Really good value for money. Shared some nachos and pork belly bites that were absolutely delicious. Great service and our food came super fast too.

S. E. (.

❤️ LOVE ❤️ GREAT staff. Super friendly and helpful. Beer selection is awesome. So many different kinds to try. The selection tray thing is great value. Food is very tasty & once again the selection is mind boggling. We LOVE the stone grill meats meals. Couple of beerzies, great food, wonderfull people & amazingly beautiful views right on the Paihia waterfront. We come almost every week now. It’s our guilty PLEASURE 😎👍

M. S.

Beautiful food goes with the beautiful views and service that matches. Great indoor, outdoor flow. My family and I loved it. Thank you.

Very nice as always! Food were delicious! Staffs were kind! We always go when we are in Paihia.

Goodness gracious me! We LOVED our time here. Amazing staff, amazing food and amazing location. Our highlight was our waiter; we didnt get his name but he was just hilarious, fun and friendly. Please give that guy a raise! We will come back 😁😁

L. M.

Lovely place to have a meal, great menu, great service, despite being busy the staff were attentive and friendly. Food was yummy. Love the outside area.

B. M.

Traveling on a business trip, I'd actually been recommended this place by some locals as I was searching for a place to eat. These guys are genuinely kind, and have some of the greatest customer service I've come across. The owner is outstanding in running her business, and the overall vibe of this place was great! I highly recommend!

Fantastic service and delicious meals! We really enjoyed ourselves because of where we were, the way we were treated and the speed and the experience of using the stone grill ✅ Will be back!

Absolutely fantastic! The service was AMAZING! The food was SUBLIME! We went there for breakfast and dinner as it's the best place in Paihia. Shoutout to Kawati and Patience, great staff. Highly, highly recommend.

L. S.

Great place to eat, food good choice garlic prawns mmmwhaa be back again. Choc fondue out of this world. Staff great Service.

L. E.

This place had really interesting food options, the food was quite good with a great location overtop of the water. Service was quick and friendly. We had a lot of fun trying out new foods and using the rock grill.

B. v. d. H.

Crunchy calamari, with a delicious dip... The chicken Karaage burger was disappointingly dry and devoid of sauce... Service was excellent. Beers, cold and tasty.

M. S.

Great location, great food & beer matched with excellent service. Both the chicken & beef burgers were well enjoyed

R. J.

Nice place with view over Bay of Islands. Good beer. Good price. I had the Cheese Burger Nachos. Wife had the chicken burger. American sized portions. APA beer is very good. The Nickel and Dime dark is good , similar to Monteith's Black.. Staff were great..You will not leave hungry !

N. A.

Good food, and very friendly staff

T. w.

I had a superb mussel meal in a white wine garlic sauce with a yummy bread the young gentleman who served us was bubbly friendly and polite I won't hesitate to go back

Absolutely enjoyed my downtime with a beautiful view ✨✨ The ‘5 plus a day’ burger was tasty! The flavours were delicious! I loved the branding on the bun, so cool 👌 The patty was yummy, succulent and delicious! Compliments to the cook!! Staff was relaxed, I enjoyed the tunes, was literally bopping 😊 I will certainly pop in again.

Great Restaurant on the Paihia Wharf area, great views and a great atmosphere. We went and had dinner there, I had a Medium Rare Steak with all the trimmings - Steak cooked to perfection as it was a thick chunky piece of Meat. My partner had the Pork Belly with chips and a salad which was very tender. Both meals were excellent as we're our Cold Drinks we had. The portions of the food were big. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The whole ambiance of the Restaurant is great. Was extremely busy while we were there. Will definitely be going back in the future. We will highly recommend it to all future customers, lots of car parking in the area. Come and support local.

A. M.

Great food and view if you sit by the water. Didn't get chance to try the decent range of craft beers unfortunately but worth a look if you like good pub food and drinks. Reasonably priced and friendly staff too.

A. H.

Nice enough place. Friendly staff. Good george beer was good and cold. We ordered 2 burgers and 3 kids chicken and chips. The chicken was so spicy is was practically inedible. Seriously! Even for adult palates. The burgers weren't great either to be honest.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere and location. Tasty food and wide range of beers and wines.

