Wow. In the heart of Mission Bay I would never have expected such bad customer service…read more No, this wasn't just a lack of common etiquette but more an absolute departure from any semblance of customer service. I spoke with a young male who took my order. No problems there. I did ask for tomato sauce as my son can't eat aioli as he has severe egg allergies which I explained. The burger took a while to arrive and I was given aioli for my fries. I took this back inside and swapped it for tomato sauce. For me, I've eaten predominantly at the Pukekohe Burger Fuel. But I also eat at the Ponsonby Burger Fuel. And I've never been disappointed any time I've dined in or taken out. But this vege burger that had arrived was cold. The cheese on the vege pattie hadn't even melted. Yes it was tasty, but so is grass with the right sauce. On the other hand, the fries were great. Hot crispy, perfectly seasoned with salt and not too much. I ate the burger without complaint because I was talking with my family who were having a large meal at the neighbouring eatery, Hook Line and Sinker. When the seafood platters arrived for my family I suffered pangs of food envy. But politely declined their offers for me to partake of their bounteous fare. Having quaffed my burger and fries I wanted something sweet. So I went into Burger Fuel. I walked in and had to wait as another cashier was stamping the Burger Fuel paper bags. She looked at me and continued stamping in no hurry as if I wasn't there. When she felt that she had stamped enough, she passed them over the counter and wandered over to the cash register. After ordering a berry ice cream dessert, I waited outside for 20 mins. When the cashier brought it outside she put the container in the table and dropped two spoons beside it. Having waited this long, I could see that the ice cream had melted and the dessert looked like crap. Again, I thought I'll give it a go. Terrible. Couldn't even finish it. I wouldn't have done this review had it not have been for the combination of bad food and even worse service. If you're after Burger Fuel in Mission Bay, drive to Ponsonby Burger Fuel. It's better. If you're after Ice Cream in Mission Bay. Go to Mõvenpick which is a few doors up from Burger Fuel. Trust me, I'm usually the Baron at Mõvenpick Mission Bay. Your money and your time is certainly wasted at Burger Fuel Mission Bay.

When it comes to hamburgers, it seems only America can do it RIGHT!! Unfortunately, Burger Fuel is…read morenot the best option for hamburgers whatsoever. Being an American and a proud fan of burgers, I am VERY discriminating about how my burgers are served, with what condiments, and the availability of traditional side orders like fries (or "chips" as they're known in the Oceana region of the globe) or onion rings. Burger Fuel instead attempts to serve burgers differently, and this particular branch in Mission Bay has quite an unfriendly and aloof staff. They don't even know what yellow mustard is, a condiment required for me in my burgers, yet they easily get irritated with you if you're attempting to change your burger to what you wish. Once more, even having a very basic burger option is not on their menu; you just have to improvise with ordering, say, their 1/3 Pounder Burger and asking for certain ingredients no be included. Beetroot in a burger - REALLY?!? YUCK!! But the best option I can do is NEVER go to another Burger Fuel again! To me, this chain is an insult to hamburgers, and only makes me yearn that In N Out were located on New Zealand soil!

The general staff set up is normally the same (students needing to pay off large debt), and the restaurants all look the same. Plus service is generally good... The Burger Fuel in Windsor Park is close to home, so when I do get take-aways, this is often my first choice. What I like about this particular Burger Fuel, is that the staff are in a constant buzz, and it really does appear like bees in a hive. They zoom in to the grill and away to the customer, then to the chip station and away to hand over someone's order. It is almost mesmerizing. You feel okay to wait, when you see how these guys operate, it is a smooth running operation, and the food is always perfect.

My friends and I were in town visiting and had seen The White Lady on YouTube and social media with…read morepeople regarding it as an institution. The White Lady is a food truck serving a variety of burgers and sandwiches, as well as chips. There is no seating, so they offer take away only. I was a little uncomfortable, as there was a group of homeless people sitting and laying down right next to the food truck. Because of this, I just wanted to grab my food and go. The food took about 15 mins to finish and we were out of there. They did have tomato sauce, as well as garlic aoli sauce, free to take as much as you want. I ordered the White Lady, which is one of their signature burgers. It had a beef patties, Scotch steak, Colby cheese, bacon, fried egg, grilled pineapple, fried onions, lettuce, and tomato. It sounded like a ton of ingredients, but I figured I had to try their namesake burger. I had taken my food back to my hotel, which was only about a 10-15 minute walk back. Understandably, the burger was a bit soggy. That wasn't the worst part though. My main gripe with this burger though, was the Scotch steak. It was probably my fault for not entirely knowing what a Scotch steak was. The steak was chewy and I was NOT able to bite it off each time I took a bite of the burger. After a couple bites struggling to separate the steak from the rest of the burger, I ended up just taking the steak out and eating it with a fork and knife. I cannot understand why you would put something on a burger if it cannot be bitten off solely with your teeth. It goes against the point of having something handheld. On top of that, the steak was very bland. The burger patties itself was okay, nothing amazing. I come from the United States, the home of fatty foods and the best burgers, so maybe I just have high standards. For me, this place was a one and done just to see what the hype was about.

