The place was opened in early 2015 by a local NZ chef who is super friendly and engaging. She talks to you by name and willing to have conversation. I've gotten the pork Burrito both times. The regular sized is $11, and the king size (which is double the size) is $17. They also have tacos, quesadillas, nachos and naked burritos. For sides, they serve beans, pico de gallo and others for $5. But they're signature side is the homemade chile con queso dip with chips for $10. Great locally owned restaurant with a promising future.

Based on the older reviews of this place, it seems that Mama Brown has evolved into a different…read morerestaurant since the pandemic. What was once a place known for fish tacos is now more of a tribute to American Diner foods like hamburgers, fries, shakes, chicken and waffles. Overall, I really like this place. It's a great hangout spot for groups to bond over nice smashburgers, fries, waffles and fried chicken. Pros: great selection of burgers, fried chicken and a variety of waffles both savory and sweet in options. Con: if I had anything to complain about, it would be the odd liquid nature of the shakes. As an American, I'm used to shakes that are served thick enough at least initially to be eaten with a spoon. With shakes like Snickers bars mixed in, you expect a thicker more frozen shake to evenly disperse the candy bits. The shakes here are more molten ice cream milk in viscosity which is problematic causing the candy bits to all congregate at the bottom. I'm still giving this a 4 out of 5 because I do recommend this place. If they ever redo the shakes to be thicker and more frozen in nature, it would elevate the Americana experience in Wellington even moreso.

When I first looked at the menu, it seemed right up my alley. It was a warm and humid day and I…read moreprobably shouldn't have eaten as much as I did. But I ordered the Punjabi poutine with fried chicken on top as well as the salted caramel rum milkshake. The milkshake was absolutely delicious. The poutine on the other hand, left a lot to be desired. It was supposed to have a butter chicken sauce on top of the fries but that sauce did not taste anything like butter chicken sauce. It tasted like a combination of marinara and a Thai peanut sauce. The firecracker sauce, which I got on the side, was the first actually spicy thing I had while in New Zealand. The staff member who helped me was very kind and funny but the place was surprisingly dead. Maybe everybody knew it what I just found out, which is that this place is just okay.

Must I say that the frozen L&P is SO dang delicious but strong! The milkshake was a total disappointment. We each got something different, and they both were no good.

The decor is tastefully minimal and the positioning (by the cinema) probably brings the crowds during the evening. I've tried the steak, the ribs and of course the chicken and I have to say the meals were good, but the chicken was superb. The service was good every time, and while it doesn't quite reflect the american service culture the staff were friendly and quick. I would recommend it for a simple meal after a movie or just a visit on a night out.