R. K.

Absolutely amazing food, so delicious! Best burger in the area, and the stone chicken was superb! Great selection of drinks, too.

The food was tasty lovely staff Reccomend anybody to go there

Beautiful food, great service, fantastic views. Recommended.

B. K.

Little bit expensive but the taste of the food and the view makes up for it

M. D.

This restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere with lots of soft lights. The outside area was quite nice to be in, with the heaters running to keep us warm. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. You could smell the delicious food throughout the restaurant which added to the overall experience.

loved the food and the staff was awesome. My 60th Brunch

Loved the food here. Very yummy and fresh. Will definitely eat here when back in Paihia

E. S.

Great place for breakfast with stunning views over the water.

N. H.

Great selection in the menu, two of us had the cheeseburgers and one lemongrass chicken burger. Very substantial, would have preferred a stronger lemongrass flavour as was subtle but the chicken and bacon bites we had at the start were very flavoursome. Polished off with a couple sundaes and the cookie which went down a treat! I had a tasting panel of two beers too which was from a great selection of Good George and other craft beers.

A. D.

Breakfast was great!! We had the chicken and waffles and it was yum :)

K. S.

Location is perfect. I loved the sea food chauder but squid should have fried bit more. All over it was good.

О. Л.

Very tasty. Good staff. Nice place

V. S.

Great meals, great service and ambience. Staff were very helpful and it was reasonably priced.

B. T.

We had a group of about 25 for a birthday. The food was delicious and the service was awesome. The staff were very patient and our food came out pretty quickly after ordering. Would highly recommend Cbk.

M. M.

Nice location, good bar, but the food is disappointing. Maybe it was just what we ordered, but our impression was that most of the food is deep fried and seriously lacking in flavour. There are definitely better places to enjoy a tasty meal in Paihia!

very dry chicken for a few meals. one of mocktail was just like orange juice. ordinarily craft beer.

Great value and very tasty food in a wonderful setting on the wharf

R. V. P.

Great food at reasonable prices, the views and atmosphere are a bonus 👍

Great venue with Harbour views. You get to see helicopters come and go regularly. The food is delicious.

C. M. P.

Very nice dinner variety. The nachos are highly recommended. Although could have more mince in the nachos . Burgers are very good value for money. Definitely would go there again. Gluten free options are available.

S. R.

Awesome food, great location, good service and friendly staff... highly recommend

R. T.

Had an amazing dinner lastnight the service was awesome very helpful and very patient as we had a group of 27 celebrating a 21st the dinner menu was spot on and served up pretty fast so thank you too the Bar staff to the waiters and to the chef's for an excellent experience at CBK. Highly recommended

lovely meal, great atmosphere .

L. L. o. F.

Had a lovely meal. We have a 15 month old and 5 year old so speed of service/meals is important to us. We arrived at 5.15pm and meals ordered and were out within 20 minutes. The service was friendly even when I appeared demanding (though not intentional, merely trying to save other diners from a disruptive experience) the food was great. I read a few bad reviews and was glad I ignored them, because I’m not a complainer and often a few bad reviews are just a reflection of bad customers. Highly recommend for families.

Food nice, friendly service, one of the better eateries in Paihia.👍

Coffee 5, food, 4, service 5, Beautiful setting to relax and watch the waves and sealife pass you bye.

M. P.

I was totally blown away with the owner coming to pick me up from my hotel... Immediately I then decided to eat not just drink. I had the stone grill with mussels.... Unbelievable enjoyed every mouthful Great range of craft beets and wines. The young server was also excellent, especially when you realize these people don't have to rely on tips, but I'm sure they appreciate them A MUST do in Paihia. I'll be back

B. M.

Yummy steak. Not so sure about prawns. ended up being shrimps on one wooden skewer. Both self cooked on heated stone. Nice touch for the novelty. Maybe expected more for the price. Sea food chowder was nice. Sorry forgot to take photo.

Food was awesome, every one at our table loved their meals. The only reason why I’m not giving 5 stars is the selection of craft beers on tab...they only had Good George (Sidecar is owned by Good George). No local beers and the bottled selection was average too. If craft beer is in the name of your establishment you need to do better than this.

M. B.

Loved the cider cocktails, the food and the service! Thanks.

