Reviews of The Ranch Bar & Grill
Q.
Happy we stopped by. Plan to have a bite. Turned out to be great meals. Wonderful and fascinating flavors. From the mussels, loaded chips, venison, blue cod, lamb shanks, and salmon. With home made cheese cake and pecan pie for finale. Mwah!
The service, amazing!
T.
The restaurants and bars in Te Anau are bloody awesome , and The Ranch Bar And Restaurant is no different . We both grabbed a doggy bag each , the amount of food left over after our meal was enough for the next nights dinner . $18 for a roast lamb dinner is quite uncommon now aday . It was absolutely packed at 6pm, now that speaks volumes about the restaurant . Got a upstairs bar and band on selected dates . I forgot to take photo's night before so next morning was all good .
D.
Excellent service, great food. With enough menu options to cater for pretty much everyone. Everything is wheelchair accessible and there is usually plenty of parking right outside.
C.
Great experience with this restaurant, their pork ribs is the best in term of cooking. The food portion is good. Very friendly staffs. Like their uniform.
D.
The atmosphere was perfect for a family night out. The signature venison was cooked TO PERFECTION! Roast lamb that melted in your mouth and our 15 year old make short work of a large stack of succulent pork ribs topped off with a lemon meringue pie and pavlova that was so light they literally dissolved in your mouth. Best of all was our first class hostess Mel H. Gold standard service, great banter and she let me shamelessly rip her country playlist on to my Spotify [haha thanks :)]
L.
It’s shame that I cannot give more than 5 stars, all the way through our night here, the food and service was superb!! I recommend to book at least two hours before as the bar does get quite busy.
L.
Some of the best venison we have had. Extra bonus to know it was wild. Loved the fact that it is stated how it is cooked.... no well done available! I had the lamb salad which was beautifully marinated and packed full of flavour. All of this served up professionally and within 20 minutes of ordering. Really happy.
S.
Great staff and lovely food. Went here with 2 friends and the staff apologised for the longer than usual wait for food due to how busy they were. This was no problem as they have a good drinks menu so we didn’t mind just enjoying some beers/wine while we waited. We also appreciated that numerous staff members informed us that there would be a long wait, we appreciated their honesty. I got the ribs as a main and they were delicious. Desert was incredible too, the date pudding is a must try. We didn’t have great experiences in other restaurants in Te Anau, the Ranch really blows others out of the water. The number one restaurant/bar in Te Anau in my eyes. Thank you for the meal and service.
M.
Dinner was tasty and drinks were priced reasonable on menu but didn't know about surcharge so 105 turned into 120!!
O.
We didn't get the chance to dine in BUT the service was phenomenal ! We were greated with the smile even though they were really busy! The lady kindly apologized that they were fully booked until late. She then recommended us another place and when we came there she also popped in and asked the staff to let us have a table if they have any . In conclusion, exceptional service ! The lovely lady from the Ranch bar and grill treated us the same way she would want to be treated. We will hopefully be back one day ! Thank you ! 😊
d.
Stopped for lunch.
Can honestly say they made me the best cheese cake I have ever had.
Raspberry and lemon.
Also 2 of the ladies in our group of 8
Also said that the lamb salad was outstanding and the best they had experienced. Thanks
R.
Awesome place! Amazing food! Hard working, friendly staff that completely smashed it under pressure! Had breakfast and dinner here and was very nice. The sticky date was tops! Keep it up ranch team!
R.
We had a fantastic meal the first night we were in Te Anau. So good that we went back the next night. I recommend the Roast Lamb and the Beef Bacon and Onion burger. Don't fill up too much though their pudding selection is 👌.
S.
You must go to this bar and grill when visiting Te Anau. My husband and I were staying the night and we went for dinner at The Ranch. The staff were friendly, well presented and the food was on point! The high standards of this place were refreshing. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and staff. Would highly recommend!
P.
Great place to have a meal. Friendly staff and the meal of roast lamb, followed by apple crumble was a meal to remember.
B.
We had been turned away from the first place we went that night due to kitchen being overwhelmed so we went the next place, which happened to be "The Ranch"
Head of service was awesome. Her first night doing it. She was calm. All good, she said come in but it could be 45 minutes before our meals turned up(90 minutes at the first place minimum) ...would you like a drink a tall blonde woman asked. Wow. Yes please.
Meals were to us in 30 minutes. Tasty fare, nothing extremely flash but it was tasty.
Meals were good.
Service was excellent.
Alcohol was over priced $9.50 or $10 for Steinlager stubble is disgusting.
Yes that's right $120 a dozen. It's wrong.
But it's acceptable for bars and restaurants to charge this. Drink prices should be regulated across the board
L.
Liked the look of the menu. Was seated with a food menu, but no drinks menu. I went in to find one and was told quite bruskly that they would be with us in 5 minutes and give us one then. When our food arrived, we were given 2 knives and only one fork, so I had to go looking for a fork. Food was fine but service fairly average.
S.
Clearly a local favourite with staff, who greet you like an old friend. Meals were divine, slow roasted veges, mint sauce for lamb and white sauce for cauli. Very prompt and attentive service, without being intrusive.
R.
Excellent experience, reception, service and food (lamb roast and chicken schnitzel) were all first class. Booking advisable, which we did, as saw patrons turned away. Obviously very popular.
J.
Great food, great choices and great service. A really lovely night.
A.
Overall: 4/5
- vibes: 5/5 - American diner style experience, good music
- staff: 4/5 - friendly, served us water before we even needed to ask
- food: 4/5 - Pasta was definitely better than the pizza
We went here for dinner for the two nights we stayed in Te Anau, as it is one of the places that opened up till later (we went around ~9pm). Up until 10:30pm, there is food available, although if you go in after ~9:30pm, you have to order from the late night menu (which is a bit different). Both nights, we ordered from the main menu.
Food and staff on the first night were wonderful. We had a hearty steak (beef and lamb), that both came with salads, and the beef came with chips. It was honestly so good we couldn't stop eating.
On the second night, the lady serving us seemed a bit confused. She mentioned at the end of the night that she was new. The food on the second night wasn't as nice. We had lamb ribs (they were decent), and for some reason i decided to order a salad as i felt quite bloated from the past few days - bad idea. This place definitely does meats very well, but the chicken salad was dry and tasteless, and the portion was extremely small for $24.
