Stone BBQ Buffet — Restaurant in Hibiscus and Bays

Very VERY low quality. I am severely concerned about the health and safety of this place. There is no visible rating for this restaurant, there WAS A FIRE IN THE KITCHEN, it was understaffed, the orange juice tasted like medicine, BBQ paper was not changed regularly, leading to charred bits of paper sticking to the meat and rips in the paper. Honestly, I don't trust this place any more. Also, the pricing system needs to be changed, as it has several flaws. It is based on height, and not age. Because of this, shorter people are advantaged. People like myself are a bit taller than average, but this could just be the person being skinny, and not eating a lot, whereas people who are shorter but eat more could be paying less. The meat itself was pretty average, but they had a ice-cream machine which is cool I guess? Maybe focus more on the actual service.

All in all, don't...

First off let's start positive: The staff were friendly and smiling and never forgot small details such as leading us to our seat, providing napkins, and changing the baking paper. The fruit was fresh, and there was a variety of dishes to choose from. The atmosphere was on point. Then, the downsides: I don't know if it was the meat or the baking paper, but the meat came out really oily, and everyone I ate with felt really nauseous. I would also recommend some better ventilation, because when I went that day, most of the seats were full, and if all the people turned on their oven and cooking meat the room gets very steamy and smells like burnt meat, which made it a little difficult to breathe. The price, it was quite high, after feeling nauseous, made the money seem like it...

This is easily the best BBQ buffet I had in Auckland. It's more like a quality boutique BBQ restaurant compared with others. Their meat is so fresh and you can tell it's all quality meat. I also really like their bbq plate, it's hot in the middle, and you can keep cooked food on the side so that it's still warm. Despite all the compliments for their bbq, their all you can eat hot and cold dishes are also top notch. they are all hand made in store, chef is from my hometown, he used to be the head chef of chain restaurants, all the hot and cold dishes are really authentic. Make sure you are hungry and have strategy when you are here, you can easily find something you really enjoy and might just keep having that. The strategy is to take more varieties but in small quantity. 😊. Highly...