The food was so yummy 😋 I'm a big fan of the stone grill! However, I was a little disappointed that we had to set out our own plates, cutlery etc, and pour out own wine.... Maybe it's a new rule due to Covid restrictions? Hopefully it won't be like that next time I we go. 😁😊

J. B.

This was the 4th time we visited and it is still a nice place to grab a beer and meal. Well priced, great friendly service and great selection of beers, wines and spirits too. Nice views across to Russell, enjoy watching the world go by.

T. W.

Glad I decided to pop in. Their meals you cook on a hot stone are tasty. I'll be back.

T. P.

Good but it depends on what you order. Super Salad was good, burgers look mean. And Good George Beer you can't go wrong. The cauliflower bites weren't too good as was the Slaw

J. L.

Lovely location. Pancakes were very good.

V. W.

Such a cozy and beautiful place. The view was amazing even in a cloudy day, the food great, the service the best. Kura (hope I spelled her name right) was amazing, a smile in her face, so friendly, answered all our questions, made us feel like friends no just guest!

F. W.

Good beer and even better food. We had nanchoes, pasta and CBK salad. Would recommend all three.

Great food with a fantastic menu and brilliant range of beers

Great dinner, fantastic view, exceptional service, I'll be back

S. W.

We arrived just as kitchen was closing but they kindly seated us and we were promptly served. The food was absolutely amazing and full of flavours! Deep fried cauliflower was the best thing ever! The service was outstanding, so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend eating here thank you!😊

A. T.

Awesome food and even better service! Hands down one of the most tender steaks I've had!!! Food was out in a matter of 15 minutes at a busy time, and the waiter (Mark the legend) was very accommodating 😊 good booze, good food and good atmosphere!

S. M.

Nice venue, we had a table overlooking the water which was nice. The food was okay, but a really good selection on offer.. the Caramel mocha "adult" milkshake with kahlua etc in was AMAZING. Unfortunately the girl serving us was either having a really bad day, or in the wrong job.. she was unnecessarily rude and seemed to lack any people or service skills. Luckilly I decided to call over a young man from another table who was really great and wish we'd had him from the start. I don't always leave a tip, but Harry deserved it!

S. D.

Great service, varied menu and AMAZING views.

Wow so delicious. Great final of the adventurous day in bay of islands!

L. B.

The food was great, had ahuge CBK burger meal. KIDS burger is awesome size too. Nachos has a huge serving and tasty as! Cookie and ice cream dessert is perfect to finish off with. Tasted the rib eye steak, perfectly cooked! Nice size garlic bread loaf. Really good food for good price!!

Great service. Good food and beer.

Great bar and restaurant. Located adjacent to the helicopter pad and situated on the waters edge.

T. H.

Stopped in for a quick beer before catching the ferry to Russell. Friendly staff, good service. And a lovely spot on the terrace for watching the helicopter tours flying in and out of Paihia!

C. K.

Probably one of the best places to eat in New Zealand. Wish they had a branch in Auckland

Really enjoyed our dinner tonight. Generous portions and lovely and fresh. Service was great too and excellent value for money.

Yummy lunch menu and awesome service. "Oii!!!"

G. B.

Excellent food and a great atmosphere. Huge portions and really good quality tasty food. Burgers are excellent, both the chicken and beef burgers - in fact one of the best chicken burgers we've tasted in New Zealand.

K. K.

Nice view, nice staff, nice food! Overall a great stop to get lunch or dinner. The stone grills are especially nice and reminded me of French pierrade.

M. A.

my wife loves this place and i enjoy it as well food is nice honest and yummy not too bad prices but the portions are HUGE awsome staff a very good experience every time we go

Awesome place for a family 50th Birthday dinner sorted fantastic meals for 20 of us seamlessly. Excellent food and service I would highly recommend

S. B.

Enjoyed a great meal here. Views are absolutely stunning. Quick service, nice bathrooms. Food was good, came quickly. We got the stone grill which was tasty, though the meat was unseasoned. The skillet cookie was a nice treat.

M. C.

Man! Good food, good service and GOOD portion sizes. You'll not leave here hungry. We'll done to the whole team. Well worth a visit again, and again, and again ....

