Reviews of Cobb & Co. Taupo

M. L.

Fantastic service from Ranger who is probably the most polite waitress I have ever met. I see a 5 star dining future for her. We had the very delicious Traffic Jam, an adult version of the traffic light drink I enjoyed as a kid. The menu looks great and I didn’t realise they service Angus beef steaks and burgers. We will be back for a meal

J. C.

Who knew you could taste nostalgia? Great fun at at a childhood favourite not visited in 30 odd years. Fantastic staff and service also who knew how to play the nostalgia game and contribute to the overall experience.

T. J.

Thank you to Peter and the team for the best birthday dinner ever and for making the birthday girl and her birthday feel so special. Perfect customer service from Richmond who was an awesome and friendly host and for bringing out a little birthday cake which made it even nore perfect !! The food was also great, tasted so yummy and the mushroom sauce was to die for. Even though we just booked on the night they took us in and they were still very accomodating to me and our group. Thank you again for the great night guys !!

Came for a family dinner with two kids. All the staff and manager were super friendly and helpful. The food was fast to arrive and perfectly cooked. Couldn’t fault them at all. Also had a great range of drinks even had craft beer on tap. Hope you guys keep it up, hopefully we’ll see a Cob & Co in Auckland some time :)

D. C.

Decided to treat the children to a meal for the last night of our holiday. The lamb rump and veg was delicious, yummy!! However, my daughter's fish tasted rotten. t wasn't the type of fish like the staff member tried to tell me. But anyway, apart from that the atmosphere was good, quiet and next time we're in Taupō we'll be coming back. Oh and the children's mocktails were so neat, a nice touch to their meal. Cute puddings, good serving size.

A. M.

Great service, had a few laughs with the awesome staff. I had the haloumi burger and she had the blt. Yum yum. Never been to cobb n Co before (weird I know) good first experience

G. L.

Upon entering, Peter said "welcome back to Cobb n Co". I have never been before but he made me feel right at home, food came out in record time without a hitch, friendly staff, good ambience. Well done Peter and the team! Made our engagement/anniversary dinner that much nicer. Thank you again.

D. C.

Loved it here staff so friendly and very accommodating to our family needs and couldn't fault them even had to go back back a 2nd nite for tea I'd highly recommend

C.

Food was good. Kids were happy with their drinks and desserts. There was a kids corner which had toys and games that our kids enjoyed. This is family friendly restaurant that I would recommend to every family going through taupo.

m. h.

Great family restaurant with strong nostalgia for the grown-ups. The Cobb and co format always worked really well for families looking for something nice, great to see it back after these years. The kids love everything about it and my wife and I enjoyed a stress-free lunch. Will 100% go back next time we are in Taupo

R. M.

It was ok, quite expensive for what you get. Would have been nice if we had been given plates with the bread. The fish was nice but the chips tasted like they had been sitting around under lights for quite a few hours and there was no follow up service after the mains were served. Oh and it's probably not such a good idea to ask people if they are seniors.

K. M.

Had a nice meal here. Super speedy in the entrees, a little slower on the mains, but not too long. Food was ok. Quantity was good, but a little on the bland side for me. Kids meals and deserts were good and the kids were occupied with some colouring in til the food came. Staff were friendly and attentive.

J. C.

Service was good My wife's steak was the smallest we've seen from a restaurant Creamy mushrooms side were yuck But the mushroom sauce with the steak meal was better. My roast pork meal was a small portion for nearly $28. Overall all meals were eatable but we left unsatisfied with the cost especially.

P. D.

A fantastic nolstegic trip to share with your friends, family, and children. The first familer thing that gets you is the dark wood booth decor. The next is the simple but all the favorites menu. Even the kids menu looked exciting in a nolstegic way. If you are into steaks, this is the place for you, but there are other exciting things on the menu. Even vegetarian and gluten free options. The staff are amazing, they are quick and efficient, and very helpful. Within 5 mins of ordering, the kids had their Cobb puffs and Traffic Light drinks, and within 10 mins they had their meal. The staff know kids don't like waiting. We waited a further 10 minutes and we were eating mains. Excellent work Everyone. The dinner was perfectly executed, including the medium rare 500g scotch fillet and the Chicken Alexandra was well cooked but not dry. The Sarah was an excellent accomplement to the steak, while the kids loved the iconic Traffic Lights. Deserts were again all very familer, but done to modern standards. The lemon tarts is very tangy and must have been freshly made as it was warm rather than usually ice cold. The Triple Chocolate Cheesecake with berry sauce was sublime. Overall it was a plesent evening, done to perfection, as it should be when you are restarting an Kiwi icon. This is indeed a way to ensure the next generation of kiwis get fond memories of going to Cobb n Co.

