It's a takeout joint - fish and chips, burgers, potato fritters, spring rolls, you get what I'm saying. Prices are very reasonable, service is nothing to write home about. Tip: You can't really eat in, so take your fried goods to the park behind off Essex Street. There's a pretty cool playground and some nice grassy areas.

I ordered their fish burger and the skinny fries (they offer both thick and skinny), I think I waited around 10-15 mins, but they have seating and lots of magazines for you to read so I didn't notice the wait. When it was ready I couldn't believe the size of it! It was a ginormous burger I thought I won't possibly be able to eat it all but I'm ashamed to say...I did. Bonzo's is good value, you get a lot of food for your money, they also do excellent combo options I think one is $11 for a burger, chips and a drink. I really can't find anything to fault this place on, good service, good food fast...thumbs up Bonzo!

The menu is not extensive but provides a good range of classic burger and those with a twist. All sorts of chips, curly fries and condiments. I went for the classic beef and cheese as I cannot imagine a burger without cheese. My boyfriend got the special which was free-range chicken, crumbed courgette and homemade hummus. I definitely lucked out - the foccacia bun was a nice touch but my pattie was paper thin, grey and dry as bone. Nothing to report on the salad or sauces all pretty predictable. Ollie's burger was really really good, the chicken tenderloins were juicy and the crumbed courgette crispy and delicious - the feta worked perfectly too. Not sure i'll come here that often, burgers these days have a lot to go by and The Flaming Onion needs to step up to the mark.

This place is pretty good. But it is definitely not the best. Sure, the chips are pretty great, and I've never eaten fish from here, but the donuts are a bloody disaster. Possibly the worst donuts in the country. The price of chips is high, but I guess that's symptomatic of the economy. They have a great sign. I'm not that into the weird L&P branding they've exercised though. I guess if you're in Ponsonby and you want fish and chips, you should go here. But don't expect the portion size or anything else to blow you away. To be honest, if you're expecting some fish and chips to 'blow you away' you're probably a bit of a chowderhead.

Good service overall.

The burgers aren't huge but the sides are so good that this works in your favour. The potato skins are a must as is the charred broccoli, which promises to convert any leafy green skeptic. Drinks-wise I've always gone for their house-made sodas but on my last visit I did sneak a sip of my brothers Lewis Road Milkshakes - seriously good! A final word of warning - Burger Burger is super popular so be prepared to wait or have a drink else where first!

Lol The goal is to finish the Goneburger within 3 mins to score yourself a free Goneburger on your next visit. The current record holder polished off the burger in 1 minute and 10 seconds. That's seriously amazing considering the burger is pretty massive. If it wasn't for the fun I had watching my skinny mate trying not to throw up during the challenge, then I would have only given velvet a 4 stars. There is nothing wrong with the burger itself, it just feels like its lacking that something special. Then again, I suppose they make it special by setting up a eating challenge so that you can laugh at the demise of your mates or them laughing at you if you are partaking in the challenge.

We've eaten here 3 times and each visit resulted in something they missed. My issue is the service...I ordered my burger with fries - burger came no fries no sauce .

Second time around they forget my fries ---again! Okay they were busy with the lunch crowd but really?

They have a few magazines to keep you occupied and chairs for you to occupy, or probably you should just pop over to the handy liquor store while you're waiting. There's also a dairy so really it's a really convenient corner to stop on just before a party. Although that probably depends on where the party is. Anyway, they make good chips, they usually always give you at least one more potato fritter than you ask for and the fish (in my past experience, seeing as I'm now vegetarian) is suitably battered and tasty. All the right amount of greasy.

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.

Coming to New Zealand, I didn't anticipate on having a burger at all, but I was so hungry and didn't know my way around Newmarket, I think coming here was actually fate. I cannot tell you how fantastic the Lamb Burger was--the meat was so tender, the burger literally melted in my mouth. I'm not much of a beetroot eater (and I'm told this is a common topping in Australian and New Zealand burgers), but it was different in a good way. The bun was also really good, so no complains about the burger at all. We also got the Potato Skins with Truffle Aioli--amaaazing! They were hot and fresh when it came to our table and the chunky portions were more than generous. It's such a shame I'm almost 9,000 miles away because I'm craving a meal from this place at this very moment. The staff were a fun bunch, especially our waiter, Liam, who was full of laughs. Great place away to eat from the shopping madness on Broadway--Osborne Lane is a super cute and nice place to hang out.
