Stopped in for early morning breakfast while on our way out of town on Friday. Couldn't quite hear the customer service lady at the drive thru though she was nice enough. Our order was correct and prompt.
On the way to Auckland, McDonald's Bombay Hills is close to the B.P.
I stopped by on the way home from Hamilton and ordered a make-your-own burger, which, I think, is a great way to get what you want in a burger. I also ordered fries and a drink.
My experience was pretty mixed. The staff were friendly and brought my drink to me in advance, which was nice. The burger was great, and the portion of fries was generous. Unfortunately, the chips were bordering on cold.
If you're on your way home, and you need a quick meal, I'd recommend McDonald's, though I'd suggest friends, family, and followers have a look around first before deciding.
Stopped by here on the way to Taupo for a quick bite. I tried one of their new gourmet burgers - the Homestyle which was pretty good. Of course, this will cost you more than the typical fast food burger (at $10.90), and while it's no BurgerFuel, it tasted a lot more luxurious than a standard Big Mac. Note that these also take a bit longer to make (about 10 minutes or so).
Part of the same range is also an option to create your own gourmet burger using the 30 or so ingredients available - with different buns, burgers, sauces and salads. Think exotic new arrivals like chipotle and caramelized onions.
I'm a bit of a food snob, but I have to admit the new range is pretty exquisite for a fast food outlet.
