Reviews of Drexels Breakfast Restaurant
Y.
Good location for the early birds to grab the breakfast. Friendly staff and good service, waffle is yummy, my daughter likes it so much. Car park could be the issue when the street is busy.
S.
Got the Drexel special with extra bacon and loved it. Great food and quick service but it’s almost too speedy so it’s hard to judge customer service. It gets pretty loud when busy and the food is pretty pricy but an otherwise good spot for a brunch catch up.
A.
Has to be the best breakfast place in Ōtautahi Christchurch! We've been coming here for many years for birthdays in the family. Excellent food, hearty portion sizes and reasonable pricing. It's always super busy on weekends so booking is essential if you don't want to miss out. Highly recommend making a booking for weekdays too. The service is excellent, the staff are friendly, energetic and so onto it, they always seem to pop around with the bottomless coffee pot just as you're starting to think ooh I could go for another cup. Cannot recommend Drexel's enough. Oh and bonus points for the little birthday candle they gave my partner with his pancakes because we mentioned he was a birthday boy!
b.
The food was nice. We took all 5 members of our family out for breakfast. We all ordered something different. The customer service was also great. There was a wee 4 minute wait but nothing to complain about. We will be back. Our youngest son also has autism was a wee bit loud but nothing that our son couldn't cope with.
S.
Awesome food (hash browns need a little seasoning but I done it myself). Great ambience in the restaurant. Omelet was nice and fluffy with plenty of filling. Pancakes were spongy too.
M.
Environment is not bad. Ordered big breakfast which was surprisingly good and its comes with corned beef. I even have bread and butter as complementary from Drexels.
C.
Great service. I had the Eggs Benedict with salmon. He had the Farmers breakfast. My only criticism is the hash brown that is served with them both is flavorless and too big and thick a slab. Our poached eggs were just under so still had some runny white which isn't pleasant to eat.
K.
Amazing place for breakfast and to bring someone special along with you! Their pancakes and smoothies make me melt 😁
D.
Really good eggs and generous bacon. Corned beef hash was a little loose and difficult to eat.
E.
I had a great time here and there service was amazing! Really enjoyed our Anniversary Breakfast!! And we definitely had value for money! Can't wait to head there for my birthday breakfast!
K.
Overall good but a bit overhyped. The prices were on the high side, personally for the same price I'd rather go to another brunch place where the atmosphere is better and less hectic. The location is very convenient though. The food was decent, eggs on the eggs benedict were good and I did like the homemade hash browns.
M.
Very friendly and diligent service, but very slow. Good selection and highly customisable. French toast was too eggy for my liking, pancakes were good, but the waffles were the pick of the day. Overall, very good experience, I do recommend.
L.
Great meal and coffee. Only 4 stars as they forgot to bring our toast and my sausage. Other then that was very tasty
M.
The most incredible breakfast I've ever had! We had the farmers breakfast and the full stack of blueberry pancakes. So fresh and tasty. Was really neat that we were able to order bottomless tea and coffee too. They book out fast so make sure you book a spot as they don't have spaces for walk ins
K.
Busy as, staff are fast. Loved the pancakes and everyone at our group were very happy with their food. Was good to see a waiter come back and ask us how our food was. Great table service.
M.
A large group of us visited Drexels last Sunday for Brunch.
A fantastic menu, reasonably priced and friendly efficient staff and service.
Highly recommended!
C.
I chose three sides for breakfast this morning.l had two eggs scrambled, hashbrown ,and crispy bacon.Well presented, and very tasty. Friendly staff. Great place to go for a meal.
A.
The food was nice. Anyway, the service was fast and mostly good apart from one of the staff members (maybe she was the duty manager) was very abrupt and impolite. I know that it is a busy Sunday but the way that she approached us was very rude and not in a very pleasant manner, all but throwing the menus at us. No grace under pressure.
T.
Food was ok. When I heard it was an American style breakfast diner I was excited. But the service isn't anywhere close to what you get in the USA. Went early on a Monday so place wasn't packed but after dropping our meals we couldn't get a refill on the coffee for 20mins..and then the waitress only came over because the burrito we ordered to go was ready. Waste of time getting the refill coffee if they don't bother to come and refill it.
t.
OMG my daughter and I had the best brunch here, the staff were very accommodating... We will definitely be back and I'll be trying the pancakes they look amazing
N.
Food was nice, but staff looked overworked. I felt bad for the staff, we were there early Sunday it was very busy and staff looked rushed. We didn't feel like we could relax and enjoy our breakfast.
R.
Found us seats at the counter during a busy time with only a few minutes wait. Great breakfast and sitting at the counter was actually a bonus giving the American diner feel. Staff were good fun and friendly. Good start to a Sunday.
L.
Always agreat place for Breakfast. Never fails.
S.
Absolutely fantastic! Been a regular here for years and the standard has never slipped. They have a wide range of food with a list of extras so you can have your meal however you like! And in true American fashion, they have unlimited filter coffee for $4
D.
We had a very early breakfast there and were impressed with the food and service. Food was fresh and delicious, and served pretty quickly. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I was not sure about one drink and one lady was very patient to explain to me. Good stuff!
M.
This is a great breakfast restaurant where you can order from a menu or create your own breakfast from the available sides.
They guarantee your meal will not be ready in 5 minutes. This is because they guarantee it will be of excellent quality. To avoid any hunger pains they bring out toast with a nice raspberry (I think it's raspberry?) jam.
As this is a restaurant it would pay to book. Also because they do breakfast only the restaurant closes at 2pm. Do note it is part of the Ricccarton Mall so head to the Mall car parking. Definitely worthy of a visit - I keep going back.
The photo of the little paper cup and wooden knife and fork highlight Drexel's awareness for sustainable practices.
A.
Absolutely amazing. Restaurant was full and there was a great turnover. However it didn't take long to get our food and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend this breakfast Restaurant. Staff was friendly and service was great and quick. I would be back as soon as I live in Christchurch.
A.
Good breakfast. But their 5 min serving. Didn’t hold as our breakfast came after 30 mins. It ws busy though on a Thursday at 11am.
Different in a sense that with eggs one got a potato fried mash sort of a thing. Nachos chipotle was good too. Filter coffee was ok. Over all 3.5.. should visit Once.
20/6/20
Visited again and very impressed. Generous servings and very happy with the servers.
