Never having sampled their burgers, what did I have to lose, I asked myself?!! Well - what a surprise - I have just consumed THE best burger. E.V.E.R. I ordered a C N Cheese burger. 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!! Why have I never encountered Burger Fuel before? I do not know. But I plan on making this amazing joint a regular take-out staple!!

I was surprised at how long our order took but FINALLY we retrieved out food from the counter and dug in. The Chick'n was disappointingly dry!!!

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.

Whenever I go to a restaurant that offers a vegetarian option I order it to see if it is at least decent, so when looking for places to go eat around our hotel and this came up. I admit the name was also catchy, so I figured I had to try it. Well my wife ordered the parma and i got the spicy, which I have to tell you, it was spicy... But not spicy for the sake of being spicy, but full of flavor as well. We also ordered the loaded fries (HSP on the menu). Everything was great but I like my wife's parma better than my spicy. The only downside is that there isn't any covered seating. Just 2 tables for outdoor seating. However I enjoyed getting food from there and if I lived nearby I would probably go there often. I would say definitely give it a try.

Situated right next to the petrol station, it has nearby parking, which is convenient.

Occasionally I'll sway from this diet and usually when I'm hungover and the body is craving carbs.

Most of the food stands didn't open up for another 20mins, so we wandered around reading all of the menus and deciding what we wanted. The last stand we came across was Burg'z. Whom I believe was the owner said "we are cooking up a beef and a chicken burger for a photo shoot. Would you like them after, since we're just going to toss them?". I already had my eye on this place and free dinner sounded like something we couldn't say no to, so we accepted. We purchased some awesome fries and beers to accompany our meals. Let me say that this review has nothing to do with the fact that our burgers were free. They were fantastic! Large, flavorful, fresh and filling! We shared as we both like chicken and beef and were beyond satisfied. The owner (I think) and his coworker were very sweet and we had the best experience. I wish we had room for the list of amazing milkshakes on their menu, but unfortunately we did not. We thanked them with a gracious tip and went on our way. I'm not sure who was taking photos but my guess is the NZ Urbanlist or something similar on Instagram. Can't wait to see them as I am sure they represent the taste well!