L.

Food was nice but the service was fairly slow considering the lack of patrons in the restaurant at the time. We had to ask for table to be cleared, and for one kids icecream to be served, and still waited another 20min before it arrived.

R. C.

Had a lovely meal.staff were really friendly. I noticed if it was your birthday you could receive some deal.so I asked about it,as it was my birthday and was told we needed four people to attend but they brought me out this lovely cake and singing me happy birthday which was so lovely and yes exciting. The steak was cooked too perfection. So nice to go out and get what you ordered. I will be back when I'm in taupo again.

P. K.

We had a table of twelve for Sunday lunch, without booking ahead. We just walked in off the street. The staff seated us reasonably quickly, took our orders and got our food out at a good speed. They were friendly and helpful, providing a good effective service. The food was nice without being particularly flashy. The chips were warm, they would have been better hot. The decor was classic Cobb & Co; a bit dark and heavy with lots of interesting spaces inside. The outdoor area looked nice. There is a play area, with x-boxes and toys, for kids.

R. N.

Awesome as usual. Taupo Cobb and Co. Never lets us down. Fast efficient clean tidy and value for money..staff were awesome 10/10 thank you 😊

B. M.

The service was excellent, Steak was excellent, salad was excellent, even the chips were excellent! What wasn't excellent was 2 pieces of cheesy garlic bread for $9.90. Ridiculous

P. P.

Not my first choice of steak house in Taupo. The service was good and the meals were prepared rather quickly, however the food was just not up to scratch for the premium prices. My salad was missing the advertised dressing and my friend had to ask for the steak sauce he ordered. The three scallops in the entre were way over cooked, super chewy and served including the row or coral. The roast dinner was modest but quite nice. The restaurant has free wifi and good air conditioning. B- at best.

E. S.

Great and friendly staff... Found us seats even without reservation on a busy Saturday night. Steak and mushroom sauce was excellent. Good food and drink options.

D. M. C.

Food is really good and so are the desserts. I come here regularly but avoid coming on busy nights as the waiting can be very long. Staff is very friendly and attentive. If you are in Taupo this place offers great steak, fish and chips and desserts for those with a sweet tooth

H.

Pretty average, but the kids love the curly fries and traffic lights drinks always feel like a treat ,thumbs up

P.

The meals were great, but had to order 1 main twice ( required gluten free ) and dessert 4 times.

J.

Delicious food!!!. Great ambience as well as service. Loved it. Will definitely be back.

D.

Tonight I had the Prawn and parmesan sirloin and it was absolutely beautiful. Everything about my meal was just YUUUUUM. It was perfectly cooked and the service was fabulous.

A. P. (.

Really enjoyed my Caesar salad it was very nice, hate that I had to pay extra for the chicken even though and I didn’t have the anchovy‘s or egg, the red grapefruit drink was really nice. Half way through we had to move tables as it was getting cold outside, we moved inside and was assigned another server as our one was going on his lunch break we then waited around 20min for a server to come take our dessert order, I had to ask him to come over and even then the desert wasn’t out of this world amazing either the apple pie was Luke warm but pleasant enough. Price was a bit steep for what we got. Regardless it was decent just won’t go there again any time soon.

N. J.

Love eating here. Will literally drive 2 & half hours from Havelock North just for the Chicken & Bacon Carbonara mmmmmmm Update 20/11/2020 : still amazing food, really rate the x rated traffic light mmmmmm, oh and Richmond is awesome!!

J. E.

Our waitress for the evening was lovely and polite, she made our night worthwhile. I asked If they had any gluten free beer and she asked her manager which ones were, he said all of the beer was gluten free. A quick Google search revealed that in fact none of their beers were gluten free, which was not great. Steak was chewy and didn't have much flavor for a $40 meal but partners ribs were good.