Drexel delux plus nachos plus salmon bagel. Well done.
C.
We had our work team xmas brekkie here and it was so yummy I forgot to take a photo of the food before I inhaled it (well as much of it as I could - the portion sizes are huge).
The Drexels special offers the perfect mix of sweet/savoury breakfasty goods and I’ve been craving the hashbrown and french toast ever since we ate here.
It was super busy but the kitchen and wait staff ran that place like a well oiled machine so we didnt wait long to eat & pay the bill.
Great service and amazing food, if you’ve been thinking about going.. just go 😉
E.
Love this place. Really good taste on breakfasts. Every time I stop in Christchurch I come here for breakfast. Size of the plate is big enough to stuff most of people. Highly recommended!
K.
The food here is delicious, unless you're a big eater I would suggest only getting 2 pancakes as they are very generous servings. The coffee was some of the best I've had in a while. We sat at the bar so we could see the kitchen and the wait staff in action, the staff were very efficient and worked amazing as a team, the place was packed but food was brought out in a timely manner and customer service was on point throughout our entire meal
A.
Have visited this place a few times now, and am very happy with everything! The interior, the service, the food is of a spectacular level. I always recommend Drexel’s to people visiting Christchurch as a must.
m.
Absolutely love this place for breakfast!!! Wonderful customer service from Tania Wilson as I wasn't feeling too good on the day I went in and then she noticed and put us somewhere more quiet and secluded it was great, just what I expect when it comes to customer service 😊 our waitress was Emma Ham and she was vibrant and full of energy and knows how to make conversation, we had a good chat as she had an accent, she is here on working visa and reckon she came to the right place (new Zealand) I'm a huge critic and wouldn't normally do this but Emma wanted to come here and work and she is doing it well, I highly suggest Tania or Emma to work within your establishment as they have passion and drive for work 😊🤗 I only have one complaint and that is the hot chocolate, I love my hot chocolate, chocolaty with heaps of chocolate but my hot chocolate tasted like milk 😑 waffles were delicious and so was the breakfast, rest of the food is amazing and will be definitely going back there again and again and again 😍😍😍
a.
Local restaurant that start open at 6.30am. They serve farmers breakfast, egg omelette with 3 choices, full smash avocado, classic pancake. Good ambient and fast service.
N.
A friend told me to book a table there as the walk in is close to the impossible. Booked the table, both waffle and the pancakes were amazing!!! Staff friendly and place clean, loved it. They’ll surely see us again,keep up the good work people 💯
A.
Great food, lovely staff. The only feedback is they didn't seem to have order ready for one person in our group, we visited for a work event for about 10 people.
N.
Great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Meals have always been consistently good quality & delicious here and staff always friendly. Booking is highly recommended as they are always busy, esp. weekends.
S.
Always a great breakfast at Drexels. A little slow on the coffee refills and such a small amount of jam for 3 people but we enjoyed our meals.
J.
American breakfast done with style, free toast butter and jam while you wait.
Good food and service, you can pay extra for real maple syrup, big portions.
R.
The great American breakfast experience in Christchurch. It delivers exactly what it promises. Great food and service.
m.
Awesome 👌 good service friendly customers we had a good 👍 breakfast on my birthday 🎂 January 22nd. Thank you Drexel
C.
Been dining with Drexel's since the 1990s.
A consistent experience of great breakfast, great service and a buzzing atmosphere. Don't get your usual breakfast, try something different, like American style pancakes or huevos rancheros. Love the bottomless coffee. Book in advance, especially school holidays and weekends.
R.
Little Miss Piggy highly recommends... top food, top service!
D.
Very accommodating moved us when asked for better seating, waitress was awesome very friendly and although busy very attentive, food was 10 out of 10 as always ,
D.
Great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Awesome atmosphere and great service.
P.
Lovely staff and great meal :)
The portion of food is quite big for me but that good.
J.
Wow, what a great breakfast place will not be my last visit. Eggs Perfect and fantastic service. 3 of us ate, I had the Farmers Breakfast (Big Brekky) has the lot. Poached eggs perfect. The other guests had Smashed Avocado and bacon, going for that next time ;-) And last of all but not and less impressive was the Avocado and Bacon Bagel with Scrambled eggs. Will be back to work my way thru this menu.
Side note - apparently you should book, so maybe call ahead first. A booking app would be great, linked to google maps.
G.
Staff were so professional and helpful, also bright and cheery
What a great selection of breakfast/ brunch food.
Open 6.30 am until approx 2 pm.
Would recommend Drexels as a go to breakfast place. Food is filling and yummy. 👍
A.
Good hearty feed here at a great price, very busy which adds to the atmosphere, highly recommend
A.
Always busy there. Good service from staff. The food's always good. Best to book if your going.
J.
It was a great place to have a good breakfast when it was in Hereford St. Was not quite the same when they relocated to Riccarton
V.
Delicious food as always. 5 of us at our table and everyone was happy with their meals. Good service also
P.
As always, top service and good food. We will be back again soon.
D.
Great waffles & friendly service! Had to wait 35 mins for a seat so would highly recommend making reservations. 👍😍
J.
Love this place. Booking online is super easy (and highly recommended if you actually want a table). Food comes out fast and the team are all lovely.
R.
I have been coming to Drexel's since I was little and in the city. I will always love it there and it was the first restaurant in chch to have an American style diner experience. Try the waffles and the Drexel's special!!!
l.
Delicious lunch did not have to wait for food and coffee came with meal
m.
Very friendly staff and nice food there. I enjoyed French toast very much. Waffle also good too.
M.
Bring an appetite this place is off the chain. Great service, attentive staff and abundant USA diner style food
G.
I understand Drexel's is considered a Christchurch institution, having been among the first to bring "brunch" to the city in 1986. It certainly felt like a stuck in the past, "don't scare the horses" kind of place. A clean, well-fitted premises that lacked character. The menu was a breakfast snooze, albeit the dishes were executed adequately. A fine kinda place to take your nan, or your brother-in-law and his brood of littleluns, but the modern brunch-lover expects more.
K.
Awesome service and good food. Definitely pays to book a table here as it's popular.
V.
Another visit here, and still impressed . All bar one of our group were beaten by the generous meals
k.
Amazing staff. Very attentive and efficiency plus. Food delicious. Yum!
R.
Went to Drexels for breakfast this morning.
