I recently picked up dinner from this restaurant and was very satisfied with my experience. The price per person was between NZ$10-20, which I found to be very reasonable. The food was amazing, I would rate it a 5 out of 5. The service was good but could be improved, I would give it a 3 out of 5. The atmosphere of the restaurant was excellent, I would rate it a 5 out of 5.

We tried fried chicken with medium hot and the spicy fries. Fried chicken is so tasty and juicy, and the quantity of fries is fair. In my humble opinion, it's the best fried chicken I've tried in Wanaka. If you need ketchup, notice that it costs extra 2 NZD. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This is my second time visiting this restaurant and it was even better than the first time. The burger I had was the best I've ever tried. The chicken was cooked perfectly with delicious sauce. The staff appeared hardworking. I had read some negative comments about Sam before visiting, but I completely disagree with them. Overall, I rate the food, service, and atmosphere all a 5 out of 5.

The plant-based chicken tenders, fries, and coleslaw were delicious and the portion size was very generous.

They only have the vegan chicken burger available or you can also buy the vegan chicken pieces. Fries are good. But the vegan chicken is really good, I loved it. They know how to do it.
