Description

Blue Ox Babe delivers bold American-style BBQ with an adventurous Asian-fusion edge. Diners praise attentive, knowledgeable staff and hands-on management, plus an easy online booking system and creative drinks. Standout dishes include brisket, pork belly, papaya salad and Tom Yum noodles; pickles earn special mention. Some ribs, duck and portion-for-price draw mixed reactions, and occasional strict table-turn policies can feel rushed. Overall a lively, family-friendly Pukekohe spot for flavorful, well-served fare.

Easy to make a reservation online. Good contact and amazing service, before and during. So easy to order and delicious food on the menu. A bit pricey but most definitely worth it. Great platters for shared eating and a fantastic atmosphere to dine in.
