Loosies Superette

Loosies Superette in central Wellington exudes a nostalgic charm, with a storefront reminiscent of the 1980s.

Inside, the diner presents a vibrant, high-energy atmosphere that reflects the restless buzz of Cuba Street. It is a place that serves generous meals suited to any hour, appealing equally to lunchtime regulars and late-night wanderers.

The menu stretches wide to satisfy all kinds of appetite.

For those with a hunger that cannot be tamed, southern fried chicken thighs arrive with dirty diner mash, house gravy, tobacco onions and slaw, while the BBQ brisket melt comes as a stacked sando of smoked brisket, American cheese, pickles, BBQ sauce, Tennessee onion jam, sourdough and cowboy butter.

As the end of the meal rolls around, the show-stopping deep-fried New York cheesecake arrives crisp-coated, served with seasonal berries, hazelnut coulis and vanilla ice cream.

Of course, Loosies' menu has much more to offer than food alone, with a drinks list that keeps pace, from refreshing soft drinks to brunch-friendly options.

Loosies stands as a must-visit for street-food lovers and those devoted to preserving Wellington’s rich culinary culture!
