FatBoy Burger is a burger takeaway at 232 Roydvale Ave in Bishopdale, Christchurch, rated 4.9 on Google, with a Facebook page as its online home.
The measure of a good burger takeaway is in the basics: beef seared hard on a hot plate for a proper crust, a soft bun that holds the juices, chips cooked fresh. Patties made to order mean a short wait at dinner time is usually a good sign, not a bad one. Regulars judge a new burger place on its plain cheeseburger first. Get that right and the loaded versions will follow. In suburban Christchurch, Friday and Saturday evenings are peak burger time, so ordering early is a well-worn trick.
For Bishopdale locals, that combination makes FatBoy Burger an easy call when burger night rolls around on Roydvale Ave.
