This place is known for their ribs and steak. It was bustling and difficult to get seating, but…read moresince I was solo, I got a spot at the bar. The interior was rustic, spacious, with a warm and comforting ambiance. I wanted to try a little of everything, so ordered the Flame Mixed Grill ($67 NZ), which consisted of famous Ribs, grilled Sirloin Steak, Boerewors Sausage, rotisserie Peri Peri Chicken, along with roasted baby potatoes with sour cream. This took awhile to come out, but it was worth it! Ribs were sticky in a bold, smoky, tangy, savory BBQ sauce. The meat was delightfully tender. Steak was cooked perfectly, succulent, and well seasoned. Sausage was slightly charred and quite juicy, paired wonderfully with flavorful chimichurri. Chicken was not really my favorite, as I found it lacked flavor and was a bit dry. Potatoes were soft and pillowy that worked nicely with the creamy sour cream, but only 3 small ones. Service was solid. The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was tasty and it was a lovely, hearty feast of a dinner!

We started with the liver parfait and we definitely recommend that. Also had the bone marrow, but there was almost no bone marrow to speak of. Even if there was, it is covered in a green onion relish that masks any bone marrow flavor that would've been there. The lamb chops were very good, but we have had better in New Zealand. The scotch cut Wagyu was again just OK. We had three sides, mashed potatoes, cream, spinach, and scorched carrots. Of those three I would only order the scorch carrots again. For the prices, we were pretty disappointed. Maybe it's because I know what good steak is in Texas.

We didn't care if it looked fancy, it was raining at the time and we was hungry after walking the park after. But this time on our honeymoon 2018, we came back here for one reason. I only came back here because of the Wagyu Burger, which in my opinion is better than Ferg Burger. The meat is rarely made here I bet it's difficult, but with New Zealand to have good beef, I wouldn't be surprised since the land is vast and consists of farmlands everywhere you go. The views on the waterfront is perfect on bright sunny days and if you're hungry you won't leave not unhungry. It's great for people watching and lake view. It makes your meal so much better. The service is great, it's fine dining to me in my opinion. They serve wine, they serve burgers, if you want a lighter lunch you can have that too. I only came back for their Wagyu Burger. Just a plane ride 10hrs from Hawaii. Not that far for a Burger lol. Try it, you might like it.

The tables on the sidewalk were full of drinkers so perhaps this is more of a bar spot. Every restaurant in town had hiring signs so do not know if staffing was a factor.

So we asked different local people what they recommend, so after we purchased the first pizza, it looked like an individual size, so we bought another from the second choice and that was not much bigger. We remembered as we were walking through Queenstown that there was another shop handing out samples and it said "Largest Pizza in Queenstown", that was a go for us were quantity was most important, so we got a 3rd pizza from 3 different pizza restaurants. Ended up, all 6 of us preferred the Fat Badgers the most! Half Fat Badger, Half Arnold Schwarzenegger was a very tasty pizza and good size. Was loaded with lots of ingredients and very generous. I would recommend this pizza restaurant over the other "popular" pizza restaurants
