Honestly if you go to Queenstown but don't go to Fergburger did you really go? My wife and I were on holiday and we thought it was all hype, we went and honestly it is one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life, my wife devoted hers. Also all the locals and tourists go get a Fergburger and a twelve pack and go see the sunset, totally worth it. If you are ever in Queenstown you NEED to come to this place. Also check out their bakery next door, amazing pesto prosciutto bread. read more

Every time we asked someone what we should do in Queenstown they always said to make sure we came here for a bite to eat. Every time we tried to stop by the line was so far out the door. One day we decided to brave it. Somehow we managed to get a seat too. Took a little long to get the food. Fries were great, onion rings were okay. The bread that the burgers were on were fantastic. That's what made the entire sandwich. Received wayyy too much sauce with all the items. We had so much left over. Staff there is nice. Would recommend this place because it's famous but I"m not sure I couldn't get a similar burger someplace else. read more

Can't give them five stars because it's in New Zealand! But as close as possible. Open late. Well, by open, I mean they have a window where you can order your burger and onion rings to then eat them in 4 degrees. But they were open for us. Just the thing to finish an evening of beer, chocolate and the Remarkables. Must return some day to try a few more of the choice burger choices... Wait. What. read more

Freaking delicious!! The only downside is the long lines and the lack of seating but it is so worth it!! Going early in the morning or around 11pm are generally the best times to go! But don't be put off...if in Queenstown you must get a Fergburger!! read more

Fergburger - Burgers Near Me - Queenstown, OTA

This is my first review for a place I did not end up ordering. Seems the most over hyped place on Yelp. Walked past twice. But could not bring myself to wait in line for what seemed by all looks very ordinary food with funky names and very overpriced. Not even any place to sit down. Walked around the corner to Vudu Cafe - did NOT regret that. If you want a decent burger in peace and sit down go to Halo's down the road a bit. read more

It's always going to get good reviews as it's an icon. But nursing a serious hangover thanks to the lanes of Queenstown and jaeger bombs the night before - these burgers tasted even better than I had imagined I had the Cockadoodle which was chicken, bacon and all the usual salad trimmings. We were with a local so she was clever and phone ordered, so all we had to do was turn up 15 mins later and collect at the window. I'm surprised people don't use their weary brains and do the same? (You should) The line was insane and it was freezing. I'm glad we did that as I am awful waiting for ANYTHING on a hangover, even if there's is a satisfying burger like that at the end read more

Their Meat Pies are the Best!! The Boston Pie is one of a kind Chewy dough light fluffy cream Cannot get enough of.. read more

I wasn't thoroughly impressed with the burger. The meat was somewhat dry. I didn't particularly find it tasty. It is slightly above average but when I order fries and onion rings, and have to pay an extra .50 cents for more than the small amount of ketchup! I'm like, I just paid $12 for a burger and have to buy fries and ketchup?? Man, I missed in and out burger just about now. Not impressed at all. Think it's just about hungry people wanting to get something decent and this was just ok but nowhere close to the 4 or 5 star rating I read about. read more

The hype is definitely real. Did it live up to it? Let's just say I would wait 30 minutes in line but any longer than that, not really worth it. I got the Big Al and well... that was a little too big to actually enjoy. I would suggest downing it to 1 egg and 1 patty otherwise the flavors were great. The hubs got poor little bambi and it was good. It honestly didn't taste like deer but just a regular ole burger. I also wouldn't say this place has the best burgers in the world... I'll go back here when the line isn't too long. TIP: while waiting in line, walk up the street and pick up some beers to have while your hunger grows. read more

Fergburger is the tourists' must do when you head to Queenstown, so I was told. The queues outside this place sure overwhelms. But a kind soul gave me the tip of calling in to order (ordered off their website's menu) and coming in later to pick it up. It took about 25 mins after my call for the burgers to be ready, but at least I didn't have to queue to order and I only waited about 10 minutes in the shop. There are not a lot of seats inside, which also explains the crowd standing and eating outside. But the people behind the counter are fast working and always smiley, so that's a plus. The burgers itself tastes pretty good, are very big, hence value for money. Three people can easily share two! We had the Chief Wiggum (pork belly with apricot seeded mustard) and the Fergburger. Not one of the best we have ever had, but one of the better burgers in NZ we have tried. I would probably gladly have another, but not queue more than 30 minutes for it the second round. But still I struck one of the list on Queenstown's tourist attractions haha. read more

Best burger I have ever had in my entire life. I got the Tropical burger. Fresh New Zealand beef, crispy-thick sliced bacon, grilled pineapple, aioli + ketchup on a pillow soft bun. I will remember this burger for the rest of my life. Thank you Fergburger!!!!!!! read more

