I really can’t say enough about Four Kings, this restaurant is great!

Four Kings is the new sports bar, it’s located on the corner of Dixon and Taranaki Streets in the Hope Gibbons building. It has an outdoor eating area accessed from inside the restaurant, a large bar with a whole heap of LCD screens and an area for diners only to the right of the bar, they also have a more private (but not completely closed off) room available to the left of the bar.

Downstairs is the Four Kings lounge which has booths, lazy-boys and TAB facilities. According to their website there is more than 70 LCD screens.

I’ve been to this restaurant twice now, both times on a Friday night with a small group. I’ve had the fish of the day both times and this is served on delicious mashed potatoes with wilted spinach. It’s real comfort food, without being gross and greasy. They have a steak menu in addition to the main menu (and the food looks really good, even for me as a vegetarian).
Sol has had the ribs both times. The ribs are huge and come on a bed of thick cut potato chips. They have been different both times though, the first time the chips were seasoned with something really yummy and the second time there were less chips and they were unseasoned but there were more ribs! The ribs are cooked so nicely that the meat falls off the bone. You’re also given a finger bowl and lots of serviettes to clean yourself up after getting rib sauce all over your hands.
These meals are quite large so you probably wont need an entree or desert. Next time we are planning to skip the main meals and go for the entree and desert only.
Meals average at about $24.

The waiting staff are also excellent. We made a bit of a mess both times with the water on our table and there were no funny looks or grumps at us and the initiative was taken by our waitress to clean the table up without us asking (like it should be but often isn’t). The waitress even recognised us the second time we went even though the visits were a few weeks apart.

You really need to go and take a look for yourself. The service is so bad at so many restaurants that it’s a real treat to find somewhere like this that has so much to offer and isn’t over priced. They accept the Entertainment Book card as well.
