Tasty, addictive, and the best priced meal in town. I stayed in queenstown for 4 days and I ate at this place 5 times. Generous sized burger with lots of options. Buns are brought fresh from the bakery next door every couple of hours. All ingredients taste super fresh. Their fries are amazing as well and well portioned. Had their calamari also but I would stick with the fries ;). There is always a line but it is definetly worth the wait. If you get a burger with fries you can definetly share (request to cut in half) Beer and wine also offered. Service is excellent and attentive. An overall experience of 10/10. Until the next time I'm in NZ or they open in California :)) read more

I will begin with - I'm biased - I will forever love In-N-Out the most, not only because of the taste, but also because of the price. Some of my loyalty may be chalked up to being a CA girl, but you can't beat $3.40 burgers (even when you take into account the US - NZ exchange rate at the time I was there, the fergburger is $7.70) that taste so amazing in my objective opinion. :P Now, that I've confessed that fact, I HIGHLY recommend this place. The wait is worth it! The fergburger is amazing - happy NZ cows make for amazing meat. The meat to bun ratio was excellent; the bun itself is quite a magical-tasting piece of food on its own. They also had a great vegetarian option - Holier than Thou, which my dad really liked (and my dad's very particular about his vegetarian options). Although there aren't too many places to sit, you're a mere 0.25 miles (or less) from places to sit with unreal scenery (per NZ usual). Do it. Get the fergburger. read more

In a nutshell: althought is hyped and you have to queue for 15mins in average, you cannot passed Fergburger without ordering - killa-tasty :-) Try bluecheese - still got this taste in my mind... read more

Our reaction after the first bite: "This is legit." I don't know what they do to make the burgers so good, but they're bloody awesome. Stick to the regular Fergburger (with or without cheese) for your first. We did a Big Al too, which was absurd-- it does NOT feed two, but you can order fries to make up for it. Or walk around like a whale on a full belly if you eat a Big Al by yourself. So. Freakin'. Good. We had the lamb and the venison too, which are good but I think the beef is the thing to do. Crowded, yes. Hot cider, yes. And for some reason no one ever orders the calamari or onion rings, at least not that we saw. What does that mean? I have no idea... read more

Stopped in here with my wife and grabbed the classic cheese burger. We spit it, and it was enough to feed us both with fries. Delicious. Super fresh ingredients, cooked perfectly, if you want a good burger this is the place. read more

The line can get pretty long, but the wait is so worth it! Their burgers are delicious and big enough to share with another person, if you want to. There isn't much seating available, but there are some benches outside that you can use. All the staff are friendly and make sure the line is constantly moving. read more

Probably one of the best meat pies I had the pleasure of eating while in NZ. The Thai Chicken was perfect - buttery crust with a delicious filling. So yummy, so cheap. My only regret is that I didn't eat more of them. Great pastries too - had the kids doughut, which in appearance looks like a the doughnut Homer Simpson eats with frosting and sprinkles. The doughnut itself tasted a little more bready vs. sweet, but it was awesome as the super sweet frosting was just enough to make give it that doughnut flavor. read more

My fiance fell in love with this place. There will be a wait so be prepared to wait at least 20 minutes..... Southern Swine $13 and $1.50 for extra cheese. This reminded me if a California burger with avocado and the cheese it was delicious Wiggum $14.90 was their pork belly burger and extremely amazing. we loved the crispness of the pork belly it fully complemented the burger. The burgers buns are perfectly toasted and oh so good. We also picked up calamari which was $5 and friend perfectly. We also picked up some French Fries with sauce $4.50 which was okay. I think California has better sauce and fries though. read more

The best Burger ever! I have eaten there 3 times during my 6 days trip in Queenstown I love it and miss it still... I have tried 3 types of burger and I like the Fergburger the most , the simple beef burger it's so delicious I didn't expect that when I first tried thought just a tourist place but I was wrong. You gotta try it and you will love it! The other two types are nice as well I've tried bacon one and the pork belly one still I love the simple one the best! Thank you fergburger for the delicious food! Service are good too despite the busy queue as always... read more

