's father has had and raved about it).
Needless to say, I love the place! Atmosphere is great, huge selection of boutique beers and the food is to die for. The prices look pricey but to be honest, my bill has never been more than $70 per head including beers and I have been well satisfied each time (and this comes from someone who ate a 1kg burrito the other day!).
Life tip: always order the JFC (Japanese Fried Chicken). The Popcorn Fish and the Spanish meatballs are also favourites and the Smoked Kingfish Croquette specials we had one time were absolutely amazing.
In regards to the mains, the rib-eye steak looks as good as it tastes. Ribs are meaty and tasty but probably not something you should order on a first date (although if you are a guy & the girl orders ribs, she's a keeper!).
The beef burger is absolutely amazing and the patty is cooked medium-rare which gives it so much flavour. Tip: add bacon and an egg to complete the burger.
If you think the beef burger is good, then you will reach food heaven if you order the chicken burger. Words are not enough to describe it. Just try it. You won't be disappointed. I had this burger before the Hurricanes v Blues game in the weekend and I was able to ease the pain of the loss by thinking back to the chicken burger I had earlier that night.
Burgers now come with fries for no extra cost which is good to see as no burger is complete without fries!
I'm a sucker for a chocolate sundae and the malt sundae dessert is just perfect with its salted caramel sauce. Highly recommended.
Have heard people have issues with table wait times (suspect wait times were greater during the first few weeks of opening), but I have never had to wait more than 20 mins. Last Saturday, even though the place was pumping, my mate and I were in and out in just over an hour.
I'm really surprised to read these bad reviews! I went with some girlfriends the other night and we had a great night. Lively atmosphere, lovely service and a some cheeky wines made for a fun night. We shared the popcorn fish(yum), the JFC (double yum) the meatballs and the brisket to start and they were all great. The only one I didn't love was the venison salami but I think that was because i was expecting more of a oily type than a jerky style salami so not a biggie.
My chicken burger was superb- super juicy and i loved the addition of the onion knots. Others at the table tried out the ribs with different sauces which were great - would definitely go back and get those next time. With the addition of shared salads and fries most people were pretty stuffed.
Being a piggie I had dessert - Black Doris Eton Mess- amazing!!! Keep. Thinking. About. It.
Overall I thought it was pretty good value - a restaurant main for under $25 in Wellington is a bargain. I'll be back . Well done GMB!
I've now been to Grill Meats Beer a handful of times and can honestly say I have absolutely nothing to complain about!!! Fantastic, friendly and helpful staff who are attentive and energetic. Food is fresh and tasty and has definitely left me coming back for more. The beef burger patty is SO delicious and the popcorn fish is just SO good...as well as everything else I have tried everything is just so yum. Not being a beer drinker, they still have a great selection of wine and champagne which made my experience even better. Fabulous service, delicious food and a fun, relaxed atmosphere has made Grill Meats Beer one of my new favourites. See you again soon!
Congratulations, what a great place. Fantastic atmosphere and character. The staff are welcoming, friendly and attentive with really genuine smiles. As soon as you walk in you get the feeling the party is just starting. As you would expect, the food is tasty, delicious and well presented. It really wakes up the taste buds. Some of the tap beers change on a regular basis so you can try out new ones. Great place for first date, 50th anniversary, grandma's birthday or hang out with some friends. Grill Meats Beer is not Logan Brown lite, it is its own place with its own character. And I will be going back again and again. I do like the T shirts.
I have been to Grill Meats Beer twice now, the concept of the place itself is cool as sh*t. The atmosphere is upbeat and this hang out seems to appear equally to both young and older folk, individuals, couples and families. The staff were extremely welcoming and onto it, our orders were delivered promptly and our glasses never empty. I love that the kitchen is in view of its customers and the ladies look slick for service with their red pouts to brighten a casual but clean uniform. The JFC was recommended to me by a friend and did not disappoint. The burgers have delicious large steaks of succulent meat and I was impressed to hear it was the only joint in town to mince their own beef burgers every day! I had a simple sundae for dessert , but I drooled for more. I thoroughly enjoyed my couple of experiences at GMB and will be back for more and smash through that beer list! A great place to drink and dine for all ages and occasions!
