What our customers say...
Ummm, excuse me, but what is this amazing eatery doing so far from me? We are from Texas and although we can't claim fame to many things, we do have BBQ covered. You know who else does? The chef at this shop. Best meal in NZ so far! Thanks.
Stopped in on our way to Queenstown and have zero regrets! Locally roasted coffee that was made bang on. Wow it took us a while to choose what to eat having so many delicious offerings in front of us! We couldn't go past the shops signature offering...the Hoagie. We chose the beef brisket, falafel, egg + bacon options and they all blew our mind!
The hoagie sandwich is legendary and well worth the stop! The slow cooked beef is incredible and this time I had the special, lamb with mint yoghurt sauce… amazing!!! Excellent every time I stop and staff are so friendly. An unexpected delight on the way to Te Anau or Milford.
Awesome little stop with something for everyone to break up a good old Southern trip - ice cream, beverages, locally made gifts, tummy fillers plus the option of a cheeky beer too. Don't pass it by!
