After hearing the team behind Logan Brown had opened another establishment in Wellington, I had to…read moretry it during my visit. In short, I'm giving this a mid-range review because of the service, and because the food was only okay. A bustling Saturday evening, and having only opened recently could be the reason for the not so good service, but I would've thought a month was enough time to iron out the kinks. Initially told the wait would be 45mins for a table of 6, we ended up waiting nearly 1 hour 45 minutes. Normally, I would've left to dine at another establishment, but as I mentioned above, I was very keen to try the food. After checking with the hostess a couple of times (after the initial 45 minute wait), she tried her best to be accommodating by taking our food orders early so they would be ready when we finally sat down. Unfortunately, the food wasn't worth the wait: Ribs with hoisin-lime sauce fell away from the bone as if they'd been paid good attention to, but they were a little dry. Japanese fried chicken- good salt and pepper taste, with slightly soggy coating. Chicken was nice and tender. Bavette steak- nice flame grill char, cooked very well. Fennel Apple slaw- nice, but a little bland. To summarise, the price of food here is great if you're looking to order small plates to share, I don't think the portions of the mains were suited to their higher prices. The food here is decent, but if I had to wait a long time again, I wouldn't think twice about finding somewhere else to dine. As I said above, my experience could be a one off, which is why I've given three stars and not less. In a city with amazing dining options, grill meats beer will need to pick up their game if they are in it for the long haul.i

It's great that there is a place to get good ribs in town and beer! It was very exciting to come…read morehere. The place has a really nice, modern, casual, laid back ambiance. I came here specifically to have ribs, and I was not disappointed. I had the hoisin sauce, which was sticky and salty, and really good. I also had the onion knots on the side which I've never had anything quite like it. They're like curry flavored battered onions. The one thing I wish I had was some hot sauce for those ribs. Would come back here again, and also recommend for others to try.

I thought I would check it out. l took the bus out there, and it was a very comfortable and scenic ride. The restaurant is located in an area of Wellington known as the Lower Hutt, and located along the main strip. There are lots of little boutique shops and ethic restaurants. I actually found a cute set of wooden toy trucks and a tea set. Uncle Mike's is owned by an American who is from K.C., and just like Texans and Southerns, the folks from K. C. take their BBQ serious. I had the place to myself. It was very clean and had on display iconic American symbols. I elected to have ribs, beans, and fries. The BBQ is wet style, and it's pretty good. I prefer a dry rub with sauce on the side. Nonetheless, it was worth the trip; the beans were really good. When I go back, I plan to stop in again. Uncle Mike's wife was my hostess, and I enjoyed my conversation with her, and hearing her and Mike's story. I hope I convinced her to come visit the states...overall Lower Hutt is a Good place to eat and shop.

I never thought I'd get down-home Kansas City style BBQ in New Zealand of all places. Smoked, tender, juicy, fall-off-the-bone meat, with a killer sticky, tangy sauce that will make you want to gnaw your fingers off. The bullet is in the smoke, though. Holy crap, that's one helluva smoker they must have in the kitchen because you can taste the applewood right down to the bone. I was gnawing on that bone, I ain't gonna lie. The BBQ is brutally good. It's that good folks. I'm a blue-blooded American girl who loves her Southern BBQ. I prefer Louisiana versus Texas (wet vs. dry), but I think Uncle Mike may have converted me into a Kansas City fanatic. The portions are all-American, so the half rack was more than enough for little ol' me. My Kiwi partner chowed on some brisket bits drenched in sauce in a soft roll that was also damn good. Decent prices for the quality and portion size. Very nice and earnest service from the super-smiley server and his side-kick. We never felt underserved. p.s. We tried the buffalo wings and they were also authentic Buffalo, NY style wings. Spicy, tangy, with a refreshing dill-ranch dip on the side. I wish they had some celery sticks instead of a green salad on the side because that would have been even better and more NY...dipping is key!

Two people had the chicken sandwich which was $22 for 6 slices of half toasted cheap white bread and a very small piece of over battered chicken. Seemed a real rip off.

Unfortunately the sausages were not cooked and we returned them. When they were cooked a second time there was still not cooked properly and so they said they would give us a new serving. Unfortunately the third lot were also not cooked so we decided not to bother. They offered complimentary dessert but we were not interested and also perhaps some other items on the menu. But having seen the way the sausages were cooked or not we decided to eschew that offer and left. As a previous reviewer had noted the poached eggs were like rocks. It was hard and it looks like they had been microwave. I should have ordered scrambled if I wanted them that way.

This was the right amount of spicy for me and I wish I had ordered it as my main -nasi goreng - good amount of meat but not really extraordinary -lamb curry - good, doesn't come with rice but my partner just ate it as is since he's allergic -krakatoa fire bowl - love the fire element to the drink and it was tasty and didn't taste very alcoholic (even though it's made of a lot of liquors) but it's pricey -bartender's choice - THIS is what I would 100% come back for and surprisingly very affordable. I told them that I like whiskey/bourbon and love yuzu citrus (the more citrusy the better) and they made me a drink that tasted amazing! According to my friends, the food has less spice now compared to when they've had it previously. Overall, I would come back here at least for the drinks and the firecracker chicken.