Good location, good beer and pub food

Great view and fantastic meal

M. W.

Went her for drinks only. Staff was friendly and facilities were clean. Too selection of Craft beers in general as to be expected. On tap beers from Good George mostly, but wide selection. The outdoor seating has a nice view of the harbor. Only downside were some unwiped tables. Maybe that was a one off, as it looked like they were preparing for bigger groups to come in, judging from the reservation signs they were putting up. Would recommend, but can't speak to the food.

t. k.

Wow. Stunning views with breakfast this morning. Food was excellent and coffee was great. The staff were easy to deal with. It was a bonus having the helicopter take off while I was eating my eggs benny. See you again soon

I. M.

Would definitely recommend. Always go here when in Paihia. Great customer service and friendly staff. Tasty big meals at a great price

Great staff, swift service & Yum!

J. Y.

Ill be frank. Its a prime positioned place. So it must be run good. But. The windows are a failure. The best view is blocked by the window frames which are at eye level when you sit down. And the steak was pretty normal for such hype. Also it doesnt mention on the menu certain meals you cook yourself. Who comes to a restaurant to cook their own meal. Also we did order a steak meal. It was average but it didnt come with oil. I needed to ask for it which isnt a big deal but yea. Also i didnt have lemons for the fish and chips.I drove far and needed a reset. Otherwise. Nearly perfect on my visit.

C. B.

Evening meal on our first day near Paihai. We were absolutely shattered after three days of travelling to get to New Zealand and drive up from Auckland Airport. We were determine to have a great meal before retiring for the day. The bar was very busy and the staff grated us when we walked in, informing us there was a 30 wait on food orders. After being seated we were provided with a jug of fresh chilled water and menus. Very good selection menu choices, we had a large seafood chowder and fish and chips. The food was tasty and the fish potion generous in size. The fresh granary bread with the excellent chowder is recommended. I also enjoyed a nice iced tea. If it wasn't for the fact I want to try as many different restaurants, I would definitely be back to try more from the menue.

Beatifull place. Great people, excellent food and very well served. Best place around.

The service is friendly but a little on the slow side. Along with slight mix ups i.e. ordered a side of hashbrowns which were forgotten. The food is ok. The tables a little sticky - hence the 3 and not a 4?

Great Saturday morning atmosphere; great coffee and friendly service

D. V.

Been to the CBK in Rotorua a number of times, so it was a easy choice for dinner, was not disappointed. Was a group of 5 and picked various dishes off the menu, vegetarian & craft burger, fish and chips also a steak. Food was fantastic and very one enjoyed their meals. Great service as expected, sat and talked for quite a while and was checked on if we wanted anything else.

w. p.

Wonderful staff, prompt service, delicious steaks, chowder, lobster tail(this was a bit small), skillet cookie, eton mess great desserts.

J. B.

Bloody amazing food, portions are epic and service was friendly and on point. Would definitely eat here again and look forward to the next time.

M. N.

Great service. So packed when we came for dinner. Large servings. Nice and clean place. Very accommodating considering we didn't reserve a table.

Great food, fast and friendly service with wonderful views. Definitely reccomend.

Excellent and friendly service, good value for money and large portions. Do yourself a favor and have a meal here

J. B.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The food was great. You cook the steak how you want it. Awesome.

Great lunch, the lamb was cooked perfectly by me!

p. r.

Surprisingly good food with heaps of beer! The staff was super engaging and friendly. The decor was nice rustic over the water without plastic. We had 3 different meals with appetizers. Oysters fresh. Popcorn cauliflower tasty. Steak beautiful and on a hot stone to cook one's self. Seaford chowder very good, as rated by me a guy from New England, and a tasty piece of smoked salmon. Dessert a nice cookie in a skillet.

C. R.

Came here for dinner last night and breakfast this morning. Excellent food, amazing Kiwi service and the perfect location to check out Paihia afterwards. Ignore other reviews that say Paihia is overpriced - it isn't, at all. It's small but has everything you need for a relaxing break away from the city madness. While you're in Paihia, definitely put CBK on your list of places to eat and chill out.

S. P.

I reside locally and thoroughly enjoy going down there. The staff are very friendly and attentive and all seem happy to be at work, which is usually a good reflection of how the owners treat them. I love this place. Thank you guys for making this a happy place to eat, drink, and relax.

Awesome eye fillet stone grill steak.