We had dinner yesterday, great concept! we love the ambiance and the food was exceptional, we choose the Bavettes which were cooked to perfection and well presented on a wooden board dish. Very good price value too, just under $20. The service was very attentive despite the place being very busy but felt like a relaxed and funky atmosphere. I am sure David Burton, from the Dom Post food critic will confirm all the above as I saw him enjoying his dinner couple of tables away from us... Will definitely return, and recommend to all my friends and colleagues!
We went here for Sunday lunch & were really impressed. The staff were lovely & the kids liked the colouring in pencils & activity sheet provided.
We tried about 2/3 of the menu & loved the food. Our 4yr old loved it so much that he asked if we could go back for dinner that night too.
I would definitely recommend the JFC chicken bites & the salmon was amazing!!
Definitely going back there soon :)
I'm a sucker for beer, and I like food almost as much. While I wouldn't consider myself a connoisseur of ribs as such, I have consumed a fair amount of ribs around the traps, and Grill's are about as good as they get. If I had to choose which is better I'd go for the hoppy, sweet one.
Burgers are simple things, but often the simplest things are the hardest to get right. At Grill they grind their own meat daily, which I'd like to think most establishments do (probs don't though). The whole package was great - succulent pattie, cheese, ketchup, all in a bun I can hold and eat without a knife and fork. Chin wipeingly good.
The beer list is great, particularly the Garage Project VPA. I'll be back for more.
Be early, or be late, otherwise expect a wait.
i have eaten here twice, and enjoyed the experience. Food exactly as I wanted it and good service. Both times I sat at the bar observing the kitchen.
My only criticism would be the non- availability of the bottle of wine I selected on my second visit.
Great addition to the Wellington food scene. Hopefully it will open 7 nights.
I ate here for my birthday last week and can happily say that I wasnt disappointed in the slightest. The hardest part of the night was picking what I wanted to eat as everything on the menu sounded absolutely enticing. I had the JFC as a starter and ribs as the main and was competely blown away with both.
Grill Meats Beer have an extensive list of craft beers to choose from, along with some alternatives if your not a beer drinker.
The atmosphere is great and the service was fantastic, the staff did anything and everything to make sure we had all we needed and we weren't ignored at all even on a very busy night.
Since then ive been back a couple of times and will definitely make sure I go back on a regular basis.

I loved this place and have been back twice now in it's opening week. I can't understand the other reviews getting upset at it not having any steak when it doesn't claim anywhere to be a steakhouse! It had a grill, it had meat and it had beer - in my book, it did exactly what it said on the tin and you can't fault them for that. We have now tried most of the nibbly, small plate, entree things - the stand outs being the beef brisket, the popcorn fish and the JFC. I've had the chicken burger on both occasions for a main and added cheese and they've both been 2 of the best burgers I've ever had, and good burgers are hard to find, particularly in Wellington. On my second trip there they had sold out of the brioche buns and were using an alternative which I actually preferred - maybe there could be a choice in future? Their onion knots are my new addiction, and on both nights I've squeezed in the chocolate sundae dessert and not been disappointed. The atmosphere is upbeat and funky - in my opinion the lights could be dimmer and the music louder but that could just be personal preference. The service to date has been so warm and welcoming, delivered by staff who seem to genuinely love their new jobs. I'm enjoying this new addition to Cuba Street and look forward to visit number 3.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
The layout and seating was comfortable and enjoyable
We shared the food which was all fantastic, and came out hot and quickly; they even cut the burger for us knowing we were sharing
The beer selection/ tasting paddle was just what we needed to wash it all down
Great food, service, location....
We'll be back.

This place was a perfect reminder of good, home-cooked meals back in the States. Everyone at the entire table, the two different times I went there, absolutely devoured their food. Considering my small, college-student budget, the food was slightly pricey, except for the $6 fried pickles, but it was worth every single dollar. This food will certainly fill your stomach and leave you feeling like you made the right choice by eating there. If you are a fan of a little spice in your life, I completely recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. Then again, I am fairly confident that everything on their menu is absolutely delicious. After eating there my first time, I vowed to take all my friends there again, and I did and ordered the same tantalizing meal. Also, if you are a fan of trying different brews, they change their draft menu frequently, so you can try different beers and ciders from around New Zealand depending on when you happen to go.