Great burger bar…read more Either dine in for an all American-style dining experience (with a modern twist and no booths), or wait for 10-15 minutes for your order. You are given a number on the top of your receipt, I think names work for me, more so. They have great children's meals either real chicken pieces, or natural cheese burger with potato wedges and a Charlie's juice. Nice one. I tend to go for the classic chicken burger with avocado. Maybe Kumara fries with aioli too. Mid-range price from $6-$13 for a burger. Scrumptious.

Not sure how this place does during the day time, but the nightlife crowd sure packed this place!…read more It was about 1:30am Halloween night, and when we arrived, there were only a couple of people in line. Shortly after placing my order, I turned to grab a seat and the line was OUT OF THE DOOR with zombies, corpses (dead zombies), vamps, and other various characters. The dead get hungry too, I suppose. As this was my first visit, I decided to order the largest burger on the menu (the Bastard) as a Low Carborator, which is nice because bread tends to get in my way when I eat. The Bastard is a grass-fed beef patty with cheese, avocado, mango, and beetroot, and the Low Carborator version nixes the bun for a lettuce wrap. Whilst this makes for a tad bit of messy eating, they include special boxes so that your burger patty doesn't go anywhere when you bite into it. So juicy. Soooo tender. Almost made me wish I ate bread (struggling Paleo). I also ordered a side of kumara fries, because burgers and fries just go hand in hand. I believe these were the purple kumara fries, as opposed to the typical orange kumara you see in most restaurants. The difference, I noticed, is that the purple kumara (which turns yellow once you cook it) tends to be more substantial in taste, almost heavy tasting. All in all, tasty burger joint, but I will have to come back and try their vegetarian onslaught, which include tasty looking bits made of pumpkin, chickpeas, ginger, and other goodies.

Common as common can be. Nothing wrong with my chicken burger, but it also was nothing special…read more This BurgerFuel location is on a busy Customs Street, and can be crowded during lunch. We gave it a try, as it seemed pretty popular here. All the tables were pretty much occupied. The tables were small and wooden with little stools to sit on. I ordered the Burnout ($12.70): This consisted of a char-grilled chicken breast with bacon, lettuce, avocado, mustard, aioli sauce, and a stilton sauce. The breast was kinda thin, but the bun was pretty huge. It was a soft sesame seed bun that actually held up quite well. It did get kind of messy halfway through eating it, but we were told by one of the workers about how this little cardboarthing called the Doofer. This doofer was an intuitive piece of cardboard that you fold up, and it cradles your burger. Pretty cool, as it totally helped out. No issues with service. The girl behind the counter was humorous and cordial. She was even the one that explained how a doofer is used. Would I come back? Yes, probably just to try a different burger. But the next time I've got that "burger craving", I probably won't be thinking about this place in particular.

It wasn't until last year that I actually found out the answer to my question. YES. The food from this weird van in the middle of the Video Ezy carpark is delicious. Like most kebab stops, Delicious Turkish Style Foods offers lamb, beef, chicken and falafel kebabs, as well as rice dishes, salads, burgers and an array of sides including chips and Turkish garlic bread. Unlike most kebab stores however, this van also has pieces of fish, onion rings, and milkshakes available. All the food prepared in the Delicious Turkish Style Foods van is Halal and all the salads always look fresh, crisp and delicious. If you're in the mood for something Turkish, stop by the little icon of a van in Mt Albert and try some food from Delicious Turkish Style Foods, you won't be disappointed!

I have this preconception, and I'm guessing I'm not the only one, that any food sold out of a…read morecaravan is inevitably greasy, stodgy, and riddled with diarrhoea-inducing germs. I don't know why I have this idea - probably from British television, where everything sold out of a cart is grey and comes with peas. It's not fair though, because in real life my experiences have all been positive. White Lady is fine if a little overpriced, and this place is actually pretty good. If you ignore the fact that it's a caravan this could be any Turkish takeaway, and it'd be quite a bit better than a few I've tried. And once you accept that the food isn't full of botulism the fact that it is a caravan gives the place a certain roguish charm. I haven't tried their burgers (call me a traditionalist) but you can't go past a kebab and chips on your way home from the video shop.
