The biggest & best burger bars in Takapuna

A burger a day will keep the hangry away and we’ve got you covered with enough suggestions to keep chowing down for at least a week.

Rosie’s Red Hot Cantina

How about a burg from one of the hottest spots in Takapuna, Rosie’s Red Hot Cantina? With three smashing options, each burger is served in a milk bun and comes with shoestring fries, ketchup and aioli. Plant-eaters are catered for with a hemp & chipotle burger served on a vegan brioche. 

Goldie’s Bar & Yard

If you’re in the mood for some southern hospitality, honky tonk vibes, epic food and somewhere to hang your hat after a long day, head to Goldie’s Bar & Yard.

Goldie’s Chicken Burger comes packed with not only their delicious Southern Fried chicken, but jalapeño slaw, bourbon BBQ sauce, avocado cream, pickled red onion, ranch,
in a pretzel bun, AND fries .. need we say more?

Centro Cafe

What would make crispy, crunchy chicken better? Wrap it in a burger.

That’s exactly what Centro has done, plus added all the favourite burger fillings you love.

If you’re dining with people who aren’t on a burger hunt, there are plenty of menu options for them to choose from.

Catch 21 

Lobster burger. You read that right. Broaden your burger horizons, and check out Catch 21’s lobster open burger.

You can even request a second lobster tail, if you feel like one won’t quite cut the, er, spiced truffled hollandaise.

My Fried Chicken

K-pop, K-drama, K-fried-chicken!

For burgers with tasty Korean flair, make a bee line for My Fried Chicken.

This Korean-centric menu has three burger options: fried chicken of course, bulgogi beef, and prawn.

Florrie McGreal’s

Florrie’s is rocking a four-burger menu on top of all their pub classics. The top hog, according to us, is the pulled pork cheeseburger.

Pure melty, tangy, BBQ pork goodness on a bun.

Honey Cafe 

Looking for a café with a lovely ambience and feel while chowing down?

Make a beeline for Honey Cafe and satisfy your burger craving with the buttermilk fried chicken burger.

Jam Organic Cafe 

For a burger that uses free-range meat and eggs, look no further than Jam.

The team at Jam are dedicated to sustainability, quality and community while producing some flavourful food.

Make sure you order a cup of their award-winning coffee while you’re there.
