Great atmosphere! Tasty food - the Hot Chick Salad was fresh with crisp iceberg lettuce, polite and prompt service, coffee was number 1! Must use the toilet!

Always enjoy it here. Would have appreciated a greeting / acknowledgement as we walked in, got some menus & found a seat.

Really appreciated they modified my burger to make it 'lettuce wrapped' & checking to see how our meals were when eating.

Very retro, very quirky, very friendly and very, VERY delicious food. It's about one hour from Lake Tekapo. We stumbled upon it by accident as it was on the main road as we drove through on the way to Christchurch and we decided to stop for an early lunch. We all had different items from the menu and all four of us were happy with our meals. Would definitely recommend.

Called in for a bite to eat on the drive to Wanaka.
Fantastic decor (retro Kiwi)
Had the Cheese rolls and bacon butty and home made baked beans.
Cheese rolls where to die for. Bacon butty was just as i remember from being young, lashings of bacon slapped between a 2 slices of fresh buttered bread :)
Home made baked beans again were amazing.
