Yes, you guessed it. The new guy that’s been causing all the fuss. You’ve probably heard by now about how incredible the burgers are at this Ponsonby favourite. Every option has achieved peak delicious. One of each kind of beast trapped in pillowy bread, with house-made sauces and extras. You know how good meats can be, and these are exemplary representatives of their species. It’s what’s wrapped around those fillings that I found most striking: about as perfect a burger bun as I’ve ever come across. Buttery and toasted from the grill-top, airy and soft so your fillings don’t spill out with every bite, yet strong enough to hold together till the end without getting soggy or making you feel like you’ve eaten a bagel’s-worth of wheat. If you’ve had enough burgers you’ll know how important those wheaty bookends can be - they can make or break a burger despite the quality of the fillings, and these quality fillings are thankfully elevated by a bun that knows its job. And if after all of that you’re still strong enough to reject gluten, these chefs will hollow out a cos lettuce and nestle your burger ingredients in there so they’re all cuddled up in a crispy green parcel. I would be going to Burger Burger for those buns alone though if I weren’t already going for the potato skins. You think you’ve tasted the best that a potato can be, but you haven’t yet tasted perfection till you’ve had Burger Burger’s potato skins. I’m guessing they must get gifted extra skins from the neighbouring restaurants because there’s no way they’re getting through all the potato innards this treat is leaving behind. Crispy little curls of golden potato, full of that earthier potato-skin flavour and nestled in beside a glistening little pool of truffle aioli. I probably cried a little the first time I had these. That’s how you know it’s true love.
I came here at 5pm on a Sunday which seemed to be the magic time to be immediately seated! Mum and I were having a "bonding" day and ordered the fish burger and lamb burger to share and the potato skins. The food was absolutely top notch with plenty of delicious tartare on the fish burger and a feta tzatziki on the lamb (nothing worse, IMO, than a dry burger) and a really delightfully brioche-y bun. Great quality product - overall it's grand.
This hip burger joint in Ponsonby Central is a must try! A great cheap eat. Beware - this place is tiny, you could be waiting up to an hour for a table during peak times! I had the beef burger which was yummy and potato skins with aioli which were super crispy. A tad salty for me though, I recommend adding lettuce to the burger to take the saltiness away. All burgers are $10 and you can customise (additional cost).
