I ordered a late breakfast that fueled me all the way to Roys Peak. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, always willing to assist with directions and suggestions. Thank you!

The only downsides are that the spicy chicken wings are overly salty, and the squid is a bit greasy. However, the sauce that comes with the squid is absolutely delicious.

We had previously visited when it was called Lone Star and were not impressed, but the new management has certainly made a positive change. The place is child-friendly and offers generous portion sizes, which is perfect after a long day of skiing. Plus, we had a great view of the climbing wall next door while we ate! The kids especially loved the make-your-own ice cream sundae bar.

The staff was very friendly and smiling, I was even entitled to a candle on my cake for my birthday! I ordered the Unforgiven: 250gm rib eye steak, creamy potato gratin, grilled portobello mushrooms, black garlic butter, chimichurri jus seasonal vegetables. How to say ? It was a delight! I loved ! The meat was perfect !! The best piece of meat I have eaten in the last 11 months! The mushrooms were very good too! The dessert was good but not amazing, it is especially the cooking and the seasoning of the meat which was incredible !

Jack Rabbit's was very good. The food is among the best I've had in NZ without the typical pseudo-gourmet accents. read more Jack Rabbit's was very good. The food is among the best I've had in NZ without the typical pseudo-gourmet accents.