C. K.

Awesome family friendly restaurant. Staff are great, very friendly and helpful. Food and drinks are excellent. Prices are good. Would definitely recommend.

B. E.

Pretty good experience! Lovely helpful staff, food sort of what you would expect but decent enough! Traffic jams were fantastic!

R. C.

Friendly greeting for non reservation patrons. Clean and bright. Clear menu for those with food difficulties. Great choices for those with gluten and dairy issues. We both enjoyed the grilled lamb on mash. Thick cut of meat , yummy perfectly cooked carrots and Brussel sprouts. Generous portions without overdoing it. Friendly and helpful service. Fish tanks and small play area for young children and activity place mats like in the 'old days ' I thoroughly recommend this place for families and couples both. In fact we are going again in next few days. Brilliant place.

I.

Disappointed- menu sold the food really well, wasn't as good as it sounded.

P. A.

Was okay. Meal portion sizes have certainly got smaller since we were last there. Quality of meals was pretty average. We left dissapointed with the eating experience. Been there about 4 times over the last 6 months and every other time we left feeling full and satisfied so this visit was a let down.

P.

Great casual place for kids. Food was better quality than Lone Star!

Z. D.

We were at the door when they opened and the staff were extremely well mannered and very welcoming. We were seated immediately and given the full run down of the menus. We were each given a free bowl of "taties" (see photo) and the food came out very fast. The food was very nice and I will definitely be going back.

P.

Still the same as always. Family freindly resturant that has stood the test of time, traffic light drinks ate now slushies though.

J.

Good food, reasonable prices and an entertaining waiter for the kids especially.

C. H.

Meals were really good reasonably priced I really liked the children's meals my kids enjoyed them Personally I think the kids meals were abit better than what lone star offers in Manukau Auckland.

X. H.

Great place comfortable seating, with great atmosphere. Most importantly all the staff were fantastic and very accomodating. But last and not least the Cobb & co ribs. Sensational. Yummy.

R.

We had a reservation for 4pm today but arrived early and they were able to accommodate us, the service we received was awesome the food was really nice filling and it tasted really yummy, it was also spread out over a couple of hours which is good cause the last thing anyone wants is to finish a entree and then the main meal is there then desert that to me would mean they would be rushing u to eat up and leave but we didn't get that it was really good so thank you Cobb n Co Taupo

a.

On behalf of our senior service group thanks for your hospitality. Ko Wai Tou Ingoa Hauora

N.

Fantastic service, delicious drinks and top quality food 👌👌

S.

Great service, great food options...and children's options....highly recommend

D. R.

A great dinner for the whole family. The kids meals are great value and come with dessert. The beer battered fish and chips was fresh with a crumbly batter...the salad was dressed with a nice dressing.

R. K.

The wings were awesome! I absolutely loved it. However the pork roast meal was a bit of a let down. The crackling wasn't salted, the meat had to flavour to it, and the gravy lacked taste. Other than that eating here brings back a lot of memories for me. I will definitely come back to try the other meals.

j.

Great service and yummy food. Coped quite well with us bus load coming in and keeping them on their toes.

T. D.

Our service was ok but could be trained to smile and be friendly, then I would want to come back again for the warm friendly service. The meals were ok but not fantastic! It's a good restaurant to take the kids tho. Would only go back here if I had children.😯

L. F.

booking a restaurant from reading reviews can sometimes be risky & hard as everyone have different experiences! my family & I needed 2 restaurants to celebrate 2 milestone birthdays with a family of 22members. one restaurant for Friday & another for Sunday. after a bad experience at a restaurant on Friday night we were abit reluctant to eat at another restaurant on Sunday in Taupo! However COBB & CO's service was so fast, so efficient , we even had TWO waiters to cater to our big numbers, both so thoughtful & understanding while my family were doing formalities. food was yummy! & even had no surcharge to bring in an outside cake 🙌🏽 they even set out balloons for my nanas birthday .. Thank you COBB & CO (krishna & team that worked on 20th June) for ending our last night in Taupo on a high! My family were full & happy.

K.

