Red Star Burger Bar

We’re a family that appreciates a good burger, and Red Star Burger truly delivered. We tried the Cheeseburger, Dirty Burger, and Blue Cheese Burger — each one packed with flavour and cooked to perfection. After being underwhelmed by the hype of Fergburger in Queenstown, Red Star was a refreshing surprise. Easily one of the tastiest burger spots we’ve tried in New Zealand!

The best burgers, far exceeded our expectations, fast service, very friendly staff and not too excessive prices. The sauces are incredible. We wonder why it is not more popular than a certain Queenstown brand. It is a must try.

We had the lamb and cheese burger which was great. The cajun fries were dry though. Beers were good. Service was fast, pleasant and prompt.

Very good burgers, large and nicely cooked, not much of a wait, easy location to get to and get parking, friendly staff A+++ 10/10 Will be back next time in Wanaka

Now that is what I call a burger 😎 you get so much and oh my how tasty! If I could give 6 stars I would! Staff were amazing, the timing was quick and the product couldn’t be better!

They have really good lamb burgers and the fries were perfectly cooked with the right amount of salt! We got the blue cheese sauce with fries - perfect combo, really hits the spot 👌 Everything was fresh and very generous portions. Staff were friendly, nice dining area too - staff were continuously cleaning! Great place to grab a bite! Would definitely recommend, 100 star review ✨️

🍔Our go to burger has and will always be Red Star. The chips are always crispy, and the service is quick and friendly. Always takeaway - so no waiting for tables but overall great atmosphere inside shop! Thanks for the great meal!!

Bummer!Was looking forward to food after reading positive reviews. I ordered the mofo bowl, The pattie was only just warm, and the bacon was cold and tough, piled on top of a mountain of mushy salad.. Bit of a shame. Maybe the burger would've been better. :(

After 24 hours of traveling from USA, this was excellent. Meat was perfectly cooked and everything fresh. So missed beetroot and egg on burgers.

I looked at the menu and got excited about the interesting type of burgers they had. I tried the chicken burger and a basic burger. The place was very popular and I could tell that had a lot of take out orders. Staff was very friendly. After waiting for a bit. When we finally got our food we began to dig in. Each type of burger I tried was very dry and pretty bland in taste although it was freshly cooked. Unfortunately, I would not recommend ordering a burger at this place.

Great place for burgers. You get your choice of protein, and lots of great toppings. We had the Mofo and Bleu, both of which were excellent. Nice selection of drinks. Sit inside or outside.

We walked in around 4:45pm there were two Asian gentlemen in line in front of us that were questioning about their order and the manager was like you didbtbirdEd that put we can adds it put you have to pay. Which they did! So the four of us ordered hamburgers and milk shakes that were big and they were just ok. We were sitting outside on the picnic tables and there were 3 other patrons there. Our spouses showed up with fried cauliflower from another vendor and walked over to sit witH us and the rude manager told them he spent a lot of money on the patio and to leave. He never gave them the option to purchase a drink or a burger he chased them off. It was handled horrible. We have only encountered wonderful nice people in New Zealand until here! Customer service is #1 and his is horrible!

A very good burger and beer joint in Wanaka. My stopover was during the day, but I can tell that at night, it would be good for casual group outings. Nicer than a diner, but not a gastropub. The burger (I can't remember which) was excellent, and the selection of local beers was solid enough. A bit high for those on the backpacker budget, but once in awhile, they too must splurge.

I got the MOFO burger and fries today. I must say it is pretty delicious. And this is coming from a burger lover from LA. Everything was delicious. The Cajun fries has the perfect balance of crispy outer and moist potato inside. That white sauce...what is it??? Love it! MOFO had everything on it! The meat was cooked to perfection. Had that grill mark but was super juicy. The egg...eggs make everything better. It was pretty cooked. No runny eggs to splatter all over the burger.

Great beef and fish burgers. Huge. Tasty rolls. Fries were excellent. Salad was tasty and huge. All fresh ingredients. Highly recommended.

We stopped in here for a quick dinner. We had the chicken burger, deer burger and split an order of fries. The fries were great, nice and crispy. Both burgers were cooked perfect and very tasty. Also they have a nice selection of local beers with several different styles so you can get the perfect beer for your burger.

Can't speak for the burgers otherwise this would be 1 star. DO NOT GET THE MILKSHAKES. Absolutely the worst shake I've ever had---it's like you're drinking foamy icing. Nasty--we both thew away our shakes after 3 sips. NASTY!
