Better Burger Ponsonby — Restaurant in Waitematā

Better Burger has undoubtedly earned its place as a must-visit destination for burger aficionados. My recent visit left me thoroughly impressed, and I am eager to share my experience.

Upon entering, I opted for the double cheeseburger combo, accompanied by fries and a chocolate shake. From the moment I placed my order, I was met with nothing short of fantastic and polite service. Despite the rush, the staff ensured a seamless and prompt experience.

The first bite of the double cheeseburger was a revelation. Not only did it mirror the picture-perfect presentation, but it also boasted an unparalleled freshness that elevated every bite. The addition of the special burger sauce took the flavor profile to the next level.

As for the fries, while they were perfectly cooked and seasoned, the generous portion left me struggling to finish due to the sheer satisfaction derived from the burger itself. However, the real star of the show was the chocolate shake. Creamy, rich, and indulgent, it stood out as the best fast-food thickshake I've ever had, a true testament to Better Burger's commitment to quality.

While I appreciated the sustainability efforts reflected in the absence of freezers onsite and the use of paper straws, I must admit that the latter posed a slight inconvenience. Nevertheless, it's a small price to pay considering the restaurant's commendable dedication to environmental consciousness, with 99% of their operations being sustainable.

In conclusion, my experience at Better Burger was nothing short of exceptional. From the impeccably fresh ingredients to the unparalleled service, every aspect exceeded my expectations. Whether you're a burger enthusiast or simply seeking a satisfying meal, Better Burger undoubtedly delivers, making it a worthy investment of every...

In the cheeseburger you can hardly taste the cheese because it's being overpowered by the lettuce, tomato and onion. The fries I admit are good, but the epic fries option doesn't have enough toppings. The seating is uncomfortable and the interior fitout seems thrown together compared to other locations. Better Burger Ponsonby isn't a bad place, but it could be so...

Classic burger joint-ordered the cheeseburger burger with added crumbed mushroom. Mushroom was crisp and the classic lettuce and tomato added moist flavor and sweetness to the burger. The patty was not as moist and slightly dry, also thinner than I had expected. The mushroom was slightly small and the flavor and texture got a bit lost as I carried on eating. The fries (especially the ones with more skin than potato) were extremely crisp and satisfying, however most of them were a tad cold. Overall still a quick bite which had me feeling satisfied as a burger should but with so many burger...