Got a flat white and an Eggs Benedict with bacon.
Eggs bene was fantastic, huge portion, eggs were well cooked, English muffin was sizeable. Hash brown was magic.
Flat white was good.
Would definitely return here.
K.
Busy and popular. Food was ok today. Couple of small errors on the order. Just not the old yeah Drexels
S.
We got the drexels special so I got the hash brown, eggs and sausage. That was yummy but when the pancakes came out, I was to full so I took th home. The very worse pancakes ever they were so dry that every mouthful broke up. I don't know if the cook had a bad day but if I wad there I would've given it back! Staff were great.
Z.
Love it here! The food, the filter coffee, the services, the atmosphere... already looking forward to my next visit!
J.
First time back here in a while. Still just as good as we remembered it. Generous quality portions, friendly staff. Thank you 😊
J.
Good not great! Pretty typical breakfast place but def got those American vibes
T.
Always a great meal, great staff
V.
What an treat! Everytime i've come here it's a 10/10 experience, the food is always so fresh and tasty. They're smoothies are fantastic and you always get complimentry toast. Well worth booking in advance as can get very busy very fast.
N.
Went here for a nice breakfast with my husband and in-laws. The service was awesome. The menu is huge and has some American items (waffles, French toast, and pancakes) the real piece of home though, is the bottomless filter coffee. I got the smashed avocado which was HEARTY. I couldn't even finish it. Great spot for a big yummy breakfast.
K.
Lovely staff and quick turnaround but the food is overrated, nothing special. If you're a foodie, keep your expectations low
J.
Very busy restaurant! I like there atmosphere and toast. So impressive..❤️
D.
Always great brekkie/brunch and the service is brilliant.
P.
Fantastic service and breakfast. Highly recommend this place!!
J.
First time here. Great variety and reasonably priced. Probably pays to book ahead as it was very busy, which is a positive I guess. Staff were quite friendly as well. Will definitely be back!
D.
A special treat for me going out for brunch with my extended family. Funny thing when I ordered two meals for myself because I couldn't choose between them the staff were concerned I would not be able to finish them. They do doggy bags so not really a problem. But the food was great and evaporated of my plates. So no doggy bag . Sorry Bella woof
d.
Got to be the best breakfast I've ever had in New Zealand the waiter got a tip from us for her great service highly recommended this establishment 5 star rating from me.
A.
Delicious food. They have vegetarian and allergy friendly options available, and very reasonable prices. The staff are super friendly, and the place is always busy. Must book in advance or you are unlikely to get a seat. Bottomless filtered coffee available. Would highly recommend for a breakfast that will leave you feeling very satisfied at the end.
S.
Awesome, had the ultimate sweet treat, highly recommended.
H.
The best breakfast ever! We were early and still got seated when we arrived. We had our drinks within 5 minutes and then our food wasn't far from that as well. Amazing service and efficiency. Will always come back here.
T.
Really good food. Hash browns appear homemade. Recommended.
L.
Awsum place very nice atmosphere, with continued coffee loved it
W.
Very friendly and helpful staff, quick food service and great food.

M.
We got to sit at the kitchen bar and watch the chefs. Great fun, terrific food, fabulous service. We'll be back!
B.
Great food loved the avocado smash always enjoy a good breakfast or lunch here
L.
Always a great customer service and food wise always fills me up! Definitely a great catch-up spot and definitely a family friendly restaurant.
J.
Great atmosphere. Good service. And delicious food! If I ever go back to Christchurch this is a must stop! Drexel's is a great place to just sit and enjoy breakfast
C.
Delicious breakfast and the crispiest hashbrowns. Service was also very attentive.
G.
Always a great meal and reasonable prices bookings essential 1 day ahead always busy
K.
We had an enjoyable brekky my Eggs benny was chill .
C.
Omg!! Loved it!
Soooooo much on our plate that we couldnt eat it all.
Will definitely be returning
D.
Favourite breakfast place! Always yum with fantastic customer service ...definitely pays to book
T.
I had a vegetarian crepe. I liked the menu: good variety with great sides to every meal. The hashbrowns were a little underdone and I wish they had a variety of toast options to choose from.
S.
Always good always fresh always full
Nice food nice staff
Best breakfast in town
D.
LOVE DREXELS!! It holds special memories and the food as well as the staff are fantastic
T.
The world needs more places like this a very busy but well set out restaurant, the hash brown was a real hash brown not some Frozen piece of potato
T.
Absolutely fantastic service from our waitress Hannah, we can be a rather rowdy family that think they are funny and she interacted with us really well. A real asset to the restaurant, food fantastic as always by far our favourite place to go for breakfast
J.
What happened? Where's the great service and good food you used to have? For the prices the food should be good on a consistent basis. Kind of disappointed. I used to love it.
B.
Best place for breakfast in Christchurch. In often enough for the wait staff to know my by name and 0 regrets so far.
Very seldom any issues and if anything is wrong they are very quick to fix it!
B.
Fantastic food. Staff very helpful.
v.
Loved our breakfast here coffee is Amazing
j.
The best french toast in chch! Staff are attentive and friendly. Keep up the good work guys.
T.
The breakfast is alright but they really charge you a fortune for the mediocre food your served
J.
Awesome! In, seated, fed and out within an hour. Would of been quicker if we weren't chin wagging haha. Food was great, good service. Bottomless coffee is dangerous for a caffeine lover like me. Definitely go back.
D.
An absolute must if you're looking for a breakfast like no other in Christchurch. You'll have to book in advance so don't be surprised if there's not a space seat in the building.
P.
A great way to start the day. There should be more breakfast restaurants.
J.
Loved the breakfast here. Was really busy so maybe recommended to book. We didn't book and was seated by the counter (just two of us so that's okay) with a view to the kitchen. Personally I liked watching the busy kitchen. Great food, perfect poached eggs, beef hash was yummy and not greasy. Fair price, not overpriced. Great waitresses, attentive but not intrusive. Will definitely come back again.
K.
I go here every Monday morning for breakfast, 100% would recommend
K.
Love this place. Has long been a favorite of ours for breakfast/brunch/lunch and can see why it is sometimes hard to get a table. Need to book in advance if you want to guarantee a table. Fantastic food that is consistently delicious with friendly staff. Highly recommend
S.
