“ We had the privilege of enjoying dinner at this great restaurant tonight while staying in pio pio. We ordered ribs w/ chips and vege and bbq chicken pizza, the pizza was phenomenal and beautifully cooked. We also ordered kids meal with came with a generous portion of chips and an "mini" brownie dessert that was big enough for an adult and equally delicious. Was great portion sizes for what we paid. The ribs came right off the bones and tasted incredible also packed with flavour. Was probably the best bbq pizza we have between AUS and NZ. The service was great and they were very kind and accommodating particularly since i couldnt decide what to eat. Definitely worth a stop if you are travelling around or just happen to be close by and in need of dinner. ”
