Big J's Takeaways, Auckland

Well worth the trip to Mt Wellington, Big J’s is a classic neighbourhood burger joint. Beef makes friends with the likes of cheese, bacon, and mushrooms, and there are a couple of chicken and fish options on the menu too. All reassuringly what you’d expect, until you get to the special of the week. Announced weekly on their Facebook page, the guys at Big J’s clearly put a lot of thought into the creations they unveil, which have included inspired combos like thai beef with crispy noodles, rosemary lamb with kumara chips, and chicken with wild mushroom ragout. If you’re looking for well-made standard options and an exciting weekly wildcard then look no further than Big J’s.


Kylie loved Food Truck Garage Ponsonby

I checked out the new Food Truck Garage in Ponsonby with a serious chicken burger craving and wow did the new menu deliver! Buckwheat-encrusted chicken with out-of-this-world delicious green goddess mayo and tomato relish with dates. The sauce to bun-meat ratio is just right in these delicious burgers. Mr One who was with us loved his kumara fries. I'll be back again for another healthy lunch date very soon.


Kylie loved The Flaming Onion

Another triumph of a burger in Birkenhead. Passionate chef Ravi is creating delicious handmade creations from scratch. I devoured this decadent burger of double Wagyu beef patties with bacon, cheese and homemade chipotle mayo and jalapeño relish, all served on a custom-made rosemary and olive bun. Plus you can see the Sky Tower while you munch. A must-try for all burger lovers.


Kylie loved Burger Geek

Burger Geek has only just opened and already it's so popular that I'm yet to have a chance to personally wrap my lips around one of their stunning burgers. However, many Auckland foodie friends have already recommended this great burger restaurant as THE place to go and get takeaway in the Auckland CBD right now. I've got my eyes on their classic burger - Morty.


Kylie loved Point Wells General Store

My husband loves his burgers and likes to taste test the best local burgers when he's on the road working. He reckons Point Wells General Store serve up some of the best homemade burgers in the whole country and I'm looking forward to heading out of the city soon and north to try these tasty bites. Their fresh fish and chips come highly recommended too! Support these locals, they are awesome Kiwis who deserve your dollars.


Kylie loved The Portland Public House

Keen to wrap your lips around one of the best-value burgers in Auckland? Head to this awesome little Kingsland local between 4-7pm to indulge in one of their delicious burgers. My fave is The Rancher - a totally classic original burger but my friend’s Southern Fried chicken burger known as The Colonal was also equally delectable. I love the fact that The Portland Public House now also have live music seven days a week - one of the only places in Auckland that truly supports live local music. Get amongst!


Kylie loved Tiger Burger

I discovered the beauty that is Tiger Burger after reading about their meat-free patty in The Herald's Viva. The Goguma, as it's known by this unique Korean restaurant in the heart of Grey Lynn, is based on a patty made from shiitake mushrooms and kumara. It's out of this world and a must-try. Book a dinner date here now.


Laura loved Burger Queen

Just love these guys! The prices are amazing, the burgers fresh, huge and delicious.


Scott loved Burger Burger

Do I even need to say it. Burger Burger makes the best Burgers in Auckland by a decent margin. If you want to taste perfection try their pulled pork masterpiece - it’ll change you.


Kylie loved The Burger Bach

We headed to The Burger Bach for a Thursday lunch feast and I couldn't help but try the Lambo burger at owner Ryan's recommendation because it's the burger "the locals love". My lunch date opted for their classic Bachelor burger, a caramel milkshake and fries and we were both blown away by the quality of the food and the generous portion sizes. Adam and Ryan have created an amazing burger bar in Takapuna that is a stone's throw from the beach ('cause where else is best for eating burgers), serves up great food and has a really awesome vibe. I love the fact that you can now "order in" too with their food delivery service provided by UrbanSherpa. Check this place out - it's a gem!