I can't get enough of this place. I first went in because the sign said American breakfast, and after several years in New Zealand, I was missing the kind of pancakes I was used to back home. Drexels makes such an excellent American style pancake that I find it difficult to make myself order anything else. As someone else commented, booking is definitely essential, as it's always busy. The food is worth the wait though.
M.
Fantastic experience on my first visit! This place is a well-oiled machine, they have obviously been doing this for years. Staff are on to it, attentive and accomodating. Food was delicious and portions were generous. It’s American Diner style food but much higher quality. Homemade hash browns are to die for! Prices make for great value too. Would definitely come back! Only blemish is they are busy around the clock so you need to call up beforehand to secure a table.
S.
The best breakfast I've ever had!! The eggs bene is amazing, the hash browns are great aswell! The pancakes and waffles are the best!! All of it is just amazing I'd go every weekend if I could!!!
S.
Delicious food, very large serving size
M.
Bro dont bring to this honkey place again. It was all right and food was ok
A.
Visited Christchurch for the first time, couldn't have started the day with a better breakfast.
D.
So excited about Level 2 & heading to my favourite (years of happy memories) best ever breakfast venue.
G.
The food and drinks was so good. Staff were nice. (I wasn't very impressed as the lady at the counter who was very rude too me as she couldn't find any booking under my friends name)!! Lovely atmosphere.
B.
Good food. Always makes food to the same standard so always know what your getting. Good choice of meals.
C.
I have been going to Drexels for over 26 years I always love coming here the food and service is great
S.
Always a good breakfast feed. Plenty of choice including the burrito which was lovely and a change to the usual breakfast choices.
R.
Outstanding service and food. With generous portions you won't leave hungry.
K.
Yum.. enough said. Great service. Huge portions and really great food. Love this place
C.
Very good breakfast. Great service. Beautiful eggs. Bottomless coffee.
M.
Had the Brekkie Bun and a hot chocolate. Huge plate of food. Very yummy. Service was good, friendly staff. Would recommend.
R.
The food was divine. We all raved about the quality. Appreciate the service when I asked for a dairy free iced chocolate and when I asked for the avo smash, she confirmed that this had feta and would I be okay with that. It was really nice that she checked.
S.
The best waffles and bacon you will ever have!!! Been here many times and it never disappoints. The service is outstanding too
A.
Edit: had this given to us on our recent visit... one toast completely burnt and one hardly toasted... I'm sure the person serving would have noticed but probably didnt care. taking off 2 stars for now
_______________________
Nice breakfast menus kids love it
S.
So was my first time to Drexels and I must say ordering the Drexels special which I chose poached eggs and bacon I felt the meal lacked some hype like at least some complimentary hollandaise sauce. The French toast was very enjoyable but also wasn’t presented to the table with syrup which I felt you shouldn’t need to request but other wise I enjoyed my time here
S.
As an American eating this American-style breakfast, I can confirm it is, in fact, American-style (certainly plenty of delicious food). The pancakes were hot and delicious. And the eggs and bacon were cooked to simmering satisfaction. The service was even better, with an exceptionally personable and welcoming wait staff. Fantastic overall breakfast experience.
D.
What can I say other than awesome!! Have been going here for years and I've never been disappointed!! Great food, great staff 😊😊
E.
Favourite breakfast spot, have been going to Drexel's since I was in a highchair as a toddler. It never misses, always fantastic. Book ahead as always full
c.
Fast service, excellent quality of food, very busy.
P.
Friendly helpful staff.
Food great.
R.
The environment feels so delightful. I love the atmosphere of this restaurant. The food is also amazing, the staff are wonderful too. Would come again!
S.
Once again another great breakfast. Will definitely be back again. Wish there were more Drexels open over NZ.
D.
Definitely I've of the best breakfast spots in town. Having lived in the US for a while this place definitely brings back some nostalgia of places like village Inn.
C.
Good as usual but the portion become smaller compare to a few years ago
P.
I personally did not like the corn beef hash as it made it more salty than needed. The farmers breakfast is great. Pancakes are wonderful and thick especially with maple syrup.
K.
One of my all-time favourite restaurants in Christchurch. For the love of breakfast foods, everyone should go at least once. Plenty of options, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and good quality produce. I plan on being back again as soon as I can :) Easy to recommend.
I.
Great value for money and very nice staff.
A.
Brilliant service, fantastic meal great atmosphere. Very popular and having eaten here I can see why.

Had the breakfast borrito very good. Paper straws for the environment. Eat here!

I think that is the best breakfast in Christchurch

I had a vegetarian crepe. I liked the menu: good variety with great sides to every meal. The hashbrowns were a little underdone and I wish they had a variety of toast options to choose from.
T.
Lovely attentive service
V.
Was busy but the severs was top knotch well done and beautiful food top stranded.
H.
We enjoyed a fabulous staff breakfast last Friday morning. Our team enjoyed the breakfast special which is a favourite for those who can't make up their mind about savoury or sweet ;) 2 of our guys had the avacado smash on toast with poached egg's and I very much enjoyed my french toast with bacon and fresh banana's. Everyones plates were scraped clean and the boys said it filled them up for the whole day. A lovely breakfast made even more enjoyable by our waiter Ruby who was attentive, conscientious and fast. Thanks Drexels!!
N.
I had such a wonderful breakfast there the food was awesome and really friendly staff.
I would throughly recommend dining there.
A.
** Please note the Management @ Drexel's have been very understanding of our complaint, apologised for any inconveniences & have offered reperations. We are very happy with the outcome & would acknowledge that Drexel's has gone above & beyond to make sure we were satisfied & felt listened to ** Made another visit this morning, to what is usually our favorite special occasion breakfast venue, only we were left with a very sour taste in our mouths this time (literally). One member of our group ordered banana pancakes, which she orders every time & loves, however this time around they were expremely salty & after a few of us tried them we all found the same very over-salted flavour.
We made a rare decision to alert the staff & ask for a replacement dish, even though the person involved didn't want to make a fuss. The staff member returned & told us we were wrong & there was no way the pancakes could be too salty, it was just the butter & they could remove the butter & re-grill them or we could just have them as they were. I can't recall another time at any other establishment when you would be told simply you are wrong & to basically put up with it. Poor form Drexel's, no one in our party will be returning anytime soon & we will be telling anyone who's thinking of going, to think again because clearly the customer is not the most important part of your business. When we paid our bill we refused to pay for the half-eaten meal & had to fully explain the whole situation again to the staff member at the till as they had no idea of what we were even talking about. Time to rethink you're approach to customer service. Not happy.
