Joe's Garage Wellington

You know that bbq you have every summer with family and friends where you cook up quality burgers and laugh about the good old days? Yes or no? Either way, sitting down for a burger from Joe’s Garage is just like that, except a wee bit fancier and you’re in a garage. Their burgers earn them a well deserved third placing, with choices like roast lamb and haloumi, sirloin steak and caramelised onion, chicken and streaky bacon, and of course beef and swiss cheese. Yes, the price point is noticably higher than your average takeout, but to have a garcon on hand with advice and smiles-a-plenty to attend to your needs sweetens the deal considerably.

Joe’s Garage has the relaxed feel of a beachside restaurant, with a modern twist. The menu comes complete with an array of burgers, filled rolls, and hot dogs. All items on the menu are simple, tasty and made in front of you in the open kitchen. If American-diner style food isn't for you, why not treat yourself to pancakes for dinner or even porridge if it takes your fancy. I recommend trying the frankfurter roll, at $11.80 it is sufficient enough to fill you up without leaving you too bloated with a food baby.

Down the bottom of Tory Street, Joe’s Garage serves up American Diner style deliciousness. Their hot plates are always a sizzle with bacon and their coffee pots are always ready to pour your next cup o' joe. For that true Americana experience you have to try their awesome burgers.
