When first walking in the doors I felt welcomed and was greeted with short chit-chat and banter. I was warned of a long wait on lunch service and I greatly appreciated the warning, I could easily fill the time reading in the open garden bar/garage sale/ swap meet area, you will understand the vibe if you ever stop in. Steak cooked exactly how I wanted (raw) and well priced.
Awesome food and friendly service. Always stop here when out riding.
Funky little place run by some petrolhead beauty's! From classic cars and dirty 4wds to motorbikes, hot food drinks and sometimes some live entertainment. This place is somewhere you should put on ya list of must dos. Aside from the car events each month , the phenomenol good and friendly staff. The place on its own is just worth a look. Full of history, memorabilia and bar branded clothing. Bring a spare note to spend cause if you don't... you'll sure wish you did.
Amazing place! Lots of antique items, good food and cozy fireplace. My friends and I rode from Auckland on a sunny day and it was totally worth it.
The old Parakao store, cafe and bar is something worth visiting. Heaps of local history being the old garage with plenty of memorabilia to view. Great bar and food choices and very friendly staff. A destination for many enthusiasts. If you are lucky there may even be a band playing. If you are in this neck of the woods you must stop and take it all in.
The best place hands down.
Food is no fuss, you get what it says on the menu every time, tastes amazing.
Great place for young and old.

Awesome wee watering hole stop for us bikers doing a wee trip around the north
This place is awesome! I live in Whangarei but would happily make a trip out just to dine here again. We had a group of 9 and the food came out in a timely manner and everything and everyone’s meals were cooked to perfection. Pricing was great for the food you got, I’ll say that I haven’t yet found a burger in Whangarei better than theirs. Thanks team for the awesome experience!
Food is awesome, atmosphere is great, staff are lovely. We come here at least once a year.
Rode out there on the motorbikes for a pint and a burger. Lovely people and place
Lovely friendly staff & yummy food. Lots of curiosities to look at.
Great burgers and chips, Great people, Awesome atmosphere 👌
Called in to try their burgers. BLOODY AWESOME. Atmosphere of the Store,Cafe was laid back with just a handful of friendly locals, staff were most welcoming, decor ind vibe really works in this place, loads of memorabilia objects adorn the walls. I will definitely be heading back with a friend for a sit down meal, good music and great company.
