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

Fergburger - Burgers Near Me - Queenstown, OTA

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

Believe the hype...there's a reason why this place ALWAYS has a line out the door. I was skeptical this place was overhyped and would not live up to it, but I was not disappointed. While I waited in line a girl handed me a menu and answered a few questions. The girl at the counter greeted me with a smile and was quick to take my order. She gave me my receipt with my order number on it, which lights up on a screen, once the order is ready. She even provided me with an approximate waiting time for our food. You can see the cooks in the small kitchen making each burger masterfully. All the ingredients are fresh, the meat patties are large, juicy, and savory. The bread is soft with a slightly toasty crust. The size is generous. If you don't like mayo (aoili), let them know because they slather it on a little heavy. The cheese, bacon, onions, tomato, and slightly sweet pickle is the perfect medley of flavors. I ordered the deluxe burger, fries and onion rings. All of it was delicious. The portions are good for sharing. I was only in town for two days and went back both days because I loved it so much. Being from Southern Cali, I am exposed to a lot of good food. I think it's a lot to say that this is the best burger I have ever had. read more

Ok omg, I'm not a beef or burger person and this place was out the door. Finally cave in and gave it a try when the line was short during the afternoon. It has the best beef I have ever had in life. So tender and fresh. Highly recommended read more

I was told that going to Fergburger is a must when visiting Queenstown so we made it our first of many food stops. Our Google Maps wasn't working, but when you find the street that it's on, just look for the place with the super long line out the door and you know you're in the right place. Put a bunch of tourist and hungry people in a small space and of course it's pure chaos. Luckily the staff is wonderful and able to keep the lines moving and keep the restaurant clean. There is limited seating, so I stood in line while my husband watched for a seat to open up. Ordering 1 burger is enough, but I tend to go all out when I'm someplace new and ordered a total of 4 burgers...ya know, the fat American way. Burger #1 Southern Swine: Let me tell you about NZ beef! Oh my lord, it's so freakin' good! You will not be disappointed if you order this burger. Juicy, delicious, cooked to perfection. Plus, there is bacon on this burger and bacon makes everything better. Burger #2 Little Lamby: My first lamb burger in New Zealand and this was a bit of a letdown. The mint jelly served with this burger was a little too sweet for my taste and the meat itself was just, meh. See, this is why I have to order multiple burgers to make sure I get something that I like. Burger #3 Tropical Swine: Very similar to the Southern Swine, but with pineapple and cheddar cheese. I only had a bite of this one and thought it was alright, but my husband loved it. I'm just not a fan of pineapple on my burgers. Burger #4 Sweet Bambi: Oh sweet innocent Bambi! I saw so many deer farms while in Queenstown and fell in love with venison after eating it. If you're going to try venison for the first time, do it here. Would I say that this is the best burger that I've ever had? No, but if I ever get the chance to visit Queenstown again, I will be back. read more

Everyone I spoke to mentioned that trying Feegburger is a "must"! This place usually has long queues throughout the day = long waits! I went at around midnight and only had to wait about 20mins total (waiting to order to getting my food). We ordered the Ferg Deluxe, add a hash brown, onions rings and calamari. The burger buns were quite nice, lightly toasted, and didn't soak up all the oil from the burger. As a matter of fact, the burgers weren't too oily (compared to some of the ones we find in Aus). The onion rings were great, and would recommend adding these to your order!! read more

I still dream about my tempura tofu burger from Fergburger, aptly named the "Holier than Thou". I seriously think I had one of these every single day that I was in Queenstown. These burgers aren't lacking for anything, and they pair well with skydiving and bungee jumping (preferably after, as I'd assume that the burger tastes better going down than coming back up...). It seems to always be busy here, and for good reason- this place is definitely a NZ legend and the hype is merited. read more

It is awesome! I most don't like pies, some I have tried didnt make a lasting impression but Fergbaker is making ones even I want to eat. And I want it really much... Also I can strongly recommend croissants - some are even better than in Paris. read more

This place smells a lot better than what it taste. By far one of the worst burgers I have ever eaten, then I order a falafel burger and I got a pork belly sandwich, good thing I'm not muslin. I should have taken it back but I was at my hotel and I didn't feel like going back. read more

I very rarely eat burgers. Maybe once every few months. In passing through Queenstown for 36 hours, I legit ate a burger here twice.

