Tony's Takeaways is your classic Chinese takeaway store. I went there for the first time last week…read moreand, as always, decided to test them by purchasing a spring roll. Spring rolls are the ultimate way to determine if a takeaway store is worth returning to, so naturally I had to get one at Tony's. And I admit, I was a little disappointed. Much to my surprise, the spring roll tasted like cinnamon. I couldn't really figure it out. It wasn't terrible as such, just unexpected.... That being said, the fried rice was brilliant. It wasn't oily and didn't make you feel guilty for eating most of the container - which I did. The portions were good and prices were what you'd expect - about $10 for fried rice. Tony's chips were also pretty good - crisp and crunchy; just the way I like them, and with a good amount of salt too. There's nothing worse than not enough salt on your hot chips, so while their spring rolls were a bit strange, you can rely on Tony's to supply good fried rice, sausages and chips. Bonus: Tony himself is pretty cool. He was very smiley and chatty and made the wait for the food fly by

Situated right next to the petrol station, it has nearby parking, which is convenient. Inside is definitely cleaner then other Carl's Jnr restaurants, although I do wish they would redesign - the front counter is weirdly hidden from entrance door and so is difficult to see first off. More expensive than other fast food burger joints in the area, but better value for money.

Occasionally I'll sway from this diet and usually when I'm hungover and the body is craving carbs. I have to say that I'm not the biggest fast food fan (and no I don't consider Burger Fuel fast food!!). However each time I've been to Carl's Jr. I'm impressed with their table service, speed and quality of food. I always order a pretty bog standard burger with some onion rings on the side. I love the quality of their ingredients and okay it's a little more expensive than some fast food outlets but this place has a great ambiance and table service to match. Does it get any better when you're feeling a little groggy? I think not. See you soon Carl!

First visit here…read more.. Staff genuinely look downtrodden... And I reckon I know why. Chubby Indian dude in the 'I'm the boss' style shirt kicks of proceedings with getting our order wrong, with a look on his face like he soiled himself. This guy has all the service skills of a Thalidomide tennis player. Watched him (what looked like) telling his staff off for no apparent reason... Probably because of his own mistakes. Or maybe that's just how he generally speaks to them. Staff seem to be doing a good job, and the place is clean. Probably because there's bugger all people here due to not wanting to get served by Mr Grumblehead. Asked for a Chicken tequila burger but with a spicy fillet. Him: "We only do one or the other" Me: "Can't you just put a spicy fillet in it mate?" Him: "Uh, yea" Me: "Well that's what I asked for man, pretty simple!" Keep the Staff. Ditch the wanna be Boss and this place would be worth a couple more stars.

I visited Wendys at Whangaparaoa on Monday 13.8.18. Once again I got the foreign sounding woman…read more(who keeps well out of sight) and asked for my usual order:- A five dollar 50 value meal beef please with Sprite for the drink and a seniors black coffee. I recognized the female voice as the one who gives me a chicken burger instead of beef, but wrapped in a beef printed wrapping. She did this again on Monday, but this time wrapped it in a reused scrunched up beef wrapping paper out of the rubbish bin. She always puts the burger on its side in the bag. On an earlier occasion a dark chap with poor English had a problem with giving me the free coffee for pensioners. He didn't use the coffee machine which I can see through the drive through window, but poured me cup of cold slops served in a dirty cup from the rubbish bin with dried stains down it. I have heard the dark skinned so called manager complaining that they don't make any profit out of me, so he clearly resents giving me the free coffee that is Wendy's policy. Complaints are never responded to, so obviously the manager or owner doesn't care or has no management skills. Betty Robb

Unfortunately a very awful experience. So incredibly Frustrating. Placed a phone order for 2 sides…read more(Chips and Onion rings ONLY - No meat....) at 6PM. Battled for about 5 minutes with the person on the phone to understand our order. Got there and waited an hour. AN HOUR for side dishes? My daughter voiced her frustration about this to the lady and got an extremely rude response in return. We know the waiting time is nobodies but the chefs business, but to get a disgustingly rude response after already having to wait an hour is just not acceptable. Saddened by the service as we enjoy their food, but unsure whether we will support them again due to this. Something clearly went wrong there tonight and a simple kind response would have sufficed. Purely unacceptable for a place that isn't cheap to start with!

When I popped in around the lunch hour there were a few hungry patrons who were waiting on their orders. There are a few tables where you can eat your meal, otherwise it is mainly a takeaway shop. Let's take a closer look at the menu. If you love crispy roast potatoes then pick some up from here because they seem to be legendary. The crispy chicken drumsticks looked delicious. The guy next to me ordered a chicken burger. As for a classic Kiwi roast, if you don't have time to put in the effort then this is second to best. They will do

I was starving and had had a long day so when I sped down to Browns Bay to grab some dinner I was…read morein no mood for a tedious wait. I pulled up to this fish and chip shop incredibly eager for my burger and saw that it was absolutely packed. There must have been about 15 people squeezed inside waiting for their order. I considered calling it quits and heading somewhere else but decided to wait it out. Surprisingly, the wait was only about 15 minutes, which I thought was very well done on the shop's behalf! My order of a piece of fish, chips, a Hawaiian burger and four won tons came to only $15! And it all tasted reasonably good apart from the won tons, which were more on the average side of things. Apart from that it was A-OK.

It's a half block back from the beach front, so you can get your fish and chips and burger and spud fritters and squid rings and enjoy take them down to the beach which is a nice minutes walk away. It seems I'm not the only person that likes to indulge this pleasure, so it's invariably full with a big long line- it's what you get with perfect locations - but hey, perfect excuse for an evening walk while you wait!

However, if it's damn tasty Chinese food in massive portions for sweet bugger all money, then you've definitely come to the right place!! Judging by how full this place gets these days, word of mouth has spread - plenty of people are down for cheap and cheerful! Gather your friends or family, bring a bottle down (BYO only, no drinks menu - no corkage!!!), and get a few of the big dishes to share. Everything's great (and nothings more than $10-$15), but I recommend the salt and pepper squid, the beans, the satay beef (comes out sizzling!) and the sweet and sour pork. Awesome awesome place, just make sure you book ahead on a Fri/Sat night and don't expect great service or ambiance.

Given they are called "The Chicken", you would expect their chicken to be amazingggg however we…read morewere not impressed at all. We got an "all day meal D set" which was $15-16. They must be very new because the lady serving us had no idea how to use the eftpos machine and when she did manage she nearly charged us $1500 hahaha good thing we always check before proceeding with transactions. Gosh. The chicken had no taste or flavouring and perhaps even no salt, only tasted oil...? The fries were extremely white but apparently that's because the oil is very very new? But fries were definitely too salty and more soggy and soft than crunchy... Their "biscuit" was a coffee flavoured scone and it was horrible. It was dry and rock hard, something about the flavour was really weird and not to my liking. The corn mayo salad was sad it had very minimal amounts of corn and tasted very average. Just vegetables slathered in mayo and sprinkled with a few corn pieces. Overall I would definitely not return here or recommend to others. The price is ridiculously expensive for what we got (3 drum sticks, 3 small wings, small fries, small biscuit, small corn salad and small soft drink). Their produce were definitely very fresh and you can tell straight away. Maybe it's because they are new and still getting the hang of things but still... Shouldn't be this disappointing. Also we were the only customers when we went and the owner just kept staring at us while we ate... So awkward!!! And gosh they need to oil that door lol... that screeching sound is horrendous hahaha..
