Fat Boys Tavern Bistro - Auckland

Last night for the first time. It was a great experience. I was very slept and too lazy to cook so late at night (9:30am), these guys were the hit. I have braided pig that came out super fast with some spits. My husband really liked the look of the grilled cuts, so he ordered 5, the staff was nice enough to check if we really need 5! Absolutely not. Great place best catsu, milkshake and beers are served in an ice cup

Nice place with plenty of different dishes, a lot of BBQ option, lamb beef chicken veggie.. and many more. But also rice dishes. Many drink options a well. From alcohol to soft or milky one. It can be hard to get staff attention when you want to order.

It took a while for the servers to come and take the orders but food came out relatively fast. They open until late so if you want to drink and have a fun night with your friends come here and enjoy it.

Is this worth $43.50? I ordered to take away: 4 lamb skewers 4 beef skewers 5 chicken skewers 3 tendon skewers 2 beef tongue skewers 1 can of coke From the zomato menu I calculated this to cost around $30. Aparently the prices are wrong?? I don't know. If you're thinking of getting takeaway here ask yourself whether the photo represents a meal worth $43.50. Food oily and cold. I was shocked at how even after ordering this much, the boxes were barely half full even considering that I had ordered a few days earlier and we received much more food then I have this time. Definately won't return.

We were sat at the table 3. Our table was sticky and dirty like you could see marks of some cups or bottles of drinks. But the staff didn’t clean it and just put the menu on the table. After we ordered, we kept a menu book just in case we ordered more later. And the restaurant got busier and a female staff casually took our menu without asking us or even looking at us. We would have happily agreed for her to take the menu if she asked us. Food-wise, I don’t recommend the basic ‘beef’ skewers bc it’s too chewy. ‘Beef tongue’ was tasty. And I don’t recommend ‘lamb’ if you like lamb because if its scent. Their lamb is too subtle that I couldn’t tell it was lamb. Once we finished dinner, we wanted to try their slot machines. My husband tried to change a $10 note into coins with their change machine. But nothing came out so he asked a male staff who seemed like the owner there for help. And he suddenly told my husband off aggressively saying “Don’t use $10! Only $50 or $100!” But there was no warning about it near or on the machine. I would never recommend this place to my loved ones.
