Pub in Silverdale

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Outstanding Experience — Joe’s Garage Has Our Hearts! We first discovered Joe’s Garage in Queenstown and instantly fell in love — the food, the layout, the vibe… everything was perfect. But the real star for us was the pancakes, which our daughter adored. For a whole year she talked about them and couldn’t wait to go back as we were from Auckland. So when we found out there was a Joe’s Garage in Silverdale, we were thrilled — even though we live all the way in Henderson, we were more than happy to make the trip. We finally arrived, excited and ready… only to learn that the famous pancakes are only served before 5pm, and we had arrived at 6:30pm. Our daughter was devastated, and honestly, so were we. But this is where the magic happened. Our wonderful server Tyra (who was also managing that evening) could see how much it meant to our daughter. We politely asked if there was any chance the chef might be able to make an exception. Instead of giving us a flat no, Tyra said, “Let me see what I can do.” She went to speak with the kitchen team, and came back with the most heartwarming news — their chef Hunter was willing to make a fresh batch of pancakes from scratch, just for our daughter. We were genuinely moved. This wasn’t standard service — this was above and beyond. Tyra’s kindness, and Hunter’s willingness to go out of his way, created a moment our family will never forget. Because of this experience, Joe’s Garage will forever have a special place in our hearts. Wherever we see a Joe’s Garage in the world, we’ll be loyal supporters — and our daughter will too. A massive thank you to Tyra (server & manager) and Hunter (chef) for turning a sad moment into such a beautiful memory. You made our daughter’s day, and ours. ❤️ Ray from Henderson”

“Exceptionally fast service and sensational food. Great atmosphere with fantastic music. Highly recommend pairing the $25 lunch special with one of their delicious Frida’s Margaritas. Use the Love Mexico app to redeem free totopos with your meal.”

“Good place to watch the rugby. Food is generally good but not amazing. Jalapeno poppers are great. Service is average, most of the time I had to call someone to serve us.”

“Great food, fast and friendly first. Love the concept and the fact that it supports our local rugby club.”

“Great food. Outstanding service. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Auckland. Welldone guys”

“Enjoy so much on Saturday lunch, staff are friendly and helpful, kids menu available. The moonshine sausage is nice, beef bresket is soft Buffalo wings is mild hot just right. Enjoyable seating environment.”

“Really lovely club. Sheltered outdoor seating, beautiful native park like gardens.”

“Have been to a few live music events here. Great atmosphere and staff are friendly. Lots of options re beverages and meals. The mural wall is a highlight and always enjoy our time”

“I had my 90th birthday at the Wade, and it couldn't have been better. The staff were so kind and attentive, especially our host Tye who was excellent. He really made the experience special. The surprise birthday desert was such a treat, very unexpected and most appreciated. My family and I would highly recommend having any event at the Wade.”
