4.6 / 5.0(23,275 reviews)

If you're in Queenstown, Fergburger is a must. It shows up on every “best places to eat” list, and it really does live up to the hype. Even if you see a crowd outside, don't let that discourage you — the staff are friendly and they turn over orders fast. We visited on a Friday afternoon, and we only waited about 5–10 minutes to order. However, we have heard that waits can be much longer (up to an hour) during weekends or peak dining times. Seating inside is limited (a few barstools and small tables), so many people take their food to-go, but we were able to grab seats at the counter. I ordered the Fergburger with double meat (two patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, garlic aioli) for $21.50 NZD. My wife ordered the Southern Swine (beef patty, bacon, same toppings plus avocado) for $18.90 NZD, onion rings ($9.90 NZD) and a hokey pokey milkshake (vanilla with honeycomb toffee for $12.20 NZD). The burgers are large, the buns are toasted and hold everything together, and the patties were juicy and flavorful. The onion rings were crispy, and the milkshake was rich and creamy. There’s a tv monitor inside showing when orders are ready, and there’s also a restroom available. Great flavor, big portions, and fast service. Definitely worth stopping by when you’re in Queenstown. This place deserves the hype! Definitely one of the best burgers I've had. I wish I could try all the burgers because the Sweet Bambi and Ferg Delux were amazing. I was really impressed with the speed given how many customers were waiting. People move quickly so even though seating might not be available there may be soon. I also ordered the onion rings, they were nice but the sauce carried wow We were there late Sep. It was Super long queue as expected, slowly but surely. Burgers are huge and surprisingly very juicy. I really like it. Generous on mayonnaise and sauces. We packed and went to lake so we can enjoy a view with these yummy burgers. Highly recommended. Is a Must try if you are at Queenstown!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fergburger is next-level good! The moment I took my first bite, I was blown away — juicy, flavour-packed beef, soft yet sturdy buns that don’t fall apart, fresh crunchy lettuce, perfectly melted cheese, and sauces that hit all the right notes. Every bite feels like a little firework for your taste buds. The portions are huge, but the price is surprisingly reasonable. For this quality and size, you’d easily pay double elsewhere. Here, you get a burger that’s both premium and affordable — absolute win. Yes, there’s a line, but it moves quickly. And honestly, the second you get your burger, you forget you even waited. I told myself I’d eat slowly… but nope, I couldn’t stop. By the time I was halfway through, I was already planning what I’d order next time. If you’re in Queenstown, skipping Fergburger is basically a crime. My only regret? Not jumping straight back in line for another one right after I finished.

Had a good experience at the Fergburger. The burger was fresh and very satisfying. The staff was polite and friendly. Service was quick considering the numbers of peoples lined up, during busy period like lunch time, expect at least 30 from lining up until food was provided. It a shame that the promises is not able to accommodate a sit down lunch experience but it a smart business moves to move customer along quickly.