S.
We ordered a shrimp dish but it's smaller than we expected, and it's kind of boiled first and then dressing is added later. The flavor is good, but the amount and size are just not what we expected. The dessert we ordered, pecan pie, is delicious and tasty, which we both agreed that it's a highlight of the evening. The overall atmosphere is good, and be sure to make reservation to prevent waiting and disappointment.
D.
Couple of errors on our large food and drink order for 9 but they sorted it quickly and with good humor. Then without being asked they took 10% off our bill which was a really nice touch. Excellent service in a busy place.
I.
We lucked into the Sunday roast with my wife having the beef while I tried pork. Both where great value I think there was 7 different veges ranging from roast potatoes, kumera, carrot pumpkin and parsnips with cauliflower and peas. Great friending staff as well. Lemon meringue pie was great to finish
D.
Amazing food . Great selection and service . Well worth stopping in for a drink or meal .
A.
Great service. Staff there tonight were down by a few members but they managed so well! The service didn’t slip one bit and we had a great experience.
A.
We were famished after a day at Milford sound and this place was just what we needed. Great range of drinks and delicious food. 10/10!
J.
You should eat here if you are in town on Sunday - they have special Sunday roast menu and it's a good option. Service was great!
S.
Different to the norm. I had the lamb shank which was good but nothing special about it. My wife had the schnitzel which wasnt as expected, was fried and thick not the usual thin crumb piece. The loaded fries were disappointing the topping come on the side.
N.
The food was delicious. The lamb fell right off the bones. The chicken dippers were, even though deep fried, not too oily. The cheese and bacon wedges didn't have a lot of bacon in it, but did have a lot of cheese and sour cream. Only downfall to this place was the service. It took a very very very long time. Initially we thought it was because of the number of meals we had ordered (big group), but to get 3 desserts took forever.
K.
Awesome meals and great staff (and considering the place was packed and that they were wearing those stupid "Cindy Masks"... well done 👍), highly recommend.
L.
Excellent service and 'average' tasting steak. I felt that the ribeye was too over cooked though I requested for medium rare. However, given that they were running a full house on Christmas Eve, I'll have to give it to them. Lovely setup and very good service.
R.
The service, amazing. The food, just the right amount. The place, great. Great local pub with a family vibe and friendly atmosphere.
Thanks for a great meal.
A.
Great food, nice and cosy inside, awesome staff! Highly recommend
C.
Vegan friendly menu. Very yummy and big burger. My meat eater partner even say my VEGAN beef burger is very delicious and don't taste artificial. The "beef" pattie is bigger than than burger bun. Worth to recommend
M.
Good meal, was very busy but food came out quickly and enjoyed by the group. Make sure to book ahead.
P.
We decided to try venison (as our guide that day mentioned it to be Fiordland special). The meat was cooked perfectly! We enjoyed the potatoes that go as a side as well. Cheesecake was one the best I’ve ever had, even the coffee was above average which surprised us as usually you don’t get any decent coffee in that kind of places. The staff was really attentive and friendly. Totally recommend!
R.
Surprisingly very good restaurant in this small town. Highly recommended.
It’s a double stories restaurant with plenty of seats upstairs.
R.
Absolutely fantastic place to eat. Would highly recommend. Great food and great service.
M.
Very nice meal.great help from staff.wine suggested by staff lovely.we had a suburb night
1.
Sunday roast is great value with fast service and great staff. Definitely recommend and would definitely go back.
I.
On a cold Friday morning, we walked past Te Anau, looking for a place to have breakfast.
Some restaurants closed or didn't look very inviting, so when we passed The Ranch some people were there and burned a fire in the fireplace to warm the room, we walked in.
We both ordered waffles, very tasty
We were not disappointed, the food was good-sized, beautifully cooked with a delicious and creamy berry sauce
G.
friendly welcoming staff was pretty busy too food is always superb real Sth Island pub grub...awesome
G.
The seafood chowder was tasty, and the muscles were really good. The monkfish and smoked salmon stack was also good although the smoked salmon was a bit on the strong side. The venison steaks were served in a sauce that was a little too sweet for that particular dish.
A.
We were walking to search for a restaurant, could not locate it and bumped into this one, it did not disappoint us, we were sitting outside near sunset, getting colder and moved inside. Cozy atmosphere with good and delicious food, food decoration is good too.
J.
Good food for a reasonable price. The only thing was the service was a little bit lacking. It took 5 to 10 minutes to get a beer ordered the same time as the food. To be fair, it got super busy after we sat down. I don't know if everywhere else opens later, because they mostly seemed closed, but it seemed like everyone was flooding in. This may have caused the slower service. Overall good food and a great vibe in the restaurant. I would go again.
A.
I'm glad this place is still going. My wife and I had a great time celebrating my 30th birthday we had deer stake or something like that.. I remember it was really good.
- That was on 7/12/2006 Better late than never 😅
A.
Very welcoming went out of their way for gluten free dinner. Great mulled wine
I.
Absolutely fabulous dishes and service. Not too cheap, but worth every cent paid. Outdoor seating in shade is just amazing, even without picturesque views.
R.
We ate here two nights in a row. The venison and special (beef wrapped in bacon on mash with asparagus) were both so delicious! The Sunday roast is good value. The staff are incredibly efficient, friendly and helpful, and must have high step counts for all the running around they are doing keeping things moving. The manager on duty noticed I was receiving unwanted attention from other guests and swiftly handled the matter very professionally. Awesome dairy free & gluten free options. We will be back next time we’re in the area!
P.
One of the best bar and grill i have ever come across in New Zealand 7 years. Had a blast here. Definitely recommending to my mates.
M.
Real good pub food. They had my favourite of Lambs Fry and Bacon on potato Nash, mushrooms and gravy. Real yum. Followed by dessert of Lemon meringue. It was huge and impressive looking and tasty
C.
Great service
Lamb roast was delicious, tender meat and gravy
Vegetables salad was nice, good amount of sunflower seeds and pine nuts
Garlic bread for two equal two pieces dry but ok
M.
Came at a busy time, so we sat outside by our own choice. Staffs are super friendly and kept checking that we are fine outside (it was an unusually cold day), even offer us throws to stay warm.
