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.

New building... Now…read morea Mc Cafe... Decent looking playground for the kids... Empty car park... 3 customers already served and eating... And a 10 minute plus wait for 1 mocha and 1 hot chocolate... Slowest most laxadasical service ever... Good coffee, not the hottest though, so need to question why it can take so long. I'd love to see how long it takes when the place is busy. Clients on site said it's been like this since the change. Definitely room for improvement here.

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!

In the the US it is amazing food with brilliant service - here it seems to be average on all fronts.