Perfect morning run especially before your outdoor adventure! Like many yelpers have already said, the Thai Curry Chicken pie is the one to try! It will not disappoint! :) A quick note, there isn't really an area to sit. read more

This place is OUTRAGEOUSLY delicious. I can't even believe all the reviews are not 5 star. I LOVE LOVE LOVE In-N-Out burger that is based in California, but this place, even though I didn't think it was possible, is WAY BETTER! I mean the selection from a Lamb Burger to a Chicken Burger are ALL amazing. I went there two days in a row, waiting in the long line, and enjoyed the burgers. The fries and all the other little sides / spreads are equally as good. The burgers are not only good, but they are huge too. The staff is fun with their constant singing and fun music. It is like a club in there! :-) Love this place and can't wait to go back! read more

Epic burgers! Best time to visit is between 2:30-3:30pm, be otherwise expect long waits. Take away is best option but there is seating available, but it is limited and crowded. Fries are large enough to be shared, especially considering the size of the burgers. Definitely recommend! read more

Fergburger was pretty great. I'm from SoCal where there's tons of great burgers, my favorites being from Father's Office and In N Out, but Fergburger definitely has crafted it's own style of burgers. It's more traditional I would say and generous is size. The first time I went there I had the Classic burget with Brie cheese. I probably should have gotten it with the Cheddar cheese (three cheeses to choose from the other being Swiss). The fries were okay, not the best, but good. I wish they were more generous with the sauces. There's different sauces to choose from but only one comes with the order of fries and any extras coming with an extra charge. On my last day in QT, we came in again for our last meal. I got the Cock Cajun burger and it was delicious as well. It definitely didn't taste like their other burgers with the grease and heaviness. It was light and very tasty, so glad they didn't mayonnaise on this. I tried the calamari and thought it was pretty good, breading was light which I like and more meaty. I personally thought this was better than the fries. Service is nice here and always has a constant flow. The line to order doesn't take that long but waiting for the food usually took us about 10-15 minutes. Don't forget to try out Mrs. Ferg and the bakery next door! read more

A must do in Queenstown, long lines all day, but they move fast. Worth the wait. couple of vegetarian choices, both great.

This review was originally posted on Trip Advisor in January of 2010 since Yelp hadn't yet come online in New Zealand. Being in Queenstown for the coldest summer on record (new snowfall on the mountains in January), we were looking for an inexpensive hot meal, and happened upon Fergburger. We knew that it had to be good from the crowd. You can pick out your burger from the large menu outside, then get in the queue (which they kept moving) to order. They had every kind of burger you could imagine - beef, venison, chicken, lamb, cod, tofu, falafel - with all kinds of yummy toppings. The sides were basic - chips or fried calamari. We opted for the Southern (bacon and avocado on beef) and the Sweet Bambi (sweet plumb chutney on venison), an order of chips, and 2 draft Speight's. The burgers were the size of my head! One serving of chips was definitely more than enough for two people. There's very limited seating, a few benches inside and a few tables outside, so I suggest that you get it to go if there are more than a few people in your group. read more

Really yummy burgers. Huge selection and all prepared while you wait. I had a basic beef burger which came with a delicious blue cheese sauce. read more

The line proves this is a must do if in NZ. My wife had the original Ferg and I had the pork belly, next we will be trying the bakery. In NZ everyone eats meat pies for lunch and we took a peak while in line for the burgers, can't wait. read more

The best burger I've ever had in my life! This place is precious and every burger is totally worth it's money. My friend and I had breakfast lunch and dinner there. You haven't been to Queenstown without eating at Ferg Burgers. read more

Fergburger - Normal Burger with double meet. Heaven. - Burgers Near Me - Queenstown, OTA

Worth the long wait! Accommodating to different diets, I loved the vegan option- bun laden!

A must for meat lovers and there are other options for non-meat lovers like tofu and falafel burgers. We arrived early before 530 maybe 15-20 min wait but so worth it! Burgers are huge and fries were crispy & yummy. This place is small and limited seating so go early if you can. Depending on your appetite, you can easily split your burger but all of us enjoyed our meals and went into a burger coma shortly thereafter. Go hungry and you will. It be disappointed! A must in Queenstown! read more

Tofu burger was quite good. Nice sauce with pineapple. Falafel burger was really average. Quite a big burger so price isn't too bad. Is the long line worth it? For a meat burger maybe, but the vege options don't really feel worth it. Place is super packed, so often better do get the burgers and head to the lakeside to eat instead. read more

Delicious burger and well worth the wait. There is nowhere to sit, so be prepared to find a bench at the park around the corner. I would recommend this burger to anyone who visits Queenstown. read more

For me it lived up to the best burger in the world claim. The line all day also goes to show this is a must stop

More hype than substance. Their burgers are fine, but they surely don't stand out. As a late night food option close to our hotel, Fergburger was great. That having been said, I'd likely skip the line and grab a pie next door if I found myself back in Queenstown. read more

My husband and I stumbled into the line for this place on our first night in Queenstown. Believe it or not, the huge line is what drew our attention and made me look this place up on Yelp. However, the super long line is also why this gets four stars - we waited about 45 minutes in line...at 10:30 at night!!!The hamburger was good, but I would go to other places first before grabbing a burger here on my next visit to Queenstown. By the way, the meat pie store next door is a great place to quench some appetite while waiting in line! read more