Came in for dinner tonight while holidaying from Palmerston North. The staff were engaging and friendly, even indulging our request for extra Cobb crunchies with no qualms. The meals came promptly and were simply delicious, and filling!!! Great value for money as well! Absolutely recommend this place as a great family dining location and we will be back!

E. S.

If done well, this place would be great... simple and fast comfort food. Unfortunately, the menu tries to do too many things and the basics are not done well. Fries are the best example. From a place like this, they should be perfect but as is so often the case they are dry and taste like they came from the freezer. My schnitzel actually tasted really good but it didn't look good... it was rolled up and of a very dark colour rather than the typical golden brown. These aren't major issues but it could be so much better if done well. The place is also a bit tired and just not very clean, the bathrooms included. Its a shame because the brand works.

C. A.

Amazing service, amazing food! Definitely recommend and will be back next time we are in town. Thanks Cobb & Co

S. B.

Meals were excellent, price was expensive, our dinner party was put into 2 booths so it wasn't ideal but was ok. Clean facilities, friendly staff. Wait time was not to bad. No water on the table nor was offered. We did have a good time.

J.

Great food and fast service! Thanks!

N.

Food is generally good.

E. M.

Absolutely lovely restaurant, excellent service and our meals on 2 separate nights where delicious. Super quick service and our meals where on our table in under 20min with an absolutely packed restaurant. Customer service was absolutely top notch, highly recommended.

D.

Food a touch expensive , great service and good time for the kids

T. P.

Nice atmosphere, food was good/ok, good menu selection for kids.

S. D.

Good old Cobb and Co.. It's changed quite a bit ,since I worked there in the late 70s 😊 We went in for lunch and our waitstaff was lovely and efficient. Our meal was delicious and satisfying and reasonably priced. Well done Cobb and Co, Taupo!

J.

Our waitress was wonderful, super professional and friendly, checked in to make sure we were okay with our meals. Vodka traffic light was the best I’ve ever had too! :-)

S.

Wonderful service. Beautiful food. Amazing cocktail... traffic jam was a hit. Brought back some lovely childhood memories of Cobb n Co of past 😊

C.

We had great service with a friendly waiter who made us all laugh. Food was well presented and came in a timely manner.

A. W.

Excellent service, fast yummy steak meal. Fun drinks as normal

D.

service was great and delicious food. We came after year and i had roast pork, roast vegetables were very good than last year our meal was fantastic. All the meals were presented very nicely. Friendly staff, lady at reception with dark hairs was so nice, helpful and did great warm welcome. We will back again. Thanks cobb

K. R.

Really enjoyed my meal haven't been here in years kids loved the burger's

K. R.

Good place to go, especially with kids as part of the party. It was especially great that they took note so we were given a table next to the kids area. The food was enjoyed by all.

A. G.

Enjoyed a family evening meal here. Our party of 7 traversed the menu items, all happy with their choices. Very enjoyable and comfortable dining experience, good value for money.

c.

Love cobbnco I have been going to these restaurants for 45 years I have the same meal every time Stuffed cob schnitzel. Can't beat it especially when they sometimes let me have 2 pieces. But it could do without the salad just the schnitzel and chips is all it needs

P. W.

Had the coach burger which came with a small basket of dry chips. Burger was very nice but left still feeling hungry. Prices where above average. Staff weren't exactly friendly.

G. P.

My wife and I came for dinner on Saturday night and had a very pleasant evening. The roast pork meal was cooked beautifully, the service was friendly and efficient with only a short wait time. I think our waitress was named Lizaine. She was very delightful and looked after us very well. The Duty Manager, Harman, was very welcoming and even came to see how we were enjoying our meal. All in all a great experience, warmly recommended.

D.

Great meal, really friendly service. They had lots of gluten free options and were really accommodating with it. Well worth visiting.

B.

Pretty average all round. Food just ok. Service ok. They were busy (School holidays) but we managed to get in. Was reminded how lucky we were as we were paying the bill. Nothing memorable.

H.

Food only fair, it took three goes to get food right. Very disappointed NO LAMB or BEEF ROAST. its called Roast of the Day. BUT THEY ONLY DO PORK the staff told us. Other clients were also disappointed.

j. b.

