    AH-MAZING!

    It's a shame more people do not know about this little hidden gem. IT'S FANTASTIC!! Hidden on Melton Road in Mt Wellington, just off Aranui/Portman Road. Its located next to a dairy in a very suburban area. The burgers here are AMAZING! And sooooo cheap! I couldn't get over it! For what you get you'd think it would have to be so much more expensive. Not only that but the food is freshly made, so filling and so much better than the likes of McDonalds! My boyfriend and I found this place as his friend posted a photo on Facebook with a link to Big J's page. It was a good move liking them! Each week they upload their incredible weekly specials. Last night we both got the weekly special which was Texan Steak! INCREDIABLE!! Absolutely delicious! We also got gravy and chips (which might I add, you get soooo many chips and its only $4!!), and some chocolate mousse to top it off for dessert! What I love about this place is that they take so much pride in making their meals the best they can! All the staff looked so happy to be working there, which is so rare for a takeout joint! It really made the Big J's experience memorable! Follow Big J's on Facebook and keep up to date with their weekly specials! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Big-Js-Takeaways/194704843939818?fref=ts

    Chicken & Bacon Burger

    I finally tried the legend that is Big J's. Don't be put off by the stores less than glamorous appearance. It looks like any old fish and chip shop grouped with a dairy and liquor store, but the food is so much better. I found the chicken and bacon burger to be delicious, although the meat patty in the beef burger was a bit weird, it seemed almost like the meat was quite old. Haven't had anything like it before, it wasn't juicy, it was quite dense. Be prepared for a long wait if you turn up unannounced. If you have a large order, make sure to call them as soon as they open if it's for lunch, we called at 11:30am asking for pickup at 12:30pm and they were fully booked till 2:45pm!

    I was actually recommended Big J's before it made it on The Metro's Cheap Eat list. Friends of mine live near by and were raving about Big J's. I have been wanting to come since xmas of last year after seeing plenty of photos of their burgers posted on FB. Big J's is takeaways with a difference. Its owned and operated by a chef with 25years in the industry. Most of the time you are judging a burger on two things - the patty and burger bun. These handmade patties are super soft. This has to be one of the best patties I have had from a takeaway store. The burger buns were nice but maybe could have used a bit more toasting, just to hold the burger together a bit better. I chose the beef and mushroom burger, great size for someone like me also I didn't want to order a huge burger like the bf because I wanted to keep room for the chips and gravy. Yes they do chips and gravy! Not sure who else is as big of a fan as me when it comes to chips and gravy - but its one of my fav combos. The hawaiian burger had great flavour but just lacked more pineapple and disappointed with the bacon as the texture was a bit tough - this could just be improved by putting a crispy piece in instead. Orders come out relatively quick - we came a sunday night so not sure on the hype on a fri and sat night but for a sunday it was pretty busy - but it was probably feeding a great deal of the hangover demographic. I personally liked my burger better but being a chef you always analyse any menu and try pick what item you think will be best to avoid food envy. Great Takeaways and would recommend it any day.

    The meat portion has been reduced down to the bare minimum. Ham was yummy but serving size…read moredisappointing for $15 for the small size. I wish they would be honest in increasing their prices and retain a sensible meat ratio rather than this policy of effectively bulking up their roast meals with potatoes. Customer service was characterised by minimum interaction but, to be fair, you don't go to a roast diner for an in depth convo.

    Sometimes, I just fancy a roast. Most of the time, I can't be bothered to make one. Hence why I've…read morefrequented quite a few of the takeaway roast places Auckland has to offer. When in Mount Wellington, only one place will do: Kings Roast. Don't expect a particularly classy establishment; this place is one of those that feels immediately a bit cheap upon arrival. Think specials written in pen on the menu and not the slightest hint of ambience about the place. However, don't let any of the above put you off. Kings Roast does great roasts. I went in recently and had a roll stuffed with lamb (they definitely don't scrimp on the amount of meat they give you!) and a gorgeous mint sauce. I saw the guy caving the lamb and it was obviously really well cooked and still lovely and pink in the middle. The potatoes that came with it were also fantastic, really crispy and fresh tasty--no mean feat when they're clearly not freshly prepared. In fact, the only thing that let the meal down was the lone kumara I had. This was cold, soggy and just downright disappointing. However, take this out of the equation and you've got yourself a damn good roast.
