"Ok selection of European wines."

"Precision food prep, great staff morale."

"Best run Macca’s in Auckland – keen staff, precision food prep, visible cleanliness & efficiency. There are three McDs closer to where I live but this is the one I drive to when I want junk food."

"What's good? The bread, obviously, but the pain au raisin I tried the other day was an agreeable variation – more robust than the standard French-style PauR, less custardy but very satisfying. Oh yes."

"Excellent won ton noodle soup at the scungy-looking "Chinese Cuisine" joint by the door upstairs."

"Interesting assortment of mostly German and Scandinavian grocery items and sweets."