M.
Very popular had to wait a bit to get seated which was fine. Kids had pancakes which they enjoyed. Had big breakfast which I enjoyed. Staff very friendly. Recommend to all A++.

Fast lovely service. 10 out of 10 for the hashbrowns! Yum yum! Prices are up there but don't think breakfast, think about the awesome food, great service and no dishes folks! Visit when u can.
L.
Great service and not too long to wait despite being a really busy place! I had the 3 egg omelette which was delicious. It comes with hash browns which I wouldn't usually eat, but these hash browns were great.
C.
Good experience with the team at drexels beautiful food lovely locale
A.
A 5 star experience marred only by the absence of the humble baked bean. Dealing solely in breakfast food puts Drexels in an influential position in which it could reinstate baked beans to their rightful place on a breakfast plate. Sort it out Drexels! Lead the revolution!
L.
Slick friendly service, healthy servings of fresh and tasty food. Great coffee too. We went during the week and it was busy - I guess in the weekend you’d need to book. Fab operation! We’ll definitely return.
Y.
Theres no other words except Yum, Yum, Yum! Breakfast food! Absolute favourite! Generous sized meals and by generous I mean huge! Reasonably priced too. Full on American diner experience. Great service, quick and efficient. Beautiful range of breakfasts to choose from. I had the Drexel Special. Highly recommended!
C.
Drexel's is the best, can't go past a excellent American breakfast! Fast, efficient tasty food that hits the spot and fills the gap. Thoroughly recommend.
T.
Love this place. Service always good. Food fantastic
B.
Busy place but staff kept things moving along pretty well. Meals served in a reasonable time and good portions for the price. Two small points to consider. 1. A little more jam/spread/whipped butter for toast.
2. Scrambled egg served on top of hash brown = soggy hash brown.
Overall we enjoyed dining here.
P.
This place can be a hit and miss kinda deal. I really enjoyed the last time but no so much the time before. Now I am giving it 4 stars because I know it can be really good there.
Atmosphere =5 when you go with the right people.
Food =3.5 seemed to be a little over hyped.
Staff =4 obviously this one is a hard one if it is busy, they seem to suffer under pressure.
How ever they do their best to make your experience enjoyable.
Seating =3.5 with the arrangement of the seating leaves big groups and out in the walk way. Making things awkward for both staff a guest.
Thank you for reading this. Have a lovely day.
C.
Yum food, quick efficient service. Bottomless coffee and toast. My baby had an accident with a pot of tea 😬 and the wait staff were so quick to help with water ice towels etc
C.
Seriously good breakfast. There’s something on the menu for everyone and they have very quick service. Reservations are definitely required as bookings fill up so quickly.
m.
Lovely place and tasty food.
S.
Fantastic service and food haven't been in years but it still delivered fantastic food. I was very pleased with the prices too! Will be back after so long away.
M.
A favorite breakfast restaurant for myself and the family
D.
Its all about the french toast for me. Been there a few times now I have never had a bad time. Make sure you book as it can get busy, I see that as a good thing means they must be doing something right.
J.
Meals were delicious staff were great,😃reason for not 5 star is we lifted up condiment caddy and it was really disgusting underneath had been wiped around the caddy but not underneath and salt n pepper shakers were sticky.
O.
Good food the wait is sometimes a little long during busy hours but otherwise good service good menu priced well overall my girls and I had a great time catching up over some delicious hot beverages and food waffles with bacon and french toast were a hit!😊
S.
The staff are so friendly and make you feel welcome. The food is really good and satisfying. Very enjoyable.
L.
Had breakfast there on Good Friday, and the service is just the ultimate.
whoever does the staff training should be congratulated as the team are friendly and confident about their roles. As always the food is amazing and lives up to ones expectations. Great way to start a day.
A.
Food was amazing thank you. Very unhappy on where we were placed in the restaurant. We had 5 people with us and got placed at a 4 person table (at most). I was sitting half off the bench seat most of the experience trying to manoeuvre our arms when eating. It was frustrating seeing a group of 3people (come in at the same time) get seated at a 5-6person rounded bench seat up the back. More planning and coordination from staff would have made for a more pleasing experience.
Thank you for the meal, it tasted lovely.
F.
Top brekkie, kept me going all day, bacon was delish. Neat place, good service, you can see why this business has survived so long.
H.
Took our team for breakfast this morning for our Xmas gathering. Pre ordered food and it came out quick and fast and was lovely! Food was great service was great too.
A.
Drexels has always been amazing every time we go.
Great staff, great food. Smells amazing and always very clean and tidy.
We now live out of town, but make a point of trying to come to Drexels if we have time each trip
J.
Pancakes were delicious, atmosphere was nice, fast and attentive service with a good attitude. The coffee was a bit mediocre, though. Ordered a latte and the latte art was a failed heart and there was barely any foam, it was more like a flat white.
H.
Great food and service as per usual!!
H.
The food is always wonderful here
C.
We ordered pancakes and a poached eggs with bacons. Everything was really fantastic. Their pancakes were fluffy and their hollandaise sauce is awesome. I'm usually not a fan of hash brown, but theirs was nice that I almost finished the whole thing when I said I would leave it for my wife. I also appreciate the complimentary toast - I thought this was a really generous gesture. The whipped butter that came with it was top notch.
The environment is really nice too - we were there about 7:45 in the morning and while they had a few tables filled, it was still peaceful enough for a nice and slow breakfast.
Service is efficient and warm.
If I'm in Christchurch, I would be back here again.
J.
Great selection of meals and well portioned. Great place to take the family or to have a delicious start to the day. The staff are pleasent and quick to action.
J.
Never disappointing. Always so yum
C.
I think that is the best breakfast in Christchurch
k.
Amazing food and surprisingly large portions.
A.
Best place!! Service was amazing. Food was awesome. Really enjoyed it there. It gets super busy, so make sure you book ahead to avoid disappointment!!
K.
Love this place. Every time we go down to Christchurch we always try to get in there. Great meals, nice and big and taste great. Always pays to get your never ending coffee while you are there. Highly recommend.
A.
Always worth a visit, especially if you are a big fan of breakfast food regardless of the time of day. They do serve items for lunch but why come here if you don’t want to eat waffles, pancakes or French toast. A special mention has to go to their hash browns too.
