Ferg's Bar Queenstown Reviews from The Last Year
This was a difficult 3 stars because its definitely a
This was a difficult 3 stars because its definitely a decent spot, but it was way too hyped up for me before I got here. Before I had even arrived in Auckland I had heard the hype around this place, so of course I had to try it. You walk up and the first thing you see is the super long line that almost goes half way down the street. We went all the way to end and waited and waited and waited. Luckily the wait wasnt as long as it could be (roughly 30-45 minutes). I ended up getting the Fergburger, Sweet Bambi, and the hokey pokey milkshake. After I left, i realized that they gave me the completely wrong milkshake so i had to go back. I ended up getting both the hokey pokey and stracciatella since they allowed me to keep the old one. They were both REALLY sweet. Now to the burgers. Both good, but nothing eye opening. The Fergburger was better than the Sweet Bambi because the boysenberry chutney was too sweet. The best part is the meat from the Ferburger as its definitely fresh and different than an American burger. Both had big fat buns which were a little unproportional. I walked away satisfied, but unimpressed. A day later, we decided to go back because my wife really wanted to try the fries. We ended up getting a side of fries, which were a combination of Mcdonalds and In-and-Out. Fries were good, but a little small for the price. We ended up also getting another burger just in case and ended up landing on the best one out of the three, the Bombay Chicken. I get that its not a beef patty, but man were the combinations good and the chicken juicy. I'm really glad i ended up getting that Bombay because it moved me up from 3 stars to 4. Overall, if you're in town, try it, just keep your expectations low and you might walk away pleasantly surprised.
Beautiful
We were waiting for a famous burger and decided to try a drink or three while we waited for the que to go down(it’s MASSIVE) we Went in got served by the manager, what a guy ..what a place… I think this bar would fit nicely in any capital city around the world and not look out of place, a very nice end to our weekend, they do great fries as well
Heard a lot about this place for years and finally got the
Heard a lot about this place for years and finally got the opportunity to stop by. When we arrived the line was down the block but it only took us 10 minutes to make an order. While you wait you can drink a beer( inside or underneath the awning only). You can even get a gelato next door at.... Yup Fergs . There is lik Brb, let me eat this burger. I ordered the Mr. Big Stuff. 3/4 lb big boy. Well it was a good burger. I would not put it in my top 5 but maybe top 10. It was very filling and I appreciated that as I was super hungry. The sesame seed bun was delicious along with the toppings. The burger patties themselves kinda threw me off. I couldn't put my finger on it but it was a bit overcooked. It's hard to judge burgers but if there was a 5 guys around the corner these guys would have serious competition. I am glad that I tried it. I am also glad that the line was very short and I didn't have to wait that long. I would say, give it a try if you're in town, don't wait in a super long line for it though.
Fergburger is a revelation.
I read about this in the New Zealand Guidebook. Then was told about it by the driver. So we made our way over to check the checkbox. The line was out the door, so we had to go up a few stores to get to the back of the line. The stores were: Ferg Gelatto and Ferg Bakery. They literally have that part of town cornered. We ordered: Fergberger, Codfather, Bombay Chicken and Spring Chicken. Every bite was an enlightenment. That memories of all burgers faded, and the one true burger, as it should have been all along was here before you. The Cod was the same way. The way Fergburger can do so many sandwiches so well is a testament to why the crowds are always mobbing this place. I will be eating here tomorrow as well.
Cosy bar
Cute and cosy bar in the heart of Queenstown. We called in for a drink while waiting for our Fergburger which is next door Such a warm and inviting little bar!
Really cool place, great breakfast
Strong recommendation, why not have breakfast at the famous Fergbar … Super quality, tasty food …, The Fergburger, Fergbakery are next door .
Life is too short for bad meals.
The food was terribly bland and lacked any kind of flavor that would satisfy one's hunger. The onion rings were under cooked and again needed some seasoning in the batter. Overall, the meal was edible, but I can't imagine why a queue exists throughout the day. The food could be redeemed if they chose to actually use seasonings. I recommend Montreal steak seasoning, old bay, or even Lawrys. The service was fast and convenient. The ambiance was what you'd expect from a burger joint in the USA, but you won't find subpar burgers such as what is offered at Fergburgers.
Nothing spectacular.
Burgers are ok and slightly above average. Not worth the queues.
Usually a busy place, but when we went, line up was not
Usually a busy place, but when we went, line up was not bad, but had to wait for about 15 minutes to get the order. The burger is okay, to me it tasted like a glorified Burger King burger. It's quite a big burger, but nothing special. Not sure what all the hype is about. There are better burgers elsewhere, I am sure.