Selection of drinks at this place is nice, waitresses are attentive to the customers, even when you are sitting outside.
Time for the review of the food. Overall, truly enjoyed dining here.
Steak - slightly over cooked from requested doneness, but I don’t have much to complain about as the steak is tender, juicy and very well seasoned. Would be happy come back here just for this.
Lamb, roast of the day. Well cooked and well seasoned. Maybe a tad dry, but at least it still tasted great. Not really a fan of the mint jelly condiment, would prefer a more traditional mint sauce. Gravy is super nice, more of it would be better for the slightly dry lamb.
Chicken burger - okay I’ve never had a chicken burger with pineapple before. Not gonna lie. I kinda like it. Bun itself is soft, chicken is well seasoned and crunchy, salad is fresh, pineapple with the sauce is a unique combination.
One main criticism is perhaps the service time, food took quite a while to arrive and we are about to have a second round of drinks.
Other than that, would definitely come back here again for a meal in the future.
A.
Really lovely staff and the food was amazing. Highly recommend you try some of their yummy dishes if you're ever passing by.
D.
friendly stop in Te Anau. staff were nice and helpful, portions decent, bar has a good range, and the prices are reasonable for a tourist town. B&G style food, not high cuisine, but it is what is says on the sign. if you have room try the dessert, you won't be disappointed.
D.
Great late lunch and with all that is going on.... the young lady done amazing... especially being on her own with a wee rush.. top notch
c.
Great service, very friendly staff and the steaks were sooooooooooo beautiful...top spot and far better than anything we had in Queenstown. hang onto that chef you have ranch.
J.
Pulled pork burger and fish n chips were both nice, and we enjoyed our meals! It gets busy, so make sure you book ahead, so go early!
R.
Absolutely deelish chicken salad 🤤 obsessed with it at the moment, and the garlic butter chips is to die for love the food here absolutely amazing and great prices will be a regular from now on yuuum!! Staff are lovley too 🙌
k.
Had a late breakfast here on Sunday with friends, nice meals and good value for money. Will definitely be back again
F.
Got a massive Pork Ribs. Some parts were a bit dry, but most of it was really good. Nice flavour and sauce 👍
A.
Get the mussels! Absolutely love this place with its awesome food and amazing service. Hot tip; the lamb shank could feed two people 😅
B.
Hit the spot in the middle of a long car journey. Food was divine, service very friendly and efficient. Was awesome to be greeted at the door and have the staff check vax pass. Will be back next time we're in Te Anau
K.
Perfectly fine food, nothing spectacular. Don’t hate, wouldn’t recommend either. Middle of the road rating because that’s what this place is.
P.
Nice atmosphere roast lamb had more fat than meat & peas were cold . Lambs fry was OK
n.
Nice place never been here before the staff seemed friendly and helpful the good and the coffee was really great. Would have loved to come down and had a few beers I reckon it would have a good atmosphere
T.
Food was tasty but took ages to come out and was a little expensive for what you get.
Staff were friendly but service was slow
L.
Great outdoor area, waitress was awesome giving energetic fun service. Couldn't fault the food.
Y.
On a way back from Milford sound, we stopped by for lunch. The food are decent except venison that was not as nice as it was last time. was a bit disappointed , but If you are after volume with decent price, this place is a way to go. Burger was pretty good and Staff are okay.
h.
One of the best food experience i ever had . Very friendly az staff, I would definitely recommend to the people who coming to the Milford-sound way try the ranch bar n grill in te anau
They also got some vegetarian foods az well
Cheers guys keep up the gud work
J.
Great place to relax after a helicopter hike on the Kepler track. Friendly staff and generous meals.
T.
Beautiful food and excellent service. Friendly and helpful staff.
R.
Brilliant place, awsome food served by awsome staff. The best in te anau. Nice to meet you jack, and your lovely lady too
K.
Delicious meals and great service. We always go when we're in Te Anau and it never disappoints.
T.
Great place to eat while in Te Anau, food is excellent and service was amazing even though they were very busy. Nice outside seating to enjoy the evening.
C.
Popped in on Sunday afternoon for a cheeky roast. $17.50 for a decent sized lamb roast. Everything was delicious and the lamb was to die for. Well recommended. ✌️
G.
Very good service and nice food. Portion size was about perfect. Tasty venison burger with a side of fries. Great meal selection and impressive range of beers.
J.
Me and my wife visited The Ranch & Grill recently as we were staying locally for the night and down from Auckland. The moment we arrived on a Saturday night it was packed! Staff managed to find us a booth which was ideal with the service from staff and food outstanding! value for money with great portion sizes i can't recommend highly enough. I had ribs with my wife going for the fish. We ended up staying on to watch the Rugby which was a great experience upstairs with some of the friendly locals. What was the most pleasing aspect was the staff. The ladies on the restaurant floor were doing an incredible job. Happy, chatty and it's amazing to stumble across restaurants like this who offer such an amazing experience! in this post covid world. Didn't take any pictures as the food was that good we forgot!!!! We will be back for sure!
C.
Great waitress into tantilising burgers and perfect chips for me and my family, followed up with the BEST PECAN PIE I have ever tasted. Mad props to the chef
P.
The shitake risotto was good and the pumpkin, spinach and feta gnocchi too. A quite busy and lively place. You might need to wait a little at peak times.
P.
Really enjoyed the roast chicken, heaps of meat and tasty roast vegies. Fabulous.
S.
The lamb with the fries and gravy is delicious! Cool environment. Cutest town. Love that they had country music and rodeo reruns.
T.
Great food, large portions, friendly staff
J.
Fantastic Southland hospitality, good quality, value. Two Roast Lamb mains, bottle of Pinot Noir, shared Apple Crumble $100 for two. Nice. Full. Lucky to get a table. Chefs were cranking out quality full plates. Come to Te Anau. Nice drive from Gore. Visit Glow Worm caves too. Last time we had a meal this good for this price was Town Town with a GrabOne two for one voucher. We'd easily pay 50% more in 'big smoke of SI' (Chc) & pay 100% more in Akl.
T.
Awesome breakfast this morning with good service from the english guy. Nice coffee. Will be back again.
J.
