Delicious food and fantastic service

P. K.

Excellent service and great food lovely lunch with family from Chch. Table of 6 well served outside as I'm on a mobility scooter. Hope there is going to be room inside for us in the winter as we would definitely go again if table can be set down stairs.

K.

Fantastic experience. We had a table of 21 people and the waitress Jessie handled everything with ease. The meals were delicious. I had the southern chicken burger.

T. E.

Just had the best meal at Armadillo's Ashburton (Ashburton, New Zealand) highly recommended my steak was melt in the mouth perfectly cooked divine (R) steak and the mushroom sauce I just want to bath in service was quick professional and polite cleanliness I witnessed staff making good use of hand sanitizer what was amazing to see in these times get on down and take advantage of these $15 lunches such a bargain

V. S.

Best restaurant and second best bar in ashburton. Has everything, good food, great environment, live music on weekends. Definitely one of my favourite spot for the weekends.

S. M.

Lovely friendly atmosphere and staff are great. The staff listened to what all the orders were as some had some changes or taking things off. Food was really well presented and delicious.

C. R.

Had an amazing first experience of an Armadillos restaurant. The service was honestly some of the BEST! Fantastic service by all, extremely friendly staff, great meals- we highly recommend!

M. H.

Service & atmosphere was great- Drinks over priced. Pasta was delicious & a generous portion. Steak disappointing as very small & underwhelming especially because of cost.

N. C.

The food was really nice but didn't think there was enough food to fill ones tummy well mine anyway, very pleasant staff.

P. M.

Had a lovely lunch of steak salad and fries. Beautiful flavor, very well presented. Reasonable price. Recommend.

K. B.

The staff were very friendly and helpfull, food was average for others, I enjoyed my hotpot though, very tasty

J. A.

Good place, great service and food. Little Mia enjoyed her food and apparently its her favourite place because of kids club.

S. S.

Delicious prawns. Server gave us some great advice and information on the road we were taling up to Arthurs Pass.

l. j.

First time there. Had $15 lunch menu. Was lovely and staff were very nice.

T. W.

Was here for a friend's celebratory dinner recently. There was a group of approximately 30 of us - booked in advance. No pre-orders taken, just order from menu when seated. Often this situation makes me anxious, especially since we'd driven from Christchurch for the meal. I've been part of many group bookings and ended up with HUGE wait times, and/or terrible food. Not so with Armadillos in Ashburton. Their management was top notch. We could choose from the full menu, rather than being limited to a set menu list too. The wait staff were genuine and friendly, they regularly checked in with us for drinks top ups. The kitchen staff rocked it too! The food came out promptly and was delicious, and well-cooked. We were stuffed by the end of the meal, and walked away really happy with our experience. What makes this more stunning is there was apparently ANOTHER large group on the other side of the restaurant and we still had a great experience!! Well done to the team at Armadillos Ashburton!!

D. T.

Great meals with friends and family from Christchurch. Quick and delicious.

H. P.

Good music good beer and amazing staff

Recommend these baby back ribs. Some of the best ribs I have had. Plenty of meat on them. My wife had the lamb shank and thoroughly enjoyed it.

C. F.

Great food, friendly staff and good atmosphere with retro art and 60s music

D. F.

Decent food incl vegan options, great wait staff.

S. W.

My family and I had a great experience at armadillos. Our waitress from Australia, which we think her name tahlia, was fantastic, friendly and attentive. She made an amazing espresso martini, and she went above and beyond to make our experience great.

R. K.

Fast friendly service with really good prices, go for the deal of the day for a real bargain. Schnitzel is recommended for a good pub style feed.

A. S.

B. M.

Great atmosphere reasonably quiet, good food and presentation, reasonable price

P. T.

Lamp shank is perfect cook. Recommend this restaurant. Good decorations

S. A.

A well presented restaurant with plenty of space in two separate areas, formal dining and Cafe/bar. Good food options, mains are typically in the mid 20s, but we were all happy with the food that came out. Service was a little slow at the start, but it was mother's day, however a couple of staff needed to put a smile on to fix the level of service. We'll definitely be back!

W. S.

Stopped in at the tables outside at lunch time just for some water, and menus were supplied. I decided to order a cappuccino, and then because my partner and I were so impressed with the wide selection on the menus (extra sheet added to the normal menu) we ordered a Japanese Teriyaki Chicken to share between us. The cappuccino was excellent, and the meal rich in flavours and presentation. The service was excellent too. The manager who took our order was pleasant, jokey without being rude, polite and helpful; the waiter who delivered the order came to the correct table - both times before ours and ours. This my partner commented on because neither tables had numbers and the waiter was not the one who took the order. An all around stylish pub/restaurant that has tidy and looked after toilets as well (doesn't smell, clean, warm/cold taps, Dyson hand-dryer).

N. B.

Lovely staff especially the manager Jess! Food was great and the atmosphere perfect.

D. T.

J. B.

Amazing service, very friendly and accomodating and beautiful tasty, well presented meal. The restaurant/bar was lovely and warm. Would highly recommend. I will be back next time in Ashburton 😊👌

B. F.

Good food, very helpful staff, dairy and gluten free menus as well as the normal menu.

L. D.

Really good service, I do like wait staff that can take a bit of banter, and give it back. Good was pretty good too. The family says we'll be back for dinner next time.

P. K.

Food is great here though quite hard on the wallet. Staff do great service and if your more of a late night bar person this is the place for you. Live music is played here frequently from bands and is always packed so you know it's a great place. I rate this 8/10 as the wallet doesn't appreciate it but if you're after a one off 10/10

J. C.

I had crispy chicken burger which was good . Dad thought 5 allapeno bites for 16 bucks was a ripoff . Service was great while it lasted. Wouldn't hurry back

P. R.
