I stayed at the collocated hotel and ate here a few years ago. While doing so, I had the best lamb…read moreI've ever had. So when I came back to Fox Glacier, I had to come back and have some more of that delicious lamb. Bottom line? They came through again. We each ordered the lamb shank. You can get either one or two; I got one and found it to be enough. The lamb came on the bone with some vegetables on the side. The lamb came with a savory sauce that had a touch of mint. The meat was very tender and practically fell off the bone. Once again, it was truly excellent. We ordered dessert and got the walnut brownies with a scoop of ice cream. They were quite good. Other than that, the service was great - I thought they were pretty fast in getting the food out. In the end, this place is great, and I'd absolutely recommend eating here. As for the lamb, it's still the best I've ever had.

We walked thoughts bar side with a lot of people and a commotion going on. We found out it was horse racing. We worked our way to the dining room side where it was not busy and finally someone showed us a table with menus. Our server was very nice but was managing the dining orders plus the bar side. She definitely needed help. We started with shoestring fries and an Apple Cider on tap. I ordered the Beef Cheeks and my husband ordered the Pasta Carbonara as entrees. They were both really good. My beef was so tender that I cleaned my place . I'm glad we hiked today.

Servers were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient; food came quickly, and the place had a great, social vibe. There's a lively pool table in the bar area. You know it's good when the classy locals hang at the bar (as opposed to the local who's drunk at 1:00pm on a Monday and hitting on the waitress...which we witnessed at another place in Fox). My wife loved that the whole place was warm. Good, free WiFi. And delicious dessert!!

We tried the bait fish omelette appetizer. It was amazing with the mayo sauce on it. Actually not so great without it. For our mains, we had the bangers and mash and the pork ribs. I would recommend the bangers and mash, but not the pork ribs. They were dried out, overly drenched in sauce on a bed of french fries. The french fries were fine, but not my favorite type and became soggy quickly with all the barbecue sauce. I definitely would not order the ribs again. For dessert we had the sticky pudding and it was excellent. A good variety of wine and beer choices. We recommend the Alice May export gold beer and the Villa Maria Pinot Noir.

We had the pan roasted chicken breast and the bangers and mash. The chicken breast was really, really dry and tough. I loved the abundance of accompanying vegetables though. Taste was average.

That stuff--I think I mixed in a little garlic aioli or something--was phenomenal. I'd eat that by itself. So so so good. I also had a spieghts beer -- forget which one -- and it was pretty bad. This is coming from someone who can drink (and like) just about any beer. Maybe this batch was off or just older? I dunno. Just not my favorite whereas I loved their Old Dark. Anyway, it's a fine place to stop for a meal. Everyone was super friendly.

Who in their right mind unlocks a toilet when it's in use? I shouted that someone's inside but to no avail. My husband confronted the male staff later but all he said was that there is nothing he could do about it when another customer wants to use it. Wtf?! How does this even make logical sense? Ever heard about WAITING? I was barely in the toilet for 2-3 mins before having such a rude shock. Zero apology from the entitled customer, zero apology from the male staff working at the morning - noon shift today. This is NOT how you treat your customers especially after such an ignorant and grave mistake. If you're thinking of bringing your daughter, girlfriend or wife here or you're one yourself, I suggest you avoid this UNETHICAL trash bag of a place and support other local cafes in the area instead. I'll give this place 0 stars if I could.