I'm from the U.S. and I gotta say, best burger in the southern hemisphere. Definite must place to go for the best burger in Queenstown and possibly New Zealand. read more

Great burgers, great fries, average onion rings. The holier than thou burger with fired tofu is my favorite! Somewhat spicy, right mix of soft tofu and crunchy toppings, and great bread. read more

Awesome meat pies. We tried the lamb shank, venison and portobello, and pork belly meat pies. They were flavorful, filling, warmed up our insides on a frosty day, and in general, were outstanding. read more

These are by far the best burgers I have ever eaten! Besides the fact that every person I know that has visited queenstown suggested this place...it was also well known and recommended amongst the locals. The Chief Wiggum was very tasty. The pork included the rind similar to chicharron which is one of my favorite dishes. It was also extremely moist and juicy. The aioli and honey mustard sauces added additional flavor to the burger as well. The southern swine was also delicious and juicy...the way burgers should taste. Service was fast for a long line and the wait was well worth it. Staff was super friendly too. Highly recommended. read more

Don't get me wrong, it's a good burger... However, I've had better burgers all over the USA. Way too much hype on here, and I'm not why. Here's the deal: good burgers at decent prices in an otherwise way too expensive tourist trap town. If you don't know what else to eat, start here at the very least. read more

Best burger in the world! my favourite is sweet bambi, try the pies next door too if the queues is too long for you.

This is by far the best burger I've ever had. The flavors were so proudly put together. Going into this I thought it wouldn't be as amazing as everyone said but I was blown away. It was also a great place because my friend who is a gluten free vegetarian found something for herself. There is so many options and the staff are so nice! Everything goes pretty fast but there is also an extremely long line. read more

There is a ton of hype over this place. It's good... but I don't think it's worth waiting for 30 minutes in a lineup for a burger. Go next door to the bakery... grab an amazing piece of pie or pane du chocolate. read more

Fergburger has created a international sensation in Queenstown. Everyone that comes to this little town has to try it, and thus has created very long lines to order and get your food. However, the restaurant has a great system in place and many staff to wait on you. There are few tables in comparison to the crowds, so you will either be scarfing down your food on the side of the streets or taking it to go. They specialize in NZ farmed meats from NZ beef to NZ pork belly. Coming all the way here, I had to try more than 1 burger. I ordered the NZ double cheese burger, venison burger(bambi), and a pork belly burger(chief wiggum). They were all amazing! The beef was extremely flavourful, the venison was just the right amount of gamy, and the pork belly has very crispy skin. I would recommend all three. The pork belly stood out to me as I have never had a pork belly burger, and the crispiness of the skin was amazing! read more

The burgers were good but definitely not the best burger I've had in my life, which is what it is hyped up to be. Still worth a visit if you have never had it before but doesn't qualify for a burger I'd rave to my friends about. read more

It takes forever to get a pricey burger. The only thing I can gather is that people really love it because the burgers are the size of your head and it has a large following in New Zealand (there is always a line outside). It was just an also-ran burger for me. I'd take Shake Shack or In-N-Out any day over Fergburger - cheaper, better, faster. That being said, it does stand out versus other food spots in Queenstown so if you really feel like a burger and want to spend an hour and a half there, it will fill you up. read more

With over 1400 Google reviews and 300 Yelp reviews, this place is a must-visit in Queenstown. I got the Bun Laden which was humongous but tasty. Unfortunately limited vegetarian options - just the Bun Laden and another burger called Holier Than Thou - but still a fantastic lunch/dinner spot! read more

Fergbaker is possibly even better than Fergburger. I guess it's a matter of preference, if you're a salty or sweet person. Actually Fergbaker has some salty options too, like their pies, which are delicious. But the main thing to try at Fergbaker has to be their boston cream donut. It was delicious, and if I had the stomach capacity to have one at every meal, I would have. I still managed to have one each day though. Note that it's not quite like a North American boston cream donut, like the ones you can get at Dunkin' or Tim Hortons, but it's even better, with real cream inside...*drool*. I had some of the other desserts and pastries too, and they were all pretty good, but they were overshadowed by the donut, for me. read more

4 days in town and this was the one place we wanted to go to. The line was so long every time we tried it just wasn't worth the wait. I don't care how good your burgers might be, we were not waiting in that line. Especially when you don't have anyplace to sit. Seriously we stopped by lunch and dinner time like 10-14 times, every time the line was stretched out onto the sidewalk past the bakery (which was good). With people eating their food wherever all over town. This was the one place my wife really wanted to go to. It was first on the list of things to do in Queenstown. And we didn't get to do it. read more
