Steak house in Auckland

“Friendly people. Best fresh fish burger I’ve had in years. Super generous size and good price. ( I asked for no tomatoes) hot and crispy goodness”

“First experience and it was amazing, we were able to be sat straight away and the chef was entertaining. Love the monthly special option which we chose and enjoyed being able to add to it. Looking forward to coming back for my next holiday!”

“Very good food, everything was amazing! Love the vibe of the place, perfect for date nights! Loved the eye fillet beef carpaccio! It just melts to your melt like heaven! Mushroom pizza with Blue cheese was excellent too! Loved every bite of it! Highly recommend and will come back to have a date night with my partner.”

“The food was absolutely delicious! The chicken salad was especially tasty, the pork ribs were full of flavor, and my kids loved the jerk chicken burger. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!”

“Delicious BBQ pork spare ribs and Steaks. Good atmosphere for relax or for groups who watching rugby online with big screen. Excellent and Recommended”

“Thank you to the Westie Bistro team for accommodating us at the very last minute — all 38 of us! You managed to fit us in comfortably and catered to our group so well. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the space was perfect. Your staff looked after us exceptionally, and we really appreciated there being no hidden costs, especially for a group our size. Highly recommend — thank you again for a great night!”

“Really nice bar. I can’t comment on the night life but for a Sunday lunch it’s chill and comfortable. I was lucky enough to get a spot beside the fire to read my book. The Caesar salad is top notch and the staff seemed very friendly.”

“We came here around 9 years ago and remembering how good it was we brought some friends and it did not disappoint. Our waitress Olive was fabulous, attentive and knowledgeable. The food was all divine. The staff are welcoming and friendly and celebrate you eating all you can. It's easy to get to from the city by catching a ferry as it takes you almost right to the door. This is an experience restaurant that is worth every dollar.”

“Fantastic as always. Definitely a top shelf venue that is consistently good. We shared a few entrees which were all delicious. I had a wagyu steak which good to my liking. Dessert was a real mix of flavours but very nice also. Definitely add this to your list and go if you haven’t been already.”

“I've visited this restaurant a couple of times and always meant to write a review but their delicious food just slipped my mind. I had the pleasure of dining there again tonight with my wife and I must say the place consistently meets high standards. The service was excellent and the seating was both nice and comfortable. My children absolutely love the sushi too. Plus, the prices are reasonable, there's plenty of parking and the atmosphere is wonderfully clean. It’s a great spot to enjoy a meal.”

“Had a great lunch at Lone Star Manukau for my little sister’s birthday on Sunday! The food was delicious and well prepared, and Sophia’s service( this is the name I saw on my receipt, I hope its her) was absolutely fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made our visit even better. Highly recommend for a relaxed and enjoyable lunch experience!”

“We order the spice bag and the shepherd’s pie. The portions were good and the food was delicious”

“Great service when entered & while eating Food didn't take long to come out Taste of food was beautiful very flavoursom with generous size to share ✴️The butchers block that was huge size able to feed up to 8 ppl although could of done with a side of garden salad & the colsaw as the colsaw was to rich on its own & it was runny needing to be in a bowl but yes different salad to break the meat would of been nice, yes all the meat tasty & tender yes worth a block ppl ✴️The blacksmith cheeseburger was OK needed more mayo or burger sauce was a bit dry biting into it , was expecting cheesy flavor couldn't finding in the bite. ✴️Surf n Turf was on par with cooking steak medium rare prawns & muscles done right ✅️ just needed a bit more salad & sauce. ✴️ Ceasars salad✅️ beautiful meaty & tasty It Complemented the butcher block had shared it around so worth. ✴️ mash potatoe was very tasty & smooth shared between 3ppl was beautiful ✅️ ✴️ Garlic pizza bread was tasty ✅️ but would of just got a normal Garlic bread. ✴️ Jug of coke & raspberry costly & when got to taste had no fizz it tasted flat had advised the waitress she had bought out a new jug . When sitting and talking towards end of the meal felt rushed with waitresses coming in interrupted conversations by asking to take thing off the table & the supervisors other waiters lingering around the bar area to where they could advise waitresses of emptying tables to get ppl out sooner they got in . It was like that when eating we were seated not far and could see they were lingering around it was uncomfortable. If they could spread out or hang back in backhouse it wouldn't feel weird. Other than that would definitely go back & highly recommend but find seating further from bar area.”

“The good, service and atmosphere was amazing. Staff checked in with us and were very friendly. The food was so delicious and came out fast. Live music was an extra treat”

“Wow!!! Best burgers ever!!! Big and juicy. If you have never tried it, you are missing out!!!”

