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

Truly a phenomenal experience. Burger was fantastic and onion rings were amazing. Went during slow season so I didn't really wait in any lines. Went twice during my trip. Miss it already!! read more

I was wondering what all the hype was about the Fergburger considering it's "just a burger" but I was glad I waited in the 45 minute line! Supposedly wait times are much longer but the food is great and the service is great considering the line is always out the door. I'm not quite sure what it is about the Fergburger that is different from American burgers but all the ingredients seem to be very fresh and seasoned well! The wasabi mayo was an interesting dip for the fries/chips and I enjoyed that as well :) Definitely come to Fergburger if you are in town. The wait is well worth it! read more

Went due to the overwhelming line and outcry for how amazing the burgers are. Pretty average burger. Lonely Planet definitely steered a lot of people wrong on this one. Would not waste time in Queenstown in line for this burger. read more

Pretty good burger, crazy busy lines even in the winter time. On the southern island, as a tourist, I enjoyed Burgerfuel in Christchurch a bit more. World Bar down the street was also pretty awesome. read more

Stop it!!!! Walked by this place my first night in Queenstown and was surprised to see a never ending line for burgers... but then my second night in town, after a daylong full of adventures, I walked in for lunch and dinner all in one because it seemed like it was the only place open. I got the Deluxe plus the fries, and so did my company and I have to say this had to have been one of the best burgers I've ever had and I lived in NYC, tried some amazing burgers in TX, but this one knocked it out of the park. The hype this place gets is totally worth it. And to top it off, the service was amazing and we had the outside waitress chat with us about Queenstown and her experience as an expat in New Zealand. A great, delicious overall experience. Thank you, Fergburger! read more

Good, but by my tastes just a burger. Better than average ...kind of like five guys in the states but not as good as the Counter in California. Still a positive experience. read more

This place was highly recommended to me and with so many people telling me to try it out, I could not return to the great land of Oz without doing so or I don't think I would have been let back into the country. We had walked pass the shop so many times only to see a long line, eagerly awaiting their burgers. But that did not put us off. We went on a Tuesday around 4pm and to our surprise there was no line and it was a 10min wait for the burgers. They were fergerlicious and full of flavour and deliciously juicy. The service was very friendly and efficient. This is the best burger I have ever eaten and I highly recommend you try this place out when on Queenstown. Yew! read more

Even though there was a fairly long line, it went pretty fast. The burgers were good and so were the onion rings! My only complaint was that my bacon was undercooked on my burger! 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

Thai Chicken Curry Pie. Magnificent. The pies are hot and a really good size. I'm impressed with the quality of their ingredients, as I've had other pies in the area that just aren't as good! Well done, everyone. Well done. read more

The line out the door was outrageous. The staff brought out little cookies from the bakery next door to snack on while we waited, which was lovely. The burger was tasty (& messy/huge), the staff members were friendly, the atmosphere was fun, although also completely hectic. I would go back again but only if the line was short. read more

Total over-hype! Place had a long line but we did get our burger to go (only a hand full of tables) in abt 45 min. We got the signature Fergburger and tried both the fried & onion rings. Burger bun is VERY Large and burger was smaller and paper thin w/o any seasoning (ie salt & pepper would have made a big difference I admit it was Easter break so I would guess quality came behind just pushing out orders quickly. The meat itself appeared to have some other substance worked in so perhaps they resort to using a filler to stretch the meat and serve more customers. I would rather have a smaller tasty burger than something big and poor quality. Onion rings were very good and I would pass on the fries which were mushy. Definitely not worth the wait when there are so many other options in town. read more

My rating is based on the whole experience which I will break down for you. Everyone told me I had to go here and that the burgers were amazing. When I showed up there was a massive line and I waited because of what I had heard but let me tell you I was so unimpressed with the food. First of all the line. When I got there around 2PM the line was to the North Face store. It took me about 30 minutes to order from that point. Then I had to wait another 35-40 minuted to actually get my food. Prices: I got the Mr. Big Stuff was was a decent sized burger but overpriced as were all their items. Food: The burger was good, not the best I've had and nothing that I would describe as a can't miss. Overall, I would say the burger isn't worth the wait and considering it is overpriced I think its best to avoid this. I was with some mates who opted to skip the Fergburger madness and go to Devil Burger down the street. They loved their burgers, didn't have to wait in line and spent about $3-4 less for a comparable sized burger. Save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else, its not worth your time. read more

Huge burgers and fries portions, so the high prices are definitely worth it. If you don't want to wait then call and place an order, it'll take 20 minutes. The only thing is it seems really disorganized and crazy and I ended up having to wait a bit longer for my food because they're all over the place. Still worth it to go and really great if you're craving a burger. read more