We have a superb Sunday Lamb roast. Only on Sunday! It was super yummy that the word delicious is enough to describe the meal. It was a yummylicious. Best of all it was value for money at NZ$ 16! So amazing and unbelievable yummylicious meal at this price on Sunday! 5-star is not enough. It worth 6-star.
H.
The roast we had was so yummy especially the roast lamb it was the way I cook mine 😋
R.
Good hearty food. Genuine friendly service. This place is a gem!
E.
Had a beautiful plate of Potato, leek and ham soup. The waitress was absolutely on to it despite the place being really busy.
N.
The best (vegan) burger I've ever had!
I don't often write reviews, but this place went above and beyond our expectations for a pub in little Te Anau. We were staying in the area for 2 nights either side of the Milford Track, and we went here both nights in the end. Both times the service was friendly and thoughtful, and the food was great! We felt like all of the staff were our friends. On the second night, we booked for a group of 9 of us - including 2 vegans, 4 vegetarians, and 2 meat-eaters. Their menu catered for us all without a problem (the staff even came and reassured us that all the sauces in the vegan burger were 100% vegan), and I stand by the vegan burger as the best burger I've ever had!
H.
One of the best pieces of meat I had in the last couple of months. Excellent! Great Service as well. Everything was perfect. Unfortunately my home is 18.000km away otherwise I would go there every week. :)
M.
A lovely impromptu dinner out at short notice with pals, great service, food and reasonably priced.
D.
Great service with a smile, good banter with the staff. Food is quick, decent portions, and very tasty. In fact I came back 2 days in a row. Their ribs are without exaggeration the best I've had in the country so far. Also one of the few places that bothers to make their own mayonnaise. Sounds minor, but shows how much love the chefs puts in his food. Can highly recommend 10/10
D.
Amazing place to dine! Warm, friendly staff, and the food was great! Flavorful, comfort food at a great price. $10 kids meals were big servings and a $3 sundaes were polished off fast! We highly recommend The Ranch Bar and Grill!
P.
Fantastic food and service for 10 of us. Everyone was impressed. Thanks 😀
P.
Outstanding as usual...great food washed down by a well poured Guinness...and the best staff...thanks guys
K.
Sunday Roast - no chance of leaving hungry! Very generous serving & well priced, quick service.
M.
Lovely meal and friendly staff. Courtesy coach drove us home to our accommodation.
K.
Great menu selections, friendly staff and great drink selection. Visited twice during our stay in Te Anau
J.
We described this restaurant as "good, not great". I got the salmon salad and my husband got the burger. Both were just okay and a bit plain/bland. If you are looking for average food for a reasonable price, this is a nice spot to sit outside on a warm day.
The service was quick despite it being busy and the staff were very accommodating of our double pram. Our toddlers loved the fish n chips on the kids menu. The portion included two pieces of fish so they could share it.
Not a bad restaurant, just very average food.
G.
A last minute decision to eat here. Not regreted food was really good, good choice and large portions.
W.
Service was good and the food was nice and affordable. A good stopover for a quick meal.
J.
Friendly service, good food at a reasonable price.
L.
Angela and the other girls provided us great service - I was after an additional schnitzel halfway through my meal, and it wasn't a problem for the kitchen to organise. Thanks again, team!
K.
Good atmosphere - outside seating adequately covered with large umbrellas for shade. Good attentive service - had the roast special and a great desert which was top notch.
d.
It was very busy but the food was great and staff very friendly.
N.
Amazing food, great atmosphere and helpful staff
P.
Great place for a steak and a beer by the fire on a chilly evening.
B.
I had the monk fish, and presentation and taste was world class!! Everything comes to perfection.
B.
Great food and staff are friendly. Come here with the family everytime we visit Te Anau!
p.
Good place. Lovely ambience. Very crowdy since the taste and cuisines they offer are huge. Timely service.
N.
We just had a wine. Large sunny outside area. Was popular.
M.
Great people and awesome food very friendly will definitely go back again.
M.
Awesome food and a lot of beers. When it started to rain they offerd free coach to hotel. Friendly and funny waiters. Highly recommend!
R.
What a fantastic place. Rachelle our waitress what a lovely vibrant girl.
Food fabulous. Can't fault it. Wish they were in Auckland. Great atmosphere.
Great music. Recommended.
K.
Visited Ranch bar today. Mel the bar manager was amazing. What a champion! Handling complaints and unacceptable behaviour from customers on easter Sunday. She really rose above and made the experience wonderful
We had a great time and the food was exceptional.
And she was still in good spirit even though she was the only person working here.
i.
Had an evening meal. It was really good. Chicken snitz was a nice size with crispy chips. The best pavalova I have ever had. It was light, fluffy and tasty. A really big thankyou to the serving staff who were fantastic.
C.
Good variety of food from a nice country-style pub in Te Anau. The wait staff were very friendly and quick, Melissa was a delightful waitress. Definitely worth a visit!
K.
We had the Bubble and Squeak with Blue Cod. Best breakfast I have had all trip, highly recommend!
M.
Awesome food. Good portion size too!
S.
Melissa was great food was amazing

R.
Food was great, staff were pleasant and attentive.
B.
Excellent food, friendly staff.
C.
Awesome place for a meal and a very big selection to choose from.
We were lucky enough to get a table downstairs where we could catch the eye of waitresses going in and out of the kitchen. Based on our own experience and the reviews of others the only thing holding this place back from being in the high 4’s is the lack of service staff for such a large area and the number of tables. They were very stretched
A.
Roast pork meal, very small amount of roast pork, very dry and over cooked, and the most important bit of roast pork.... no crackling, yep nothing.
Don't get the pork you'll be disappointed.
S.
Great service. Steak sandwich was perfect. Definitely recommend.
G.
Good pub meal and drinks. Baileys Irish cream coffee was fantastic.
P.
Fabulous service followed by an amazing delicious value for money meal.
The staff were amazing with our children and went above and beyond to keep them entertained so we could enjoy our meal.
K.
Great menu which made choosing difficult but we settled on the monkfish and the warm lamb salad.Wonderful to have a choice of meal that wasn't deep fried. Good sized portions, well presented and delicious. Great service too, thanks everyone.
l.
Had the venison steak main. Every little part of the dish was delicious.