Probably the best burger I've ever had due to the completeness of the burger, pros: the veggies in it added more flavor but the meat itself (grass fed no abc or hormones) was so juicy and cooked right, not burnt. The bun wasn't soggy when I ate it and I didn't mind the feeling of the fattyness lol Cons: long lines makes about a 30-45 minute wait to place an order and an extra 10-15 to get your order. There's no best time to go to avoid lines other than regular lunch dinner times like 12pm and 6pm. You'll always see a line out the door along the sidewalk Despite its long lines, id say it's the best burger I've had due to its completeness. Queenstown you're beautiful. read more

I'm not entirely sure I'd call it a burger. It's a great big bun with some meat. It's also really messy. Lots and lots of tomato relish, I think to cover up the fact that the meat is fairly bland. I had the basic burger with cheddar. I should have cut the meat patty and the bottom bun in half and made it a double stack and tossed the top bun. You could have carved it out to use as a chowder bowl. Good chips. Really good chips. read more

The burgers are great. My review is to warn people with celiacs disease. Eat here at your own risk! The gluten free buns receive no special treatment and go through the same assembly line as the normal burgers. I noticed this and still very stubbornly ate the burger. Very much so cross contaminated... but it was no fault of theirs as their process isn't perfect and caters to the "gluten free" crowd. It would be awesome if they were able to offer something for the crowd which cannot deal with cross contamination. A gluten free bun is a nice gesture but celiac beware! read more

Just like others have posted, don't let the line scare you off because it is well worth the wait! The burgers are massive, cooked to perfection and steaming when you receive it. We had the Mr. Big Stuff, a Ferburger with Brie, a plain Ferburger and fries with barbecue and aioli sauces. All were delicious, and we'll surely be back to try something different before we leave Queenstown. On a last note, don't expect to find a seat because indoor seating is very limited. We placed our orders, were told it would be about 30 minutes so we went next door to get pastries at Ferbakery and had dessert first. When we finally got our food, we ate on the hood of our car. That was not a deal breaker for us so still a 5-star meal! read more

Honestly, a bit overrated. I got the Big Al and expected to have my mind blown. I mean honestly, look at the reviews. Everyone raves about it and the line to get a burger is insane. I've never seen anything like it. In actuality, it's just a mildly above average burger. I'd consider giving it 4 stars if it didn't take 45 minutes to get your food, but even still, I think 3 is more appropriate. I honestly really wanted to write an amazing review for this place and explain the burger in a lot of detail, but there just isn't much to say. Ingredients are pretty average. They all just blended together. Nothing really stood out except the beet, which was actually pretty good, in small doses. Otherwise it was too overpowering and gross. The patty itself was fairly flavorful and definitely cooked right, but just didn't wow me at all. It left me wanting more. More for the time spent, the money spent, and the hype built up. I've had a lot of great burgers in my life and this one won't even crack the top 10. read more

Great burgers, but call ahead to order otherwise it's like a 2 hour wait in line, if you call ahead it takes like 15 min

3.5* rounded up to 4. Yes, it is good. But given the long wait, crowds, and lack of seating are definitely worth a negative star. I tried the burger with a cheese brie- darn good in my opinion. Perfectly cooked meat and a great roll to boot. Fries were so so-- I saw the guy in the back taking them out of a frozen bag. read more

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant Burgers! (Not normally my first choice for food) We were told this was the best place in New Zealand if not the world! It was awesome, form the long queue (someone was there to make sure no one jumped the queue, to the service and then the burgers! We ordered far too much as these burgers are enormous no need for sides! read more

I'm not usually a burger fan, but these massive burgers are what life is about. The tropics burger with wasabi mayo instead of aoli is ! The burgers and fries are all well worth the wait in a long line. read more

