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.

The food was amazing. We shared the asian fusion platter and a meat platter between 7 of us. There was plenty of food (enough for at least 3 more people) and everyone enjoyed it. Service was fantastic. For some of us this was our first time here, we will be back! The team also took the time to show us the BBQ and explain how it all works that in itself is pretty impressive. Food: 5