We came for lunch on 25th July you're staff really need training from the moment we arrived at the restaurant we felt unwelcome. We were placed by the kitchen and told to wait here .nobody offered a smile or water or drink when our order was finally taken the food came quickly and was enjoyed but not the shouting from the kitchen.

D. P.

Welcoming host at the door. Nostalgia drew us in, due to fond memories. The cob loaf was a must. Ordered the carnivore. The ribs saved the meal as it would have been a total disappointment otherwise. The steak was bland. The ribs were tender but nothing to rave about. The attraction would be if you have kids it's an inviting place for families of young ones affordable with pleasant wait staff. Rating reflects the meal as being so so

R.

Great service, great food, great place for meal.

S. L.

We had a fabulous experience at this wonderful Cobb and Co! The food was excellent and the service was the best we have ever encountered at a family restaurant. Our kids loved the kids area, and we had a very relaxing evening with great company! Best restaurant in Taupo, highly recommended.

R.

Dinner, Food was great, nice piece of sirloin cooked perfectly ( medium rare) with prawn and permesan sauce. My partner had roast pork. we both very impressed with the meal but service was slow, we wait long time for our meals.

W. K.

Service was really lacking on this visit! We waited at least 40 mins for our mains to come out, and then my husband and daughter were served their meal, and mine was mistakingly given to another table. It wasn't busy so not really any excuses for mistakes like that happening. We were comped our wines, and 50% of my meal price which was appreciated given the circumstances. Unfortunately we won't be rushing back there again.

S. S.

Good service, meals came fast but both steaks came out abit more rare than we had ordered. Peppercorn sauce is the best we've had 🙂

N.

lovely food great flavors , quick service lovely waitress

D.

Love love loved it, took my back to my childhood, loved that I could give my kids that same experience. Nothing has changed all these years later.. in a good way. Who doesn't want a restaurant with a kids play area so they can leave you alone to eat in peace! We'll be back for sure!!

J. W.

Food was alright, service needs to relax, being asked for drinks 3 times in 2 minutes not ok, offering to take our plate when not finished and had a mouthful of food is far too pushy. Probably won't be back

J.

Food was ok the thing I loved is that everywhere was booked out but they made room for us. A+

D. L.

Went out for dinner last night the meal was perfect my steak was cooked just the way I like it. The young lass that looked after us was very friendly and attentive. My only problem is that I had a Bloody Mary to start I found this to be rather watery. Other than that a good time was had 😆😆😆😆 keep it up Cobb & Co 👍👍👍👍

W. C.

Was a bit of a mix experience. We were seated very quickly and were served quickly which was excellent. However the Cheesy Garlic bread for $9 was basically the Cheesy Garlic toastie from Subway you could get for $2.50. The Buffalo wings were delicious with the sauce however were small for the price charged. Similarly, the ribs were delicious but not worth the price they are charged also. I was very excited for the Cobb and Co round crisps that you would always get before your meals and was let down immensely when I discovered they do not serve them anymore :( was served by a young gentleman with glasses who was an absolute superstar though and he had made the experience easier and was a joy to speak to.

k. e.

Takes me back to my childhood. But the service was awesome, we had a rad waiter and he had the most awesome personality and sense of humour. Sorry we didn't catch your name but totally give you a high five

K.

Fantastic food, steak cooked beautifully. Plenty of room and fantastic for the kids. Staff went above and beyond

k.

Food was fast it tasted good and was easy with haveing little ones.

J. L.

The restaurant was clean but a bit old and outdated, their music definitely makes it feel like I'm eating at my great grandparents place (reaaaalllly old music). The staff was very nice and helpful. The food was quite average. Would I come back? Yes, just to give them another chance. Would I recommend to family/friend? No, not at the moment.

C. M.

Great for families and big groups. Decent kids area and different kids menus for different ages - so good to be able to order a toddler sized meal. Nothing flash but quick, attentive service. Good online booking system too - recommend booking for busy times!

B. J.

Good visit. They did well as we were a walk in group of 15. We stopped on the way through Taupo. Service was pretty good and the meals came fairly quickly considering our group size but also another group of 11 came in. Place was tidy. Kids area there as well. Meals were good. Adults and kids enjoyed

k.

Great food, good friendly service, our 2 kids loved having the kids area, so kid friendly. Highly recommend.

