"Pretty good feed, took about 15 minutes in store. When we got home we got our burgers out and they had gave us the wrong burger, received a cheese burger instead of a spicy chicken. Loaded chips were yummy, heaps of jalapeños!"

"Got the 2 Cheeseburger for $17.50 coupon. Burgers were lovely and fresh. Chips were hand cut and a generous serving. Service was fantastic. Came at 5pm on Sunday, but it’s also a great midnight eatery in town!"

"Burger is good and the fries. Place is not that busy. Food served hot and you do need to fill up your own cup for drinks as there is a dispenser."

"Excellent burger that actually looks like the picture. Burgers can be built according to taste, add more jalapenos, skip the onions etc. Food arrived hot at the table. Two thumbs up!"

"Amazing! Food and Service that is. We grabbed a Double Cheeseburger (make it epic) combo and a Spicy Chicken Burger with spicy fries! Both were delicious. The service was excellent, friendly staff even gave our wee girl a free shake! Cheers legends"

"Burgers are juicy, vegetables inside are crispy & fries are freshly made in house. Convenient little spot in town & not too badly priced when considering how much effort goes into making and preparing their burgers. Lovely owner too that's dedicated to keeping up the same good quality for each meal!"

"Had an amazing meal at Better Burger! The burger was juicy, fresh, and full of flavour, you can really taste the quality of the beef and the crisp lettuce. The fries were a real highlight too, thick cut, golden, and loaded with rich, creamy cheese sauce and grilled onions. Absolutely addictive! The staff were friendly, service was quick, and the atmosphere was clean and casual, perfect for a satisfying bite after a long day. Definitely one of the best burger spots in New Zealand I’ve tried. Highly recommend!"