R.
Guinness on tap and a stormy Friday night.. what's not to like? Pork belly was wonderful as was the venison. Lucky to get a table as walked in unbooked and the place was packed. Poor guy behind the bar was run off his feet.. Friendly staff and great ambiance with rodeos on the big screen and country music playing.. Good value if you want to eat up large!
S.
Great place with fab staff & awesome food😋😋😋
c.
Absolutely amazing feed, loved the service too
S.
Had a lovely Bacon & Lambs Fry smothered in a rich gravy at The Ranch. The atmosphere was welcoming & warm. In addition, the service was great.
S.
Had the $17.50 roast pork. The meat was delicious. Should have stopped at the roast but had lemon meringue pie for dessert.. nice but not great. Wine list is just way too expensive. Staff were great, friendly and very attentive.
F.
Surprised to see reasonable vegetarian and vegan items on the menu. I had the vege stack - mwah. Only thing was we ordered chips which never came but was so delighted I tipped anyway.
Really nice atmosphere with 80s music vids playing in the background 😅
A.
I had the venison and my husband had the steak. We both agreed this was the best meal we had been served in a while. Would love to come back for the venison. We were so full we couldn't have dessert
D.
Stayed 2 nights in Te Anau and this was our favorite place for meals. Friendly, attentive staff and a good menu selection and good food.
G.
Stopped in here just for a quick bite and a coffee around lunchtime on 16th Nov.
Young lady serving us was fine. No complaints about the service or the staff whatsoever.
My only gripe is the eftpos machine to pay asking of you want to tip - this is NOT the kiwi way.
In North America where food & drink is considerably cheaper and staff depend on tips take up to a minimum wage - only then is it acceptable. But not here in New Zealand!!!
⭐⭐⭐
S.
good for drinking and dining, the quality of the food is really good! music is a touch too loud...
C.
Very accommodating to our small family finding us a seat downstairs and making sure we liked our drinks when we weren't sure what to get. Great food and fantastic service! Would return when we come through te anau again :)
A.
Had fish and chips here and loved every bite of it. Thanks!
M.
Had a wonderful meal and if you look at their website pics that's exactly what you get.I had the lamb shank and greatly looking forward to going back for it again.Big hands up to the floor staff who understaffed for the nite were fantastic.
J.
Absolutely fantastic service. And excellent food and definitely worth their fair prices. 10/10 will be coming back next time I'm in Te Anau. Would recommend 🙌
A.
Wow... the service was amazing, so fast at getting food out, the meals were incredible. This place is THE place to grab food its obviously very popular so definitely book because you don't want to miss out!!
T.
This place was absolutely FANTASTIC. I’m truly shocked to see any bad reviews here at all. We are native Texans born and raised in Austin, and we were incredibly impressed with their food and steaks. So much, in fact, that when we came for breakfast it was SO GOOD that we actually decided to come back for dinner and dessert. Incredibly fast service, really really friendly staff, huge selection, and they have a ton of gluten free options! This was one of our favorite places in all of New Zealand, including the north and south and Stewart Island. Highly recommend!!
J.
Great service. Very friendly staff. Food was lovely. Had the roast lamb. Really nice. Plenty of meat. Lovely veggies.
Good beer selection. Thanks Team
G.
Great food, great service, great prices.
M.
Really good meal,heaps of veg and meat cooked to perfection.The waitress was lovely as well.
L.
Fantastic service from Jack. Really friendly to talk to and attentive. Highly recommend the Ranch!
M.
We were staying in Te Anau on vacation for two nights and ate dinner both nights at The Ranch. Our first night we fancied the roast of the day but sadly they had a big booking and the roasts ran out. Our friends instead had the steak, and I had the chicken schnitzel and my partner had the lamb's fry. All dishes were excellent. The next night we arrived in time for the lamb roast ($20). Great value for money and a generous serve of meat and multiple vegetables. The staff are very accommodating and pleasant. If we are ever in Te Anau again we will be back.
P.
Had a lovely meal and atmosphere was great. Great customer service as well. Had a great evening.
A.
Loved it great service and very friendly staff
N.
Absolutely superb..great food, atmosphere & service. Even taught the barman a new drink...highly recommended 👌
D.
We came here for dinner on a wet and windy early evening. We were warned that there would be a wait, but we were given a table number and we took up residence at the bar.
Within half an hour we were taken to our table and were soon eating. My wife had the chicken schnitzel and I had the half rack of lamb: she thoroughly enjoyed her meal, but I found the lamb to be slightly lacking in taste and the few chips were compressed beneath the rack.
However the atmosphere was good and the staff very helpful and efficient. And the price was very reasonable. Perhaps if I had chosen something else from the menu I would have rated it as 5 stars. Recommended.
C.
My partner and I both had amazing meals served service was friendly and very quick. I would go back to Te Anau just to eat there again.
M.
Had dinner there recently.It was so good went back again the next night.Food great and the food was reasonably priced.Service was excellent
J.
Great service from the woman on she was certainly earning her wages
B.
Wait staff are fantastic to deal with. Made the experience a very enjoyable. Meals were good and desert were huge. Well worth it. Thanks for a great night out with wife.
P.
Nice staff. Clean bathrooms (need to be a patron to use them which is fair). We had a snack of wings and some drinks. The sauce on the wings was great, however the wings themselves were more akin to a spatchcocks wings, plus were a little dry. Would go back but try something else off the menu.
D.
Good food & decent serving size. Big glass of wine, not like Auckland sizes. Really friendly staff
E.
Trully nice Southland pub style dinner. my lil boy had the kids pork ribs, it was almost an adult portion ☝️ pretty rustic setup you can choose either upstairs or downstairs seating.. love it. Great choice of tap beers as well🍺. and the desserts ❤
B.
Great food
J.
The food was cooked to perfection. Complete compliments to the owner (who was the chef for the night) best ribs and mussels I have ever eaten in a restaurant!
B.
We came here for a drink before dinner and for dessert after dinner, because they said they had fresh, homemade pavlova. I was so excited to try the pavlova and it comes out as a mound of sweet foam. I wanted to give them 5 stars, but the mound of foam they labeled as pavlova is an insult to pavlova and New Zealand. They saved themselves with good service and relaxing outdoor seating.