J. E.

This place is the best spot in paihia for breaky food is amazing and the coffee is epic plus the staff were all friendly and helpful and came back to check everything was ok two times! I would definitely recommend it, my partner and I came two days in a row because it was such a great experience, I travel across Nz for work and would put this place in the top 5 cafés easily that I've found.

The scrambled eggs with feta and chives was excellent

S. P.

I love kicking back at CBK! The food is delicious, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the choices for drinks are inexhaustible! This is a must for anyone visiting Paihia.

Very yummy food and cider

Was there for my birthday dinner with my wife and kids . Absolutely faultless

Great location and menu. Had an enjoyable meal.

R. G.

Pretty well done TBH. Nice tap beer. Great food selections, good staff, great location and fair pricing. Would deff go again.

E. D.

Worth going again! Beautiful location overlooking the bay. Unfortunately they forgot our outdoor booking but managed to accommodate us well. We ate from the 'street food' part of the menu, which was delicious for sharing

H. G.

We have spent 5 days in paihia/kerkeri and Russell. CBK paihia by far is the best restaurant in the region. Fabulous food and service. Highly recommend. Iti and Amy are fantastic at what they do. Dont pass them by

C. R.

Great menu. Mix of staff abilities but cheerful and helpful. Good menu at good prices

R. K.

Great food and service. We went there for lunch and breakfast both times was great.

Great steak! Garlic bread is a must try also. Generous serving size and tastes great

D. M.

My family and I have been here a few times. They provide excellent menu items and service. My main issue with restaurants is slow drink service, but at CBK you can order a jug of beer and serve yourself. Well recommended.

C. B.

Great atmosphere. Variety of dishes to choose from. Huge portions. Perfect Caesar salad and the best seafood chowder I have had in a long time.

Staff were really nice, however I didn't rate the food completely.

O. H.

Absolutely hands down the best food we ate in Paihia, we would drive 4.5hours for this food again. Best breakfast outing we have ever had, lovely staff. Their entire menu looks delicious. We will 1000% be back, wish their was 6 stars for review

Been there for breakfast a couple of times, very nice food and staff a friendly and professional.

C. H.

Beautiful place with stunning views. Best sit away from the helicopter end if you are outside though as it can get noisy and smelly. Food was tasty and well presented, staff were really friendly. Would happily recommend.

G. A.

Great location... beautiful views of Bay of Islands from the waterfront restaurant.. lovely friendly service... interesting cocktails..food decent

Recommended by a mate from salt air, and did not disappoint. one of the best breakfasts i have had in a while. Good food, good coffee, good portion and really good staff. Can’t fault.

We really enjoyed ourselves. Food was great and the staff were very friendly

A. C.

Good food. Great staff. Lovely location

S. C.

Had a fantastic meal here - good beer, good food and excellent service. A great place to stop by when visiting Paihia! Great location next to the wharf

T. S.

When you first walk in it looks like a local bar, and then you glance up and look at the chalkboard and you realize this is a pretty cool place - there are so many IPA beers, coders from apple pear to local New Zealand wines. The evening that we were there was quite stormy with a few breaks in the rain, we opted to sit outside in the covered deck area to watch the storm. It was warm enough out there even without heaters, I had fish and chips which were my first fish and chips in New Zealand and I was pleasantly surprised at the very light batter on the fish and chips. My dining partner had the grill it your self beef on a hot stone. Which when I first heard about the dish I thought it was pretty lame as we were on vacation that we had to cook our own meat. It literally was the best cut of beef that we had on our whole trip in New Zealand. I highly recommend that dish, I wish I would have ordered it myself.

Would have got 5 stars if the service was not rubbish. Food was good. Prepare for tourist prices.

Nice food. Friendly staff. Good local beer selection.

Lovely food plenty of staff for the busy weekend. Meals didn't take very long either

Legendary service from the staff today! True effort on their part. The dishes were loaded to perfection. Great way to end a day of driving!

Fish & chip meal superb. CBK chicken wrapped in bacon yummy also. Great value for money.

Great beer selections, very friendly staff and a hell of a location. Was just a quick stop off, would have loved to have stayed longer

Awesome restaurant, food was yummy, had our nieces 21st there, great night, staff were great

Great spot right on the water, really friendly and accommodating staff - made us up a table for 5 even when really busy and excellent service all evening. Stone grill steaks are delish!

