Reviews of BurgerFuel Ponsonby

S.

The store is well presented but could be cleaner. This place is usually open late nights which helps given the location and bars, clubs around. The burgers are good and reasonably priced in my opinion. Staff members are friendly and customer service is good. Wait time could improve.

P.

My first Bacon Barbeque Roadster for ages. It was almost a religious experience. Fantastic burger, friendly staff and the birthday special was the cherry on top.

D.

Made an effort to visit the Ponsonby store, set in the middle of one of Auckland's busiest and most energetic strips traversing Ponsonby. The burgers were fantastic. The patties were wholesome, gleaming with flavour from the very first bite til the last. The aioli sauce is just heavenly, as always. Tried the Burger Fuel special - thickshake, which wasn't too shabby at all. However felt the service was rather indifferent and aloof. Ordered online for pickup, and despite having to wait an extra 10 minutes for the food to be ready, there didn't seem like any sincere acknowledgement to me as a basic customer, much less the late delivery of the food. Overall Burger Fuel is one of those higher-end burger establishments that's very much "Kiwi". You can tell its founded and run by a bunch of born-and-bred New Zealanders, which definitely is a big plus to me, as you know it's not some migrant labour being exploited to gain residency or some sort. The burgers are definitely worth the premium you pay for, however I've found the service to be sketchy and inconsistent across the many stores I've been to throughout Auckland. I'd probably visit again when I have the chance, just based on the fact you feel a sense of grassroots Kiwi culture associated with the business. However don't have your hopes up for any kind of personal service, unless you belong in their desired demographic.

D.

Burger fuel is awesome. Chunky burgers, kumara fries. Not a fan of the new doofer, I prefer the OG.

J.

Used to live here a while ago and always came here. Chefs kiss today was perfect will be coming here again

M.

Great burgers as always but the place itself is pretty nice and inviting with great music playing. One of my favourite go-to's when I just want a good burger in the area

H.

Great variety burgers. Delicious meaty burgers with tonnes of filling. Highly recommended if your looking for a high quality burger.

C.

Had the v8 vegan burger. Let me tell you it was delicious! I don't know what the party is made from but it was great! Super messy and large. Cost $13

L.

No one like Burger Fuel: my burger 100% free on my b'day! You guys are simply the best 🤟 Cheers

M.

Food is ready quickly in level 3 :) happily recommend

A.

Really yummy burgers, and quite fast, even on Friday night. Ask for no salt on the fries though. Too much salt for my taste.

B.

Late online order, 15min before closing. Burger Fuel were real busy @ 11.45 on Thursday night but my order was ready on time. All 3 eaters remarked on how good the food was. The Soy Gingerbread Shake was exceptional, put that on the full-time menu please!

J.

Great meal! Very friendly staff, my server Harry was exceptionally great and made the dining experience just that much better. BurgerFuel continues to be an outstanding fast food establishment.

C.

Good food served fast My only concern wasn't my meal but the person who ordered ahead of me. Their chicken /fish (couldn't tell by looking) was raw in the middle. They were promptly replaced with a new one for free. Double check what you bite into :)

H.

Good food. Quick service. Well maintained space.

E.

Always good. But the speed of service was excellent

J.

The fantastic fries... boisterous burgers... and succulent staff (Jackson Loomb). sitting here eating my cn cheese alone on Boxing Day I couldn’t be happier. A special shoutout too the super swell gal Lucy Pitches for making my epic meal. Thank you burger-fuel-ponsonby for my fabulous feed ☺️🎄 #livepost

S.

Really good burger options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. The burgers are huge but they also have "mini" burger options which really aren't that small. Fries and shakes were amazing too. $15-20 for a meal. It took my food 20 Minutes to come out but they gave me free French fries to make up for it- much appreciated!

g.

Excellent burger's!.Chips made my laughing gears happy. The best. They use paper/ cardboard not plastic. Good on you. Others could take a page from your book. Well done team, always aim high.

R.

Much to my dismay, Burger Fuel has gone downhill over the years. I really want to like Burger Fuel, because I used to absolutely love their burgers, but the continuous decline of their ingredient quality and preparation standards keeps me from being as happy as I once was. I keep going back, hoping to have that experience that I did years ago, but it just keeps getting worse. The avocado is a funny "avo-like" sauce now, the patties have gotten thinner, and the standards seem to have dropped. What used to be a constantly busy place with a cult following is now just another somewhat successful burger place. Shame... I really do want to love it. Bring back the burger fuel of 8 years ago and in there in a heartbeat. Otherwise it's hardly different from any of the other mediocre burger joints in Auckland.

E.

Efficient and nice service always with a smile. Sometimes very busy. But very good burgers as always.

J.

I waited over 20 minutes to get one burger. Which when it finally came was cold?😲 not only that but several customers came after me and left with their meals before me. The person serving me was very polite and friendly though. So the fours stars are for him.

P.

Burger Fuel vege burgers are so tasty that I order them even though I am not a vegetarian. Combustion Tofu is silky and crisp, with an addictive peanutty sauce. V8 Vegan has this delicious grated beetroot thing going on. Service is great too. Visit this place almost every second week, great service and atmosphere. My favourite is the Bacon Backfire chicken burger. As burger joints go, this place is not to be missed.

T.

Every time I'm near this store I have to stop in for a burger. They make the best damn burgers I've had. The service is one of my favorite parts too, the staff are genuinely cool people. and that makes a big difference for me. A+++!!

D.

Great burgers and very friendly staff! 5 star service and was extremely happy to receive free ice cream samples with our meals to try the new flavor! Nice touch! Will be back.

s.

