Overview

A Casual Dining Gem

So, I hit up Skippers Restaurant the other day. Tucked right into the Whakatane Sportfishing Club, it’s got a pretty awesome ocean view. Seriously, the scenery alone makes it worth a visit.

Now, let’s chat about the food. You know, it’s not Michelin star level, but it’s decent! Their fish and chips? Solid choice. The seafood chowder? Wow, just wow! But some dishes? Well, they might leave you scratching your head a bit. A friend said the lamb shank was a total flop—over-salted, no veggies, just gravy.

But hey, the vibe’s good. Perfect for a night out with mates or family. And the bar? Oh boy, they’ve got a nice selection of beers!

Plus, if you’re like me and enjoy keeping it casual, they’ve got outdoor seating and a real chill atmosphere. Just remember, you might need to join the club for the drinks!

All in all, it’s a mixed bag—good food, nice people, and a view that’ll knock your socks off. Can’t go wrong!