Great food, great service, great location. Definitely recommended to all!

The venue was great, staff were amazing just a pity the meals didn't meet the standards set out in their advertising. Parking not great either.

Good tasty coffee - would highly highly recommend. Sat out on th deck - covered with great views out to sea. Would highly recommend!!!

Very enjoyable meal and staff were very personable and efficient. Views over The Bay of Islands were fantastic.

Excellent food, beer and service at reasonable prices.

Located with views over the harbor with outside and inside seating, and adjacent to tourist booking facilities this offers s reasonably priced range of food an drinks. It has a great atmosphere with great coffee food and service.

Great location, excellent staff. Would highly reccomend visiting

Good restaurant, went for breakfast and liked the fact you could build your own breakfast from parts, combining, eggs, grilled tomatoes, toast, mushrooms, etc. My poached eggs were over cooked with no runny yoke, which was disappointing, but the big breakfast my son had was said to be perfect. Venue is very nice with sea views.

Had an amazing dinner here on a Saturday night. Our server Dray was outstanding and really helped us make the most of the menu. Fantastic chicken starter, lovely medium rare steak, and all the trimmings. Highly recommend visiting for a very enjoyable night.

Simply amazing meal. This is the best place to eat. Way way more than pub food, but yes beautiful craft beer. My husband had smoked braised pork belly.. Fantastic. But i asked and was allowed to order of the breakfast menu. Humble lambs fry, elevated in flavour that would easily be served in any top restaurant ~the food is so good and the portion sizes are very generous. And i havent mentioned the wait staff. Service is 10/10.

Service took to long. We had to get grab our own menus from the bar and order while other table were waited on expect ours.

Busy place. Very efficient lady doing everything on her own. Fantastic.

Nachos just needed fresh salsa and avocado to break cheesy cheese. But food is fabulous 😋

Sea food chowder was great and eye fillet outstanding. Highly recommended

Friendly staff, great service, a lovely view and delicious food. A must do.

Lots of choices and himself loved the chowder. So 5 star seafood chowder!!

Lovely food at a good price

Meals are delicious, large servings and reasonably priced. Staff are friendly. Atmosphere is bustling with a beautiful outlook. Central location.

Delicious steak but cookie took a while to come out

Great view. Had the CDK salad. Great choice. Nice staff.

1st time here and it was fab! They made an excellent Chai latte and hot chops were perfect for our snack!

Love the service..the grill stone ribeye was awesome

The wait for our food was excessive, well over 30 mins, had to ask at the bar to check they hadn't forgotten us. The beer I had was tasty, Good George Fizzy Ale. We ordered salads as mains for lunch which I felt were either small or over priced ($23). The pear & walnut salad had only 4 wafer thin slices of pear. On the positive side, the location is lovely and the food was really enjoyable. And friendly service.

Yummy food. Quick service. Lovely servers. Went for dinner and breakfast.

Lovely meal with the family before heading home to Kerikeri after a day at Russell.

A lovely place to have dinner at. Lovely food and a great athmosphare.

Brilliant food, and great customer service, also the skillet cookie is a must have.

We only went for beer and we were not disappointed. Yummy.

Great views- got to see the helicopter take off, fish, either a dolphin or shark jump out of the water and a stingray. Food came out quick, desserts were delicious

Considering there was 16 of us that rocked up for a pre-wedding-day, boys dinner. CBK were very accommodating. Drinks were served and dinner came in a timely manner. We all walked out pretty happy. So you get 5 stars.

Beautiful place for eating and drinking with very kind and beautiful staff.

Really good food and generous helpings

Great food. Amazing spot.

Great location. Good beer, but very noisy.

Great views, yummy breakfast

Nice meals and pleasant atmosphere

Sat outside on a windy day, it was cold. Doors unable to be closed because it is a public walkway. Inside was also cold as their doors in there were also open to the wind. $14.95 for fish n chips a bit overpriced for what you get, and they were greasy. Seafood chowder was nice. We went elsewhere for coffee because it was so cold!

Great staff good food

What great staff . Accomadatin picked 15 of us up from top ten and keeped us entertained and dropped us back off . Kudos

Awesome new place; try the craft burger. They've really nailed that recipe!

