The food is worth the wait so don't fret. I got greedy and ordered the humpty. It was a mountain of a burger and I was almost too full at the last bite and even more so after the fries. Overall, it's a good spot to grab food after you get dropped off by the boats on the beach after a day hiking in Abel Tasman National Park.

Classic, delicious, fresh fish and chips. Really popular place with locals, and only open for…read moredinner. Their full scoop of chips is a very generous scoop! We ordered one hoki, one fish burger, and a battered fish of the day, as well as one scoop of chips and one scoop of seasoned wedges (SO GOOD). The fish of the day came as a pretty good-sized fillet. The fish burger was a delightful surprise - several smaller pieces of fried battered fish, lettuce, mayo, caramelized onions, and tart-sweet pickled beet slices. Seabreeze also sell single packets of Wattie's tomato sauce, tartare sauce, and aioli for 60 cents a pop, and larger cans of the tomato sauce for $2 NZD. This is a takeaway joint, and they have some chairs inside for a comfortable wait. There are also three tables, but they're very small, so if you want to eat there you might be able to if they're not occupied by waiting customers, but don't necessarily count on it :)

We were struggling to find food in Nelson, having arrived after most cafes had stopped serving for…read morelunch. We were abut to give up and just pick up a pie out of a bakery when we found Stables bar and to our delight, were still serving. It was great to sit down and relax for a bit and watch the chef through the cubbhole in the bar barking orders at his team while they cooked our meal. I opted for sweetcorn fritters, which were the best I had had on holiday, and the SR had the Stables burger, which the chef brought out himself (nice touch, people). It was a beast of a burger, with egg, cheese, bacon and 2 burgers as well as a whole host of other pieces. It broke the SR. All in all, Stables was a good stop, with substantial lunches that absolutely hit the spot for us. A happy find in Nelson.

Very solid option near the jumping off point for many of the Abel Tasman tours. They appear to…read moreserve a lot of what Gone Burger's walk up stand outside also serves, plus a number of other seafood options, as well as a larger selection (or just...a selection in general) of wine and beer. I had the "rocket" venison burger - nice tasty patty that wasn't greasy and wasn't dry. Good venison flavor, actually, served on an enormous bun at least double the area of the patty (which seems to be a thing in NZ for sandwiches - bread much much larger than toppings. And not small toppings, just...bread like whoa. Fortunately I love bread.) spread with a fig/date spread that was really yummy, plus some greens and a beet slice. I'm not a beet fan, so I swapped that with a family member, but in general, the burger was good and kind of hit the spot after jumping on the road early. It's super convenient to grab a bite as you wait for your tour, or afterwards. It's also the closest thing, otherwise your options are very limited and further afield. So - I'd totally come back. Again, it's about the only option. But then again, I wouldn't drive out of my way to get here. It's perfect for what it is and where it is.
