    10/26/17 I was in NZ…read morefor the month of October, and this is one of the restaurants that popped up on my Yelp radar. Since I am from the states, and grew up not too far from K.C. 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.

    Man, don't listen to the 1-star reviews because they obviously wouldn't know good 'que or service…read moreif they got hit in the eye with it. 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!

    I came here to Comes and Goes back in November (yes, I know it's June as I write this but seeing as…read morethere's not many reviews on yelp I feel like I have to do this place a service by being a more recent review) after hopping off our cruise ship to explore Wellington with my wife and some friends, and this cafe sits in a beautiful area of town that's very homey and feels like you're venturing through a hallmark movie. It was small and quiet inside as it was still morning, so the wait staff was all the more attentive and quick to answer any questions we had about the menu. My wife is gluten free, and they were able to accommodate her mushroom toast order with gluten free bread (taste was out of this world, it came with a fried cheese tuile on top that just added so much more savoriness), and my Turkish eggs with halloumi was a light but perfectly satiating plate that had a lot of bold flavors coming from the shakshuka style sauce. Our friends got a seasonal special croissant sandwich as well as their bibimbap plate, and considering they spent the entire time eating and not saying anything I would consider that a resounding "yes this is amazing". They also had an amazing raspberry matcha that was so unbelievably creamy and delicious, I highly recommend trying it with oat milk if that fits your fancy. We were visiting from the US, and the prices I would say are comparable to a First Watch. Reasonable for a nice brunch when you're trying something out in a new city. I'm already planning my next trip out to AUS and NZ, and I know for sure I'm going to make this place a must-stop.

    The most gorgeous food ever!! I was worried the taste wouldn't match the looks... but it does!! I…read morecannot stop thinking about those Waffles. If you can make a bite with a bit of everything - bacon, cream cheese, berry, chocolate, syrup... omg it's EVERYTHING. I'm salivated just writing this! My only complaint was it was freezing in there! I had to wear my coat the whole meal. My husband also wanted to point out that it was the weakest coffee he had ever had.
