We held out joint party at Porterhouse Blues in the weekend and had the best night. They were open to decorating the room as we wanted and really helped us to have a really successful party. The food was amazing and many of the guests are still commenting on how delicious it was. It is a great venue with everything we needed. If you're thinking of a venue then we really recommend Porterhouse Blues. Thanks so much guys, it was a great night.

Been here a few times and everytime the food has been great. Love the curly fries with gravy. Usually restaraunts serve them with aioli but the gravy is so much better and unique. Got served within. 5 mins of sitting down. Love coming here. Dont understand the 2.8 rating. Never a bad experience coming here

We chose this place to sit down and have lunch based on the reviews we read on here. Great to know that the reviews were right. We ordered from the brunch menu. Our meals were beautifully cooked and the garlic bread was really yummy too. Awesome friendly service. We plan to go back here for dinner at some stage

Went here for birthday dinner
My meal was mussels and it was beautiful!
There was six of us
Mum ordered a vegetarian meal and it was average
Dad ordered mussels also and loved them
My brother ordered a huge steak but said it came with a salad but it was barley a salad it was tiny and steak was a little undercooked and tough
Brothers wife ordered pork belly it was good
My wife had seafood chowder and she also loved it

So all round pretty good
All deserts where lovely

Bloody hell! This place is heaven on earth.  Massive owners. We had a work function at this place and I was stoked as when the owners come out and had a jam with us (we'd taken our guitars and ukes).  It was a great night.  I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.  Nga mihi nui ki a kotou nga kaimahi me nga ringawera ki tenei whare ataahua.  Y'all rock!

Had a great dinner here tonight. First time dining here, recommended by a couple of work mates. The food was excellent! The best onion rings I've had in a long time! Very well priced, and the wait staff were super friendly. Highly recommended, we will be back for sure!

Hands down, the best restaurant in Upper Hutt.  The staff are always welcoming and accommodating. I highly recommend the pork belly, it is delicious.  In the dozen or so times I have eaten at Porterhouse Blues, with friends, and with family, I have never once had a bad experience.  I love the vibe, the wait staff are fantastic, and the owners are always friendly and sincere.  
Prices are extremely reasonable, and the food is always cooked quickly and perfectly.
Will definitely be returning!

Love the place!! we have been several times and each time the food has been outstanding! the staff are great and very helpful and offer a wonderful menu and their garlic bread is amazing, especially the cheesy garlic bread, I would quite happily just have plates of this for my dinner. We have been midweek and also on weekends and the service never changes it's always great and the waiter always has a smile on his face.

Dined at Porterhouse Blues last night and thoroughly enjoyed. We were greeted upon reliable by friendly staff and felt very welcome. I ordered the Southern Belle and it was delicious. The bacon wrapped around it was cooked to perfection along with the stuffed potatoes and salad with a nice sauce. My mum ordered the Reef and Beef which included a range of seafood accompanied with salad, potato gratin and steak. We had a disappointing experience at the Portlander in Wellington where a slab of steak was $39 and you had to pay for sides on top of that (even salad). Meals were cheaper and had much more to offer. My mum found the meal much better and I was overwhelmed by how good the chicken was. Despite it being moderately busy meals were given out promptly and they had a great team who were polite and friendly.  Definitely worth coming here again, highly recommend.

LOVE this Restaurant/Bar!!!
My partner and I call this place our local because we go at least twice a month, we have taken groups that enjoy the food just as much as we do.
We have never had a bad meal once out of at least 30 times we have been. This place is awesome the staff are supper friendly, fast and efficient. We have been to a lot of places in Wellington that are no where near as nice as Porterhouse, i think they are doing really well for Upper Hutt. Our steak is always cooked to perfection, as well as the rest of the food, they are never stingy with the amount of food they give.
I recommend everyone and anyone to go to Porterhouse and give it a go!!! :)

We won a prize in a raffle giving us $50 voucher. Our food was delicious i had fettucine and my wife had chicken. They were both very delicious and cooked beautifully. Very quiet atmosphere on the night we went. Loved the feel of the place with couch area and kids play area. Very friendly staff.. Hosts were great.

Went here last night and selected the pork spare ribs for entree. There was enough for the two of us and tasted great. They even supplied a finger bowl too. I selected the rump 500gm cooked rare with chips and veg. I have to say when I order rump I expect it to be slightly chewy however this rump was cooked to perfection and has to be the tenderest rump I had the pleasure to eat. Being an ex butcher I have some experience....service was fine. My better half ordered the T-bone and again was cooked just how she likes it. We will definitely be back.

Went back for the second time as my family really did enjoy their meal .the first time i thought it was ok . This time round i can say the food had improved and the steak (beef and reef Special) was exactly what i asked for Medium rear .the pasta of the day was excellent and some of the kids enjoyed the ribs which we brought home to polish off the next day .
This Family run business deserves to succeed and all my family thought the service was excellent .
Instead of going to the cossie with your family you should support this great family restaurant .with good decor and friendly staff and better food
One improvement for my next visit - the steinlager pure could of been colder -hey u cant please every one

Have been to this restaurant a few times and have received excellent service always greeted by the waiter with a big smile and always makes you feel welcome I usually have the schnitzel as it is lovely the salad is always fresh and tasty, service is excellent. If you can't eat all your meal as I can't always I was offered a doggy bag to take it home what a great idea don't always have desert as the meals are very plentiful. The deserts I've had were lovely. I have recommended this restaurant to my friends and have also taken some there myself as it has a very relaxing atmosphere it's a great place to have a chat and catch up with friends. Would recommend to all.

Thanks for the wonderful meals

We went for a meal at Porterhouse Blues on Saturday 22 December. The decor is great and we were greeted nicely and seated by the waiter. My three year old son was given felts and a coloring sheet. We ordered 2 steak meals and a cheeseburger for our son. It was delicious! We were very impressed with the porterhouse steak, best we have ever had, cooked perfectly. Overall a wonderful meal with great service. We will be returning!
