Play Pokies at Elsie's Restaurant & Bar in Tuakau

Great place to meet up with friends and family- can book ahead if you have a large group and you are set up in a separate area off the restaurant.
Food was great - large portions- everyone enjoyed their meals - several menus to choose from - includes a child's menu and a seniors menu.
Highly recommend the roast lamb!

Sadly I used to love dinning at Elsies.
There are three main reasons why I don't come back.
One there is one woman behind the bar she is so rude! It's like a it's a chore for her to serve you. I don't have an issue with the rest of the staff as they are amazing.
Two is the food. It used to be great and value for money. I have returned more meals than I have eaten lately.
The reason number 3 is that the pub area is at times unsafe with no effective security. If I come in it will only be during the day time when there aren't may people there.
I hope management read this and act upon it.

Just thought it was time to say something about this lovely bar and it's people.
We regularly visit on a Saturday after bowls, quick drink and a bowl of fries, the girls behind the bar are always very pleasant and the service is good.
Food is always of good quality and quantity is generous.
Always look forward to our visit.

Good food & Service with a variety of meals to cater for all. They are happy to accommodate food preferences where they can (gluten free etc) Toni does a fantastic job managing the restaurant & bar. We attend Trivia night, always fun. Cheers to the chefs & staff & Paul the Trivia Master. Highly recommend.

Had a meal here a few weeks ago and the lovely young lady that served me and my husband made our night, she had all her customers laughing and enjoying themselves, checked up on everyone a few times and made sure we were happy. Food was AS ALWAYS delicious! No issues there! Our drinks did take a little while to come out but the lady serving us reassured they will be out soon. The bar was busy so we understood. Overall always happy to dine in 100% recommend
