Luckily this isn't the case here, the buyer bach is nestled into a group of shops in the heart of Takapuna, at least one of those criteria is true though, the burger bach is about 250m from Takapuna beach. The inside is simple enough, the staff were friendly and happy. (yeah happy is actually a measurement in my book) and the atmosphere is super-casual. The Burger Bach serves GOOD food, not hipster food with a perfectly sculpted lettuce leaf and four tiny patties arranged just so, no .. this is classic food, this is perfectly cooked meat, fresh lettuce, additions of your choice and some amazing caramelised onions that I cannot fault. If you're coming back from the beach, if you want a snack with some great taste, then the burger bach is your place.

Just on The Strand- on your way down to the beach, there is a cute wee space where the Bach lives with it's bookshelf feature wall with a mixed array of old school Kiwi items such as the Weetbix tin, weathered board-games and other knick knacks. A cool upside dingy above the large communal table with hanging lights. A nice couch with crochet cover and chair to sit if you're after takeaways instead of dine-ins on the cushioned wooden benches or metal red-black-white chairs at smaller tables. Side-note; they have the coolest bathrooms where the walls are completely covered in board-games. If you're after chicken- the Captain Chook is a winner with it's bacon+ chick breast combination, and you can choose cranberry or apricot sauce. Super generous with that and the aioli- so be warned it might be a bit of a mess to eat- but oh so delicious with it's avocado, tomato, red onion, big leafy lettuce and cheese stack. Very filling- so come hungry. High praise for their milkshakes- got their vanilla. Surprised by the tall cup it came in and it's weight- they must put ice cream in it or something, but so creamy and yum. Can't wait to try their other flavours (chocolate, strawberry+ banana). For a childhood throwback- order the Churrios, which is a small bowl of cheerio sausages with ketchup. Definitely come in

UPDATE TO MY RECENT UPDATE. No Really!…read more Soooo because we really, really liked the vibe here we came back. Thank goodness Imi was here and she rocked it! Just a charmer and just outstanding. Not only did she hook up our spillage friends but she made great suggestions for dinner and drink. OBTW there was live acoustic guitar (on Sunday from 3:00 pm until 7:30!) There was a couple in the patio and they brought their sweet dog. She (the dog) recognized our crowd as doggie people and she (again the dog) came over and butt snuggled with our clan while her (again the dog) mommy and dad finished their dinner. So cute and so one of the things we LOVE about Takapuna Beach! Had the fish and chips and a nice merlot ...... Yes I know. Stop it! Anyway it was great. My spillage Friend had the veggie gnocchi and it was great. She also got dessert - its the Mousse. Omg! I won't describe it the way she did but it was complimentary. ;) Looked awesome and she loved it. Other folks had the steak and chips M-O-N-E-Y! Solid evening, great food, and Imi was AWESOME.

And a side order of spud fries with aioli. My burger was juicy, tasty, medium rare and more tender than a baby's bottom!!! The Parmesan, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle was the perfect complement, enrobed in a fresh and gorgeous bun. Juicy and satisfying to the max. This was well, it was - orgasmic! The whole of Milford had a cigarette!!!! The spud fries were perfection and the accompanying aioli didn't hold back ... Suddenly I was in Gilroy, California again, the home of garlic. Bliss!!

Black dog was tucked away beside the Empire Tavern. Look for the wooden sign with the paw print. Our trio had the Beef Smash Burger, the Brisket burger and the Chicken Sandwich. You can add fries and a beer for $11NZD. There was only one beer available (a hazy IPA which was *mwah* so good!) the fries were more of a Dutch cut than shoestring, but they were also very very good! The pickle chips were sweet pickles; also tasty. It's a small place, with three tables and a long counter. There is an interior connection to the tavern next door. Service was great. There seemed to be two people working this lunch. Front of house takes orders, pours beers and grills the burgers, and operates the fryer. Back of house does the dishes and restocks. Efficient and delicious. If time allows or if we ever come back, I'll be back.

Had been planning to get to this place for ages with my girlfriend, and we finally got our act together and made our way down for a naughty unhealthy dinner and find a nice spot to enjoy it. I have to say I don't think I've had a better fish 'n' chips experience outside an actual restaurant than we did here. The fish was fresh, and the batter not stodgy and heavy, nice and light, and the healthy dose of chips made for a pant-stretchingly good meal. Definitely glad we decided to try it, and will be back again for sure.

The Takapuna Fish Shop is my go-to fishmonger - there's not many on the shore but I've always found…read morethe fish fresh and the price right. However, after my takeaways tonight, i'm not as sold on their fish and chips. Sure they're cheap and it's conveniently located 5mins walk from a beach but I found their fish to be dry (overcooked?) and the batter stodgy. On the plus side the chips where well salted and crunchy, and the owner is always so lovely - very chippa, with a smile on his dial. Whilst T.F.S will continue to be my fishmonger of choice, with sooo many fish and chips shops to try, I think i'll go elsewhere to indulge in this kiwi classic in the future.

Cause you know... it's fries Chocolate shake - now they're called shake out... to be honest I didn't have a high expectation just curious on this shake... and honestly... it's just okay. If you've tasted cool whip.. it kinda just tastes like you're eating chocolate cream. If you pick up the cup it's super light which makes you think... is this really ice cream? What is this really made of ? Service - you get a hi and you press your order yourself which was nice. Also the food was super fast but maybe that's just cause there wasn't many people around. Overall, it's okay.... it isn't the best... it isn't in and out and it isn't shake shack (maybe this is a copy of shake shack) but honestly for the price I dont think I would come back it's something I'd try and be like oh yeah it's okay then never come back cause it's expensive as heck.

You can order it with chicken ($5) or tuna ($9), but we got a plate of falafel instead and my friend ordered the beef burger (the bacon jam will not disappoint!!). Such a groovy place, with a beautiful beachfront view. Only weird thing was that our milkshake came out in a paper Mc Donald's styled cup? Strange - very strange haha Only other downside was that the staff were a little inattentive (one table left while we were there because of the delay in getting water/menus to their table). So get a table close to the waiters to ensure prompt service . We were sitting out the front on the deck/in the sun, and found they didn't really come around to check in how the meals were or offer us another round of drinks. This side of hospo, I think is so important to make the experience complete especially in this day and age where people are spoilt for choice. 5/5 for the food - 3/5 for the service.