Great food with an awesome variety of beers. Great location and friendly staff.

It was a Super Lunch for the family & over looking to some beautiful picture frame water

Large portions, definitely worth the price, great friendly service

Great bar and restaurant on the wharf overlooking the pier and bay.

Went for dinner and was very satisfied over all. Staff were friendly,very accomadating and gave very good service. The meals and drinks arrived promptly. Not a beer drinker but the selection of ciders was very good and well priced. Meals were very generous sized .i had fish and chips which was tasty but just a tad greasy on the fish .I'm a slow eater so could have had something to do with it as well. Daughter had lamb salad which she thought was ok but could have had better dressing. Seemed to have plenty of lamb though and the piece i had was very tender and i thought very good. For dessert we shared the skillet cookie which was different and a nice dessert to finish with. There are great views from the verandah and the lighting inside and out is very funky and makes for a great atmosphere. The staff seem mostly travelers but seemed happy to make the visit as good as possible. Overall experience was very good and enjoyable. Would be nice to just sit on the balcony and watch the sun drop over a drink as well. 8/10

Best food in Paihia!

We had a super friendly waiter (thanks again Dre!) and the food was delicious! Also it was so stuffing, we couldn't finish it - to be honest, we had a starter (Bao Buns, highly recommended!) and a burger, way to much for us. Yes, the food did take long (starter was at our table fast, then it took another 30mins) but we knew it from the other comments so we were fine. All in all the best food we had so far. Oh and the Ginger and Lime Cider was tasty too!

I had two times meat (beef & lamb) on the Stone grill. Just perfect - and fun, as you grill the meat, as You like it. Very recommandable. The serfice is very friendly and the restaurant /bar very cosy- with a stunning view into the harbour /Islands.

Three days in Paihia, had two dinners here at CBK great beer and good meals, thoroughly recommend it.

Very good beer place

L. L.

Stone grilled beef n clam chowder were nice. The calamari was tender. Servers were pleasant.

Good food and service

Couldn't even eat half of the CBK burger, I'm guessing my eyes was hungry lol.

Lovely decor and setting and helpful service.

Beer is good. Food is good. Paihia priced

Stunning location and devine food and reasonable priced

Great food and IPA by the jug.

The Best food in Paihia great selection and service.

Yummy salads good service

Excellent coffee and good meals. Missed the lambs fry but back for breakfast another day!

Great staff and view and fab breakfast!

We had family friends from overseas and were that typical annoying table. 'no tomato' 'gluten free' etc etc. They handled us superbly and could engage in some light humour. The burgers were huge and delicious. My only suggestion is for the alcoholic milkshakes, to be listed under cocktails or alike. As we were expecting a larger quantity of beverage, not to be served in a cocktail glass. But honestly no big deal as they didn't disappoint. It's a very nice venue and honestly recommended to give it a go!

Peanut butter cookie with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream is the best!

Coctails and beer Ok. Best on waterfront

Great place to grab a beer and eat very good meat.

Delicious food, not bad service and nice wine.

This is our go to for lunch with a view, never disappoints.

Nice Ambience, warm with good service.

Great food great service great value and a great Vista.

Beautiful venue on the waterfront at Paihia. A nice lunch with great staff

Tasty seafood chowder at waterfront location

A great selection of beers and a brilliant view too

Nice spot for couple beers staff very friendly

Magnificent location and pleasant walk.

Just had a perfect mochachino, thank you.

Great views over bay and excellent food/service

The lamb duo Stone grill was awesome

We chose this restaurant because I have Coeliacs and they had several items on their stone grill menu marked as GF. I discussed GF aspects in detail with the waiter before ordering, however 5 minutes after starting my meal the waiter came out and asked me to stop eating because they didnt know if some of the ingredients were gluten free. So full marks for coming and informing me, however the damage was probably already done. No restaurant show label a menu item as gluten free unless they are 100% confident that all ingredients are GF. Very dissappointing. Apart that food and atmosphere was great.

Great bar and restaurant on the wharf overlooking the pier and bay.

The food and services was very good.

Awesome new place; try the craft burger. They've really nailed that recipe!

Excellent coffee and good meals. Missed the lambs fry but back for breakfast another day!
