Awesome place and hearty burgers. Located in the viaduct and a good place to meet up with mates and have a burger and a few beers. Place is great in Summer

We enjoyed our dinner at Fokker Bros. It’s a good hangout spot in the area if you want to sit down and chat with friends as it’s not as loud compared to some pubs and not to quiet compared to other diners. The staff were polite and accomodating. Our order come out in a few minutes and in very good quality. The menu was simple which is good esp. when you just want to have that burger+fries+milkshake combo American style.
We will definitely come back to dine again and would recommend the place. Cheers.
ok tasting. Interesting combos. Portions could be bigger for the price. Then again it is the viaduct so premium, I guess. Ordered the Mac and cheese and bacon burger. Took the bun less option with an extra patty. $23.50. Service friendly if a bit slow. Not too impressed nor unimpressed. Just ok
Lunch stop cause we weren’t a fan of the French festival.... ordered the beer battered fries, strawberry classic shake, funky chicken burger and the classic burger. The fried were very chrunchy which let’s face it is all you want. The shake had a ton of whipped cream on top but I devoured it before I could take a picture 🙄 the beef burger came with pickled onions which is different but nice and the chicken was chrunchy n juicy. All in all great food with service
The burgers at Fokker Bros are classic. Went twice in one week. Had the kiwi burger and then had the sweet as burger. So good and would be a definite visit again.
I loved my experience here, food was great. Fokker Bros have the best buffalo wings. Great customer service. It is a great place to come to on a Sunday afternoon. Will come back again.
I've read about this place online and thought to myself why not give this place a go.. Food was good, i got the Kiwi Black Burger and 1/2 KG of Wings. Nothing Special with the meal.. I would recommend coming here with a few mates and taking on that Monster Burger Challenge for $70. 4 stars because of the price of 22 For only 6 Wings..
Been here twice now and have loved it both times.
Great service, delicious food 😀
10/10 would recommend the Mac n cheese bites!
They also have free refills for soft drinks.
Grabbed two snacks at Fokker Bros and yet they were very filling. You can never go wrong with chicken and chips and what better when served with a side of aioli.
Very good experience. We took two kiwi black burgers, a sweet potato and a cheese bites. Everything’s perfect. And I really like that cheese ball. Perfect foods.
Ayoooo fokker bro my boy! My mate and I grabbed a burger each. Porker (black) and bacon mac n cheese. These came out on time and mad were they so good.
Will definitely come here again and even for drinks too. Had really good vibes.
Staff are polite. Always checking if everything is okay. Burgers are to die for. The Shakes...Can never go wrong with that. Chocolate shake Ice Cream with Kit-Kat, M&Ms and Oreo. It's worth my money try it 👌🏼
I’ve only been twice, but the burgers have always been delish! I love their sides too....
I’ve just discovered them on uber eats too! Dangerous!
Highly recommend if you’re feeling like a massive burger fix
Tried this black burger, so juicy and full of flavors. I can tell they are serious about burgers. Highly recommended to burger lovers. It will be better if they offer combos I.e. with chips. ;)
Bit pricey but sooo good. We had the lamb burger and the chicken one with bacon. The burgers were good but the poutine curly fries are absolutely to die for! Would definitely recommend :)
Lovely staff! Food was also very nice but on the expensive side. Had the Lamb Burger, and it was very nice! Right next the water front makes for a good view too. Must visit
It was really delicious we got the vegetarian burger, the curly fries and the mac and cheese bites. Very yum. The food came out in a timely manner we probably waited only 15 minutes. The environment is really nice it was quite warm on such a cold day. The staff were nice.
The sandwich and burger were heavier meals for our liking, it was hard to really enjoy it for our personal taste. We didn’t feel that well after eating it... the burger and sandwich we got felt like it was grilled on a grill that had a lot of oil or grease on it.
The fries were really good though!
It’s hard to complain about the energy, and service of the place - so it’s not a place we wouldn’t recommend but it’s not a place we personally would normally eat it.
Has a good theme and bar vibe.
Updated review: got a Fokker Cheese burger and didn’t taste overly greasy/oily. Tasty burger :)
(Found out about this place through Zomato Gold)
Great burgers, fantastic kumara fries. Classic American style burger joint with a nice touch of Kiwi. Real nice atmosphere and meal for a cold evening.
As a vegetarian it's hard to find burgers that aren't too dry and unfortunately this one did fall onto the drier side. Service however was lovely and the fries were great! My partner had a cheeseburger and enjoyed his. Considering there was only one other table seated at that time, our food did take a bit longer than expected to come out.
