Not too far from the Christchurch airport and just what I wanted after a long day (or more?) of travel: chicken, rice, veggies, and some heat. Tasty and good quality Fresh-Mex at a good price.

I think I might know why they've got a burger named the Bastard here. I might have called it a few…read morenames myself due to its propensity to slide apart. But what would one expect from a bacon cheeseburger that adds pineapple, avocado and beetroot to its content? Aside from the cheese, every topping and condiment on that sandwich is slippery. The combination isn't one I'd experienced before, but I found it all well matched. And I was surprised to find all that content didn't overwhelm the flavor of the beef (though not by much). I might give even greater props, though, to the fries. Remember the perfect crispness of McDonald's fries when they were at their best? Take that fry quality but apply it to a chunkier, thicker cut of potato, and that's what you'll get at BurgerFuel. Delicious. I enjoyed this meal after some lengthy travels, and the restaurant is positioned well for air and road travelers, being just off State Highway 1 and only a short distance from CHC. Getting back to the sloppiness, it was only in the finishing bites of my meal that I realized the staff had provided me with a tool to help keep my burger together -- the nifty little Doofer, a pop-together burger keeper that my ignorance kept me from testing when I needed it most. Guess I'll have to stop in again and see how well it actually works.

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!

My suggestion is to check your bags in and head upstairs to South Bar for a final kiwi beer or pino (kiwi slang for Pino Gris which is a type of wine) before your long flight home. There is plenty of seating with views of the rugby on television screens or planes departing and arriving with the beautiful snow capped mountains in the background. Love the styling which is a mix of a stag head, photos of kiwiana and random pendant lights grouped together in different parts of the bar. You'll know what I mean by random pendant lights when you come and check it out. Great to have local sporting games live on the tv screens too. I can't comment on the food as we didn't try any but there is a full bar food menu. Highly recommend having a drink here before you fly.
