My favourite thing to get is a beef burger meal, always served with juicy chips and aioli sauce to dip them into. They make it fresh each time, but take no more than 15 minutes, even during peak time. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and tend to remember your order if you frequent them as I do! The vibe of the place is slightly rustic and not at all to be compared with Mac Donalds, so don't even try! Their pizzas also surpass some of the franchises, so be sure to pop in and dig in.

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.

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.

I like the St. Johns branch because it is close to my house and you don't have to wait in line for ages compared to the Queen Street branch. My favourite burger would have to be 'The Famous Star' - it's a safe choice, or if I want to go all out, then I'll order the 'Guacamole Bacon Thickburger' - who doesn't love guacamole or bacon in a burger?!?! The burgers are delicious and taste different to McDonald's and Burger King (better). At the St. John's branch, you can also add jalapeños to your burger, which you can't do at other branches. I also love their 'Chilli Cheese Fries' - haven't tasted anything like them before! Melted cheese and chilli mince on top of fries - what's not to like! Also, if you're into thickshakes, try one next time you're at Carl's Jnr - creamy and delicious!

Here they have both doner kebabs and kebabs on rice (my favourite) as well as charcoal burgers (beef, chicken and vegetarian) and a kids menu. If you choose to dine in Charcoal Burger also have the option to have an alcohol beverage with your meal. This I have never done as I have always taken my meal away, however the number of times I have driven past they have always been busy. There is both street parking and parking behind the store available for customers. It is located in a rather awkward position though. They are on the main road right by the lights, so the entrance is quite hidden beside the store and a set or terrace houses. I think this place is a good quick meal option if you're in the area, however I wouldn't come out of my way to dine at this take out joint.