Would give it a 3 or 3.5 but with Zomato gold our meal turned out to be a deal
My partner is a massive burger connoisseur and he rates Fokker Brothers as his favourite Burger Joint so far! He always opts for their signature black bun burger and although it is a bit pricey - he says it’s well worth it every time!
You can change your bun for lettuce with any of their burgers which I think is a good menu option for most people these days. Their kumara fries are perfection!!!
Friday nights everywhere are always swamped but despite just having 3 staff on duty the service was amazingly efficient. There was a queue outside to begin with, asked for a contact number so they’ll call when there is an available table. It’s good thinking so no one would be standing outside hovering their eyes on which table is about to finish. Service was fantastic, super friendly staff and the food was great. Ordered the all time favourite Black Burger 😊
Really good burgers. I ordered the mac n cheese burger and it was amazing. The patty is cooked nicely - not dry etc. The mac n cheese was generous. It was a little difficult to pick up with things falling out but that wasn’t really a problem. The onion rings and curly fries were pretty standard but good.

Amazing burgers, great location, real friendly staff, consistently high quality, fresh ingredients, good range of burgers and other devilish delights
Shared the bacon mac n cheese burger + kiwi black burger + beer battered chips. The burgers here are so delicious and juicy balanced with fresh greens. Beer battered chips were also great. Favourite would have to be kiwi burger. That being said have to credit the mac n cheese but had to add some sauce because it didn't have much of sweet component to balance unlike the kiwi black which had tomatoes and beetroot. Now the negatives, this place gets BUSY and there were only 2 floor staff. Appreciate the manager letting us know politely and honestly due to the wait times, the drinks would be ages so we didn't end up ordering. They got so busy that they lost tabs of the order that we had to repeat our order and only realised after we got charged more. Still giving these guys a positive outcome because they hustle as much as they can given the volume of customers and lack of staff but of course also because of the food... But not everyone may be as forgiving!
Tried their best seller - kiwi burger with charcoal bun.. did not disappoint! Mac n cheese is a must try too!
My friend and i loved the food and friendly service. Good to have used the gold zomato as well.. will recommend to friends and family... will def come back. (Its a family restau after all!)
Service and food is amazing as always. Best manager always has a smile and happy to help. Will always come back for the fried chicken burger !!

We came here as party of 2 with a First Table reservation. We ordered the Special Juicy Lucy Burger, Philly Cheesesteak, Buffalo Wings, and Poutine.
The American-themed interior was very nice with old music flowing through the TVs and speakers.
The burger was absolutely massive. I loved the two thick, juicy beef patties and the fried pickle was an excellent touch.
I was surprised to see the cheesesteak served in a burger bun instead of the promised hoagie roll when it first came to our table, but I just assumed that they ran out and thus had to substitute it with a burger bun. The beef was a bit too chewy but I absolutely loved the cheese, onion and capsicum. There was a bit too much pepper for my liking.
The buffalo wings were delicious and some of the best I’ve ever had. There was a good amount of hot sauce and the chicken was really soft and juicy.
I’d never seen curly fries being used in poutine before, but it was definitely a good replacement for normal fries as I feel like curly fries stay crunchier for longer. I loved the flavour of the gravy but there was definitely too much - it was almost like a soup, thus it wasn’t too pleasant when it got to the end and all the fries were drenched in the salty gravy.
#zomatogold# experience was perfect! Came for lunch with colleagues. The food was very nice. I had the Kiwi Black burger, very tasty! The curly fries were a little bit overcooked, the normal fries were perfect!
My first time at Fokker Bros and I absolutely loved my meal. Ordered the Fokker Cheese and it was the most mouth watering burger I’d ever had, period. Sweet potato fries are smashing! Great food staff was also very friendly!
Great food, great deal with gold card! The burger is ok, but the price on menus is bit high and it doesn’t come with chips:( But overall, excellent service and good food
Amazing burger, clean cheat meal and worth the feed. Mac and cheese balls were slightly bland but loved everything else overall. Great experience with good service.
RAPTUROUS. Achieving coalescence of culinary modernity and Kiwi cuisine, Fokker Bros pretty much nailed it.
The Kiwi Black (Charcoal Bun Kiwiburger) definitely hits the spot if you’re craving a proper burger like myself that day. Their burgers are filled with fresh salads (not dead like at most places) and, most importantly, juicy patties. The Hangover Dog was satisfying to say the least and definitely lives up to its name - helping you overcome the hardest hangovers, wrapped in the most amazing bun that’s perfect for hot dogs. Their beer-battered fries are a staple side and I feel you can never go wrong with these, however the Mac’n’cheese Balls were a bit disappointing since they were quite dry and not as cheesy.
