Staff were very friendly and attentive. I was hesitant to visit after my first visit when the first Lowbrow opened many years ago.
We ordered curly fries, big buffalo, and the bronco.
The fries were nice and tasty. The burgers sadly weren’t great and those alone are why it’s a 3/5 and we won’t be coming back.
The buns for both were very dry.
The chicken was very tasty, brined & cooked well, but the sauces were too salty even for my partner who enjoys saltier food. Was missing a bit of acidity/sweetness.
The beef burger sadly wasn’t much better with the party being very dry and only a small dollop of sauce in the middle.

Chicken Wings
Awesome new addition to my go to place for foodie in Ellerslie. My son took me out for early dinner to this beautiful and pinkish spot in Ellerslie for a burger and some salad with a twist. I loved also their takeaway machine situated so customers do not need to come inside particularly on a full house. Toilet is well kept and signs are visible for guidance. Will definitely be back and highly recommended 👍

Fush Burger
Hands up 🙌🏽 The BEST fish burger in Auckland!!!
Their fries 🍟 (which is $5 on add on) and their dipping Mayo is heavenly delicious. It’s the best according to my tastebuds as Fish burger often come tasteless but theirs here is wonderful, and beautifully made.
I have heard so much about their chicken burger, and chicken wings, as well as their wedges.
It’s my favourite & the perfect spot to fix a burger craving in Auckland.
Go try it out today!!! 😋

I had a good experience at Lowbrow Ellerslie. The service was top-notch and the food was nice The pricing was in line with other fried chicken burger joints, making it a reasonable choice. We tried the Mac Daddy and Double Daddy burgers, both accompanied by fries and a wing each. The burgers special sauce definitely gives Big Mac vibes. The chicken wings were juicy, and the fries were enjoyable. My only small want was to have a Mac and cheese option as a side. In terms of atmosphere, it was generally pleasant, although the seating in the booth felt a bit awkward, and the stainless steel tables weren't particularly appealing. We arrived around 6 pm, and the place quickly filled up with patrons. Overall, Lowbrow Ellerslie is a great local spot for fried chicken and burgers, and I left with a smile on my face. 😊

Returning to this fried chicken haven for the second time was an absolute delight. The crispy exterior of the chicken remains consistently superb, and the flavors are as mouthwatering as ever. The staff's warmth and efficiency contribute to a memorable dining experience. It's clear that this place maintains high standards. If you're craving top-notch fried chicken, this spot should be at the top of your list.

A Delicious and Enjoyable Experience at LOWBROW Ellerslie
My partner and I recently decided to try LOWBROW in Ellerslie for dinner after coming across numerous positive reviews on Google. We visited on a Saturday around 5pm and were not disappointed. This trendy and modern eatery, which also has a branch at Karangahape Road, prides itself on providing "Good Food" paired with natural wine. The restaurant is suitable for families and has a welcoming and chilled vibe, making it a great choice for a casual dining experience.
Upon arriving, we were greeted with a friendly welcome and informed that we could sit anywhere we liked. The staff member was helpful throughout our visit, although we noticed they seemed a bit understaffed initially. This led to a slight delay in service, but the situation improved when another staff member arrived. The staff member was apologetic for any inconvenience caused.
We ordered a Sando each: the OLD BAE Sando for myself and the Bronco Sando for my partner, accompanied by the Kumara Salad and Loaded Curly Fries. The food was delicious and met our expectations in terms of taste and quality. The OLD BAE Sando featured cornflake chicken thigh, Swiss cheese, old bay mayo, and pickled courgette, while the Bronco Sando was made with a brisket patty, onion rings, pickles, cheddar, and house BBQ sauce. We enjoyed every bite and are looking forward to trying other Sandos in the future.
The ambiance at LOWBROW was light and inviting, with a cool and funky interior design. The restaurant was clean and tidy, and we felt the prices were reasonable for the quality of food served. They have a good selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks; I opted for a zero-alcohol beer since I wasn't drinking.
You can book a table online, and their operating hours are as follows:
Ellerslie:
Sun-Thu: 11:30am-9pm
Fri & Sat: 11:30am-10pm
St Kevins Arcade:

Overall, our dining experience at LOWBROW was enjoyable, and we would definitely go back. I would recommend this restaurant to others looking for a tasty and relaxed meal in a welcoming atmosphere. I'm giving LOWBROW Ellerslie a well-deserved 4-star rating.

have been here several times by myself, so took the family for lunch today. good service and food arrived promptly within 15 minutes.
Fries, onion rings and brisket burger were all very good. Sadly the two two chicken sandos were drenched in mac sauce which made them inedible, until the excess sauce was scrapped off. Raised the issue with the waitress, who was quite indifferent to it Good place overall with reasonable prices, just need to be a bit lighter with the burger sauce.

Had almost every item on the menu. With all the craze re fried chicken, I always come back to Lowbrow to recalibrate what good fried chicken is all about for me. Oh, and the burgers, loaded fries etc etc are all good.
