Ruakaka Tavern

Pretty nice place, food was great, definitely would come here again!

Great food and very good service! Kids menu is huge and delicious too.

Took the family to surf and turf restaurant in my home town Ruakaka had a wonderful meal in pleasant surroundings chef Warren served us delicious food cooked exactly how we wanted it. The restaurant which is part of the Ruakaka Tavern although operating kind of on its own was quiet so I suggest all locals call in and have a great meal and take the kids who are catered for on the menu and enjoy. And if you're driving past on state highway one turn onto Port Marsden road go past the shopping center next left and you are there. And as I always say you will be made to feel most welcome

Initial thoughts were the place was a bit rough and not much to look at. It is very much sports bar. However the food is the same they provide for the restaurant which was closed at the time and it was really good with great a great portion size. I had the Tomahawk steak and my partner had the chicken salad, both were great and plentifully not to mention great value for money, staff were really friendly and accommodating. Recommended.

Lovely people, friendly.tasty food. Highly recommended. The most versatile and friendly staff. Chef even made a special broth for a friend with special dietry needs At least 10 rating Awsom place and staff
