Red Star Burger Bar

This burger joint offers two vegan burgers. I tried the falafel one. First of all it's massive, who needs fries when you can have more burger? The falafel and hummus along with the other things they put in really work well together and deliver good taste and amazing texture. Falafel burgers are a little dry, so they haven't really discovered the cure for that, but I wouldn't hesitate to try this again, or see how they did with their other option, an impossible patty burger I decided to forgo the indoor seating and take this burger to one of the nearby walks. perfect picnic material (as long as you remember to take your rubbish with you)

Incredible burgers. Forget fergburger this is where everyone should be flocking too. Great staff and atmosphere too. Great prices. Best burgers I've had in a long time.

I really hate leaving bad reviews as you can see from my others but wow, this was disappointing. The gluten-free bun fell apart in my hands, so I couldn’t even eat it, which felt like such a waste of money. The service and atmosphere were great, but unfortunately the food just wasn’t, making it a real letdown

I've been eating at Red Star since it opened. In those early years it blew Fergburger out of the water. Then Danny started cheffing there and it got even better. Those were the Halcyon days. Danny left, but the food was still great. It changed ownership, the food was still good but not Danny good. Now it seems to have changed owners again and I fear my time with Red Star has come to an end. Tonight was the third time we've eaten there recently and the third time we've been disappointed. The bun was dry, the patty was thin, overcooked and also dry, and there was a huge excess of sauce, so much so it was hard to keep the burger together. I want to enjoy Red Star so so much. I miss eating a good burger take out. I really hope Red Star can get back to being the awesome eatery it used to be.

2024→This BBQ burger was the best burger I've ever had. The flavor was perfect. And it was great value for money. 2025→ Revisited from Japan for the first time in a year. I was looking forward to the BBQ burger, but I was surprised to eat it because the contents were different. The jalapeño was so spicy that it didn't suit my taste... It's a pity that I've been looking forward to it for a year.

Really good burgers! And the best fries I have had in New Zealand! Recommend ⭐

The burgers are tasteful indeed and I especially enjoyed the crispy bacon. But the best? The burgers don't make it into my personal top 5 (with the Fergburger on number 1, only mentioning that because someone else was), but that doesn't mean this place isn't worth a visit. I just happened to travel around the world and I've got a lot of burgers to compare.

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.

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!
