What Smokeout likes about Kaikoura Seafood Bbq:
Excellent food!!!! Everything was fresh and the butter sauce was D E L I C I O U S!!! Seafood platter is a must try value for money! $58 for huge plate. Seafood chowder was cheap and good. Crayfish was delicious, bought the $154 NZD one which was huge!!! Tip: there is meat in the legs of the crayfish too so don’t just eat the body! Really dig in!!! The place closes before 5pm though so do come early! View all feedback.

The seafood is not fresh enough. Just take a rest and have a lunch is okay. The queue is long, expected to wait at least 30-45mins

Too much hype, but the food is a let down. Fun looking for a beach side food stall but disappointing meal.
