Good burgers - Edit
The food was good, especially the freshly baked buns, but I had better burgers in NZ. I think fergburger is a little overrated. We were lucky that the queue was so short, I wouldn’t have waited for an hour.

Not worth trying - Edit
I had tofu burger and chips. The food is very average. Nothing exceptional.
Read moreIt's just a fast food place. Nothing tastes fresh.
Tofu was oily and not tasted good with thick coating coming off as if it was old.
Tomatoes tasted old.
Cons: Not fresh, Average food, It's not worth lining up in a queue.

Great chips, burger only ok - Edit
Wouldn't go and wait in line again. Had the tofu burger over 10 years ago and loved it. Today it was just average, I think my standards are higher now :D

Surprised it met the hype! - Edit
Was shocked I enjoyed this burger as much as I did. Went when the line wasn’t long and would recommend that. I wouldn’t recommend if the line is down the block but was really good option.

Huge wait but worth it - Edit
Low in terms of veggie options tbh, but what we did have was amazing! One falafel burger and a tofu burger. When my husband dragged me here and I checked the menu, I wasn't super impressed, but the food really made up for it!
Read moreHuge wait, but we did go on New Year's Eve which was probably the issue! Although they were giving out free cookie pieces in the queue, which was a nice touch. Recommend, but check the queue before if you can!
Pros: Amazing burgers
Cons: Limited options

Worth it - Edit
Just go get a burger here like everyone else OK? It's busy for a reason. 2x veg burgers (one tofu, one falafel), both clearly labelled as able to be made vegan and staff clued up when asked to make them so. Massive hefty portions for a decent price, very tasty toothsome burgers, and a fun experience queuing up with what feels like every other tourist in QT!
Read morePros: Very tasty burgers , Huge portions, Good value for money
Cons: Can get v busy at peak times/season

Dry and tasteless - Edit
The vegan burgers are just the veggie ones with all the sauces removed. Over hyped and one of the worst burgers I've had (I've tried both of the vegan options)

Choice of Tofu or falafel - Edit
I was a bit underwhelmed at the burger options, tofu or falafel (unfortunately I'm not a falafel fan) I was hoping they had a vegan faux meat burger like a beyond or something but I was pleasantly suprised with the tofu burger.
Read moreThe burger is hugee, and fully loaded, tofu is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, flavours are great together. We got chips too but couldn't eat them all.
I probably wouldn't line up for a long time but if the line is short its worth a try.
Pros: Big servings
Cons: Menu - unfriendly vegan terms (e.g. bambi burg), Stupidly busy

Falafel burger was mid - Edit
Falafel burger was average, it seems from the reviews that the tofu burger is better

Delicious - Edit
Their burgers are very good, simple yet delicious. Only downside is that it can get very busy but otherwise it's still worth the try.

Tofu satay burger - Edit
I ordered the tofu satay burger which, as the first non-dehydrated meal after a three day hike, was delicious. The batter is crunchy with the tofu interior smooth, making for a nice texture. Highly recommend.
Read morePros: Good portion size, Tasty
Cons: Only two vegan options

Delicious & treat allergies seriously - Edit
Long queues but the taste and quality were definitely worth it!
Read moreThe chips were Devine.
I have a ginger allergy which made the tofu burger a no go for me but the staff went to the next level to check this for me
Pros: Delicious
Cons: Queues , Only 2 options that can be vegan

Time your visit well! - Edit
These guys can do some tasty vegan options. The tofu satay is good, and the vegetarian ones can be veganised.
Read moreIf you're a little earlier than the 'usual' meal time the wait isn't as bad, but the wait time to order, and get the order, is just down to a bit of luck on the day really.
Pros: Tasty options, albeit a bit pricey, Great service
Cons: They need more vegan options :), Removing item(s) but paying the same :/

Holier than Thou - Edit
Tofu burger is great - be sure to ask for it to be vegan: staff are very aware of what that means
Read morePros: Easy vegan options, Tempura tofu not oily as you might expect, Support vegan options (every bit helps)
Cons: Probably 99.9% of their business is not vegan…

very good service - Edit
This place is always super busy so be prepared to wait. I had the vegan falafel burger. Later realised I was given the other vegan option on the menu (which is tofu / satay). I went back and the service was fantastic in sorting this out. I was just relieved I was not given a non-vegan burger by accident! Advise to take the burger round the corner and eat it lakeside.

Awesome Burgers! - Edit
I tried both vegan burgers; one with tempura tofu and the other falafel. Both were super delicious. Ferg definitely know what they’re doing when it comes to making burgers. Just remember to ask for the veggie burgers to be vegan.

There are two burgers that can be made vegan: one with tofu and one with falafels. I tried the falafel one, and I really liked it.

The Best Vegan Burger! - Edit
I ordered the tofu burger and I was not disappointed! It was so fresh with coriander and salad! The tofu was deep fried, adding the extra crunch! Huge potions so definitely only need to share fries!

Not the best. - Edit
Came highly recommend but I wasn't impressed. The vegan burger was called 'holier than thou' I didn't appreciate that and also found the staff to be rude.
Read moreCons: Rude staff, Not friendly to vegans, Just another burger

Why no vegan meat? - Edit
Had to try Fergburger because of its legendary status. The tofu burger was pretty good but tbh not sure what all the fuss is about.
Read moreVeggie burgers are such a ubiquitous vegan option on NZ menus that it’s hard to be impressed. Especially when no one is offering something like a Beyond burger option. Was expecting more from such a cult institution.
Pros: Tasty tofu burger, Quick grab and go option
Cons: Not many seating options, Crowded by people eating dead animals

Two vegan burgers - Edit
Tried both vegan options and they were both delicious! Enjoyed the falafel one slightly more but maybe because it had avo in it. Remember to tell them to veganise it so they change the sauce and add chutney. Luckily we only had to wait 10-15 mins for our food.
