Pauly's Diner

Great comfort food for a cold evening. We had pulled pork burger, chicken wings and loaded fries - all delicious and generous portions. My husband had a thick milk shake - he said it was the best he had since arriving in NZ - we arrived in 2001!! Customer service - warm and welcoming! We had a First Table booking.

The burgers were just right, freshly cooked and taste great. We didn’t realise how generous the serving size was and over ordered.

Pauly's Dinner is a popular spot, and for good reason—it’s definitely a must-visit! The place was busy, but the food was worth the wait. I got takeout, and the honey chicken was absolutely delicious. The flavors were just perfect! If you’re in the area, I highly recommend trying it out.

Amazing food! Everything was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely a great spot.Highly recommend!

Both the burger and fries were pretty good. No wait when we were there, which was nice. Definitely had some of the best prices that we saw in Taupo.

The Kumara fries with blue cheese sauce are next level. The burgers are epic! Dirty Sanchez and Chili cheese burgers...yum!

Without a doubt, the best cheeseburger I’ve ever had! The meat was cooked to perfection, the bun was the right amount of soft and fluffy and the pickles were fresh and crunchy. A very satisfying meal.

Came here a few years ago due to the hype they had. Came back for lunch and tried a few items. My favourite was the loaded fries 10/10. Would love a version with chopped bacon or fried chicken on it.. the chicken burger was good 8/10 (winner winner is better) the honey butter chicken was tasty 7/10 large portion but a messy takeaway.. it needs a different box as it leaked all through the bag and onto my pants. Caramel shake worth the price it tasted like good quality ingredients. Overall the food was good not great but found the service was friendly and fast too.