The food was very good. But the way it was packet and given was very bad. The burger to go was just put in the takeaway bag without anything wrapping it(don't know if that's the way it's done) with all the juices and sauce dripping in the bag.

M.

Amazing staff- young girl with dark bob was very friendly and kind.

M.

In love!!! Best food ever!!! So happy they have gluten free burger buns and kumara chips. Yes it may be a little pricy but if you want a good feed and value for money! Go!

A.

Simply the best. Burgerfuel is a fantastic chain, and Ponsonby is the pinnacle of burger excellence. Cant recommend enough!

A.

Went late saturday night store was so busy not enough staff pretty long wait. Restaraunt was very untidy. But the burgers and Kumera fries were still top notch.

J.

I rate every BurgerFuel 5 stars. Bacon Backfire is a banger, as are most of their burgers. Spud Fries!

R.

Service is never great and burgers seem to be hard to make here. Tasty though and good when they don't have more than a few customers

V.

First time customer, very much impressed by their burger quality, nice and juicy. Sweet potato fries were well seasoned, I'll be back to try out the vegan option.

Y.

I can't resist the double American Muscle burger. It brings out the Homer Simpson in me... Yum mmmm mmmm mm mmmm!

T.

Amazing service! Really patients and quick! Love that they have vegan and vegetarian options! Nice place for a fast meal !

V.

Love Burger Fuel any time of the day but I wouldn't come to this place on a weekend evening/night. The place is overflowing with drunks and as a result the place gets trashed and effectively becomes a pig sty. However, I can imagine the restaurant seeing better days during the rest of the week and is most probably a welcome reprieve for the staff who continued working non-chalantly despite the mayhem and debauchery surrounding them. And for the guy barking out order numbers, surely management can invest in a loudspeaker or a megaphone to save the poor guy's vocal cords.

F.

Best burger I have had in a while.Will definitely be back for more yumminess. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

j.

Food was HOT . They did however forget to put onion in the bbq roadster.but when asked about whether or not onion was ment to be in they immediately took the burger back and remade and came out fresh and hot . Will be going back again

N.

Ponsonby staple! Amazing burgers and awesome service. Great experience... changed my order and they accidently bought out 2 burgers when I had only paid for 1. The awesome staff gave me the second one on the house! Love it! :)

H.

Burgers that will make America great again!!

B.

Drive past 3 others to get to this branch, best service, they take care to make vegan burgers with love and always put together nicely. Great work!

K.

Had a great burger here for dinner. Especially the Kumara chips with mayonnaise sauce was such an awesome collaboration. Would like to come back again!

K.

Nice set up,friendly and helpful staff but they ran out of fork and spoon -so could not order the low carb options.

R.

Good range of burgers in the style of big fresh ground beef w fresh lettuce etc tasty and filling. Smaller version available for the less ravenous.

B.

Amazing staff and unbelievable food. Definitely the greatest burger joint in Town...the guy Shubnav is exceptional to deal with - ask for him every time he goes the extra mile!!

A.

Ok for Work days, don't even think of going on weekends if you're sober! Not the fault of Management but the drunk customers make it a gross, dirty and unhygienic place to dine in.

T.

The place is nice, not too big but not crowded too. The service is excellent, well explained and people are nice. I tried the main option of the menu, I think the name was "The American" and it tasted amazing.

D.

Had to ask staff to wipe the table .. but food always awesome

N.

For all you gluten free people out there. Burger fuel does the best gluten free buns ever. Can't get a burger anywhere else.

E.

the service was really good, and food came out quickly. It’s just that the food was totally tasteless, even the milkshakes. it’s not the fault of the people working here, it’s the ingredients they were given to use

A.

Great food. Always a delight seeing the great crew and enjoying myself as we laugh about how we will grow old together. Sense of belonging sort of like the show 'cheers'.

V.

The best freaking burger I have ever had. So juicy and tasty.

D.

Fish burger was terrible

R.

These burgers are never not good! Just a little irritating that they replaced the V-Dub Vege burger with a vegan-only option... Not every vegetarian prefers vegan stuff!

i.

Big burger fan - these are decent burgers but as the chain has gotten bigger a bit of the feel has gone out of the place. Reliable tasty big burgers though.

S.

The best burgers in town !! Ordered a V twin vege over the weekend. Awsome service and the best Vege burger i have had in NZ.

P.

Great burgers and the fries are good too.

S.

Made an online order, ready on time, burgers were tasty and the Kumara fries were ok. Other than that we were happy with the online service. 😊

N.

s.

Great food, great location and great ambiance. The team is super cool and offer five star service !

J.

It's a typical place in New Zealand, you need to go in Burger Fuel It's so tasty and good ! But for me it's a little bit expensive if you compare with Carl junior for me it's better)

D.

Consistently good level of food and service, friendly and responsive staff, and never less than decently clean. And some days it's even better than that.

R.

Great food but fairly poor service. Always hard to get the register staff to make eye contact.

K.

Clean and tidy best burgers in the world

K.

Spot on :) made me a burger that they don't have on the menu anymore. 4pm best time to go, this place is usually busy.

M.

Have always had consistently good meals from here, busy location but the wait time is acceptable.

Not sure if it was my level of intoxication or the quality of the burger all I know is that the c n cheese hit the spot! 5/5

B.

Favorite lunch spot. Friendly staff with consistent service. The foods good too!

D.

ok burgers - a bit more on the fast food side (soggy buns), but decent size and chips were chunky and hot