G.

Had a nice 2 course dinner. Good service.

T. G.

We had a really nice dinner here. The food was really nice and it was delivered very quickly. We had a large group and they accommodated us very well.

L.

Great kids area (although I didnt have my kids with me this time) little disapointed that most of our table was unhappy with their food, however, the waiter was lovely and sorted everything out for us. My meal was great - ribs and chips.

J.

We went to Cobb and co on Friday night with my 2 children, kids play area was very nice. Food was quick and delicious, service was wonderful we ordered pork belly and chicken tenders that was so good our waitress was very nice. If you are staying in taupo, eat here, would highly recommend.

J.

It is what it is, set your expectations accordingly I.e. its not 5star dining and this is not what it is trying to be or it its target market. It is great for kids, the best restaurant in Taupo for kids as it has a games area, corn loops are on table and colouring in sheets. Food is of generous proportions and Angus Pure Steak really good. Prompt meal delivery once ordered. Best place to take your under 10's!!!

D. W.

Harman-Kaur was our server and she was wonderful dealing with 11 people on an hour timetable. She was extremely friendly and while some of the people were demanding she had a great smile on her face. I enjoyed the seafood chowder and the hog. It was brought out fast and tasted wonderful.

K. P.

Good service and very 80s menu. You can't beat a Cobb & co cordon bleu! Service good and good variety of meals on the menu. Good family place too with high chairs and puzzles for the kids. Clean restaurant and rest rooms. Plenty near by parking. Is open for lunch and dinner

A.

Staff were pleasant food came out super fast chicken was tender roast pork was lovely. Really enjoyed not having to wait around for hours to be served and to eat. Lemon tart was sooooo good.

J. C.

Just saw an ad on Facebook for Cobb and Co and remembered I wanted to place feedback from when we went in January. The food was great, and the nostalgia was 10/10! But the real hero was the great waiter! I think his name was Jaden? Long curly hair. He was an absolute trip! Only less one star as we were placed in the kids area with a baby who couldn’t crawl and a big kid way too old for the area. Apart from that, top notch! That waiter is an asset. Keep him on or someone will snap him up!!

M. W.

Average food, ok table service. Had to get our own pitcher ok water. I was told I could not take my mobility kneel scooter to the table which shocked me so I had to park it at the foyer (hoping it wouldn't be stolen) and hop to the table with crutches.

M. P.

Nice welcome, clean and tidy. Good service.

A.

Nice meal and a lovely foh.

K. M.

Fantastic meal and food was as top notch as expected. It was very busy and yet without a booking we were seated very quickly. Our son was a little disappointed as in between eating and drinking he was back and forth to a play area with PlayStation/Xbox type machines that did not work. He a long with other young children did their best to get them going to no avail. Although this kind of entertainment is not necessary to a meal out if it's offered it should be working.

B.

Food was amazing. Service was great. Was very accommodating for my baby cousin with the affordable kids menu.

A.

Friendly staff with a welcoming smile. Nice and big restaurant, good atmosphere, warm place.Our waiter harmen was kind caring & chatty. She took our order within 5mins and within 10-15 mins our delicious meals were on the table. Food & portions were extremely good; fresh with good flavours.Will definitely back to this restaurant when we will come to taupo again😊. Highly recommend this.

J.

Friendly great food an just like I remember it when I was a kid over 20years ago loved it

J.

Great atmosphere good food. 👍

C.

great atmosphere, excellent service, our boys were given the vip treatment. us guys had the fish of the day, so fresh. awesome family restaurant.

I.

The food was so yummy and the staff was so nice.Still a great family friendly place to go, as it was when I was a kid. I was so happy when I saw Cobb & Co Crunches are still served!! So good. Will be back. Like

M.

Awesome food. Definitely need a good appetite as tge servings are large. Wonderful staff

J.

Nice comfortable place, roast pork was bland, ribs awesome

D.

Delicious food, hog was big portion ,great service. Lovely waitress with lovely smile, very efficient, loved our waitress. Good atmosphere. I Would recommend this restaurant.

M.

Absolutely amazing meal, I would highly recommend the taupo Cobb & Co. They had brilliant customer service and the food tasted exceptional. The whole family will be looking forward to coming back.

a.

