One of the gals I was with ordered a Create your Own chicken burger and had to wait well past 15-20 minutes. The other lass got hers pretty normalish time. But mine... Phew... Big Mac and a boys Cheeseburger Happy Meal. Yep you read that right, a Happy Meal!!! Well, my Happy Meal was more of an Unhappy Meal... I'm pretty sure one of the prerequisites for a cheeseburger is the patty, but no, not mine. Maybe they thought, 'hey, he's got a Big Mac too, he's being greedy with his beef intake today so we'll punish him' When I politely (yes I can be polite) asked for a new one with meat she went to slap it a cold set of buns. Jeez girl, don't ya know ya gotta warm buns up before ya get the meat in. Get your mind out of the gutter please people, this is a Family Restaurant!!! So, waiting and watching more service disasters produced a circus performance worthy of Barnum and Bailey, so it was kinda fun watching every single frozen Coke sit for ages melting in the heat of customer frustration till people's food arrived late as, but it's a dumb move to serve those before the food arrives. And it was Sunday night and I can understand Matamata is pretty busy because of the tourist vibe, but wow, it was one inept move after another. I seriously hope they were trainees because the manager sure spoke to them like newbies. Poor showing, but hey, they have plenty of room to improve till the next time I head down and risk it.

It's right in between Bella Italia and The Coffee Club. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 1:45pm). Most people were doing takeout so we also did the same. The menu is split into iskender, vegetarian kebabs, meals $10 and under, pita pockets, meze/sides, kids menu, salads and desserts. You can customize exactly what you want in your order. Service is fast and friendly enough. - Lamb on rice ($10.00 NZD) - my dad's order. Literally just rice and lamb slices. Lamb didn't taste very lamby. He tried the tomato sauce on his. - Mixed iskender ($13.00 NZD) - came with rice, salad and choice of sauce (up to 3). Rice was really good. We tried the avocado sauce. Sadly, it didn't help the chicken or lamb; both were a bit dry and bland. The salad mix was good along with the hummus, tzatziki and red beet labneh. Good portion size too. - Falafel vegetarian kebab ($10.50 NZD) - came with salad topped with any combo of sauce wrapped in a warm pita bread. The falafel was delicious. Loved how they smashed the falafel down in the pita and toasted it up for a slight crunch. Tasty! Great spot for cheap, tasty Turkish/Lebanese food. Takeout is perfect as it's right by the beach.

One burger is a lot of food. We shared a small side of fries and we were stuffed! The first time we ordered beef burgers only to learn they were serving a limited edition chicken burger, Nacho Libre, that sounded amazing. So, this time we were able to order their special! This burger was a delicious breast of chicken with avocado, lettuce, corn, and get this: tortilla chips with nacho cheese and salsa. Sounds crazy but it worked!! It was delicious!! The service was fast a friendly and there was plenty of room to eat inside if it's too cold to eat outside. It seemed like most of the locals take their food from here to go anyway so you will have no trouble finding a table. Enjoy!!

Wanting a view of the lake, we stopped into BurgerFuel. They had music playing from inside, outdoor tables and row seating facing the lake.

Along with a pint of Lakeman Pale Ale to wash everything down for the afternoon. Great meal, nice location... stop in when your on the north island and by New Zealand's largest lake.

But when we're traveling, we're trying focus less on fancy meals and more on the sightseeing. Strolling along Lake Taupo, however, Burger Fuel drew me in for some reason. Perhaps it was the bustle in the place, perhaps the tantalizing aromas emanating from the kitchen, that made my mouth water. This, combined with the promise of fresh, organic ingredients, as well as an interesting flavor palate, caused us to stand in line at this popular New Zealand burger chain. We were not disappointed. It's a pretty small place, wedged in between other, larger restaurants, with a limited number of tables, inside and outside overlooking the lake and a lovely sunset. It was a first for us to have beetroot on a burger -Kiwi Burger-, but the flavor complements the burger meat amazingly. My burger also came with bacon and mango! What a burst of flavor!! Yeah!! It's time to bring Burger Fuel to Los Angeles, people!
