Broken Hill
4.6 / 5 (3709 reviews)

Description

Book a reservation for a first class restaurant in Nelson and was super disappointed. Bad service, lackluster food, and underwhelming atmosphere. Steep prices for small portions, average experience overall. Some highlights include great service, top-notch decor, and delicious meat, but menu lacks healthy options. Fried chicken was a standout, with amazing sauces and fantastic flavors. Fast service, cool vibe, and good beer selection, though portions may leave some hungry. Overall, a mixed bag with some hits and misses, but worth a try for the unique dishes and enjoyable ambiance.

Thank you, Broken Hill, for truly outstanding food and drinks. They accommodated us when we showed up early, too! The cocktails were delicious, the service was attentive, and the BBQ top quality. We would love to come back next time we’re in Nelson.

Had the fried chicken, so good! The red sauce was a tad spicy (and I can take the heat) so you may want to go with the white sauce if you aren't wanting that level of spiciness. The chicken itself was sooo good. Got the 2 piece and it was a lot of food. We also shared some mac and cheese, it was yummy! Bottles of wine are priced reasonably as well as glasses of wine. Service was very good, wait times were good. Ambience is pretty cool (if you don't like stuffed animals (taxidermy) this may not be the place for you).

The only thing that I didn't care for was the lack of a dessert menu. Sorry but peanut butter pie just doesn't make it. YUK!

The Broken Hill experience was absolutely amazing! The server was just absolutely amazing, top-notch service deserving a solid five stars. They were very attentive at our table, asking many questions and promptly providing water when needed. The drinks were simply delicious--I enjoyed the wine while my partner savored The Negroni, and many at the table loved the old fashioned drinks; top-notch beverages! The whiskey selection was great, and the food was equally delightful. The brisket stood out as the best--truly excellent meat quality. And let's not forget the mac cheese--absolutely delicious! Additionally, the art on the walls was pretty cool, adding to the overall ambiance. The restrooms were awesome--the sinks with their unique faucets were really impressive. Kudos for the well-done art on the walls and the attention to detail in the restroom designs! ‍

We had a wonderful brunch experience at Broken Hill. The food was amazing, especially the brisket Mac and cheese which was unreal. The drinks, including the delicious espresso martini, were fantastic. Our server was friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this hidden gem in Nelson.
