Either way, a trendy and fun place, pretty reasonably priced, only downside is they got my mom's order wrong, but that can be easily remedied. I got the Ben from accounting and it had pineapple and the bacon was delicious and I love love LOVE the bun. Also really fun that they put your fries/onion rings on cutting boards. Also, in love with the Aoli/bbq sauce combo they give you. 10/10 would recommend!! Come to America if you haven't already bacon brothers!!

I should note though this is not near the center of town, about a 15-20min walk. Thank goodness for GPS! We were not disappointed. The burgers were fantastic. They ordered the boogie (their #1 favorite since leaving California), and I ordered the bacon mushroom cheeseburger. The beef was extremely juicy and tasted amazing, and I write this as a Texan. To be fair, this was my first experience eating beef in New Zealand, so maybe all beef tastes this good. It's hard to explain, but when you eat the burger, you can tell it's locally sourced and isn't processed. You are really one with your beef here! You go up to the counter to order. You're then given an object to take back to your seat as a marker where you are, and food is brought to you. The setup is basically a food trailer with an outdoor patio. I really liked the casual atmosphere, reminiscent of places I visit at home. You definitely should check this place out! Cider $9 Bacon burger and chips $18 Coleslaw $3 Total $33

The peri-peri chips are a must and they have a great range of food. Not ideal for vegetarians or vegans as they mostly sell chicken. You can choose the spice you want which is definetly great. I usually spend around $18 for a full meal complete with a side and a drink however there is free water if you don't want to grab a combo which lowers the price greatly. Ambience is nice and there are also outdoor seats. Located directly outside the Northlands Mall food court meaning lots of parking nearby and shops but it does not follow mall hours.

With the increase of pricing due to inflation they still remain one of the cheapest places to go to. My favorite is most definitely the blue cod, chicken wings & the chocolate explosion donut!!! The burgers are not impressive as other places but for the price it is more than reasonable. Check them out whenever you're passing through Christchurch because it's worthwhile!

Run by a lovely family who have been there donkey's years, this is a real local treat, and something definitely worth venturing a little bit further than usual for. Highly recommend the Monster Burger, an absolute monstrosity of two beef patties, lettuce, onion, cheese, bacon, egg, beetroot and pineapple.

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.

One of the best brewpubs I have been to in the world. Whatever else we may want to say about the…read moreEnglish, they understand the science of crafting a good pub, or at least they used to. Wooden tables and floors with a comfy interior that beckons you to sit, drink, think, and talk in a convivial mode. The twisted hop has all of this as well as great food and beer. They brew their own beer, or rather Jim brews it, and they specialize in English style "real ales" although they have other varieties of beer and wine as well. Real ales are ales that are cask conditioned, that is, they continue to ferment in the cask. They are also dispensed with a hand pump instead of a C02 tap. This makes them delicate and amazingly flavourful in a way that typical lagers and "bright" ales are not. The beers at the Twisted Hop are great and you will want to give yourself some time there since you will want to try them all, maybe more than once. The food, despite The Twisted Hop's English DNA, is really good as well. They have Scotch eggs (ask, or maybe don't ask, what is in them), excellent chips and fish, and everything else looked good too. If you live in Christchurch, you should be reading this while seated at the Twisted Hop. For those traveling to Christchurch, this should be on your list of stops.

The first small victory was the private parking the back. Though there aren't many spaces, it was nice not to have to fight street parking. We entered through the back patio door which leads onto a covered, cozy patio great for enjoying a beer with a friend on a warm day. The restaurant inside is dark and rustic, but the bar is aglow with the colorful chalkboard promoting the beers on tap that day. We spent some time with the bartender discussing the beers available and he helped us find the perfect fit for our palates (pilsner for me!). We sat at a four top table near the wall of books at the front where you can buy a book for a donation that benefits the Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund. I can get behind that! There is a spot for a stage and a counter full of board games. Awesome. For dinner, we stuck to the American-theme menu and ordered tacos and wings. They were delicious, but the tacos were definitely my favorite. Next time I would like to try something off of their real menu, which looked wholly filing and belly-warming. Do you have a favorite brew? They take special requests and will do their best to stock it for you! Definitely recommend this a top bar to spend the afternoon or the evening imbibing craft brews and devouring delicious snacks.
