Attracted by fun decor and family friendly menu. AWFUL experience to say the least, would NOT go back again.

After eating the ‘Mexican’ burger, special of the day, my partner hurried to the bathroom! SPEWING etc. This lasted for several hours. This is the reason we left-

I had the garlic prawns, drowned in ‘garlic/butter’ sauce, gluggy and tasted straight out of a packet.

Saltn pepper squid, soggy, and chewy.

Curly fries – remnants of curly fries,off cuts/ bits and pieces.

Spoke to the owner who came across as defensive, and disingenuous. He was adamant food poisoning takes 6-8 hours for symptoms to show, actually couldn’t believe he was serious, and to top it off he-suggested that night I take my sick partner to the doctor and get blood tests!!

Waste of money.

We decided to have lunch there as we were driving past.
The board outside said that kids eat free Monday’s & Tuesday’s when adults (1 kid per adult) order a main at more than $20.
We all thought the decor was really awesome and the kids got pictures to colour in which was cool.
There was only 1 other table occupied at that point & the staff member that served us was friendly enough.
We ordered 2 kids Battered Fish & Curly Fries which the kids really seemed to like & 3 chocolate shakes which were really nice and a lemonade.
We also got a Salt & Pepper Mushrooms, Finger Food Combo, & a Serious Steak Burger.
The Salt & Pepper Mushrooms while coated well did not really have much of the salt & pepper flavour. The Finger Food Combo was just ok but slightly over cooked. I got given a Steak Sandwich instead of a Serious Steak Burger as it had 2 pieces of bread on the outside and no burger buns as pictured and when I questioned the girl serving us saying that this does not look like what was pictured she said that was how it was ment to be! The steak was like two thin cuts of well overdone roast beef and was not nice at all. When I went to pay we were charged $80.20 which at the time I thought was quite expensive but later realised that they charged us for the kids fish & chips when they shouldn’t have.
We really wanted to like the place as the atmosphere is awesome but in reality the service is less than average, the food is at best bad to ok, & the price does not reflect value for money which would be ok but not with the service or the food like it is. There are far better places to spend your money and I doubt it will last long. Quite a shame really!

Walk by decision to enter.
Decor well decked out and interesting. Pretty full on the night.
Menu was easy to understand, pictures looked good and helped the decision process.
Drinks ordered. Did not come as described or as shown. Fruit Fizz did not have the pineapple wedge or umbrella. Instead a small strawberry which was looking rather dated.
The meal was brought to the table – but hey guys knives and forks to eat with would have been a good start. Shouldn’t have had to get up and hunt down staff to provide same. The waiter who delivered the meals too the table should have noticed that. So customer service on the night was poor. No one asked at the table if the meal was alright. Did not feel welcomed.
Couldn’t fault the steaks. The salad was limp and lettuce stalks were brown. Vegetables were warm. Quality of the fruit and vege on the night was overall not good.
Price wise – there are better establishments around.

Went in for a pork sandwich put were offered little choice, We settled for the Kids Burger as they were less expensive than the others. However when they came, they were worse than what one can get at MacDonalds for $2. We were charged $20.80 for 2. Back to burger fuel. Awful. Never never again.

We ate here last night, loved the relaxed atmosphere, the staff super friendly and hepful. Not a long wait for the food and when we got it we were all happy with our choices tasty and cooked well, the salad was fresh and crisp. We would all return again on our next drive through Hamilton.

really dissappointed with the food…veges are cold, fries are cold,no tomato sauce…no sauce at all… steak seems to be cooking in slow cooker for “18″ hrs..its like eating a boiled steak then chuck on the griller for 1 min on each side to get that grill stripes…and for that price! not again…

Third time I have been since it opened and I really enjoy the food and great service.
The Prime Rib steak was excellent and washed down with a cold beer, I couldn’t fault it. Great work

The staff were really friendly and our food was pretty good. My husband could see into the kitchen, and was really impressed with how often he saw the chef wash his hands. The menu was what you would expect, from a chain, but we went as a family and our children behaved and ate their food, largely due to the fact that they were given coloring in pencils etc, and they liked the food and decor. To me that is a good night out!

I went to dine at Hogs Breath cafe on Thursday night and I’ve got to tell you, it was honestly the best dining experience. first of all the staff they were super amazing, i like the way they sit down at the table with us as if they were dining with us it made myself and my husband very comfortable. the kids meal come out super fast, we only waited 5minutes for our appetizers and 17 minutes for our mains. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to family and friends their 18 hour slow cooked steak is to die for !!

I would not recommend hogs breath cafe to anyone!!! Eveeeeeerrr!! The food was disgusting!! I would have enjoyed mcdonalds 10x more and it would have costed us ALOT less!! My chicken in my chicken burger was cold and I’m pregnant. Charcoal chunks were stuck to the bottom of the chicken, flavorless, next to no sauces, lettuce was limp and brown on the tips with oil seeping out of the store bought week old bun. The hogs tail fries look like they were scooped out from under the deep fryer. Hubby’s burger had cheap store bought patties with transparent cracking processed cheese slices, and a bun absolutely revolting bun oozing with oil. Over priced drinks.

Your sure to be disappointed eating here. Nothing is prepared fresh in kitchen. Thankfully I was not charged for my burger and my husband recieved 10% off his burger. Staff were helpful, and friendly fourtunatly. But we left extremely un happy and will never return to hogs breath again. They really do live up to their name.

We had a late lunch/dinner today at the new Hog’s Breath Cafe, we are rapted that you have arrived in Hamilton, the service was great, very friendly helpful staff, the cafe was lovely and clean, hubby was rapted with his steak and I was happy with my mixed platter. Have already highly recommended it to family & friends, the price is right, just needs cheese sauce on the cauliflower, minor detail. Nice to have discount cards offered as well! There is a shortage of family child-friendly cafes and this one hits the nail on the head. Good on you!

I would not recommend the hogs breath cafe at all! I went for dinner on Wednesday and within the first 5 minutes of sitting down had a four waitresses come to ask if we were ready to order. When our meals arrived they were cold and the vegetables were not cooked. We sent both meals back to the kitchen. Then the wrong drinks were served, overall the staff were not helpful. Upon leaving we explained our situation to the manager and she said oh we were busy tonight (the place was not even half full) we got 10 dollars off our bill which was not great as both mains were terrible. I would not go there again.
