Either way, a trendy and fun place, pretty reasonably priced, only downside is they got my mom's order wrong, but that can be easily remedied. I got the Ben from accounting and it had pineapple and the bacon was delicious and I love love LOVE the bun. Also really fun that they put your fries/onion rings on cutting boards. Also, in love with the Aoli/bbq sauce combo they give you. 10/10 would recommend!! Come to America if you haven't already bacon brothers!!

The staff have really fun and hopefully comfortable uniforms and are eager to help.

Review for the bar: This place has the feel of a Speakeasy bar without the hidden entrance (love…read moreit!). The bar is well stocked with an abundance of options. Now for the food. The burger w onion jam has easily cracked my top 10 burgers of all time. I'm a burger connoisseur, have had them all over the world, so believe me, I know what I'm talking about. So much flavor! The same can be said about the fried chicken (they boast the best in Christchurch). Being originally from the south eastern United States, I can't speak to the fried chicken at OGB without trying it plain, but it's easily the best I've ever had with toppings. The maple bourbon glaze, the (chipotle?) drizzle and the deli sliced crinkle pickles compliment the dish. Whoever crafted the makeup of the burger and fried chicken really knows what they're doing. Staff is friendly and attentive. I can't speak to the dining room or any of the other items on the menu, but if burgers and fried chicken are something you appreciate, get ready to be grateful when you try them here. Kudos, OGB!

I am a foreigner visiting here could hardly understand what he said especially he spoke so fast. He spoke to me with food in his mouth, and the more terrible thing is that he almost "forced" me to order chips even drink, apologised to me after I asked if the price for the big bro concludes the chips(absolutely not) but the way he speaks is "do you like skinnies or fatties".. well this meal is the first meal I have in Christchurch after I landed. Perhaps I got this experience just because I am Chinese.

I should note though this is not near the center of town, about a 15-20min walk. Thank goodness for GPS! We were not disappointed. The burgers were fantastic. They ordered the boogie (their #1 favorite since leaving California), and I ordered the bacon mushroom cheeseburger. The beef was extremely juicy and tasted amazing, and I write this as a Texan. To be fair, this was my first experience eating beef in New Zealand, so maybe all beef tastes this good. It's hard to explain, but when you eat the burger, you can tell it's locally sourced and isn't processed. You are really one with your beef here! You go up to the counter to order. You're then given an object to take back to your seat as a marker where you are, and food is brought to you. The setup is basically a food trailer with an outdoor patio. I really liked the casual atmosphere, reminiscent of places I visit at home. You definitely should check this place out! Cider $9 Bacon burger and chips $18 Coleslaw $3 Total $33

First, let me say, Fabiano and Ali (hope I remembered and spelled their names correctly) were very friendly and answered all my questions. I'm pretty experienced when it comes to shawarma, but I've never had one quite like this. There were some odd (for this type of dish) toppings that came with it and I'm glad I didn't exclude any of them. I always try to have faith in a restaurant when they put their own spin on an item, and boy oh boy, am I glad I didn't doubt the build of this wrap. It was a very unique blend of flavors. I also ordered 3 pieces of falafel that were tasty with just the right amount of crunch. I'm now a fan. I will definitely be back. Thanks, fellas!
