Great huge delicious burgers, but limited space to seat and long lines depending on days.

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

If you're in Queenstown, this is the place to be!!! Don't be thrown off by the wait, be patient and join the queue! The burgers are flavoursome, gigantic and mouth-watering - up there with one of the best burgers I've ever had!!! 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

See all

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

Great breakfast burgers- we ordered the Dawn Horn - which was ready within 10 minutes despite the person in front of me ordering 12 burgers! We arrived a few minutes before 8am, when the front doors were open, staff were working behind the counter, and speaking to people on the other side of the counter, and the shop looked open for business. When we entered the shop a staff member told us "we're not open yet, as you can see I am still cleaning". Point number one - we did not see you cleaning. Point number two - not a good start. The burgers were yummy - and deserve four stars. The service from two staff was great - friendly and welcoming - also four stars. Our first contact with one person representing the business - two stars - could have been better. If you aren't open, but need to have your front doors open, be polite when you speak to future customers. Otherwise, leave your doors closed until you are ready to take orders. read more

Ordered the Ferburger deluxe and onion rings. The burger was without a doubt the BEST I've ever had. The onion rings were nicely fried and the mayo was excellent. read more

I'll admit, until just a few weeks before I visited Queenstown, I had never heard of Fergburger. But in that short space of time, I had it recommended to me on several occasions by a wide variety of people. And given that I know how much my boyfriend likes a good burger and that I quite like them myself, on occasion I quickly decided it had to go on the must-do list for our brief trip to New Zealand. And very glad I am, too. We wandered into Queenstown around 7pm, shortly after arriving in our camper, and were quite pleased to see that the line wasn't too long. I have to admit that I'd already studied the menu and decided which burger I wanted the Sweet Bambi, which is venison with a thai plum chutney and my boyfriend had pre-selected the Tropical Swine beef with bacon and pineapple. We stuck to our guns and ordered as planned, then managed to grab seats at the counter before our burgers turned up. My first impression was wow, they're huge. My second was mmm, that tastes good. Now I don't have a huge appetite, and usually would have struggled to finish a burger and half a portion of chips. But this one was so tasty that it quickly disappeared. The plum chutney was delicious, the venison was perfectly cooked, the chips were nice and potatoey and the dipping sauces (aioli and barbecue) were fantastic. My boyfriend enjoyed his too, and it didn't take us all that long to polish them off. As we were leaving, feeling sated and happy, we noticed the fergbakery next door and vowed to visit the next day. Which we did. And here I have to admit that I enjoyed my fergbakery venison pie more than I had enjoyed the burger. In fact, I think it was the best pie I've ever had. The venison was cooked to perfection, the sauce was rich and full of flavour and the pastry was flaky and delicious. So I would definitely recommend visiting both burger bar and bakery, if you have time! read more

January 2013: not sure how we found it, but I'm so glad we did. not sure if the burger or the bun was better, but together it was an amazing experience! read more

Awesome spot!!! Best gluten free bun ANYWHERE!!!! Seriously. Tasted like a regular bun, didn't fall apart, and regular sized.

Really good burgers. I wish that fries were included with the cost of the burger. Aoli dipping sauce is delicious!

Vanilla flan!!! I bought one everyday that I was here visiting. It definitely has a light and fluffy taste to it. I say skip the ferg burger and jump on over to dessert :) read more

Fergburger - Vanilla flan. Yumm!!! - Burgers Near Me - Queenstown, OTA

Definitely some amazing burgers highlighted by even more amazing burger names and some sensational shakes, but honestly, I think this place is just slightly overrated. Especially in high season, where the wait can easily be upwards of a half hour, it's just not quite THAT good. read more

So.... good! Walk up, order, wait, they hand you burgers and go eat by the lake! :) just watch out for ducks, they know when a fergburger is nearby!!! Incredible burger! I personally suggest the Sweet Bambi! read more

Came here with my parents and husband last year after hiking the Milford track. It was amazing, but some of that may have been 4 days of rehydrated food before that. The burgers were huge. I got a veggie burger (don't remember which one now) and it was excellent. Worth trying a couple times because of the sheer number of options (including two or three veggie options as far as I can remember). read more

Let me first say that everyone raved about Ferburger, so my expectations were pretty high. Sad to say, I was disappointed. The service was great; but the burger meat was fairly tasteless, the bun was hard, and overall it was just fair at best. I had the original, so perhaps I need to try a different one next time. read more

Ate the "Southern swine" burger : it was great one. I would suggest to anyone who have tried the classic burger already.

AMAZING! This was our spot my 3 days in Queenstown. We are the breakfast burgers, which were unbelievable, and the specialty burgers. We also had the cinnamon hot cider while we were waiting. The wait is SO worth it!! read more

My husband and I went there last December. I don't usually eat a lot of burgers but this was definitely the best burgers I have ever had. The line was always long doesn't matter what time of the day you pass by there. But the wait is totally worth it. We ordered the Tropical Swine and Southern Swine burgers and they were so yummy! The meat was thick and juicy and their sauces were just amazing. They were so great that we went back there the 2nd time to try more different burgers. read more

Delicious! It was sooo good we went back a 2nd time. We got the standard Fergburger - beef hamburger patty was juicy and tasty.

