Miss Moonshine's drinks menu fits on one page but still a manages to be extensive. Whether you're looking for a cocktail, mojito, craft or light beer, wine, cider or non alcoholic it's there. I chose a nice prosecco and Ryan had the Fizzy Rascal which I got to taste. Nice but not my thing. His next choice however, the Jammy B*stard I could get to like! The menu is a meat lovers dream and has all the trimmings of a trip to southern America. Shrimp, buttermilk, corn, avocado, rice and beans are words you'll find among the tasty viddles (Yes Granny Clampett would be a might happy here) among the starters and sides. The main dish is always meat. Of course it is and lots of it. Ryan had the pulled pork which was sensational but small - but that was clear on the menu as the weight of each cut is marked. My pork hock was more substantial so I shared some with the poor boy. The hock was both moist inside and crispy outside. Our side dish was a refreshing apple slaw. Desert options were Orleans Donuts, Chocolate Chilli Mousse or Lemon Meringue Pie. Ryan chose the pie much to my delight and I cheated the Paleo diet to try a spoonful. Or two. We went on their first night and there wasn't a sign of any teething trouble. Professional from day one... Nice. Miss Moonshine. Welcome to the 'hood!

We went all in and ordered the pit boss ($45pp), which includes family style entrees, mains and dessert. The set menu changes daily but our entrées were cornbread (crunchy, soft, buttery goodness - a must order), fried chicken with guacamole (a strange combination in my mind but delicious nonetheless) and their magic mushrooms w chickpeas & blue cheese (take it or leave it). Then came the mains... a smorgasboard of slow-cooked, tender-as-it-gets barbecued meat. I'm talking brisket, pulled pork, beef short rib....heaven! Especially when combined with a killer slaw, cauliflower cheese w a truffle crumb and their very own smoked bone sauce. Dessert was a beautiful platter with lemon meringue pie, chilli chocolate mousse and beignets (doughnuts) with salted caramel sauce. Sharing dessert was a little more awkward but I'm not a sweet tooth so I loved that I was able to try all three without having to have a whole dessert. My only criticism? The salted caramel was suuuuuuuuuper salty. A couple of comments were made around the table about the size of the portions but I think $45 for three courses is unreal value considering the quality of the food! It's also a brilliant option for bigger groups, which Miss Moonshines caters for really well. I think this may just be the most excited I've been about a restaurant all year - partly because I LOVE the Southern States but mostly because these guys have nailed it, from the red lipstick wearing waitresses to the moonshine served paper bags. I'm looking forward to my next visit already...

This takeaway is just up the road from me but I hardly ever go there. I got fish and chips here…read morewhen I first moved into the area and I found it disappointing. If you are out this way, you are better off going to the Blue Lagoon on Roberts Road if you want fish and chips. I tried their Chinese food as well and again I was non-plussed - what I ate was quite greasy and I did not enjoy it. We're not exactly spoiled for choice for eateries in Te Atatu South but I usually venture further afield (eg to Lincoln Road) if I want takeaway on the weekend. Having said that, I went in and got a portion of hot chips not so long ago and I must say they were quite good. We could do with a good takeaway in the area but until that comes along we have to make do with this joint.

They're food is delicious, my favourite are their chicken chow mein and bami goreang, and they have the best hot chips. The food comes out really quickly and it's always hot, and they'll cater it to your own specifications. The only thing is that they are a tad bit expensive for a take away shop, and they've put their prices up a few times too. They can get pretty busy because they are quite popular in the area, but they've got enough seats, a TV and heaps of magazines to read while you wait for your order.

Very busy on this Thursday night! We were asked if we had a reservation (no) but were seated…read more Shortly after we sat, 6 additional tables came in (several with reservations). Several times, even though there were a few tables open, arriving patrons, turned around and left (not sure what they were told). Anyway, with so many tables arriving at once we figured get comfy and be patient! After 20 minutes or so the waitress came over and took our orders - It was very loud & she had to ask/ repeat several times but very nice etc. The food started to arrive about 25 minutes after ordering, one dish at a time. By the time the last dish arrived the 1st person who had received their food first was close to being done (& eating slowly due to waiting). There were other tables that arrived after us that food was delivered (looked like partial orders at first as well) so obviously either shorthanded or inexperienced in the kitchen or maybe short supplies/food etc. So.. the great news is the food was/is delicious!! Really good actually. Our group had ordered 3 Pad Thai...all three delicious but by the time the 3rd arrived, no side veggies etc. Regardless, still delicious... just obviously in the weeds and trying to get through the night!

Despite being fairly empty when we arrived we were asked if we had a reservation. We didn't but we got the last table it seems as they were actually booked out for later as a steady stream of people following us sadly found out. The staff were very friendly and attentive and drinks were ordered from the well priced wine list. Eight bucks for a piccolo of Lindauer Brut ain't bad! Yes I drink Lindauer Brut - it's won awards. We chose from the quaintly mis-spelled selections on a fairly brief but impressive looking menu. To start was a tasty chicken satay and deep fried tender pork belly. Both were great. I don't ever recall seeing slow cooked brisket in a curry before so we ordered it and it was superb! In fact it was a go back for. The brisket was meltingly tender and served in a fragrant light green curry. Ryan had sides of rice and roti but being Paleo I happily tucked in to the dish as it was, the curry sauce serving as a welcome soup in my bowl. We complimented the dish with wok fried Asian greens; tasty and perfectly cooked. As we were finishing the place was filling up. Lots of groups and booked in and it's easy to see why. We'll be back with our own group... best we book it seems.