“Good Home Takanini is a fantastic place to dine. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavour you can tell the chefs put real care into every plate. The portions were generous and definitely worth the price.”

“Had an amazing birthday dinner here. Both cocktails I had (Strawberry Kiss & Pink Gin Spritz) were so delicious. Cheesy Garlic Pizza Bread was so yummy, and my sirloin main with truffle parmesan fries, peas, & gravy was one of the best meals I’ve had out in a while. Staff were very friendly too, & food & drinks all came out quickly (was a Monday night though!). Will definitely come back.”

“OMG, I haven't been here in years but I pre ordered the 2 person special, chicken fried rice, wontons and sweet & sour pork. It was the tastiest Chinese takeaway we've ever had. There was no grease or fat. There is enough food for tomorrow night as well. I will be back!!!”

“Our favourite Takeaway on the shore. Consistently good over the years. Clean, fresh, tasty.”

“Tasty fish n chips and fried chicken. My go-to in the area”

“The place is just a replica of BBQ nation outlet in India. First they serve you all the BBQ dishes (Unlimited) like Chicken, fish, prawn, pineapple and Kumara. They also serve fried fish and potato with sause. You can then go ahead and enjoy the buffet food which has Indian and continental dish (just one). Overall the experience was very amazing and great service. The food was delicious and restaurant beautiful ambient set up gives a very relaxed atmosphere while enjoy the soft music in background. But expensive but worth a try. Good for family and big groups. Try for Groupon voucher to get a good deal and save some bucks.”

“Cheap beers, friendly locals and staff and the pokies where fun”

“If you’re looking for a spot in South Auckland that delivers bold Mediterranean flavors, laid-back vibes, and a complete dining experience, Eastern Grill in Manukau is one place that absolutely deserves your attention. Tucked away in the heart of Manukau, Eastern Grill offers much more than just a meal—it’s an experience. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with the grilled meats, and baked bread instantly whetting your appetite. The menu is packed with Mediterranean staples and crowd-pleasers. Whether you’re after a plate of crisp falafel, or creamy hummus paired with fresh, fluffy pita bread, you’re in for a treat. Their lamb is a standout—slow-cooked, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, wrapped in soft flatbread or served over rice. The chicken skewers are also incredibly tender, and the garlic sauce? Smooth, garlicky bliss. But what really sets Eastern Grill apart is what it offers beyond the plate. They have a relaxed outdoor seating area, perfect for enjoying the warm evening air with friends or family. The vibe is social and unpretentious, making it a great place to hang out for a while. Adding to that, Eastern Grill serves alcohol, so you can enjoy a cold beer or a glass of wine alongside your meal. And if you’re after a more chilled, social experience after dinner, they’ve got hookah (shisha) available in a range of different flavors—a popular touch that really brings out that traditional Middle Eastern lounge vibe. Whether you’re into fruity flavors like grape, mint, or apple, or something more exotic, there’s something for everyone. The staff are friendly, attentive, and more than happy to make recommendations if you’re not sure what to try. Service is quick, and portions are generous—great value for the quality and quantity of food you get. Whether you’re catching up with friends, going on a casual date, or just after a solid meal in a relaxed setting, Eastern Grill delivers on all fronts. It’s the kind of place you go once and immediately add to your regular list.”

“Quite huge portion of food. Very friendly customer service. Good taste and highly recommended!”

“I've been there a few times a couple years ago until The Light Horse closed down. This used to be The Light Horse. Good location from my place. Food is still good. But How sad it is that they don't open on weekend. I hope they open on weekend. Will be back with friends.”

“This is a fantastic spot! I love the decor and the food. I ordered the rump steak, which was delicious. My partner enjoyed the vegetarian pasta, and my dad and mum both loved their dishes: the eye fillet melted in his mouth, and the crumbed chicken was delicious too. Service was excellent also. Will definitely go back, thanks again.”

“Great customer service and food is always fresh and tasty! Love the chicken rice with fried egg! Sorry I’m so hungry already taken a bite!”

“This place has position, a great bar and restaurant with a locals / marina vibe. Clean and new, the menu has something for everyone. The mussels were incredible. Service is quick and attentive. Being a DB tied place, the usual selection of beer from there is on. Good wine list. If I was a local, this would be my local. It’s even got a sports screen pod which I guess is a good distraction for those that don’t want to converse. I love the bar stools at the bar too - an opportunity for this place to create a real locals vibe. Great stuff! Go here..”