Tried Fergburger tonight for dinner based on the yelp rating. Plan to wait 15-20 minutes for your food and to eat it elsewhere, the ordering process is efficient; however, it's a popular tourist place leading to the lines. There is very limited seating so you'll most likely have to go elsewhere. Drink: very limited alcohol selection (only 1 beer on a tap?). I tried the "baileys milkshake" and it was okay. Didn't have a lot of flavor quite frankly so I would pass on ordering it. Food: I tried the "morning glory" with hash browns and it was decent. The bun was a little hard and there was heavy seasoning but it wasn't bad - just okay. The portions are definitely huge and the sides are all of a shareable portion. Overall, the food was decent but nothing to write home about. read more

Long lines but quick/ friendly service and tasty burgers makes up for the wait! I had a fergburger w cheese (cheddar) and Mr. had the cockadoodle oink which were both delicious and HUGE!! Chips, sauces, onion rings and aioli were all super tasty but we ordered way too much for two as the servings are big. Very popular spot and we can see why! read more

The wait for the burgers was long; however, the burgers were 100% worth it!!!! The Holier than Thou, Tropical Swine, and classic Fergburger were all amazinggggg! The patties were all flavorful and juicy as hell. The prices are very reasonable in comparison to the proportions. Only downside were the fries that were somewhat soggier than I expected. You HAVE TO GO HERE when in Queenstown read more

Good burger for NZ, but not by US standards. The patties are thin but the buns are huge, so I'd recommend ordering a double patty and splitting it with someone. read more

I think everyone who goes to Queenstown needs to have a burger here!! I wasn't really keen on going here because I thought I would be disappointed after all the hype and long queues I've seen!! But, I was not disappointed!! I only wish that I visited fergburger earlier in my trip, rather than an hour before I left!! read more

As an American, I have high standards when it comes to my burgers and this place is worth the hype! I barely ate anything all day to save safe to go crazy at Fergburger. It was well worth it. First off, the burgers here are an impressive size, which is great for the starved adventurers that venture into Queenstown. I also have to give them props for creativity. They have burgers with lamb, beef, chicken, pork belly.. it's a feast for the eyes! Also they have really, really good fries! If you're in Queenstown, make this one of your stops! read more

We heard so much about Fergburger, we had to try it. Admittedly it's on the pricy side of burgers but their choices were so unique. We had the Bambi, venison with Thai plum chutney and a side of fries. It was epic and worth the long line! read more

Local burger place with unique menu and always busy with queue. Portions are large and bread is good. Bombay Chicken and Little Lamby had better flavors among the four that we ordered. Limited tables so it is best to do a take out. read more

I'm so conflicted about Fergburger. My wife and I were in Queenstown on vacation and had to give it a try at least once during our stay. We got a bit lucky and I managed to get in line at a time when the wait wasn't bad at all. I ordered within 15 minutes and then had another 15 minute wait for our food. Most of the time we walked by the line was insane and people were probably waiting closer to an hour. They do a pretty good job managing the crowds. As others have said you aren't going to eat inside as the seating is extremely limited so we took our food down to the lake to eat in a more relaxed setting. The burgers were huge. They were well cooked and obviously fresh. The taste was a different story. They just didn't seem that amazing to us. I'm not going to say they were bad but they just didn't live up to the hype. I was expecting to have my taste buds wowed by this legendary burger and instead I was like "that's it?". Certainly eating here is a great value as food in Queenstown can be very expensive. Also, we were told you could call your order in ahead to avoid the lines but no one ever answered the phone. We talked to some other people who tried the same thing and no one had ever managed to call in an order. In closing, all I can give is 3 stars for it. It didn't live up to the hype and the wait isn't really worth it. I'm a bit sad I can't rate it higher. read more

Delicious! They are all about fresh and quality ingredients! They even make their own buns!!! If you can ever go when the line is short I would definitely stop in. read more

Completely overhyped. Had the Fergberger. Bun was tough, sticks to teeth, doesnt taste fresh. The meat is nothing special, thin slice. Ordered with cheese but could hardly taste it as the bun was just so dominating every bite. Would not come back. read more

Ferg Burger's consistent 10 minute line is well worth the wait. The burgers are large and juicy, but lack a special touch and uniqueness that would warrant 5 stars. The Mr Big Stuff was packed with beef and bun but could have used more flavour from sauces and vegetables. Overall, well worth the 25 minute standard waiting time. A must-do in Queenstown read more

This place had very good desserts. Right next to fergberger, but not nearly as busy, but still good.

Best. Burger. Ever. In n out is my "go to" but after we visited Fergburger I had to admit that this burger was on another level. Big burger, tasty bun, and the beef tasted so fresh. Maybe just seeing all the cows everywhere made me think the beef was really well taken care of. My wife and I stayed in Queenstown 4 nights and ate Fergburger 3 of those nights. It lived up to the hype for sure! In n out still wins in fries though! read more

Meh.* *I'm a spoiled burger eater. I thought the meat was under-seasoned and the bun overwhelmed the experience. read more

Huge queue which moved very quickly, very nice staff, delicious burger, very decent fries. Very small.chance youll get a table so be prepared to eat outdoors. Very reasonably priced, ill defo be back. read more

Furgburger was amazing there was a line at the door but it didn't matter because it went really fast the burgers were great it was in the senter of town just please go there read more

Awesome atmosphere... Line made it feel like a must have.. But after trying the burger.. It was a bit of a let down. If you're from the States, the beef doesn't compare. Maybe it's a preference.. But I'd bet not. Staff was really friendly and really seemed to enjoy their work! read more