Great staff, great service, perfect location. Given their location, they have reasonable value for money but then they’re especially worth it with Zomato Gold. Located in Viaduct Harbour.
Lamb Burger
Beer Battered Fries
Lamb Burger was well presented. The meat was juicy and succulent with a good blend of flavours. The bread was slightly dry but the coleslaw and cheese melted in to balance this.
Fries were crunchy and well done but nothing special on the flavour front.
Service was friendly but a little slow and the ordering process was a little unclear.
Ordered the Fokker cheese burger with beer battered fries. The burger was so yum but the only negative was the patty was quite salty. The fries were super crispy & perfectly salted. Servings are generous for the price. Customer service was lacking as when we walked in we were not greeted or even acknowledged... and took ages for the waitress to come get our order. But food was enjoyable, so I will be back to try the other burgers!
Edit: went again today & got the Fokker cheese again! - the patty was a lot better today & ordered the chips again 😍😍 my friend ordered the Mac n cheese burger which looked amazing! (But apparently there was too much cheese for his liking).
Went back AGAIN & got the kiwi burger & can confirm it’s my fav!!!

Lunch during rainy day with Denny Setiawan and this is how we spent the weekend lunch.. ordered kiwi blackburger and the lamb for us.. definitely love the kiwi blackburger and they have unique flavor.. yummy and delicious
Great burgers for a casual after work catchup or for weekend outing in Viaduct. Shakes are awesome too (just a bit hard to finish if also having a Burger)
The food was good, very indulgent. I ordered the nachoes which were amazing and huge (probably meant to share). The deep fried mac'n'cheese was also very nice. Only order dessert/freakshakes if you're up to a challenge, very sweet and filling!
The ambience is fun with a big mix of older and modern music.
Service was good too.
Went there for dinner and I loved the American vibe. The staff were really great and friendly. The burgers were really good, buns were super soft. As soon as they came on to the table we demolished it in just a few minutes. It was that good! Would come back here again with friends!
Really enjoyed the bacon mac n cheese burger here. Nice to see a burger menu with some fresh ideas on it. The staff who served us were really friendly, however, one bloke had no shoes on which was a bit odd 😂
Awesome joint by the harbor. Finally my quest for a proper burger place is over. Had the Kiwi Black burger and it lived up to its hype in all departments. The beer battered fries were the best I had till date. Splendid taste, awesome presentation, great service and a super dope location. No complaints whatsoever. Would definitely give the hot dogs a try on my next visit.
If you're looking for good burger joint, give this place a try. You'll love it.
Excellent ambiance and service.
The Porker burger was brilliant. The combination between cheese, pork, pineapples and pickles is awesome.
The lamb was alright. I wish it was juicier and more flavoursome.
Overall a good experience, although it is on the pricier side.
The burgers here are so delicious and massive. Their fries are always so good, they also have specials - better to always ask staff what this is!
It is located right on viaduct harbour and you get to see the nice view when eating here at night.
Such a good experience! Service was lovely, burgers were amazing, and the frosé was so good as well! I got the chunky chicken with avo and cheese and it was everything I’d hoped for. The bun was lovely and soft. My friend for the Fokker classic, that was also amazing. Will definitely be back for more :)
Came here for a company function and then again with my wife. Enjoyed the gourmet burgers and friendly service. Will definitely be back again.
Best Burger place in Akl ?
Kiwi Black Burger - 5/5 juicy, cheesy, greasy with Long Island ice tea PerfectO!
Hotdog is Alright, could have been better !!!
If you're after a good burger or hot dog give Fokker Bros a try!
The Philly cheese steak, although a little pricey at $20 was still filling. The steak was cooked well, very tender and combined with the cheese was fantastic.
Their classic burger is simple but tasty. The beef patty had a strong char grilled flavour which compliments the pickled onion well.
Their shakes are awesome too.
Had the sweet as burger and kumara fries, which were absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was chill and relaxed and although the staff were super attentive it simply didn’t feel like it was needed here. Only things that needs improving is cleaning up things like the sauce bottles, otherwise really cute and a lot of fun details.
