Our last night here and we finally got up the courage to endure the wait for a Fergburger. For those not in the know, this is a Queenstown institution.
The story is Ed Sheeran tweeted / insta-faced about it and also the NY times wrote a positive article. So now there is a massive instagram / “influencer” feedback loop (and now I’ve posted about it: I’m probably part of the problem… sigh).
So… 25 minute wait to order the burger, 20 minute wait for it to be made. Dealing with endless dickheads trying to push in line or getting to the counter and not knowing what they want after waiting in line all that time (#FML) . Add in the issue with finding parking in Queenstown….
I had the Lamb and Mint Burger. Sharon had the Venison. I think the Venison was slightly better than the lamb one.
Is it a good burger ? Yes!, it’s a good burger, and a decent sized one. Is it the best burger I’ve ever had ? Nope: not even in the same ball park. That honour goes to the Lamb Jalfrezi burger I had in London from these guys
I suspect Devil Burger just around the corner is provably just as good, with no wait times. Will I come here again : Yes, will be here again in November and will try a different one.
It's all about the coffee