Line was massive, and it didn't help that people were freely smoking on the sidewalk next to you...all that for a lamb burger that came out 20 minutes after ordering to be unwrapped by the lakeside, cold and limp. It probably would have been quite tasty had I not spent five minutes looking for a decent spot by the water to sit, but does a burger usually become ice cold in five minutes? Calamari was sold out at 4pm when I arrived. The ingredients themselves were very fresh, and the waitstaff did their best to keep people comfortable and the line moving. Once you place your order, go wander around the local mall, or just go shopping nearby. Then take your loot by the lakeside and sit on one of the benches. But only once, because it is a tourist trap. read more

We must have been super lucky because there was absolutely no line when we arrived. But while we were waiting for our food the line was packed! Phewph! Everyone we talked to told us to try Fergburger so we did! I think the hype was too high for me - not to say it was bad or anything - I guess i just had super high expectations from what everyone told me! My boyfriend loved it though - I think maybe because his burger was better than mine! He chose Mr. Big Stuff and I got the Southern Swine. As much as I liked avocado, I think it cooled down the other ingredients in my burger (probs the main downside). But yeah, I tried his one and the flavours were so much better! We also got the fries with aioli. Yes. Yes. Yes. Do it. The burgers were well worth the money! They were huge! Also the vibes were awesome. Everyone in there seemed to loved their job. Don't forget to keep your receipt you get 10% off at Mrs. Ferg! read more

Came to New Zealand from San Francisco California. Fergburger is by far the best burger I've ever had. Nothing can compare to what we have back in States. Service & staffs are pretty awesome too! 5 Stars! But they charge NZD $0.50 for the sauce. Still worth it though. read more

This clearly is the "it" place of queenstown. At every hour of the day the place is packed with a line well outside the door. But for goo reason. It's very reasonably priced for the incredible size of the burger and there are some incredibly tasty options. It's totally crowded and good luck getting a seat. After waiting the 10 minutes in line you wait another 45 minutes for the burger. Which is the downside to this place. But it so iconic that you can't help but have to add to the wait in line by ordering your own. It's always fully staffed with employees behind the counter shooting out burgers left and right to keep the wait to a minimum despite the incredible traffic they pull in. It's definitely worth the wait once to try it as say you've been there. It is pretty good. But I don't know if its worth waiting another hour for another burger. read more

Fergburger is an icon of Queenstown. People come from far and wide to lineup in the freezing cold just to sample their infamous wares. We got the tip from my Father who had visited a few years ago and said that it'd taken a few days to come to grips with having to lineup for a burger but he was glad he did. I chose the staple Fergburger. The best way to judge a burger joint is on the most basic of burgers, I think. The burgers are generously portioned and I was fighting to finish it off. It was definitely tasty, that's for sure, but I think that there was such a hype over these burgers that I expected something a little more special. Nevertheless, I'm glad we joined the institution. read more

Anything unique? Not really...but it is a REALLY good burger. Shared the classic fergberger and the bombay chicken, and both did not disappoint. Also, come hungry or come prepared to share because even the smallest burgers are enormous. read more

A bit overhyped for the quality of food. Let me start off by saying the burgers are HUGE but the flavors are underwhelming. I'm a Texan girl so I've had my share of burgers. I just felt they could be more flavor in the burger. I would take a smaller burger if it promised me that. I had the original ferg but added cheese. The fries were nice and crunchy and you pay extra for additional sauces. I tried the aioli which was a good complement to the fries. Overall it was fun to try but nothing to write home about. read more

A line out the door, but well worth the wait. Didn't take too long to get a table though. The burger was excellent as described and the onion rings were amazing. Not much for atmosphere, but it was fun sitting at the counter and watching them prepare the meals. This place stayed busy the whole time I was there. It's off the beaten path, but well worth the find! read more

Ok so this is a funny review. We did not actually go there as the line was so long but we saw people eating them and they looked and smelled absolutely amazing!!!! I'd recommend being patient and give it a try! read more

Our hometown of San Diego features a restaurant group inspired by Fergburger, so this was a must-do meal for us. We are so happy we stopped in for lunch, and we must say, the original is still the best! It will take you a while to get your food even during a less busy time of day, but the food is worth it. The beer/beverage selection is decent, and the people watching is fun, so no reason you can't enjoy the wait. Once we got our food we were blown away by the flavors of the Little Lammy and the Fergburger. Hot, juicy, savory, and no need for anything extra beyond what they put in. The burgers are HUGE, so we'd recommend sharing any sides you order (we had a lot of fries and onion rings left over). Only downside is the cramped quarters inside and out, so chances are good you will be eating while standing or taking your food outside. They do have girls outside trying to manage the crowds but you never really see the results. Overall - if you're craving a solid burger and you have some time, make it a point to stop in! read more

Subtle, satisfying flavor. The bun is warm, soft and chewy. You either need a lot of hunger, or be willing to cut it in half because it is a large burger. Well worth the visit in Queenstown! read more