J.
My partner and I came here twice for breakfast, both times well exceeding our expectations on friendliness and service.
The food was amazing too, very fast to order and arrive.
If we ever come back to Te Anau, we will definitely be coming back to visit.
N.
Great food & great service, thanks
T.
Very nice place, friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere
c.
We dropped in on a Monday night without a booking. No problem to get us seated. Service was great and food fantastic.
T.
We stopped here for the night and went to the Ranch and it was great! Food was delicious (unfortunately I didn’t have room for dessert but they looked amazing!). Service was great and I really liked the decor/vibe.
R.
Brilliant roast lamb meal with really awesome staff. Vegetables were tasty and presented really nicely on the plate. Super busy and not a long wait as we had booked. Well done guys, thank you.
G.
Fantastic meal, great staff and the food was very nice.
z.
Nice place, sports in the television, friendly staff and excellent food.
T.
Good food, good service. Not a bad place for afternoon tea or dinner.
B.
Food was delicious and great value for your money. Nice cozy place and serves to its name "The Ranch" like going back to an old western movie and dining in. Staff are lovely and nice. Plenty of seating around the bar/restaurant as it is two-stories high.
M.
Went a couple of times on stay in town. Standard but quality pub food. Seafood chowder was great.
S.
Fantastic meal great service
M.
ordered surf and turf. great steak and excellent prawn
S.
Can’t complain really, got a table, got our order taken and food came out pretty quick (it wasn’t busy at the time though). Food was nice and you get a lot of it.
Staff were very friendly.
Only issue was that where we sat upstairs was very warm, there was a fan, but I can imagine it getting quite warm on a hot day up there.
A.
Amazing meals staff were super friendly even with how busy they were.
M.
Very busy but we had booked a table earlier in the day. 45 minute wait for our meals. My wife ordered roast lamb and was given roast pork. No one in the kitchen advised there was no lamb left and just gave her pork. The manager apologised profusely, and gave one meal for free.
R.
Arrived definatly a busy place got a good seat after waiting we flagged down a waitesss and ordered our drinks and asked what was best on menu she said lamb roast and lamb shanks, awesome we ordered both, we where told there was a wait due to an issue in kitchen we where OK with that, our wait wasn't that long at all and we where hungry and both meals looked awesome. Lamb roast was to die for whoop whoop. BUT the lamb shanks well actually the lamb shank its self was so delicious and melt in your mouth, that's where it stopped it the potatoes where very crumbly and dry peas OK and gravy good but very little considering menu says lashing gravy.
So I asked for more gravy and out it came but it was awful in fact once I poured it on potaotes it so bad I couldn't eat potato and peas at all. It was definitely not same as on the meal.
Upon going to the to pay the bill and discussing with the waitress ringing up our bill she got very defensive and told me she had sold 75 lamb shank meals that day and I was only one to complain hmmm, when I said the gravy was like bistro out of the box she procedded to tell me the chef made the stock.. hmmm the place is a quick turnover for food (I don't care if its a cook or chef) but very disappointing considering we live in NZ and know what mashed spuds, peas and a good gravy (try Maggi dark meat) are. As you can tell extremely disappointed and the waitress realty needs to learn how to deal with people when they question meal issues, it wasn't about getting 10 percent off it was about being acknowledged, respected and actually listened to. OH by the way handling and kissing someone's puppy by the staff and then serving people food and drinks with out washing your hands is not cool at all.
N.
Great food and service even when it was really busy!!!
R.
Good food, good meat, nice staff.
A.
In a very touristy town, this was a good, solid neighborhood place for a nice meal. The daily roast comes with lots of sides. The lamb shank was fall-off-the-bone tender. All in all, a nice alternative to gastropubs nearby.
L.
We just arrived in this beautiful city and had a dinner here. There services was so nice...! Like it. My father had a ribeye and taste so good. Niece had a lamb shank..and also good. Pork belly for me...my wife had a ribs, and also good. Overall for food and service was great!.
p.
More food options than other nearby restaurants. Good beer and wine selection. Wait staff seemed to work well together and were attentive. Food (med-rare steak with veggies and Caesar salad with poached egg) was cooked perfectly. Nothing was over cooked thank God. We arrived on the early side.. maybe around 16:45 or so.
J.
Pork belly soo good and the service was fantastic
A.
I would say this place is better than fat duck in the fact it has that small town country feel and the food is better priced to suit the serving size!
L.
Casual, toasty warm and welcoming. Popular place, serving amazing food. Loved the 80's music videos.
D.
As a small group of friends, we were told of a wait time which was no problem. It is the middle of summer after all and a wait usually means a good rep, so we settled at the bar and had a few drinks. Half an hour's wait turned into an hour Pluss, so I decided to ask how much longer. We had been overlooked sadly by accident. The manager was very attentive after that, offered apologies and ensured we were well looked after. Andrew went above and beyond, the food and drinks were good, and we actually really enjoyed our evening. Sometimes things go wrong, but he addressed the situation, took ownership and turned things around. Many thanks to you Andrew.
A.
It was crazy busy but the wait staff was amazing! So friendly. The food was great too. Chicken salad 👌
A.
Amazing meal awesome service and extremely quick considering just how busy they were! Great effort team keep up the great work
G.
Food cooked to perfection and plenty of it. The service was excellent and we didn't have to wait long for our meals. Will definitely return and highly recommend.
M.
Excelent food , friendly and helpful staff 🤗
D.
Excellent . Great meal. Very pleasant staff. Will go there again.
S.
Best raspberry coke this side of the Takitimus
M.
Lovely meals. Substantial and well served, good prices. Friendly and helpful staff
G.
Great food and we received a nice personal service as we lost an item in the restaurant and was later returned to us!
W.
Extremely disappointing.
Garlic bread was 2 slices of Vienna bread HALVED! and not smothered in garlic butter like advertised. You'd be better off going to the supermarket for garlic bread - cheaper and more!
Ribeye steak was beautifully cooked, but I wondered where the rest of the meal was. Few vegetables - two sprouts of broccoli, two slices of pumpkin, a dash of carrot - and boring mushroom sauce in which it was hard to locate the mushrooms. = $38
Roast lamb was beautifully cooked, but again so miniscule on vegetables. Like a token gesture rather than a fulfilling and complimentary addition. = $20
Staff were friendly and polite, but if this is supposed to be some kind of American Ranch experience, then forget it. Save the money for better.