Yum yum yum. This is a must do on your bucket list for Queenstown. It is a small burger joint but so delicious. They have all different kinds of meats to choose from. The only problem is that there is always a line. If you are lucky you can snag a place to sit inside. If not don't despair they have benches outside. read more

The line was long but moved fast. The cockadoodle oink and mr big stuff burgers were delicious. Highly recommend

The BEST burger I have ever had in my entire life. I don't recall the name of the burger but it had bacon and avocado and I added an egg. Seriously the most delicious thing I've put in my mouth in a long time. Wish there was a place close to home that did burgers this well. When in Queenstown it is a must read more

This is one of the best ~$10-12 burgers that I've had. Really good bun. Fresh and good texture through. Burger is really good sized and the beef isn't overcooked. They have Speight's Golden Ale on tap, which is a perfect complement to these burgers. It's pretty busy throughout the day. I would recommended calling in your order and then picking it up later and eating it by the beach. read more

Expect long lines and juicy, delicious burgers the size of your face.

A good burger place. Hubby had the double cheeseburger with Swiss and I had the Bambi burger. Although delicious, they were definitely not the best we've had. We felt it was really more about quantity than quality. I don't know that I'd want to go through the wait and hassle to go back again. And even though the chips/fries were good, after eating a burger that size it was way too much! And it was quite pricey, at $12-$18 per burger, without the side. Also, they should do more for crowd control. But if you like to wait in a long line and fight for a table, then this is the place for you! read more

We always go to Fergburger when we're there and order up large. Got such a shock today. Burgers were ALOT smaller and buns were dry and horrible. No taste to the burger at all. Both of us are still feeling sick from them 2 hours later. You were great once Ferg, but no more. read more

One of the best burgers I've had. Period. The toasted bun, the secret sauce, the perfectly done meat. Yumm read more

yes, I laughed when the tour guide said Fergburger is the best hamburger in the world....dud I lived in Los Angeles home of some of the best hamburgers around. I tried the Fergberger on the second day I was in Queenstown, New Zealand early this September... The verdict came down much easier then I thought... Fergburger is one of the best hamburger in my voted......... read more

We came at around 9:30 and there was a short line but it moved quickly. I ordered the Sweet Bambi, and it hit the spot! It was a wonderful combination of flavors. My husband got the Ferg Deluxe. He said it was good but not the best he's ever had. I took a bite of his and would have to agree. The fries tasted like normal fries, but I did like the variety of sauces. Definitely recommend this place. If you want to avoid the long lines, go during off hours. read more

The wait line is crazy. Recommend calling 20mins ahead of time and picking up at the counter. The burgers are huge but so worth the wait. We all demolished a deluxe ferg which is usually way too much food for me. A must try in Queenstown! read more

Worth the line!! We ended up actually coming here for breakfast one day because we only had two days in queens town and wanted to squeeze in all the restaurants. I had one of the breakfast sandwiches and my husband had a burger which were both so delicious! It's definitely a must stop if you are visiting!! read more

We saw long lines outside this much talked about Reataurant on the Main Street of Queenstown as we climbed down the steps of the Skyline Gondola. I was tempted to go in but my family wanted a sit down dinner at the Indian place down the street so we went there. We will try it this evening! We hope to order ahead and skip the lines:) read more

We had the lamb burger, fries, and mulled wine. The team got us our wine immediately and it was quite delicious. Being from the Mecca of burgerland in the Midwest US, the lamb burger wasn't super memorable but the flavors and uniquity of the combination made our tastebuds happy. Of course the fries were good too. If possible find a spot at the bar so you can watch the action, it's impressive how efficiently the kitchen staff works. read more