I saw a lot of hype surrounding Fergburger before I went to
I saw a lot of hype surrounding Fergburger before I went to New Zealand and was ready for one of the most amazing burgers ever - especially with options like a lamb burger and a venison burger. First things first, if you see a super-long line going to Fergburger, don't sweat it. The line moves and you'll have your order in before you know it. Wait times to get your food after ordering aren't all that egregious, either. Now, as for the food, itself, it's fine. Nothing amazing. It's probably not going to be better than whatever your favorite burger is back at home in a sit-down restaurant, but it will most likely be better than whatever your favorite fast food burger is. That's not something that I would go out of my way for the way you have to for Fergburger, but if that's for you, then give Fergburger a try.
Perfect place for a simple dinner & drinks
I'd been here earlier in the week for a drink and noticed the food on the board which sounded great. We decided to give it a go a few nights later and the food was just beautiful. I would highly recommend going here for a drink and something to eat. We had the beef cheeks and truffle mash along with some dumplings and it was fabulous. We even went back and had the same thing another night. Keep in mind it is a bar, but if your after a simple night, it has good service and a good atmosphere..
Definitely a must eat if you visit Queenstown!! Best place
Definitely a must eat if you visit Queenstown!! Best place to go to at nighttime if you're hungry and nothing else is open. I'd say the all of their burgers are great, you wouldn't make a mistake in choosing anything. Also comes in huge portions, especially the big ale burger.
What a solid spot.
This place has good burgers, good fries, and awesome shakes. What more could you ask for? This burger can go up against any burger from back in America (where burgers are plentiful), and easily hold its own. The portions are good, and you don't feel ripped off. There's a lot of hype around this place that might make you stray to some of the more unique items on this menu, but I'd suggest sticking with the burger. You cannot go wrong. Friendly staff and a few tables inside, and if you are lucky enough to get a seat, the vibe in there is great!
Maybe it was an off-day because my experience was average
Maybe it was an off-day because my experience was average at best (and disappointing considering the hype). Fergburger first caught my eye after I noticed the insanely long line out the door, and we finally had a chance to visit after hiking Ben Lomond (figured it would be a great reward). We went at around 2-3pm, which meant virtually no line. I ordered the regular Fergburger and onion rings. The burger was okay - it's certainly enormous and great value for the price, but I thought the flavors were okay (nothing interesting). The patty was also a little dry. The onion rings were good, but some of the onions were quite undercooked. My friend ordered the Codfather which was not fully cooked and had to be thrown out. Service is pretty efficient considering how busy it gets. You walk up to the counter, order, and wait for your number to appear on the screen. There are some seats indoors/outdoors, but not nearly enough to seat all patrons (especially when it gets really crowded). So I would keep an eye out for open seats or plan to take your food elsewhere. Overall, glad I gave it a try, but not worth the hype for me.
I've had Fergburger every day staying in Queenstown.
MUST TRY IN TOWN!! This place is so popular! There's lines nonstop and lines be very very very long. They're open early and goes on til late. I recommend The Fergburger or the Fergburger Deluxe. I haven't had the others but these 2 I've had and they were so delicious! The bun, patty....everything was combined to perfection and cooked perfectly. The fries were good too! Not too salty. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Onion Rings were good too. Not salty. Crispy outer layer and real ring onions cooked on the inside. I don't recommend the sides The Salt and Pepper Squid. It wasn't good. Didn't have any flavor. There is 1 restroom inside. Limited indoor seating. Limited outdoor seating. Overall, try this place out.
We finally tried Fergburger on our way out of Queenstown,
We finally tried Fergburger on our way out of Queenstown, reason being that we got there at 8:30am and there was not a line yet. Burgers at 8:30am? Sure why not. This is supposed to be the best burger around and to be honest it was pretty great. I got the classic Fergburger with cheese. The patty was done nicely, the bun was soft and fresh and I like the simplicity of the toppings and sauce. It was huge and I ate the whole thing! We were able to find 4 seats inside which is probably not possible any later in the day so that was great and the inside was nice and clean. There's a few tables and benches outside too that were open during that time of day. If you're in Queenstown and have the chance, get a Fergburger, it's worth the hype!
If in Queenstown you need to give this cosy venue a shout and thank me when you are done!
Awesome venue, great atmosphere, unpeeled service and delicious drinks! You need to visit this venue with great atmosphere and awesome staff!
Great bar Great atmosphere
Massive bar selection Cocktails to die for Great food choice Staff couldn’t have been more pleasant & helpful Brilliant atmosphere
Famous restaurant but the line moved quickly and our food
Famous restaurant but the line moved quickly and our food was ready in a few minutes to take back to our hotel. We ordered Ferg burgers with cheese, onion rings, fries, and ginger beer. They also gave me extra tomato sauce (ketchup) and aioli (mayonnaise). Yummy!