M.
Right. Let's have a proper review. Not a made up one like the last (clearly has not been to the TOWN of Te Anau) nor the totally negative reviews from over 3 months ago.
We had dinner here tonight and was served by a delightful French waitress.
When we arrived the place was full, but our drinks orders and meals arrived in a fair time.
This is a pub and as such serves pub food and we found it very satisfactory.
I had the beef Snitzel and my wife the Chicken Snitzel burger, both fine pub food fare.
For desert we shared a cheesecake, chocolate and marshmallows flavor, also very yummy.
If I had believed the last three reviews I would not have gone there, but very pleased we did. Thanks.
T.
We were really keen based on the description on their website after a 400km drive...only to find an unhelpful surly barman. We had one drink and headed down to the Moose sports bar where it was much nicer. I dont like giving bad reviews but he really was not an asset to the business.
W.
Robin had it made. City was safe. Will see if the cape crusader can pick it up another day.
Venison burger was great too.
A.
We needed a place to watch the superbowl and they had a whole set up for it! The staff is super nice, great beer selection and good menu. Two thumbs up!
J.
Had tomato & beef soup, mulled wine and NZ lamb steak. Soup is nice together with mulled wine are great combo to warm our body up during a cold weather. The lamb steak is slight below average but the potato (side) is quite impressive.
t.
It was great nice atmosphere and bar lady good selection of on tap beers.back for tea tonight
K.
Pretty decent western style food at a very cosy restaurant. The meat was tender, the vegetables were not soggy and I loved my nachos. We went at a strange time so the place was rather quiet, but overall I would come back again.
S.
We both had Lamb Roast, lovely vegetables, gravy and white sauce. Service was relaxed and friendly.
E.
Amazing food! Great service! Was busy but wasn't loud.
E.
Great soup of the day!!! And beef also delicious!!!
B.
The chips were very oily and the venison burger I found quite salty. My partner had a lamb salad which she found really good.
C.
Not a bad little pub, one of few in Te Anau. Nice beer selection and very American like food menu. Not enough veggie or vegan options! Staff were great and gaming area is available.
z.
Good food and nice staff
L.
Ate on 8th Jun. Food was delicious. We had lamb steak, shank and roast (3 mains) and the children had mini hotdogs with sundae. My daughter was so pleased with the hotdogs that she requested the review. Sundae had a little too much whipped cream.
D.
We visited a couple of times during our stay in Te Anau. The food was really good quality and good size portions. I was going to give it 4 stars but it got the extra star after we went to the jam night on Thursday.
R.
Great food awesome friendly staff alfresco or cosy indoor seating ideal spot to catch up for a beer or go all out and have a feast
S.
Service was friendly, food wasn't too flash though. Watched the Chef push his hand down on one of our burgers after the placed it under the lights... and staff holding the glasses around the top where we drink from... hygiene people!
I.
Great food and friendly staff and reasonably priced too.
A.
Good food.Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Good beer. Definitely recommend.
I.
Really good day there recommend it as above the rest.
Q.
Extremely friendly waitstaff. Great food and quick service even though the restaurant was busy. Felt like we looked after the entire time. Would definitely come back.
s.
Really clean, friendly and quick service and the meals were really good value for money and tasty.
J.
There’s a reason why the other popular restaurants have higher scores and better reviews. Food here is mediocre. I’d like to think that they’re simply understaff hence the slow service, and tired hence they’re not attentive. If you have a choice, just go somewhere else.
J.
Great menu recommendations. Was very busy but the staff didnt miss a beat. Thank goodness we booked. Thoroughly recommend
P.
Great restaurant with an American theme staff are friendly.
Can be a little expensive for what you get for your money, meals could be a little bigger and larger plates would be nice rather than trying to be trendy and dishing up meals on a small square plates stacking food on top of each element.
K.
Delicious food, lovely friendly staff. Thank you for a great evening.
A.
Very pleased with the vegetarian burger, even more pleased with the service. Patricio was friendly and attentinve even though he was working on his own. A bit costly, but that goes with dining in town centre.
M.
Great food lovely staff
D.
Really good food, staff were fabulous - venison, ribs and monkfish recommended 👍
W.
If you’re looking for the YEE HAW experience in NZ this is the place to go. The decor makes it feel like if cow boys and Indians turned into a restaurant. Food was quite nice and the staff were extremely friendly!
M.
Food was good, Meg our waitress was lovely and looked after us very well
C.
Excellant place, warm, fantastic staff, great place on a cold winters day for a quiet beer and good food
A.
Breakfast was ok, eggs Benedict with bacon. Bacon was a little crunchy, eggs were cooked well, could have done with a bit a greenery on the plate. Hot chocolate was nice
T.
Busy place, had to wait about 30 mins for a table, when we did get a table food was nice & service very good. Getting a drink at the bar was a little slow but normal prices in New Zealand.
R.
Very friendly and attentive staff. Amazing kids food and best chicken schnitzel. Clear apple cider (Isaac) is tops. Highly recommended
L.
Lovely the prawns were wonderful and we also had the roast lamb and mussels and all were very good with great service.
S.
Great place to come for either a nice meal or just a drink. The lamb was amazing. They also have a pool table upstairs with a bar. Also outside seating available.
D.
Fair prices, food was really good!, amazing fish!. Was super busy and they still got our food out fast, would defiantly recommend when visiting Te Anau.
T.
Surprisingly good pub and food
D.
Great Guinness tonight, and good lunch earlier. Good crew. Great banter
K.
Delicious. I highly recommend the venison steak.
Must not miss if you're looking for something original in an awesome ambiance.
The staff is nice, friendly and very welcoming.
A.
The restaurant is decorated really nice, but the food was somewhat disappointing. 16.5$ Burger was a little burnt and 19.5$ Lamb roast was ok but small. Quick service. Good selection of tap beers.
B.
Really enjoyed our meals The service was top. Very happy to recommend
g.
