Pauly's Diner

Service was good, food brought to you and friendly workers. Dirty Sanchez Burger - Tasty, Would order again Loaded Fries - Chips and chicken were nice but flavour of sauce was a bit over powering. Fried chicken - Alright 3/5 wouldn’t order again but not too bad. Kids Nugget and Chips - Good, Nugget were standard but curly fries very nice

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 highlight of my NZ trip, these guys knocked it out the park. Double cheeseburger 🍔 was sensational, the brisket smashed patties outstanding, and crinkle cut fries 🍟 delicious. Not to mention the fried chicken 🍗 with blue cheese and sriracha 😋 service was great - food delivered to the table and a satisfaction check done ✅ Wife had the fish burger and that vanished pretty quickly, so must have been good 😊

Taupo's Best Burgers was advertised so I had to try it. The Kiwiana Burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had and the best part was the overload of sauces. Beef was high quality and the bacon was really tasty. Also get the potato loaded fried as that was delicious. We really enjoyed the glass drink bottles like the classic L&P bottles so much that we kept our bottles. Atmosphere is great and the service was perfect. My only complaint was the honey butter fried chicken could be saliter as I couldn't taste the butter. Overall, great place that I'll recommend to others!

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.

Bit of a let down from recent years. I recall the chicken kahuna burger being crispy and juicy with a good sized meat portion but even paying for a double it was hardly any good. Fiance said worst cheese burger shes had in a long time. Coke in a glass bottle was the best thing about our order. Such a shame 😐 Service good but very poor product.

Ordered the Kiwiana Burger, looked great, but after a few bites I couldn’t finish it. The periperi Hollandaise was so hot I couldn’t taste the good and my mouth was burning. Would have appreciated a heads up on the menu that this had some kick to it as I would’ve ordered something else. Great if it’s your vibe but not for me. I assumed it was a mild Peri peri. Not impressed with that as I really wanted to eat it all! Thick shakes were yum!
