Coolcat Ice Cream Parlor

First time in Napier, and friends brought us here. Chicken is a must try *ofcourse!, very juicy, tender, and not overly dry though might benefit for a little bit of roasting! The kumara and potatoes are yum, gravy might need a bit of salt and pepper. Chips are salted and crisp, loved them to be honest! (I hate soggy ones! Price is reasonable for the serving size, accommodating staff, waiting time is okay ish, it was a busy moment when we arrived but waited for about 5mins before our food got served (despite the fact that our group was a large one! .

A timeless classic. Honestly, I feel like you haven't been to Napier until you've been to Hot Chick Cool Cat. The chicken is awesome. It's barbecue chicken, what's not to like? The chips are nice too. Forget about the rest. Not because it's not good, I actually don't know, because it's too much of an opportunity cost to try anything else on the menu! I usually go for a whole chicken and a chips so I have food to re-heat later. It's also on prime real estate by Spriggs Park. Come for the Art Deco, stay for the barbecue chicken, I say. And as a wise jingle once stated: there's a hot, hot chick and a cool, cool cat, on the beach, by the sea in the sun. It's the Hot Chick the Cool Cat, and that folks, is that.

Nice place staff is friendly, ice cream prices are little higher than what you would get at your local supermarket frustratingly long line so I suggest you come early not in the afternoons. perfectly seasoned fries over all nice place.

Chips were a favourite but they changed the cooking oil, and added chicken salt to the chips which is not as good as before but still a great place to visit for volcanic rock cooked chicken, also they don't sell the 30 cent sauce and the takeaway box is now smaller for some reason? Staff are great. Location is well just look at these pictures and decide for yourself...

This place has been here for years and I remember going here as a kid on holiday. Everything here taste amazing the large chips is massive and can easily feed multiple people and the chicken is delicious