... melt off the bone exquisite Lamb Shank on mashed potatoe served with lucoius gravy and peas. An absolute legendary dish. Gifted stellar service staff. And surely the best, longest running, open mic Jam night in history, upstairs on every Thursday night with lit musicians. It's a must see experience. Fresh off the Great Walks... or on the road to or from Milford Sound, ... it's a one stop location. Lit.
L.
Great food for a great price! I recommend the crumbed chicken with plum sauce, salad and fries. Awesome customer service as well. Conveniently located in town.
S.
Ate one of the best roasts. Dessert is one of the best. Very yummy food and good service
Highly recommended
A.
Delicious food and gorgeous place for dinner:)
M.
Good service lovely friendly staff
I.
Loved the food very good menu
K.
Great food and service, will def be going here again!
A.
The food was okay. No bad but nothing special. Little disappointed with the staff. They were friendly but it didn't seemed that they had any experience at all.
I wouldn't go again.
G.
Good food and selection of beer and wine. Shame you have to listen to country music - down to taste though.
Be aware that they can close early if quiet. We were turned away at 10pm when we went back for an evening drink.
C.
The beer was good but the food was bland and expensive, the chef having a temper tantrum in earshot of customers wasn't a good omen.
P.
Lovely atmosphere and PROMPT service it was unbelievable! We couldn’t have waited more than 10 minutes for our steaks and they were done to perfection, kudos 👏
J.
Decent food and friendly staff. The service was on the slow side and it was fairly pricey but the food was pretty good. Overall would go back again.
D.
I totally recommend it.. Nice service, tasty food and affordable..
We had a beautiful evening 👌😋
O.
Great options and will accommodate what you want to eat changed both our burgers to what we wanted, home made beef patties were to die for tasty chips and cold cold beer !! Don't go past this place do yourself a favour and stop in!
D.
Great place to have a meal , lovely food and great service, highly recommend it , cheers
M.
Good food reception and service. Huge desserts.
R.
Nice, cosy conversion to a Restaurant & Bar. Great Food, as well as it's selections. Space is tight, at peak times. Would recommend booking in advance. Bar is unlimited in selections, with fair pricing.
A.
The potato and leek soup was delicious. The guy serving us both nights was helpful and efficient. My only downfall is I had to pay an addtional $10 to swap chips and salad for mash and vege.
M.
They went the extra mile 2 please us
M.
Delicious Food and friendly staff!!
D.
The price is reasonable and the food was worth the money. The waiter was helpful and informative and there was a wide variety of food. If I had the chance, I might visit again.
I.
The restaurant was busy but we received excellent and quick service. Food was really good and staff were very friendly and attentive, excellent place to eat out

Food was a little slow to come out but amazing. Strongly recommend the venison (and booking as it gets very busy).
p.
Great staff very helpful great food and if you need a drink they got a the lot. Beautiful place to eat and relax. The only place to eat in town
A.
It took soooo loooong for staff to take our order (30min) and they seemed very stressed. The food and drinks however made up for it after waiting for at least another 30 minutes!!! Probably wont go back unless i had lots of time to spend
G.
Delicious Monkfish and salmon. Not really cheap, but good spent money. Excellent desserts, specially lemon merengue pie. Yo repeat and 100% reccomended
P.
Excellent location and such friendly staff. Great snacks or main meals available all at a good price too.
A.
Great food and quick friendly service. Deffs worth a lil stop in if your spending the night in the region.
Y.
Simple but good breakfast menu, very friendly staff, good outdoor seating and a lot less crowded than the Sandfly Cafe down the street.
G.
Good food, very popular place, one might need to wait a bit to have a table but the waiting staff are fast and efficient.

Amazing vegeterian burger with fake beef patty. Really nice staff. Cool atmosphere

Nicely done steak, but remainder a bit disappointing. If you want dietary alterations to the menu, this may not be the place for you.
M.
Amazing food. Need more vegetarian options
K.
Lovely food, staff friendly, really enjoyed our meal!
W.
Keep away from the fish on their menu the tempura batter was doughy and the blue cod was dried out and over cooked however my wife's meal over pork belly was excellent as was the service.
H.
Cool place to spend an afternoon
J.
Food was good. The bartender was great. Atmosphere good too.
B.
Really nice food and great people from the lady that greeted us to the bar and wait staff.

Nice spot to stop on a sunny day, food priced okay for what you get solid option for lunch on the way to Milford. The hostess was very friendly and efficient.

Fantastic service, and a great meal. Highly recommended to everyone.
L.
food great, service outstanding- we will be back! Hospitality as it should be!

Warm and welcoming.. Delicious food and lovely staff. The best mulled wine!
Y.
Food was great and service fast and friendly. It is advised that you either book ahead or arrive early as it is very popular and will fill up quickly.
T.
Friendly staff and the food was okay. It was quite expensive actually for what it was, pretty typical of Te Anau, though. Vibe was good and there seemed to be enough seating, stayed here for about 2 hours
A.
Brilliant food and fantastic service we have already made another reservation for tomorrow night
A.
Staff really on the ball; barman especially ... Even though really busy and had to wait for table, by the time ordered drinks, table was ready. Food came out really quick and was delicious!
r.
Excellent if you order the special meals but can be expensive when it's not Happy Hour & very good service.plus location (background music is played)
L.
Nice food but pretty pricey and small serves.
The staff were very nice and the beer was cold.
s.
Downstairs does a nice meal whilst upstairs is a popular hang out for the local LGBT community on Thursday nights with a live band playing 80s party anthems.
W.

Second time visit this place after many years. Venison dishes are as good as before.

Good food for reasonable price, nice choice of drinks. If you stuck in a rainy day better to boke a table before coming in.
J.
Great friendly service, delicious food.
P.
Great place to eat. Very busy so pays to book.Good staff and very good range of food.

The Sunday Roast for $17.50 it's really good bang for your buck with a descent helping of roast meat & vege's.

Good food & live entertainment. Friendly (& very busy) staff.
H.
Great family atmosphere. Food was great and the service was excellent. Thanks
P.
3.9 seems a bit unfair, it's not haute cuisine and it's a bit basic in decor etc, but food is decent and it caters well in busy times.
t.
They could do with helpful and friendly staff when trying to order dinner, however the staff I got when I went in for breakfast was awesome.
N.
I enjoyed my meal...steak cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Good friendly service
