Fat Dog

A tasty lunch in Rotorua - we had the Steak Sandwich, the Tropical Fish Burger and a couple of caramel milkshakes. All delicious and fresh. It was quite busy when we went for lunch - but understandably so. We were lucky and snagged a table with not much waiting and ordered our meals and drinks at the counter. We were informed of a 30-minute wait for food, but I'm pretty sure it was delivered to the table faster than that. The food was good quality, and quite filling we skipped breakfast this day - and only wanted dinner at around 8:30. Strongly recommend.

Woke in Rotorua looking for the best eggs Benny an we found it at the Fat Dog. I had the Woofer breakfast which I couldn't eat on my own even on an empty tummy. My partner had the smoked salmon eggs Benny which he Loved, loved the Hasbrown blocks! service was amazing, atmosphere very pleasing, service was super FAST! It was not even 9am an the fat dog was so alive. WE LOVE THE FAT DOG . well be back tonight when the bar opens

Knowledgeable staff who are also extremely friendly & considerate! Helped us customize the veggie works for our friend with celiac disease so she could safely eat!!! My wife really enjoyed the breakfast waffles, and my woofer was delectable!

I was so excited for my breakfast and I even wait 40 minutes. My plate looks bad, no much love in it at all. Come on guys! Keep it up! Your are iconic place in Rotorua and people go there excited because probably someone told them about how amazing you are. I know was a busy morning but I still paid full price for my meal.

Absolutely love this place. Great coffee and food. Suited our group of Mother in law, wife and wife's daughter. I had the "Woofer", pictured, OMG! I could barely walk back to the car. Flavours were awesome. All of us enjoyed our food. Coffee cake in big mugs, great. Very eclectic clientele so great for people watching. Lovely friendly staff even though they were rushed off their feet, they made us feel welcome and that we mattered to them. Will always visit when in Rotorua.

Went for brunch the day after Boxing Day. Got seated quickly and food came relatively quickly. Portion sizes were huge, including the kids' meals; great for older kids. A must visit!!

Cafe style decor. Friendly staff. The chicken sesame salad with cashews had very little flavour. Was disappointing to eat. The chips were delicious. The burger was enjoyed. Would only return for the fries.

Great atmosphere and accommodating to special needs clients. Wide selection of food to order and lots of treats in the cabinet. Funky table markers. Bright and welcoming.

Cool spot with busy lively atmosphere and funky decor. Couple of disappointing aspects on the food: 1 There is no real Gluten Free option or much consideration for other dietary needs. 2 The scrambled eggs were pretty tasteless and wet, with some liquid running from them onto the plate. None of the staff asked me for any feedback about my food as I ate or when finished. Staff also didn't offer alternatives or seem to take action from the feedback about lack of GF options on the menu. As a side note: If you opt not to have the toast you don't get any money off but you do still get the butter.

Delicious meal the Dog’s Benny. Coffee came with a little sweet caramel treat, however the coffee itself wasn’t too flash. Good vegetarian options.
