Joe's Garage Five Mile

I was enticed here by the music, but I stayed for the hospitality and selection. This is a laid-back American Diner style bar with a modern industrial design. The staff are all so friendly, more so than in most bars. Dogs are welcome, and from what I saw, well looked after by staff.nnI had a dessert last time, and it was lovely. This time, I had a few drinks that were reasonably priced given the location and facilities.

Enjoyed the meal! Visited during lunch and the crowd was small. Ordered “The Local” and the “JFC” chicken bites! Chicken a little on the dry side but seasoning was good. Liked the brotwurst and eggs!

I'm rather disappointed in my overall experience at Joe's in Queenstown. Firstly I made a booking 2 weeks in advance and on arrival the only space they had for me and my 2 friends was a table that sat 12. We ended up moving as they sat us next to the door and it was pouring and freezing outside. The waiter was very lovely though. I ordered the eggs on toast and a mocha. I was disappointed to find there was only 2 options fried or scrambled eggs, which is just the lazy version of frying The eggs were perfectly runny in the middle as I asked however the rest of the egg was chewy and uneadible. The mocha came to me cold and way too strong. I let the waiter know upon leaving and she kindly offered to have it made again and then refund me. Overall the waiter was the highlight of this trip.

Loved my pumpkin and beetroot vegetarian bagel here! Haven’t tasted anything like that before. The service was excellent, got a table fairly quick during busy hours as well. Highly recommended!