Fantastic burger. Long line but goes fast. The burger is huge so no need to get the double cheeseburger..... Onion rings are better than the fries.... Con- wish they had more seating. People are eating on the sidewalks..... read more

I had heard a lot of hype about this place, but it was very average. The burger was okay, the fries were edible, and the fried calamari was too chewy to eat. I think Shake Shack and In N Out are way better burgers, and the only reason this one has done well is because there aren't many great food options near it. People think it's good because its competition isn't. read more

Quite the tasty burger and worth the wait! We enjoyed eating on the bench outside. The fries were piping hot and the deluxe burgers were juicy and delicious. It may seem like it'll be a long wait with the lines but they have their process down pat and it went quickly read more

First of all...this place is amazing. I loved the whole experience. Even though the line is always around the street, the wait was worth it. We went for breakfast, which I definitely recommend, and the wait was about 30 minutes. I got the original burger with avocado and bacon. It was probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. The line moved quickly and they're open for more hours than any other restaurant we went to. The service was great, the food was great, and the atmosphere is exceptional! Next time I visit Queenstown I will definitely be going back to Fergburger! To top it off we sat by the water to have a nice view while we ate! read more

Totally worth it. We hit it perfect with no wait and it rivals any burger i have had in the US. Highly recommend.

I had the cod father and fries. Everything was not as greasy as I was expecting. The sauces were good too. I actually mixed sauces at the recommendation of my server. My wait wasn't too bad, like 15 minutes. I went on a weekday (Thursday) at 3pm. read more

Delicious tofu burger here. Although there's just one vegetarian option on the menu, its a must try. I heard a lot about this place while visiting Queenstown and expected long line as written by other reviewers but it was totally worth it. read more

Really good burger. Nice flavors and the onion rings were really good! I didn't love the shake (got the mint), it was a little watery. The lines are long but they do move quickly. read more

Average burger. A very long line. Just wanted to try it out Felt like a college atmosphere read more

This place is so overrated. Limited veggie options and is way too expensive! I don't know if everyone is so obsessed with this place because it's become somewhat of an institution or because it's a small town with limited burger options but trust me there are so many better options for yummy, quick bites around the park area. read more

I would say it is definetly the best burger in Town, if not the best in New Zealand. The waiting line, which you'll find most of the times in front of the restaurant is no cause of slow working employees!!! They got really great burgers, with different kind of meats (beef, chicken, fish, etc.), sides and salads. Don't be scared by the waiting people, you will get your burger faster than it might look like and you will love it. read more

Well I just don't get it. Went to New Zealand for the first time. As a Yank coming to New Zealand everyone said I must have a Fergburger. If anyone actually came here and made a real American hamburger, they would probably make a fortune. It's an adequate quarter pound burger, put on a large bun. The meat is boring, and tge sauce they put on it, that they think is some form of ketchup, is sweet and disgusting. Don't waste your time or money! read more

Omg so good. While planning my trip to Queenstown, Fergburger kept popping up everywhere for a must visit destination. And then after a friend of a friend from New Zealand recommended it, my traveling companion and I decided to stop by the night of our arrival into the city. It was so good. Great proportions of the meat and toppings, good size, and well worth the buck. I highly recommend visiting if you like burgers. I just got the standard cheeseburger they offer with swiss and it was so good. Sorry, no pictures as I devoured it before considering to take photos. The staff is really friendly as well and come out while you wait to chat about the company, how they started, where they're heading and to make sure we were ok while waiting. There is always a line for ordering but it's worth the wait. Thanks again for making the experience great! Definitely a highlight of our visit! read more