If you are looking for a burger where having a thick, juicy beef patty is your priority, this place isn't it. It's an upgrade from McDonald's but there's a ton of better joints in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest where we love our burger joints. I like my beef in my burgers to be medium to medium rare; these patties are almost as thin as a McDonald's patty that you don't get that option on top of the fact that the patty is bland. The burger overall tastes alright as they do mask the mediocre patty with a sauce that is loaded with seasoning and sweeteners I have not seen in the states. The sauce is probably the reason why people love this place which is fair. Overall, this burger has a lot of flavor due to the sauce so that will appease most people but if you're looking for a serious beef patty, look elsewhere. For you Californians, even 8oz Burger Bar is much better than this place. Finally, I am sure all the other meat options and flavorings are delicious which may make my review seem unfair but again, my priority is in the classic beef burger when it comes to burger joints. read more

This is my favorite burger spot hands down. I ate a Southern swine burger and it was so delicious. I would definitely come back again and would definitely recommend this burger joint to everyone! Oh my goodness the best burger I've ever tasted and would love to try the other ones on the menu. Thanks :) read more

This NZ burger definitely gives American burgers a run for their money. Ordered the double Ferg with cheddar. The burger was massive. The perfect combination of a homemade bun, 2 juicy and flavourful patties, lettuce, tomato, onion, and sauce. I would suggest choosing the single patty, unless you have a huge appetite. Overall, for the price you're paying, you get a sizable and quality burger. read more

Probably 1 of the best burgers I can remember. The milk shake wasn't bad either. A few different meat options - lamb / chicken / deer. They even have gluten free options. I went with the deluxe and I wasn't upset about it. The fries are nothing to write home about. So why not 5 stars? The line usually wraps around the street causing a bit of a wait & once you get your hands on this tasty treat it can be a bit difficult to find a seat. That being said it's a must stop. read more

Lives up to its hype . Long queues but they move fast. Quick service and delicious food! We got mulled wine, holier than thou and bun laden. I finished my burger without a pause or a wink. Highly recommend this place read more

I had the little lamby, and oh my goodness was it delicious. I highly recommend braving the xtra long lines to get a burger. Finish it off with a confectionary from the spot next door! read more

I was told that I couldn't miss this spot and I'm glad I followed the advice. This is a busy spot so come early or wait in line. I had a breakfast sandwich with fried egg , hashbrown, beet root, lettuce, onion, tomato and it was absolutely amazing. I was full well into lunch time. Also check out the meat pies next door they're also amazing. read more

Great burgers for a good price Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 If you're looking for a cheap, but great tasting burger this is the place for you! Expect a line, but even though the line is long it goes by pretty quickly. Don't expect a sit down restaurant, freshly made beef patty, but the quality is definitely better than your average fast food place. I had the Mr.Big Stuff, it was huge! The burger was juicy, well cooked and the bread was freshly made. The toppings also seemed like quality ingredients. read more

Just what we were looking for at lunch. Meat pie sandwich. Simple and not too expensive. Next door is the Fergburger. read more

Not bad, but I didn't try the one the other people say good. I like fudge chocolate cake

In our experience, this place has the most reviews of any other restaurant we've seen in New Zealand. The menu is creative with cool names for their sandwiches. The winner clearly is the falafel Bun Laden. Clearly offends some, but creativity shouldn't be afraid of controversy :) I had the Bombay Chicken which was very flavorful. Those around us were enjoying all the various beef burger creations a great deal as well. read more

The hype is real for this place. It seems like this is the most popular place to eat at in Queenstown. There is always a line to order but it does move quickly! There's not much seating at this place so most people take it to go or sit nearby by the benches. We ordered the fergburger, ferg deluxe, and fries. The burgers were huge!!! Definitely worth trying and comparing burgers you've had. read more

It was ok. Not the best burger in the world, solid. Tried the Sweet Bambi Deer. Not sure if it's worth all the wait though tbh.

You will have to wait for a burger, and seating is limited. However, the food is delicious and the staff is lovely. They do have gluten free options and use a separate fryer to ensure the food remains free of the gluten. The burgers are huge and prices are not excessive. This place was recommended to us as the one place we had to try while in Queenstown, and I'm glad we did. read more

Ok....the BEST burger I have ever had! And the service is amazing! People like Russell make the experience all the better. We ate twice here in three days! The best!!! Thank you! read more

I miss fergburgers!!! These are the best burgers in Queenstown and no trip to QT is complete without a drunken visit to this establishment. No matter what time I used to turn up to this place after a night out, it was always busy and queues of drunken people were regularly seen outside. I do love a kebab after a night out but fergburger was just so much better!! I love the fact that you could even buy fergburger merchandise such as a fergburger t-shirt if you fancied a souvenir of this wonderful place - now what kebab shop does that? :P read more
