Dixie Browns - Dixie Browns 38 Roberts Street

Best food ever! Chefs cooking is onnnn, I also loved the beautiful bubbly Māori waiter who kept making sure we were okay na mihi sis only thing is that door is super cold if your sitting beside it, I recommend sitting away from the door during this season just to keep warm other than that we will be back again soon From Ana & Hare Ruatoki Kawerau

Awesome service. Very welcoming staff. Very professional, 5⭐ for that. Absolutely ? happy about the services. Food, good size 5⭐ again for that. For the taste, 5⭐. Very friendly for kids too.

Our family had a great meal here. Tried some recommendations on local beers and loved them. The food was great and atmosphere was nice. Staff were friendly and attentive (but not annoying). Our kids were happy as well with some things to do and they loved their meals. I can definitely recommend the Tequila Lime Chicken.

Nice friendly service and atmosphere. Food was good. Great selection of reasonably priced cakes and slices to have with coffee. Coffee best we've had

I give 5 star????? Food Superb chef quality, simple but cook to perfection, tasty and lovely. Staff friendly. Good for local or transit place to have meal. Good Job and recommended!!

My family and I visited Dixie Brown for the first time recently by accident on the 19th of Jan and I am glad to say it was a very good accident indeed. Before I get to the good part of our experience, unfortunately there were some negatives. As we entered in, our family was forced to enter into the restaurant again as they could not check our vaccine passes at our table. The waitress then took us around and we got to seat at the exact table we chose at the very beginning. The unfortunate part was that the family at the next table had their vaccine passes checked right at the table. There was some obvious discrimination there by the female staff. Also, its very difficult to get service at the table, and we were not given any cutlery or serviettes with our meals. Please bring the cutlery along with our meal. It also would be recommended to have some type of service device on tables as it is very challenging to get service especially during peak times. Now to the good parts and there is more than one! Our main server George was absolutely amazing, we experienced some great customer service from him. He was attentive, friendly and talkative. He is a perfect example of what excellent customer service should be and how it should be exhibited. Now to the most important part... THE FOOD!!! We initially went in thinking we would order drinks. We had the Irish coffee, Death by chocolate, lemonade and ginger ale. The Irish coffee is highly highly recommended by my Mom and Mom just wants to go back for more. All their drinks, spot on. We then had a look at the menu and decided to order some deserts. We had the cheesecake and waffles. One negative was that the dishes were too sweet, the syrup on the waffles would be better on the side rather than pre-poured on the plate. Just so the customer can choose the amount they want. The cheesecake was to die for, also very sweet but definitely worth it. At this moment we were having such a good experience we decided to look at the dinner menu. Let me tell you, we would have regretted making that decision if we had walked out after the desserts. We ordered the special that day which was the Lobster tail and rather than eye fillet we replaced it with the fish. Excellent no complains there, highly enjoyable and worth it. We also had the BBQ chicken pizza, it was smokey, it was cheesy, it was crispy. Again very highly recommended. This place is definitely recommended for anyone who visits Taupo even if its for drinks.

We usually don't visit same place more than once when we travel as like to try different things. But we loved this restaurant so much we came back on the second night. Not only the food was A+++ but the staff is incredibly professional and make the whole experience even nicer. Other than the menu items, the dessert cabinet is incredible and i would say even if you are full from your dinner- get one of those desserts take away anyway- it's worth it . Extra points for checking Vaccine Passes, thank you .

Went to Dixie Browns twice over the last year. First time we were stopping through from Wellington and just looking for a family meal. We stopped for pizza and some mains. The desserts looked good but we had to keep going. I kept the place in mind for a trip back with the kids again. The next visit things were much busier and it was difficult to get a table, a bit of a wait on food but otherwise good the only thing was we thought we saw a donut in the dessert cabinet, ordered a donut and it turned out to be a cheesecake. They were very busy though and mistakes can happen (they don’t do donuts at all). All good. The strawberry shake definitely was a hit. I enjoyed the pork belly and the tequila chicken. The peanut butter brûlée was great and the cheesecake was actually great though the person who ordered the donut doesn’t like cheesecake ??
