1. FERGBURGER
This iconic takeaway burger joint in downtown Queenstown has built a reputation for serving the best burgers, well, just about anywhere. It’s a local legend in every season, evidenced by lines outside which can mean waits of up to 45 minutes or longer, thanks to a creative menu of burger choices that will keep every member of the family happy. Massive and messy, these burgers can become addictive, and faves are fiercely defended. From the ‘Cockadoodle Oink’ with chicken and bacon, to the ‘Codfather’ with beer-battered blue cod or the ‘Fergburger’ classic with prime NZ beef, they guarantee it will be worth the wait. fergburger.com