OH MY GOSH. If you’re wanting the feast to end all feasts, Fokker Bros is the place to go. Tucked away in its own little corner on the Viaduct, this place has a laid-back, comfy atmosphere with friendly servers. I have been twice and both times our server acted as if we had known each other for years, which is really nice. This first time I ordered the Mac and cheese burger (I forget the name) with fries. First off, IT’S HUGE. But it’s awesome. Every element is perfect and works in harmony with each other - you can really tell that they’ve really trialled these crazy burger concepts before slapping them all together, and for the size of the burger, the prices make it all worth it. However, what I will note is that the Freakshakes aren’t really anything I’d rave about. While they definitely look the part I don’t think the actual milkshake itself is worth the price point - if you’re going to Fokker Bros, definitely stick to burgers!
Simply the best gourmet burgers in Auckland.
Sometimes it takes a bit longer than normal but once those beauties are in the table, the day becomes better. Best chips too. Sooo love them.
I mean this place takes hotdogs to the next level. The hotdog I ordered through ubereats was longer than the container lol. I would have preferred the sausage to have more flavour but hey, they’re keeping the American hotdog thing pretty traditional I guess.
Apparently the sausages are nz made so that’s a bonus.
Would order again.
The burgers here are really good and the staff are great. It does get busy at lunch time, so just be ready for that if you don't go early. I once accidentally got normal sauce instead of it being dairy free, the staff were really good about getting me a dairy free one instead so I have been there a few times since. You can get a lettuce burgers if you can't have a normal burger, it's much lighter but still good 😉
The food was amazing and it was a friendly great atmosphere. I went here on a date with my boyfriend in February. The only thing that was off putting was the waitress attending to our table. She was quite rude and only would adress my date and would ignore me when I would try and order. This made us uncomfortable because I usually am the more outspoken one. She was always very persistent on getting us alcohal despite us wanting water. She also ignored us for an hour and when we wanted desert, my boyfriend had to walk up to her and ask her if we could order again. She gave a dirty look to my boyfriend apperently according to him. Otherwise the other staff was friendly and great to talk to:)
The food here is pretty nice. The servings are quite large, the milkshakes are incredible. The staff seem friendly and the location is nice, right next to the water. But on the more pricy side for diner food but overall a good experience
Loved the curly fries and macaroni and cheese balls. The burger was big however im not really a fan of celery and so it was alright for me. I wish i ordered something different. But the chicken in the burger was good. The overall environment of the restaurant was nice. Very chill vibe.

Craving a classic American diner-like meal? Fokker Bros is the place! With a range of delicious burgers and loaded hot dogs you can satisfy your craving along with any of their tempting sides or freak shakes! There is also a range of salads and other classic dishes too if burgers and hot dogs don’t tickle your fancy.
After devouring ‘The Hot Dog’, which had bacon, fig & marsala chutney and crispy balsamic onions topped on a frankfurter with a drizzle of chipotle sauce all I wanted were more more more! But in all seriousness, one was enough for me! I swear that hot dog was longer than my face.
I wasn’t about to dine at Fokker Bros and not order a burger! We also had “The Funky Chicken”, which was a free-range chicken breast coated in buttermilk batter, tomato, lettuce and a ranch dressing. All it took was one bite and it sent me straight to paradise.
But that wasn’t all we had either! Even though one dish is more than enough to fill this tummy of mine! So yes, portion size is generous and well worth the price.
I was craving Mac n Cheese balls for what felt like a million years and I was super stoked to see that on their menu! This dish is part of their new menu and it is absolutely breathtaking! As a true lover of mac n cheese - I can honestly say Fokker Bros do it justice!
Aside from food, service was pretty average as it was quite quiet when I went and the staff sort of sat there doing their own thing. However, the ambience is nice as it is near the Viaduct and there’s reasonable seating also. If you’re a driver, I would highly recommend parking at the “Downtown carpark” as it’s only $2/hr on weekends or weekday evenings and you’ll be guaranteed a spot!
Food 8/10
Service 5.5/10
Ambience 6/10
Price 6.5/10
A caveat in that I have not tried the burgers here, so my review might not be totally accurate.
Came here under the suggestion from one of my colleagues who enjoyed Fokker Bro’s happy hour drinks, having a few drinks it was easy to see why my colleague liked coming here. 6$ Margaritas, 7$ Coke and rum and a variety of other deals, I appreciate that the bartender gave us a solid shot of alcohol and didn’t try to skim us on that. So good job to the staff at Fokker Bros and if you’re in a spot to down some pre-drinks I would highly recommend this place.
We also ordered some poutine curly fries, they were fabulous. Couldn't have asked for a better pairing with our drinks than poutine fries.
Service was cheerful and attentive.
