Mother-in-law and wife really. We timed our arrival perfectly to get the last table free. The place was noisy, understandably and the service slower then usual, again understandably, but the experience was excellent as usual. The menu selection is vast and varied. Something for everyone I would say. We chose the conventional breakfasts like bacon and eggs, pancakes etc, and... More

LOVE this place! We went there for the two nights we were staying in Taupo because the menu was so good and we just had to try it again. The Pizza's are huge and delicious. We are big eaters and couldn't get through our mains both nights. Service was attentive and friendly.

My Hubby and I are really fussy about where we eat. We just happened to come upon Dixie Browns overlooking the lake during our stay in Taupo. Were lucky enough to have breakfast (beautifully cooked) and dinner , and both times we werent dissapointed! Lovely friendly people, with great tasting food to match. Try the Pork Hock for Dinner!!!!!!delicious!!! And... More

It was quite a chilly morning and we were looking for some 'warming' food. We discovered Dixie Brown's down by the lake's front. While the service was very efficient and courteous, the quality of the breakfast made my wife and I go ‘wow’. Heaps of food and looked great, and it tasted even better than it looked. Will certainly return.

Wandered into this restaurant, partly due to it's Tripadvisor reviews, but also the fact that it was one of the only places busy on the night we were in Taupo. Menu looked fine. But the food was uniformly disappointing. A good steak and burger both ruined by the same packet brown sauce. Disappointing.

We have just returned from dinner here. After waiting for over 45 minutes for our food to arrive, watching everybody else being served before us and the staff completely ignore us a rude waitress slammed it on the table without even an apology for our long wait. My partner ordered the ribs and was extremely disappointed. They were dry with... More

We had lovely coffee and dessert one night and a delicious breakfast the next day. Then we tried to go for dinner but they were booked out. It is a very popular location.