Y.
Great food and service. Very good portion and food came out very promptly.
A.
Staff was so lovely and they found a table for us even when it was extremely busy and we had no reservation. Vegan options available and the pancakes are amazing!
B.
No wonder this place is also so booked out, I’ve always had consistently good service and quality food here. The burger I had was amazing so not just for breakfast. Make sure you book especially on the weekends.
P.
Average breakfast dining experience. Most items on the menu are cliché and easy to replicate at home. They need to look at what Melbourne is doing to make this place more exciting. Service is great but the queue can be long during Sunday brunch hours.
B.
This place is always packed . So plan ahead . You get the most amazing breakfast variety in that area. All their dishes what we had was made to perfection which we ordered . We had the farmers breakfast and the waffles it was delicious..
O.
Very delicious breakfast, portions were way bigger than I expected so I ordered way too much. My iced mocha didn't taste much of coffee.
B.
Lovely service and great system management, food was lovely, highly recommend the smoothies! Well priced for a lovely meal out.
T.
Good food with a wide range of options (gf and DF available on request), attentive staff and a cost, timeless atmosphere. Good for groups, or just a quiet breakfast by yourself. One of my favorite places to go!
K.
My favourite breakfast restaurant.
Plenty of carpark building space.
Great service and menu?
Highly recommend!
M.
Drexels strength is in producing a consistently high standard of food. It's hash browns are delicious and service is fast friendly and efficient. My favourite breakfast restaurant.
C.
Simple word : AWESOME
Great staff, food was amazing.
Highly recommend, will certainly be back.
J.
Good food & efficient service - staff helpful and friendly. Love taking family when visiting Christchurch. Did feel some pressure to depart as there were people waiting.
Y.
Nice food and service. French toast was light and fluffy
A.
Great value for money, always. And guaranteed to always be busy so always book! Otherwise you will find yourself sitting up at the bar, which isn't always bad because you can see the entire kitchen working on meals.
Love the bottomless filter coffee, it's not crappy, I'll happily stick with that waitresses bring around refills during your meal.
Some vegetarian options. Ways you can veganise. Some gluten free options as well.
c.
Always love it here. Yummy food. Friendly staff. Very quick service.
D.
Made a couple of visits to this place, a couple of cars parked outside before place even opened. We didn't have a reservation but were seated without any problems. Everything was done in a timely manner food was fresh, fast and full of flavour. Liked it so much I was back first thing the following morning. Parking on street or at Westfield carpark.
D.
My 1st time ever. And I loved it there. It was humming. It was constantly full of happy customers. My friend and me sat for 2 hours and watched tablefulls of people. Food was great. Atmosphere was great. You can just turn up. But you most probably will have to wait a while in the reception waiting area. But I suggest booking ahead.
A great place to start your day.
V.
I enjoyed my experience here. Food was delicious, staff were friendly. Would recommend and I would deff go back for more ❤❤
J.
Came for brunch with a few friends.
Staff were super friendly and the service was great, food was good too!
There is a little wait for the food but that's because they prepare everything from scratch.
It can get busy so if you're coming at peak times a reservation is recommended.
E.
Had been to the earlier iteration of Drexel's yonks ago in the CBD. Time moves on but this version is faithful to my (dubious..?) memory. Seated in pretty short order, food out smartly. Great presentation for what is a fast order operation, service is spot on and the place just hums along. Recommended.
T.
I really enjoyed my meal here. The service was also very good. The staff were very accommodating. Thanks for your efforts everyone. I really appreciate money well spent here for a great experience.
R.
This place is THE "BEST" go to place for a fantastic tasty breakfast, no matter what you choose! Always pre-book via phone or online. Walk-ins may be expected to wait from several mins to HOURS for a table-yes, it is THAT popular...even saw Briscoe's sales actress dining there!
C.
Worth it but remember to book as it is always busy
K.
Great breakfast, good sized servings, friendly staff.
K.
Food was ok. Service was ok.
V.
Great place for quick efficient tasty breakfast and lunch. Have been going there for many years and will continue to go. Food is beautifully done, always fresh and tasty, good pricing, and a good selection. Not a place for romantic breakfasts as quite noisy, but a good place for brekkie on the go.
I.
Excellent food and really quick service. Massive servings, great value for money
S.
If you are looking for a good simple breakfast restaurant this is your place. Great pancakes! Wait is usually ridiculous even with a booking though (45 minutes on one occasion) so don't go if you are in a hurry. Our favorite breakfast place to go with friends.
T.
Fantastic Staff Excellent meal highly recommend
H.
Great service and tasty food. They have a great menu with loads of choices. Super kid friendly which is a plus for family's.
P.
Make sure to book in. The farmers breakfast is worth the wait.
J.
Great service and excellent generous-sized meals. 4 stars only because my cappuchino was sadly under-par... yes, I should have commented but everything else was so positive I just couldn't.
K.
Its that good it pays to book a table the day before. Great food with generous servings. Their pancakes are yummo.
c.
Closest you're gonna get to a true American diner. They do it pretty good.
G.
Awesome food, great atmosphere, family friendly. Huge range of menu options.
R.
Awesome breakfast, the hostess and Karen provided a great service and was so lovely
C.
Shakes are disappointing if you expect a nice thick one. Crepes with bacon and syrup were nice. Would order that again. Service was good
G.
Always a treat to enjoy a great breakfast with colleagues. Love their guarantee of getting you your food within 5 minutes. Excellent food, as always :)
J.
Love Drexels! Great food, plenty of Gluten free options. Child friendly plenty of highchairs and colouring pages to keep kids occupied till the food comes out!
K.
Excellent service, delicious kai. Was starving when we arrived and couldnt eat all our food. Bottomless cups coffee and pot of tea. Prices on par with other breakfast places.
L.
Super impressed. Lovely food & great service but the thing that stood out the most was that all the staff, and there was heaps cos they were super busy, all seemed to really enjoy what they were doing. Never seen so many smiles in one place. Will defenitly come back next time we are in Chch. 😁
A.
Had the breakfast borrito very good. Paper straws for the environment. Eat here!
D.
One of the best places in Christchurch for breakfast. Makes sure you book.
Service is top notch, always friendly and attentive. The food is always ample and always the same great classic breakfast.
B.
