The Good Home Mt Eden reviews

As soon as you step foot inside The Good Home in Mt Eden it definitely lived up to the name THE GOOD HOME. Warmth homely welcome as we were greeted by bar male staff name Sam, he smiled and asked how we both are and how can be of help, once we told him of our reservations he was quick to direct us to our table booked and recommended selections of drinks while we wait.
Once we seated we were greeted by the most amazing human of a female her name is Renee, shes exceptional very attentive and my partner and I can sense how genuine she really is, it wasnt she was just doing her job but as a person she was very kind, helpful and caring. Thank you very much Renee we wish you the best in your future.
So thank you very much The Good Home, foods, services, atmosphere top notch and we will definitly come back and bringing more friends.
Food seems a little pricey, but the serving sizes are huge. You definitely won't leave hungry.
Low rent pub food for gastro pub prices. The $16 for dismal kids burger was outrageous. Ok atmosphere.
Very expensive food. Our cycling team met there as it was central for us all. As the food is really expensive we thought we would take up there promotional offer '$20 Burger and chips for sports teams. ' They had a poster on the wall advertising this.
They refused to sell us the burger and forced us to order the $32 burger. The reason given? 'Cycling is not a sport'.
$32 for a burger, $25 for Poutine, $13 for a bowel of average chips. The prices of the menu is absolutely outrageous, and offensive. Have never come across this type of establishment with these prices. Daylight robbery
We sat for 15 minutes after being welcomed told to take a seat. Watched the many staff walking around socialising with each other. Staff even walked to the table beside us to clear it and ignored us. We promptly walked out. RUDE.
Met up with ex work colleagues. We got there early, it does get busy & can be noisy. Food was v good
Outstanding service. We asked for our food quickly, as we were heading off to Eden Park for kick off. Nicely cooked chicken burgers arrived in just the time it would have taken to cook them. Thanks to the staff.
Went here on good friday night for dinner - worth every cent! Ordered Chicken, steak & side of ribs all of which tasted amazing. Food was nice and hot to enjoy, flavours we’re mouthwatering! Couldn’t finish everything and still had left overs to take home. This will absolutely be me & my gfs go to spot from now on!
Absolutely love this place!
Accidently stumbled upon looking for a cuppa late evening with my buddies on a rainy day. Omy the place is a stunner. The food is simply drool worthy. Might sound like I'm exaggerating, but that day I walked away fully satisfied! Excellent service, ambience and food. And that's very rare! Deffo coming back
First time visiting The Good Home and came away happy. Staff were great and the food was delicious. Will go there again.
Food ranges from excellent to average, a little bit of a lottery each time as to the size and quality of your meal. However the food is always tasty and when it is right it is excellent.
They lost our credit card after they asked for one to set up a tab.
To correct the inconvenience, they did give us some of our tab for free, but made it sound as if an additional round would be on them to apologise. Turns out that last round wasn't, so we ended up paying for a round of drinks we wouldn't have as we were keen to leave before we found out they had lost our card.
A great place to come with a group of friends, with a great selection of drinks and food to pick from!
Had birthday dinner, due to my limited hearing in both ears asked for a quiet table. On arrival we were shown to a room on the right hand side. Our party were the only diners in the room. Prior to arrival rang and asked about part payment of the bill with a prezzy card - no problem. Likewise one of our party requires gluten free food. There is a number of food options on the menu. For dessert no options on the menu, after discussions they advised they would make a gluten free dessert available. The phone call was with Louise who was most helpful. On the night, Ali looked after us very well, good beer/drink options and the food was very good. Thanks to 'the team' for making the evening stress free. Would have no hesitation in returning and will definitely do this.
Love the pub and great atmosphere although food could be a little something different. I feel like its all fairly generic pub grub, but after a few pints who cares, right?
22/01/21- came back today to give them a chance, but the pastry on the wellington was nothing but glue and the beef horrible. The pork porchetta was as hard as rubber. The waitress circled 3 times and didn't ask why the food was placed at the end of the table. No changes here unfortunately.
Terrible, just terrible. From our first meal on their opening when they couldnt get the food hot and the waiter sweating into the food (and half pie apologies from the then owners) to returning 2 weeks ago (with same manager), nothing has changed. (2 visits in a week)
The pie, with 2 pieces of carrot and 3 peas inside.to sit with peas and carrot as accompanied vege (?) was just awful, and the 6hr twice cooked pork belly is a complete lie. The chewiest pile of swill.
I said something to the waitress and were added a $20 meal adjustment or changes for the issue that I didn't raise directly (and asked the waitess to be forgotten as why I didn't eat the meal), and inadvertently paid. I should have checked the Bill closer. They would have got away with it if I could have ordered more than 1 beer. Just terrible inattentive service.
Awareness results in expectations. Expectations can be met with disappointment.
I had way too much awareness for this place upon its opening had good expectation upon its continence and my result was met with its continual laziness. This is around 3-4 years now.
Do not eat here ever. Save your money.
Great experience. The food is superb and cooked to perfection. Our waitress was super friendly and always checked on us regardless of how busy it was. Child friendly as they have a play area + crayons and colouring activities.
Legit BOMB as food had lunch with my sisters yesterday. Every single meal was BOMB and soooo hearty and full. We island girls we love our food. Good home delivered Worth every cent. To top it off service was joe warm greeting well he seated us all and the young woman who took our order forgot to ask her name ️ Honestly hands down made us feel welcomed ️ You guys ticked off all the boxes. We will diffently be back again worth drive from south AUCKLAND
