Fergburger lives up to the hype. Take the advice of the other reviewers who say to go for the fries! The aioli sauce is amazing and I'd recommend ordering a sampling of other sauces (at .50 a piece) to try. I had the Fergburger and husband had the Little Lammie. Not much to say that hasn't already been captured, but the meat was juicy, the bread was perfect and it took a lot of willpower to leave some over! We are around 3:30pm (linner, the meal between lunch and dinner) and were full enough to not need to eat for the rest of the day. Also, not sure if it was a fluke or just luck, but at 3:30 there wasn't a line. Nada. Hop over to Fergbaker afterward to get 15% off a sweet treat. Your tastebuds will thank you! read more

Long lines. Good, large portion comfort food. Many choices too. If you crave a burger, this is must.

We were only in Queenstown for a day, but I'm so glad we chose Ferg for our main meal. We had two seriously great burgers and shared an order of piping hot fries. Seating is minimal which is why it won't get 5 stars from me, but for value and taste I give this place two thumbs up. read more

Located right next door to Fergburger these guys cater to the needs of those with a sweet tooth. They have vegan and vegetarian options too so everyone is catered for. If you're not sure which flavour to opt for feel free to try as many you like until you decide whichever one floats your boat ! read more

We went here during our vacation. It took about 45 minutes overall to get the burgers, which they did warn us about beforehand. The burger was ok but with all the hype I expected better. I guess it's because we have so many good burger places in California - in n out, shake shack, fathers office, etc. I personally prefer in n out over this. But it was good to try and say that we finally went! read more

Best burgers we have had in New Zealand by far! So worth the wait if you run into a line

Very overrated. The burger itself was not that great, but the toppings were very generous and made the burger better. The buns are huge and fresh, and the overall product is fresh-- it's just that for $14-18 and all of the preceding hype, I was expecting a great burger and got a very average one. Expect to wait 15-25 minutes due to the lines and relatively slow service. read more

It's worth every minute you have to wait! I really liked the Chief Wiggum. Also a rich variety of veggie burgers. definitely one of the best burgers in the world! read more

When in Queenstown, you eat Fergburger. It's as simple as that. I heard about Ferg while traveling in NZ and when I made it to Queenstown I knew it was my first stop. The line will be long, but moves fairly quick, and they're open almost any hour of the day so you should be set. I had the lamb burger and the classic burger - both were excellent. Super tasty meat, sauce perfectly portioned, and yummy bread. Exactly what a burger should be. I'm sure the rest of the menu is as on-point...but sadly I didn't get to stay long enough to test it out. The only thing I was kind of unimpressed by was the calamari...I wish I'd just gone with fries instead. read more

Super delicious burgers Very filling too Had the original fergburger with Swiss cheese read more

The wait was long, but the staff informed us of the delay and provided otherwise quick service and delicious food and the burgers are massive read more

The Fergburger actually surpassed the hype. It was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Beef, tomato, lettuce, red onion, and tomato relish equals pure excellence. I devoured the mammoth in 3 minutes and wanted a second. My wife had the cock-a-doodle doo (chicken burger). It was equally delicious. It's a must have if you are passing through Queenstown. read more

Fergburger was recommended to me by statesiders as well as my family who lives in Wellington. The lines are long for a reason! On our first attempt, the lines were too long for our schedule. However, our second attempt was perfect timing! There were shorter lines and we were able to find a table inside. You must stop in for a burger! read more

We only spent a couple days in Queenstown, but this place was definitely a highlight during our time there. I ordered the Fergburger. It was seasoned perfectly and came out incredibly juicy. And like other reviews said the lines can be long, but the service is pretty fast considering the amount of traffic they get here. They need to expand and open one in the U.S. read more

Definitely a burger spot to try if you're big on gourmet burgers or just a really fresh burger. They're always busy so they have such a quick turnaround- everything tastes really fresh. Got a regular burger with cheese and the beef was perfectly cooked. The chips are thin and crisp, onion rings were really crisp too. Try their gelato, or as a shake - pretty good. (Not the best gelato ever but it was pretty good. Try the hokey pokey). Fortunately the wait isn't as long as you'd think, they are really efficient and move ppl through fast. Warning if you don't like crowds or packed places, or lots of tourists, cuz you'll always find that here. read more