Showstopper: Happy Hour drinks and poutines fries.
Overall Grade: B+
Service was fast and friendly. Food came out quickly despite it being quite busy (12:30pm on a Friday). Portions were very filling and good ratio of meat/salad/bun. Curly fries were very crispy!
Would definitely come back
I haven't actually been to Fokker bros but I have ordered off uber a few times so I can't comment on service. The food is great. the sweet as burger is to die for as well as the chicken littles, the chips are pretty good considering they sit out for a bit while being delivered. The only issue I had was I tried one of the hot dogs which was good but was drenched in sauce to the point where I couldn't see the toppings or any sign of the sausage, as a sauce lover it's not the biggest issue and it may have been a one-off issue after reading other reviews. Will definitely order again and hopefully make it in store.
A very cool burger bar. A little on the pricey side, but the quality is definitely worth it.
The shakes are pretty insane and over the top for sure! The Fokker burger with cheese is a perfect example of what a standard cheese burger should be. Definitely recommend!
The service is not too great, waiters are not very attentive and was just playing on his phone but the food is the redeeming quality. Burgers are great and full on flavor, I'd say above average even among the gourmet burger joints but you really pay for it, being up to $23 for a burger. The nachos are not worth it at all, very dry and lack of ingredients, about two thirds were just corn chips. The monster burger combo is something special but you really can't eat it as a burger.
Still a few kinks to work out. Burger came out missing half the ingredients. The staff however got it sorted straightaway. Good service and the food was all really really tasty. Would recommend and return.
Definitely worth the trip into the city centre. The burgers were delicious. Make sure to go for the combo as the fries were just as good. About the freakshakes...have one to share as they are good but way too sweet for one person to eat.
Friendly staff, great atmosphere, tasty food, great milkshakes! Great drinks menu.
Frenchie burger was very filling, but the donut bun's sugary glaze was unbearably sweet. Will be back to try the hotdogs, they look amazing.
Highly recommend the loaded fries!
Love this place - had a classic shake (strawberry) and the Fokker Club with buttermilk-battered chicken. The kitchen was nice enough to swap the beer-battered fries for chips/crisps! Try to go here as often as I can - great service and food. Finally got to try the tuna melt and the kitchen was nice enough to swap the beer-battered fries for kumara fries. I had the hot sauce on the side ;o) both meals are my top picks.
"The best burger in Auckland" a motto reasonably well kept. Not that I have tried all the burgers in Auckland but I don't expect the one I had to be the best. I had the Bacon Mac and Cheese Burger because it sounded horrifying. It was in fact reasonable but the Mac was unnecessary- it did not add to flavour or texture, but I was pleased with the 5 cheeses as it added a creamy-ness not found in your typical McDonald's burger.
The chips were the cherry on top for me as they were perfectly crispy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside, much like a tater-tot.
Location- good
View-average for location
Price- good for location
Service- neither really here nor there, very casual
Food- some really good parts, nothing bad
I would visit here again for a casual meal.
Great burgers. The beef patty cooked at medium was juicy and tasty. Service from the waitress was good. Thick cut fries that are beer battered.
Great burgers, I tried the Fokker Cheese burger which was great and the Funky Chicken burger. The chicken in the burger was a bit dry so wouldn't get that burger again. The Sweet Potato fries were amazing. Will definitely go back to this place.

I've been to here 3 times. The first time I ordered lamb, second time I ordered the kiwi black, and this time I ordered fokker club (sandwich). I love every meal I ordered. Apart from burger, the chips is also good.
Burger was good, but the real star of the show was the chips. Saw they had loaded chips on the menu, would definitely go back just for loaded chips and a few beers. I got the buffalo chicken burger and it was a tasty burger but it wasn't very spicy...but I'm not complaining, there's hot sauces at the table. Would recommend.
Yeah actually i do agree it being one of the nice burger places in Auckland, so it gets to be added to my list of burger places to go. The bonus was the fries - o.m.g i have a thing for fries and these guys do it gooooood. Also it being on the waterfront makes it a very funky location to be.
I had a philly cheesesteak and although they didnt have the bread for it, I was offered a bun and it tasted good to me.
Caesar salad was good and preferred the egg over it over sardines.
Unfortunately the lamb burger is dry and two people in my party had burgers, one said it was good the other said it was the worst burger ever, I didn't taste it so I will not judge.
The wings are whole, not cut into flats and drumsticks like traditional places do.
Good food and fast service. Tested the burger and it was huge (the same with the fries). Burger might need a bit of tuning with the flavour :)