Me & My family enjoyed our meals very nice staff were very friendly and fast at taking orders

B. C.

This place is a great spot in Taupo. It is amazing for families with a fish tank, some toys and a couple of computers for kids to play on. They have custom meals for kids of different ages and we spent 3 nights there!

T.

Slow service, after waiting for ages we had to go ask for someone to take our order. Chicken burger was ok, but not good enough for me to gi back any time soon

B.

Good food, super service, great location. Young Male waiter was great, funny and cheerful, wish I got his name as he's an asset to the restaurant. Highly recommend and will certainly return.

C.

Our last meal before going back to auckland

A.

Great customer service, loveliest waitresses. Clean and tidy great food Only four stars because asked for specific details eg we do not eat pork, both meals were delivered with pork even though it was requested to be taken out. Apart from that lovely experience thanks to friendly staff 😊

j. a.

Really, really fun . Great staff and went well. Standard Cobb&Co food but well parented and tasted great. Actually, we're taking Grandma there as we know it will work for everyone.

G.

My wife and I went to Cobb & Co Taupo on Saturday 25th November. The food and staff were great. As it was a busy weekend in Taupo you can guess right that things could take a little longer. BUT the steaks the wife and I had were cooked perfectly. The starters (shrimp cocktail and wedges) also great. As for the desserts (ice cream Sunday and pavlova) top notch. The only down side was the wife's Bloody Mary. It was to watery. Otherwise a good night. AND FOR THE PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TIME IT TAKES TO GET SEATED BOOK A TABLE.

S. W.

My husband & I always have dinner at Cobb & Co whenever we are in Taupo (2 or 3 times each year). Their Seniors Menu is excellent at $22.50 pp for 2 courses. The food is always consistent and so is the service. On Monday 9th April, our waiter Jayden was friendly, efficient and his attentiveness made it a memorable occasion. We'll be back !!

B.

Fab experience, down memory lane for us, my son's 40th birthday! Last time he ate at a Cobb and co he was 10yrs old! He loved it! They even gave him a carriage if cobb crunchies!

s.

Quick service, excellent staff, tantalising Angus steak

D. P.

This place was very busy yet they managed to fit us in straight away despite being a full house. We haven't been to a CnC for many years and it's still a very predictable menu, which was just what we needed. The staff were very friendly and the meal arrived quickly, and was very nice. Thanks.

N.

Always worth a visit while you are in Taupo

N.

Arguably the best food experience in Taupo . Nice place, nice people. Astonishing beef, versatile menu :)

K.

Dropped into Cobb and Co for a late lunch on their outside deck. Good fast service and nice food at a reasonable price. We would come here again.

L.

Had lunch yesterday, roast pork was so delicious, great family restaurant, great service. Highly recommend.

No photos because I honestly was too busy eating rather than snapping. We had the pork ribs - too much sauce but cooked perfectly, lambs fry and bacon - the best Ive ever had, chicken bits and chips for our girls. A glass of house red - Tohu Merlot went well with my delicious lambs fry. The kids were kept occupied by a generous assortment of toys and ipad games and the service was attentive albeit quirky - nice guy served us but we sort of got the feeling he was buzzing on more than the menu could offer us... I’m old enough to remember when Cobb n Cos were everywhere and I admit to carrying a in built distaste for the brand based on years of mediocrity... but I enjoyed what the folk in Taupo had to offer for my family transiting from the mountains back to Auckland. Thank you CnC Taupo - a job well done.

Food isn't as great as it used to be. Veggies lacked flavour and mashed potato tasted like it was from powdered stuff. Steak was good and so was the cheesy garlic bread.

A. H.

Loved it. Was set up very well for kids. Great experience. The food was not the highlight, and a bit pricy, but given that we were in the middle of a 6 hour drive with small chidren, the perfect break. Kids have been asking to go back ever since.

A.

Unfortunately no where near as good as last time we visited. Food was luke warm, veggies very overcooked and food generally just a bit below par. Toilet facilities needed attention and there seemed to be a shortage of staff. It's a shame because we had been making a point to drop in each time we pass through Taupo as it's a good family restaurant.