Delicious burgers, every one says it is a Queenstown must but is just a good burger. Go next door to get bakery too

It was too late by the time I realized they don't offer free ketchup with fries, since I already picked aioli as my condiment. (I've come to expect all-you-can-slather ketchup buffets from burger joints.) There was aioli pretty much slathered all over my burger's lettuce.. a little much. (But the aioli was good with the fries. Great fries.) Also the burger meats are cooked medium well to well..?! A lot of this is just personal preference but what is true is that the ingredients were all very fresh and cooked/prepared well, and the employees were very nice and patient with the endless horde of hungry people. I feel fortunate to have tried Fergberger though my burger heart still belongs to super duper & in-n-out :P read more

Love this place. HUGE burgers, tasty and pretty good for you. A MUST for any going to QTown.

I lost my Fergburger cherry about 3 years ago and recently returned last month. It was just as enjoyable as the first time that I tried it. Solid bun, meat, and fries to go along with it. The burger itself is MASSIVE (even by large USA standards) and well worth the cost. In most cases, I'd say it can be split between two people. The wait was about 20 minutes to get it take away, so if you're in a hurry, I'd recommend calling and ordering ahead. read more

The onion rings were great. The burger too. I would call this a good burger joint but not a must-do. If you live in a big city you will likely have a similar place at home. If you live in Queenstown I have no idea what's the competition like. read more

A local we met on the plane recommended FB to us. So glad we trusted him! Coming from so cal, In and Out territory, I had high expectations. This place is so much better! We tried the tropical swine with bacon and pineapple. For a burger with so much on it, I could still taste the beef. The produce was fresh and crisp just like the air in Queenstown. This is one massive burger and I enjoyed every bite! Wish we had one in So cal. read more

Best meat pie I had travelling all around Australia and New Zealand. The Ferg's do it again!

This place was incredible! Open late, reasonably priced, and absolutely delicious pies and desserts. Nomnomnom.

We were told by multiple people to get a burger at this place. I got the codburger and enjoyed it. The lines are long and the wait is long but the food and worth a try if you're visiting Queenstown. The burgers are large and the buns are tasty. read more

You go any time and there is a line so not sure when to go and expect that i will get my burger in 5 min :). I have to say that its worth the wait for this place as for the price you pay you get huge portions. The burger size is huge and chicken is super tender and bun is super soft. we also had the veggie falafel burger which was also super tasty. if you are in queens town you have to visit this place and try out the burgers, they are just Amazing :) read more

ambiance//***** regular burger joint...with lines up the wazoo! looks like a tourist trap....but wait it's legit! perfect counter area for people watching facing outside a few tables inside...or do what everyone else does and hang out on the benches outside to scarf down your burger, chips, and beer.....oh yes, americans, when i say chips i mean FRIES service//***** the people that work for the ferg et. al establishments are all super friendly and fun-loving despite the THRONGS of people that go in at all hours point in case? a lady working at mrs. ferg leaped into the arms of a guy from fergburger in the middle of the sidewalk on a rainy day.....a reenactment of some old hollywood classic? attitudes like that just put an irresistible smile on my face~ food//***** people did not lie...fergburger came highly recommended and for those that know about Grace C. and my burger challenges...y'all know how picky i am that said, the classic burger is delcious and you can taste the freshness in their ingredients...my favorite element was the bun! it's more like sandwich in terms of crisp exterior and softer middle unlike the doughy buns that you get stateside~ fergburger has made hands down the MOST !%#%& delicious LAMB burger i have ever had~ the patty is the perfect amount of juicy and cooked to perfection~ i dunno what that magic sauce is but damn it's delicious!! chips were fried at the perfect amount of crispness w/o being oily decent selection of refreshments and beers.... so in recap: light bread . juicy patty . fresh ingredients . yummy specialty sauces ....i wanted to ask if they sell those separately and then realized i wouldn't have been able to put that in my luggage anyway =( ~*~ as a carnivore this place is a hellya~ MUST eat especially since it's exclusively in Qtown! yes, i was disappointed i wouldn't be able to eat it throughout nz xP s/o to Sharon C. read more