Glad we tried this burger spot! Although there was a line we actually got our food within 15-20 minutes and staff were great about letting us know the wait expectancy as we got in line. Large selection of burger options and meat types. I went with the classic Fergberger with cheese and we also had the Bambi.. both were bursting with flavor! I also had the fries with aoli, the fries weren't anything special. I'd recommend the squid as a side instead- it was breaded and was delicious! read more

Good bakery on the main drag. We had a orange almond cupcake after seeing them on the menu all over New Zealand and it was fantastic. The icing was just the right level of sweetness and beSt of all, it was gluten free. Everything here looks super tasty and is a pretty good distraction from the Ferburger line. Buy a slice. Enjoy. read more

It's true. Best burgers ever! Don't be scared of the queue. Even if you have to wait a while (which you probably will), its worth it. They'll give you an order number and an estimate on the wait time. You can explore town a bit or grab a beer somewhere else. Come back and prepare for the awesomeness. read more

After being ordered by the wife to try the burgers here, I'm glad I followed trough and had a small breakfast and saved room for this monstrosity. The place runs like a well oiled machine, fr the barkers out front keeping order to the line cooks and order clerks, everything flys by. They'll help you order, because everything looks great, so it's hard to choose. We were lucky enough to grab a seat too, so we got to witness the fun. Anyway, the meat was super fresh and serve med-rare which was a sweet bonus. I had the Big Al, which had just about all the fixins, and I barely finished it. My brother had a smaller one, but loved it too. All in all, great burgers and fast, so worth it. Not the best burgers we've ever had, that still goes to Mary's in Sydney, but this is a worthy contender in NZ. read more

OMG I love love the Pies here. They are delicious. The pork belly with caramelized apple, yum yum yum... I had a fair few of these over the weekend that i was in Queenstown. The smell alone in here will entice anyone to come in. I also tried the lamb shank pie and this was also very very nice. Unfortunately the coffee was horrible and left a bad taste in my mouth. But I helped this down with a nice banana and toffee treat. This place is so close to getting a 5 star. It needs to either improve the coffee/barista's or remove the coffee all together. read more

I don't usually get cream with my desserts but I couldn't resist trying Fergbaker's famous Boston Cream Donut - and I'm glad I did! Tasty without being too sweet. I wish I'd had more time to try their other desserts! The queue out the front of this place rivals Fergburger. Handy only having to step next door for a dessert after a burger! read more

Fergburger - Boston cream donut - Burgers Near Me - Queenstown, OTA

HOLY FROZEN DONKEY BALLS I didn't expect Queenstown to be soooo cold late-March!!!! I'm glad Fergburger was there to comfort me in a time of questionable packing decisions - I definitely needed more than just a jumper! SERVICE To say this place is chaotic is putting it lightly, but the staff does an excellent job managing the chaos. Keep up the good work, kids! QUALITY 10/10.. The burger was off the chain!!!! Patty cooked to perfection. Bun made fresh without being too stiff where you feel like your teeth are chipping with every bite but not too soft where it disintegrates in your hands. Veggies?? Fresh! Fresh! Fresh! VALUE You get EXACTLY what you pay for - a juicy, tasty, delicious burger that will satisfy the hungriest of beasts If you find yourself starving in Queenstown, do yourself a favor and make sure you get your booty over to Fergburger read more

I think I just shed a tear thing about the the donut. Have you ever had a Boston cream donut in the states? Yea well, I have to say as an American, Fergbaker makes a better Boston cream donut than any Boston cream donut I've ever had in the US. I do not like sweets a lot because most of the time it's overwhelming. But hey whatever I was on vacation. I had a Boston cream donut cause I heard it was pretty good. Well, I'm not disappointed! It was so good, I had it multiple times. And because they're open late I ate one at the wee hours of the night too. FERG DONUT ALL DAY EVERYDAY! Everyone should experience the luxury of this donut. I wish I tried their pie too, but really I can only eat so much. Then again, I was also confused about what makes a regular apple pie from either NZ or AU different from an "american apple pie"? Next time I go back I'll give it a try. read more