Aside from the food, the service was exceptional; the two waiters I had, one of them on their very first night, were knowledgeable of the menu and offered suggestions as to what to order. The restaurant as a whole was very aesthetically pleasing and a great environment to enjoy a tasty meal with friends.
Great place for beer and food. Steak was seared just right and the sauce complemented the meat perfectly. The burger was spicy and the poutine was layered with gravy and cheese curds. The ambience was cosy and service was attentive. Seating was amble and kid friendly as well.
We had a lovely meal at Grill Meats Beer recently. Thereās a great vibe at Grill with an upbeat 80s-90s soundtrack and an open kitchen so you can watch all the action. We were advised the buffalo chicken nibbles were very spicy and were delighted that they delivered such a kick. I had medium rare Angus pure sirloin steak with Bearnaise sauce, shittake mushrooms and merlot jus with a side order of curly fries. Great flavours but a lot of gristle in the meat. Service was very good and thereās also an extensive craft beer menu.
Hands down one of the best tasting steaks Iāve had in ages. Really nice mushrooms and croquettes on a hot mustard to accompany it. My wifeās burger was ok, but glad I got the steak. Kids meals were pretty good, and had stuff to occupy the kids. Desert was average, sticky date pudding. But I guess you donāt come here for the desert. Nice range of beers,and enjoyed the IPA we were recommended. Weāll definitely be back.
Great food, super service. The place is so warm and inviting. I was treated really well and made to feel special. Loved the music that was playing, some great classics. Made the lunchtime better. Recommendation about the meal and drink was spot on.
I will be back again.
Great work guys
Was there after years again. Was during Cupa Dupa festival. The portions were smaller and prices up. Maybe because of the festival. The food we had was good to great. The beer cocktails I would better not have tried.
Service was good and the menu options interesting, although the fusion dishes were not as impressive as hoped. Impressive range of unique draft beers were available.
The experience here was pretty good, and while I don't have any complaints, I just feel the burger I ate sort of lacked anything special. Chips were excellent, service was wonderful, everything was top notch.
This was one of the more popular dining places on the street. Good variety of beer and burgers. Their spicy fries were really spicy and delicious. Didn't think much of the sticky ribs but burgers were good.
Grill meets beer. That's all you really need to know. Exceptional grill, exceptional beer. Service can be slow but boy is the food worth it. I always go for a burger, without hesitation. The wallpaper in the bathrooms will be oddly familiar with the wax paper on your plate. It's a nice touch. P.S If you ever want to leave a restaurant in a sugar coma, try their chocolate fudge sundae. It's to die for

Music is a wonderful thing to accompany a meal and tonight we had a 90s mix that made it a great mini singalong.
The bad part of the evening wasn't so much bad but it was a weird robotic service.
Its like the person just learnt how to do the basics of service and was piecing it together.
Wellington has a great reputation for service and this was a reminder that everyone starts somewhere. One of the things that I'm reminded of in these times is how we can sometimes concentrate on the system that we forget to add our personality.
The food was good.
The hot Chicken burger, Venison ribs with poutine.
We couldn't finish either dish, they were a good size.
The chilli fries with the burger had a bit too much oil which spoilt the full experience of the burger dish. The hot chicken burger had that rare crispy outside with moist inside. Seriously this is a hard to get combo.
The ribs came with that strong American style smokey sauce. Its like an American came to NZ and fell in love with our Tegal chicken and South Island Venison.
They even Americanised the Poutine by adding curly fries.
If you're in for a man meal of burger ribs and fries with an American flavor then you'll best be booking a table.
Been here four times, great food, service, excellent beers on tap!
Two years later, still unbeaten - nothing in Akl comes close.
Great burger
Make sure you order your beef patty the way you like it.or it will come rear/blue.
I know I should have gone for a burger but since I just had one last night elsewhere, I went with the fried fish bites starter which was well worth it too. Open door kitchen atmosphere that feels more like a burger-only joint despite the fact theyre part of the Craft Beer Capital Trail.
Best burger I've had in forever. And the fries too. Didn't want the taste adventure to end š
Food was good, but we are waiting 40 minutes for our orders
These guys know how to do meat.
Super friendly service and warm ambience.