There's an awful lot of hype about this place. The line stretched out the door and down the the street the first night we were here. We decided to try our luck last night. 15 minute wait to order then another 15 to receive the order. Admittedly, it was indeed a great bhrger! I had the Mr. Big Stuff. She had the Swineburger (Fergiie with bacon). While they looked huge, we were both rather famished after a long day of hiking and managed to finish them! Fries were good too. They were washed down with a nice Speight draft. Would have given 5 stars if they had ample seating for the crowd. read more

It's crazy busy here but the burgers are solid. My husband had the Double Fergburger which was definitely too much food. He is used to tiny burger patties in the States so mistakenly thought he would need to double up. I had the Codfather which was also delicious. We wanted to come back again but the lines were just too long. read more

One of the best collection of burgers in the southern hemisphere. From the Big Al to the Sweet Bambi they are all amazing. I worked across the street so I'd order in and rarely had to deal with the crazy lines. Fries are amazing gotta get an order of those too! read more

Can't say enough about how good these burgers are! It makes me want one now just thinking about it and I'm writing this review 7 days after eating there. Super good! read more

Ordered the fergburger and onion rings. Decent burger at a good price but it was a bit on the cool side, onion rings were a big portion and nice and hot. Not pre salted which was rare for New Zealand. A little overrated though and not really worth wait read more

Im a bit of a burger fanatic, travelled he world tasting the best burgers for recommendation. This is definitely the best burgers in the business. prime beef is succulently cooked, fresh vegetables and buns used to top it off. read more

Great burger, best ever? One thing is for sure, it is as good as you can get in this price range. Well worth the wait. I had the Southern Swine The only thing I would change would be to order it without BBQ Sauce, it over powered everything else. My wife agreed to this and she is BBQ Sauce fiend. read more

It's a great burger. Not much else to say. We were in Queenstown for a couple days and some locals told us that it was pretty famous. Didn't truly understand until we got there. Line was out the door, but despite the line, service was still fast and high quality. No complaints, food is worth it, especially since I traveled half way across the world for it. read more

Fantastic Cajun burger. First time I finished a burger albeit I had to share 2 bites in spirit of niceness that Queenstown is. Awesome staff and great food!! read more

Lives up to the hype! The line wasn't too long when I went and once my order was placed the wait was not long at all. I don't eat red meat but so I was very pleased they offered other "burgers" besides traditional hamburger. My final decision was the Cock Cajun chicken burger and it was delicious! Just the right amount of spice and a cool sauce to top it off. I will definitely return sometime in the future. read more

We got there just in time to beat the rush - it seems there's always a rush. It was raining pretty hard so maybe that slowed some people down just a bit. We ordered and had our delicious burger within about 15 minutes and scored two seats at the bar so we didn't have to run through the rain and eat in our car! The burger was really good! Juicy and cooked perfectly - not over cooked at all. We got a basic cheeseburger to share. We understand why this place is so popular. The staff knows their stuff. It runs like a well oiled machine. read more

This was one of our first stops in Queenstown. Although the line is out the door, you can still miss it (we walked right by). Despite being a small restaurant with limited seating, Ferburger is a Queenstown must. My wife and I got four burgers in all. The burgers are large though, so one should satisfy a normal hunger. We were hangry so we doubled up. My favorite was the Sweet Bambi. Venison is quite a thing in New Zealand. We passed by a few deer farms on a day trip, so you know the meat is fresh. Good venison, especially one a burger is hard to come by so kudos to Fergburger for cooking it right. Honestly though, I think my favorite part of the Fergburger experience was the bun. Fresh, light and fluffy it made the burger. I suggest trying one of the exotic burgers like the Sweet Bambi or the pork belly. The regular Fergburger didn't really blow my socks off. Overall though, a very unique and delicious burger joint! read more

This place was packed with people and lines out the door, I don't think I ended up waiting for more than 30 mins, they seem to move people along pretty fast. I got just the originally burger and fries. It was good but I honestly thought that the fries were better tasting than the burger. It's worth a visit if your are in QT. read more

Good lamb burgers... The lamb in New Zealand is amazing, and Fergburger makes a delicious lamb burger. This place is pretty popular amongst tourists, and you will see a long line. Fries are ok. read more