Best breakfast i have had while I stayed in church yes you may have to wait for a seat though its fully worth it just go give it a try yourself
M.
Food look and tastes amazing!
G.
Great food good service manage to accommodate us even when fully booked. Good stuff guys.
R.
We had eggs benedict and it was very nice, the hash browns were home style and very nice! Great service (it reminder me of a American style restryant), the guys were very quick with the delivery of our food even though they were really busy.
J.
Cant beat this breakfast restaurant... amazing food and service always exceptional
M.
Food superb, service delightful can't wait to revisit 🌹🌹🌹 definitely 5 star rating 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
D.
if you like proper hash browns and thick fluffy pancakes this is the place to be (everything else on the menu is top notch too)
A.
If you landing in Christchurch early morning like 7am.go to this place without second thoughts.A great bf restaurant with bottomless coffee (unlimited filter coffee). Food potions are satisfying with good taste.
P.
Excellent food and service. Well worth the money. I would recommend this restaurant most highly 😋.
T.
An incredibly popular location so be sure to book early if you're looking for an early breakfast or brunch. Service was fast and friendly and comparable to most American style dinners youd fine in New Zealand.
S.
Drexels is the best breakfast you will ever have. You will order too much food and you will go into a food coma for the rest of the day, but it's worth it! Also, don't be disappointed, you need to book in advance if you want to guarantee a table. This place books up fast especially on weekends because everyone in Christchurch knows how amazing it is.
J.
Best place eva for breakfast, my very favourite restaurant.
G.
So delicious and filling
V.
Was busy but the severs was top knotch well done and beautiful food top stranded.
D.
Food was amazing bit slow on drinks as we received the tea but had to wait 5 mins for cup that also we had to remind them 2 times. Over 4 star
C.
Great place for the baby she loved the booth. Food really tasty. Lovely staff and good coffee. Looking at the kitchen also highly recommended for the small people.
H.
Awesome service. Food was awesome at a very reasonable price. The best eggs bene I’ve probably ever had (even better than the ones in Auckland). Will definitely be back!!!
H.
Great food. Very busy. Wee bit pricey
M.
Ratings out of ten.
Food: 7
Portions: 8
Cleanliness: 10
Price: 4 (quite dare for breakfast food)
Service: 10
All in all, was a bit expensive for what it was.
But service was amazing.
If it wasn't for the waitress' I would be apprahensive to go back.
But because of them I don't mind paying a few dollars more :)
H.
We always enjoy the meals here, been a few times now, sadly there coffees are on the warm side even when asked for piping hot one, in hope it would be a hot one. Otherwise it's an enjoyable place to dine😌
D.
Really cool place to go for breakfast but I'd recommend booking because it's busy at weekends. It's a little pricey but you get a lot of breakfast for what you get. Bottomless coffee, that's enough alone to get 5 stars
S.
We have always enjoyed eating here. Highly recommend
M.
Use to come here for many years and we enjoyed the service and food but seems lately they are rushing the service.....and quantity is less prices are higher....
We have been served by a lady who constantly asked us if we are ready every 2 seconds. It was irritating and didn't make us comfy and shes very unpleasant.... It used to be a place were you used to enjoy the time and food now it's more like a takeaway come in and go out!
G.
Love this place. Friendly staff and the food is really good. Not badly priced either. Highly recommended.
T.
Such a fabulous breakfast place, we have been going for years, used to be a small restaurant in town, so glad they opened a bigger one. Amazing food, no need to eat anything for the rest of the day after breakie at drexels!!
K.
Delicious Breakfast. Friendly Staff. Fast Service. Usually Crowded (For Good Reason). Good Prices. Large Portions. Cozy Atmosphere. Overall great place for breakfast :)
T.
One of my favorite places for breakfast in Christchurch. Of course, being Canadian, the 'American' style breakfast is very appealing to me.
The Drexel's special is always my preferred choice, although other options that friends and family have gotten look fantastic as well. For the pancake or waffle affecianado (is that spelled right lol) they offer REAL maple syrup for a little bit extra.
Not the first time I've been and definitely not the last time I'll go. 😊👍
K.
Always a lovely experience. Lovely staff and chefs! Beautiful food.
J.
Great food, really captures the American essence. Good choices for breakfast.
P.
My favourite breakfast place. Fairly priced and quick service. I go there whenever I have a chance. Bookings are essential and it is almost impossible to get a table with short notice.
T.
Great service here - super friendly and welcoming. This is not gourmet food, but a good solid breakfast.
A.
Very busy make sure you book ahead, but fantastic service by the wait staff, and excellent food in a timely manner by the kitchen. Highly recommended.
R.
American dinner breakfast. Food comes out fast and often is delivered in massive servings! Can get busy at times so book in advance if you want to secure a table for large groups.
S.
Food is great. Huge servings. The place is very tidy and the restaurant staff are all friendly and smart looking.
T.
Good breakfast but really great service. Book to avoid disappointment.
R.
Amazing food. Great service. I don't like how you only have 1:15 hours to eat. Otherwise amazing.
K.
Awesome freed great size
S.
Fabulous breakfasts- the best service every time - so reliable - and fun! Always love eating here 😊
C.
As usual, a great brunch for us. Everyone was full. Great value. Make sure you book, easy as pie on the website.
S.
Yummy, with great service.
B.
Bit cramped but good food
T.
Always great food. Lovely staff, and they always go the extra mile :)
L.
I used to visit their City branch almost every week after night shift to have their bottomless coffee and eggs benedict. Beautiful food and lovely service. Can be delayed when they are too busy though.
K.
Came here today with my mum and it was amazing! Definitely coming back and bringing my friends and family 😍 keep up the good work 👏
F.
Exquisite food and selection, in a warm friendly environment. Booking advisable to avoid a wait as is a popular breakfast destination. Enjoyed my visit immensely.
T.
Service pretty spot on, food always well cooked and well presented.
K.
Delicious large portions, great breakfasts. The hash browns used to be crispier, but seem to have become soggy, still pretty good, but not as good as they used to be.
P.
Been there twice now, excellent food, really really friendly staff. Nice environment to eat in.
B.
I have had breakfast at perhaps a few hundred places. Drexels today was a great full meal yet felt light on the stomach which was great not leaving with that over filled feeling.
T.