O. H.

The place is super awesome, my husband had steak and I had the seafood basket, highly recommended one, fried seafood was really fresh and crispy! Also staffs there were very friendly, will definitely go there again if we come to visit Taupo.

S.

Meal was great and so was the service. Very quick to get our meal. Pina colada could of been a bit nicer

T.

Fantastic service Great Family atmosphere Waitress was very attentive..nothing was a problem Meal was top notch A real great experience.

S.

We visited during alert level 2. Rules were followed in a friendly way. Still got the old favourites on the menu! But the traffic light is now a slushie 😭😭😭😭😉

I.

It was a busy night but we seemed to have been forgotten. Sat for nearly 40 minutes after our mains had finished. Finally managed to get someone to collect our dishes and take our dessert order.

T.

Steak was like leather, bloody brilliant sauce , duty bar manager poor service would be better suited outback not interratcing with customers. The lovely laddie serving us was very helpful and great place for kids

R.

I worked in Cobb and Co Taupo back in the 80s, so it was a bit nostalgic to go there last Saturday. I thought I would give the snitzel a try because that was one of my faves and my husband ordered fish and chips. Honestly, the kai was as great as it was way back then. Hubby had a couple of handles and they went down a treat too. But listen, if you have a Super Gold Card, use it. Its a huge saving and I wished if I had of used mine! Nevermind, next time....

J.

Me and my wife went to taupo after a long time wanted to have dinner in cobb it was bit changed. We had chicken pasta and coconut chicken food was delicious and consistent but had to wait for long time l, service was poor but happy with food.

S.

Had a delicious meal at C & C and very impressed with the food and the service we received. Top marks.

j.

Indian man at front desk was so kind to us! Great hospitality in comparison to other staff.

R.

Well done owner. Very good. Feedback: hot chips could be improved. More cripsy or oily like takeaways joints. Dried out quickly.

L. S.

Service was outstanding and food came quickly. I should have asked how many scallops came with the starter so was little disappointed to pay 17bucks for 3 scallops and tiny ones at that. Margarita was orsum an came with the shaker . . . Hats off to you cobb n co

L.

Food was really good, seated quickly by a young lady, then there was a young gentlemen by the name of jellybean who served us, which was excellent service. Made the experience very enjoyable thankyou

M.

Great service. Food was served so efficiently. Yummy steak and garlic bread. Enjoyed it.

P. S.

Great for families with young kids. My kids loved the food, the fish tank, toys and the video game consoles. There is a seperate bar. Service is okay.

R.

Great food and reasonable prices, I had the schnitzel, good choice and very tasty.

G.

Food came out quick but pork belly quite bland and not worth the cost. Sat waiting for kids desert for a while and had to get servers attention. Would have spent more $ if staff was more aware. Overall too costly for the meal quality.

M.

Have always liked this restaurant 😋 from way back. Food was delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you.

M.

Lunch just ok and price a bit high! 2 people cost 46 $ for lunch! 😑 Definitely can go somehere else cheaper and more tasty food~😕

N.

We were seated on table 24 and were greeted by our lovely waitress my family and I enjoyed all our meals my wife enjoyed her special chicken schnitzel and I enjoyed an amazing steak kids loved their crunchies and kids meals were out fast thank you cobb and co Taupo!

P. T.

On an extremely cold night we came here for dinner, and was seated close to the open fire. The food was great, the service more so. It wasn't a busy night but that's how we like it.

R.

Awesome grt meal even the senior roast was big. Some cobb and cos make these meals smaller as there cheaper. We need to encourage the older generation to go out and that meal made us want to return. Keep it up taupo

G.

Nice comfortable feel once you walk it. Love how they have gone back to the original look. Good range of food to choose from.

L.

Nice food, service a little slow. Had to go to the bar to order a drink. I know it's a family restaurant but I have never heard so many screaming children!

T.

Slow service & average food would not return. After waiting 30 minutes for our dessert we asked and they had forgotten.

Ribs were amazing but wished our waiter had suggested a more suitable size selection when I'd ordered the Cobb serving for myself nd was shocked to see a bowl the size of a bucket filled to top more suited to a table of ten nd then were left standing for awhile at paydesk becos it was unattended.,wasn't the worst I've been to but cud do with sum tweeking