5/5. Its pretty good, but depending on how you like your burgers, it can range from great to amazing. For reference, my burger eating experience includes In n out, Five Guys, Culvers, Shake Shack, and Habit burger. I've also tried various local places like Zuni's burger, the 2x "best burger in America" at Au Cheval (though I prefer small cheval better), various pub/bar burgers and Kuma's in Chicago. Yes I also have eaten at Jack in the box, steak n shake, "arby's", McD, Wendy's, Checkers, Epic burger, and Burger King. As a red (white and blue) blooded American, I feel like I have substantial experience and knowledge of burgers and burger styles. Given the make-up of the Fergburger, I would consider it most akin to the steakhouse burger. So if you like steakhouse style burgers, then this burger is in my opinion top 5 burger I have ever had for that style. I would say top 8 burger overall. What it is: A steakhouse burger. The beef patties are each a little of a centimeter thick and cooked to medium-rare with ~50% browning of the outside. The patties are probably most similar to the Five guy beef patties. It's similar thickness to Five guys burger but much wider. Since it's cooked to mid-rare, its more moist and not as dried out as Five Guys. It's also not overly seasoned and ultimately comes off as very beefy. What makes Fergburger better than most burgers is the bun. Fergburger buns are soft but dense enough to withstand the moisture of the beef juice and the aioli sauce. In my opinion, this is one of the reasons why the Au Cheval burger has so many accolades. They have a good dense bun that doesn't disintegrate once it encounters moisture like white wonder bread does. Fergburger bun isn't just a physical interface between your hands and the beef like whatever buns burger king uses. Fergburger's bun actually contributes enough of a "doughy bite" to the burger for a positive experience. Respect. Like a steakhouse burger, It comes with sufficient aioli sauce and onions. It also comes with a leaf of lettuce and slices of tomato. It doesn't taste too greasy either even with the bacon. What it is not: If you prefer the "diner style" burger, which has thin patties with lots of browning (Maillard's) and almost crispy beef, then Fergburger isn't really for you. You'll see/taste that it's a great burger, but you'll still favor with your Culver's or Shack Shake. Fergburger isn't the balanced California-style burger like In n out burger is where each ingredient contributes to the burger equally. At Fergburger, the meat is definitely the star, but not the entire cast. Fergburger isn't the minimalistic style burger where the burger is only meat, cheese, and (just ok) bread. Other notes: 1) "American Streaky Bacon" is just regular bacon strips. It has a nice ham-y flavor. It does not overpower the flavor of the beef too which is nice. The bacon balances very well with the beef which isn't always easy to do. However, It is not crispy though at all, so keep that in mind. Sometimes, I just love how crispy the bacon is at Shake Shack or Five guys and how the crunchy bacon texture contrasts the soft beef and gooey cheese. 2) They have Cheddar cheese on the menu, but as an American, nothing epitomizes a cheeseburger more than a burger that has processed American cheese. Its less salty-tasting and "funky", but is more quintessentially "cheesburgery" (for lack of better words) compared to Cheddar cheese. 3) Thank you Fergburger for not mimicking those high-end restaurants that stack all their ingredients vertically and make the burger eating experience incredibly difficult and messy. With burgers that are too tall, each bite is not uniform which sucks. As a rule of thumb for burgers and sandwiches, you want something that is roughly the height of 2-3 fingers. Also, thank you for not making us shell out a lot of $$ for a small, unfilling burger (I'm looking at you Shack Shake! At least with In n out, the burgers are cheap enough that you can afford 2 of them) Final words: I don't know if I said every little detail I wanted to say but honestly, if you are in the area, try it. Its pretty good! Depending on how you like your burgers, it may be great or it may be the best you've ever had. I think its pretty damn good and worthy of the hype. But hand over heart, I still prefer In n out. read more

Decent Burgers.. Nothing Extraordinary.. Kind of touristy must do place..check :)

Our first meal in Queenstown was here. Every time we went past this place there was a line, so we joined in and it moved fairly quickly. We got a CodFather, a burger with swiss, and a Bambi. I've had better burgers by far, for the price ($12.90) but my dining companions really like theirs. We also got the fries with wasabi mayo and I couldn't really taste any wasabi! read more

Went at 1 PM on a Monday, line was short, 20 minutes wait for my burger after ordering. I had the deluxe burger and it was amazing! The hype is real! The staff is friendly, price is good, and the burgers are off the chain! read more

I was looking forward to eating at the famous Fergburger and was ecstatic when given the chance. The wait was long even around 4pm but know it is much longer later on in the evening. I had the little lamby burger and it was good. The aioli sauce that came with the fries was DELICIOUS. My Dad was not very impressed with the regular Fergburger and said it was just like any other hamburger. However, the pastries next door were AMAZING. I'd recommend going next door for dessert. read more

Don't let the line put you off. The Ferg Burger team were great at coming along the line with water, fries and cookies and menu's to help pass the time. We waited in line for 15 minutes and it was well worth it. Great burgers, with great service. Will definitely be going back on my next visit. Also make sure to check out the Ferg Gelato and Ferg Bakery next door for some amazing Pies! read more

My favourite burger ever would have to be at Fergburger without a doubt, arrived in Queenstown and couldn't believe the Line of people waiting to get in the door. Now I know why!!! YUM You could have to wait in line for a while and wait for your burger to be cooked fresh but believe me you won't be disappointed. read more

Gigantic burgers, and so good! The menu is very clever, the beef perfect and the atmosphere great. It's very busy (it seems busy at any time of day), so you might not end up getting a table but all burgers are prepared to go, so you can just sit on a bench outside or take it with you. Lots of very cheerful staff and we didn't have to wait long at all. Perfect after a day of skiing! read more

Traveling as a group we tried out several burgers over a 10 day period and can only say one thing. Amazing!!! No pains, no gains. The lines /queue to place an order was shorter at 10am, 3pm and 11 pm, but the quality and taste of the food was the same. Our wait time varied from 5 minutes to 30 minutes. The staff is very supportive and enables neighboring businesses to function without disrespect to the customers. A Must Do in QT. read more