I was hoping for a really great North American-style breakfast but instead got mediocre food and insanely slow service. Forgot half my meal and asked three times. Doubt I'll be heading back any time soon.
Three stars cause food wasn't all that bad
C.
Always worth a visit when your in town. Great food and service and not over priced.
J.
Staff and good both were excellent as always. A fun place to go for breakfast, food always to a good standard and reasonable price.
D.
A very good place for special occasions like birthdays. The food is super good and the menu has a ton of options. It is very pricey but the food is worth it.
W.
Fantastic service, excellent food, and great value for money 💰
J.
Portion sizing pretty good. Great decor. Waits not too long for food.
J.
Good consistant breakfast restaurant. Probably still my favourite scrambled eggs in the city.
J.
Beautifully served hot breakfast. Friendly staff. Love coming here. Always busy. But always satisfying.
V.
Damn the food is so good . If i was about to die, i would choose this place for my last meal.
N.
Amazing as always... Look forward to next visit❤️
R.
We just had the breakfast of champions. Our waitress Mellisa was amazing, customer service as it should be. We will definitely be back!
K.
Decent American diner styled food - like an upper market Denny's
L.
Delicious place for an American style breakfast or brunch. Open until 2pm. Bookings necessary as its very busy. Next to time zone if you want to take the kids for a game after the meal. Connected to Riccarton mall so you can shop after and also utilise mall parking.
S.
This place is crazy, luckily we managed to get a seat even when we didn't make a reservation. The food is same same with all breakfast restaurants though, but the popularity made it more appealing.
A.
nice breakfast if u r looking so, busy place, better to book in advance. Tables are not wiped enough, too sticky because of syrup. 4 stars )))
M.
Best breakfast we’ve had in the South Island so far! Highly recommend the French toast. Watching the kitchen prepare everything fresh is refreshing
R.
Great food as always. Service was a bit slower than normal, but they were super busy. Huevos rancheros were superb.
K.
Drexels Breakfast Restaurant, Rotherham St, Riccarton, Christchurch 8041 Located behind Westfield Riccarton. Must be the best place in Christchurch for breakfast both the food and the service always 100% great fresh food was and delicious and very good coffee.
C.
Trusty place for breakfast. Fast and friendly service and really good value for money. I like the fancy ish diner feel too.
R.
After drinking 7 bottomless cups of coffee I could see through time. One of the only places in Christchurch that does non store bought hash browns with an egg Benny!
R.
Tried and true. You always get the same quality. Best breakfast restaurant in Christchurch
Y.
Best Breakfast restaurant in Christchurch by a mile also delightful stuff. My family goes there every year for birthdays and any other family gathering.
D.
Partner had a side of mushrooms with his meal.. For the price we paid for the mushrooms was left disappointed as there was only 5 small mushrooms. Friendly staff but the food wasn't anything to write home about.
J.
Great place for all day breakfast. We will be back.
D.
Loved it,and I will be back
J.
Best breakfast restaurant in CHCH. The food is always super tasty and there’s lots of it! The staff are great and very accommodating for the little ones aswell!
F.
went out for breakfast with some friends. the food was so delicious! i would recommend this place :)
N.
The best american style breakfast in New Zealand. Btw don't miss the coffee also at time might be very busy so booking advance will help. Christchurch vacation will not be complete if you miss this awesome place.
E.
Absalulely amazing .my wife and I have been coming here for 30 years .an still . The best Sunday brunch ever
E.
Food was pretty decent, on the pricey end. Waitresses were really nice, we were rushed to eat so they could flip our our table.
C.
Great food, good service and a nice place to relax. You can wait a while at times and this is good because you don't want to go to a restaurant where there is never a bunch of other people there!
C.
A family boxing day tradition. Great place for brunch with a crowd. Food is always good and staff is friendly.
M.
Simple done incredibly well, super friendly staff and incredibly simple yet delicious food

Very yum food, long wait though on a weekend, definitely call in and reserve in advance
V.
Amazing breakfast, great eggs and bacon with the best hash brown. Awesome children's menu and friendly and quick service

s.
Was too busy for me and noisy but the food and service was good.

Love this place, although be prepared for a bit of a wait if you haven't made a booking, portion sizing is reasonable & they have a wide variety of options if you are GF or DF just tell the wait staff & they cater for that.
A.
Man, this place is so astonishing!! The food is good and you can get good deal, also there is no way you get out without feeling full!! Big portions!!

C.
Great service, delicious food, family friendly. Thank you team :-)
L.
Table booked well in advance, but we were squeezed into a booth way to small for our group. Food and service were good.
S.
Absolutely delicious breakfast and so many breakfast items to choose from!
S.
Best breakfast in Christchurch. For anyone from the UK or from US in need of a big breakfast other than any eggs on toast combo, should come here. Can be congested on weekends but you can park for free there as its part of the westfield shopping centre
K.
Drexels is probably the best breakfast restaurant in Christchurch. Been around for a long time. Very very good service and food
C.
Yum,yum the pan cakes where the best I've had in ages

T.
Lovely attentive service
M.
Had a fun time. The customer service was excellent. Phew big pancakes.
P.
Delicious food, huge portions, great coffee, excellent service. Will be back.
J.
The food is good but it's always fully booked, have to get in quick otherwise they turn you away... I think they should stay open later, they could be earning a lot more money by staying open later than 2pm.
R.
Probably the most consistent breakfast restaurant in Christchurch - Never been disappointed.
D.
Awesome food, comfortable seating, great menu options. Great options for the kids on the kids menu. Love the bottomless cups of coffee.
T.
Having breakfast - hubby's treat. Excellent meal, fabulous staff and great service. VERY full tum. Will definitely come again.
s.

Great place. Very fast friendly service. Great selection and very good value. Highly recommend.
S.
Good service, friendly, helpful, staff.I had a bottomless cup of coffee, nice coffee and true to their word they filled it happily when ever I gave them a sign.
T.
Not big deal, the place is crowded, so, forget casual go.
The food isn't surprising and price is fair.
Bit difficult to find a parking spot because it is on a big shopping mall.
B.
Thinking about the next visit
Looking forward to more delicious
Food
B.
Good family environment and serves good food - all day breakfast 🍳 and bottomless coffee!
Booking is essential.. Feels like being rushed while having my breakfast.... 😵
J.
Never disappointed when dining at Drexel’s. Fast and friendly service. Food is always amazing.
