Really wanted a shepherd's pie but I didn't see it on the menu. The crust was perfectly cooked. Flaky and delicious. I loved their gravy on top. I thought the meat on the inside was just ok. It was flavorful but not the best pie I've had in NZ (which was at a place on Athol on the way down to Te Anau btw). I'm an American so take that with a grain of salt. Don't get me wrong it was good, just not great. Oh and I loved the slice of soda bread they gave you. First time trying that! Had a few NZ IPA's as well which were FANTASTIC. I don't remember the name. Anyway, everyone was friendly. I thought the prices were kind of high for a pie & a bit of mash--but perhaps that's just the tourist tax in Queenstown. Would 100% come back but I think I would try the Irish stew instead.

I enjoyed the roasted veggie salad and my husband had the most enormous fish sandwich that I've ever seen in my life. We had the Mickey's nachos for an appetizer which was fun considering we are from Arizona which is practically the nacho capital of the States. We sat outside on the patio for lunch which was just right for people watching but also toured inside to see the genuine Emerald Isle Memorabilia which was really cool. Mickey's also boasts to have the best Whiskey collection in town though we did not partake this particular day. Generous are the portions, friendly are the staff but S-L-O-W is the service. If you are looking to have a leisurely, yet gastronomically interesting lunch, try Mickey's. For the above mentioned items...it was 2 hours from start to finish. Seriously.... So they get 4 stars because the food was really tasty but because the service was so slow, I had to bump them down to 3. It wasn't crowded and there was really no good reason for the food to take so darn long to come out.

Came back during happy hour and got the bar platter and onion rings, which were both quite tasty. What made them even tastier was that it was half off, and when you pair it with an ice cold lager, there's not much better. Great value, above average bar food!

My partner had the lamb burger, we shared the poutine, and I had the venison pot pie. Portion sizes are huge so I had to take away some of my pot pie and some leftover poutine in a box. Taste wise, my partner enjoyed his burger, we both loved the poutine, and the venison pot pie was good but a little too sweet for my liking. The poutine, while used mozzarella instead of cheese curds, was our favorite and would just come here to order a few orders of that. We also got a flight to share to try some local brews including 3 sours, 1 ginger beer, 1 cider, and 1 lemonade. They were all good and I especially liked the ginger beer on the menu.