Fantastic bar which offers so much more. Great staff
Sooooo so good for food and drinks. Fantastic food and a Singapore sling to remember. Try the salad, dumplings and venison.
I ate here with my son and daughter.
All three of us are figuring what they hype is about. We all thought it was probably one of the worst burgers we had. I'm from the United States and there is no way this place would survive there. We all had variations of the beef Fergburger. We didn't feel the meat was seasoned at all..just flavorless ground meat. They had a great selection of other burgers with different meats. Maybe the other burgers are the one we should have gotten. Also, Im not sure what to think of the bun...it didn't taste like anything. However, the fries were decent. On the positive side, the staff was really friendly. Luckily the line was short and we got our food in about 40 minutes from the time we lined up. Yelpers are pretty good at rating restaurants, but the rating did not live up to the food. Two star seems harsh, but it really was not a good burger.
Great cocktails
Unique cocktails, great vibe, local spirits featured, attentive and friendly staff. We didn’t try the food but had a fergburger from next door. Highly recommend for a great night out!
The burgers here are okay, definitely not worth the 2hour
The burgers here are okay, definitely not worth the 2hour wait in line. They did have a lot of meat in the burger which I liked but other than that it was mid. The service is great though they gave out umbrellas on a rainy day! The environment is also clean and nice!
Get a burger instead
I can now see why people in the know order a fergburger, go back and wait with a beer and take the burger back into the bar. We had high expectations after eating at the other Ferg establishments, but we didnt even finish our beers and left after we had eaten, and after spending over $100, dissatisfied and still hungry. Potato scratchings were just soft unseasoned potato skin, dumplings were like from the supermarket, roti that was a share meal was really only for one and the croquettes had not hint of prosciutto and were not crispy. Pints of a common beer were average as well, like the keg needed to be changed.
Fergburger Our first night in Queenstown, New Zealand,
Fergburger Our first night in Queenstown, New Zealand, settled into our airbnb, walked down to the town and all six of us are hungry and ready to eat after a full day of traveling. Was not able to receive Yelp so we Googled popular eats and the majority wanted pizza. As we were walking to the pizza restaurant we walked by Fergburger and there were alot of people and it was after 9pm, we find the pizza restaurant and they closed earlier than the posted time, their loss because we were hungry. As all 6 of us were deciding where to eat, I mentioned Fergburger since we knew it was open and there were alot of people there, plus we knew how to get there. We waited in line, ordered our burgers and when our number was called, we went to pick up the order, but had to sit at 3 different tables since it was so busy. The burgers did not disappoint, large delicious burger hit the spot. In fact as we were waiting for our order, we had to get tables as people were leaving, but a few locals were telling us in the day time the line stretches out a block or sometimes 2 blocks, others were saying that they fly in from the North New Zealand Island just to eat at the restaurant. Another group said the restaurant is world renown. Fergburger Delux prime NZ beef, lettuce, tomato, red onion and tomatoes relish. Good size burger patty, juicy and delicious. When in Queenstown, this is a must

For the veggie burger, Ferg is a solid option but not an outstanding one. Full marks for creativity with the tofu burger, but the flavors fell a little flat. Luckily, for us, the line and wait time were under a half hour in total, but I wouldn't queue here for a long time to get food. I see lots of people taking out to the lake because there isn't much seating out front. Definitely happy I tried this place, but I wouldn't put it on a must do list for vegetarian!
Great Music, Good drink and food options
Customer service is top notch, Loved the breakfast menu and Chef has happy to cater for Allergies. Must visit this place
Excellent food, service and location!!
Had trouble finding a Cafe open early in Queenstown for breakfast and stumbled across Ferg Cafe, couldn't miss it being next to the Ferg Burger place with 300 people standing out the front. We found the Cafe really good. The food was excellent, the staff super helpful, the decor is spectacular right down to the bathrooms. We'd highly recommend this place and will go again next trip to Queenstown.
The Best Breakfast Benny
Best Breakfast and Cocktails in Queenstown. We had two breakfasts at Ferg Bar and it was excellent on both occasions. The Ferg burger and bakery had queues out the door so we thought to try the bar which was quiet and honestly this is QT's best kept secret! The guys behind the bar are excellent at cocktails and coffee and the chef really know how to make an exceptional Eggs benny on a crusty croissant. Would definitely return for that Benny!
Best Bar
Family visit for late lunch, oysters, Bloody Mary, toasted cheese sandwich one day then we had to go back. Winter salad and croquettes and mulled wine. Excellent cocktails, great staff and good service, recognised us the next day and acknowledged us as we went in. That’s nice to see, again sit at the bar and talk or grab a high table down the side. Good place to grab a treat but very popular

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
