    After hearing the team behind Logan Brown had opened another establishment in Wellington, I had to…read moretry it during my visit. In short, I'm giving this a mid-range review because of the service, and because the food was only okay. A bustling Saturday evening, and having only opened recently could be the reason for the not so good service, but I would've thought a month was enough time to iron out the kinks. Initially told the wait would be 45mins for a table of 6, we ended up waiting nearly 1 hour 45 minutes. Normally, I would've left to dine at another establishment, but as I mentioned above, I was very keen to try the food. After checking with the hostess a couple of times (after the initial 45 minute wait), she tried her best to be accommodating by taking our food orders early so they would be ready when we finally sat down. Unfortunately, the food wasn't worth the wait: Ribs with hoisin-lime sauce fell away from the bone as if they'd been paid good attention to, but they were a little dry. Japanese fried chicken- good salt and pepper taste, with slightly soggy coating. Chicken was nice and tender. Bavette steak- nice flame grill char, cooked very well. Fennel Apple slaw- nice, but a little bland. To summarise, the price of food here is great if you're looking to order small plates to share, I don't think the portions of the mains were suited to their higher prices. The food here is decent, but if I had to wait a long time again, I wouldn't think twice about finding somewhere else to dine. As I said above, my experience could be a one off, which is why I've given three stars and not less. In a city with amazing dining options, grill meats beer will need to pick up their game if they are in it for the long haul.i

    It's great that there is a place to get good ribs in town and beer! It was very exciting to come…read morehere. The place has a really nice, modern, casual, laid back ambiance. I came here specifically to have ribs, and I was not disappointed. I had the hoisin sauce, which was sticky and salty, and really good. I also had the onion knots on the side which I've never had anything quite like it. They're like curry flavored battered onions. The one thing I wish I had was some hot sauce for those ribs. Would come back here again, and also recommend for others to try.

    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!
