Best new burger spot in town! If tasty and delicious had an orgy in my mouth, the black dog deluxe is what would show up under the black light!
Value for money and beers on tap, what more could you ask for!
Yum yum yum - this place will be my new regular. Super tasty burger with everything you want eat in it
Best burgers in town! Absolutely love this place!
Bloody brill burgers, the patty was especially delicious. Great price as well, this is sure to feature regularly on the lunch line up in the future.
Legit have been here pretty much every day for the last 3 weeks. Thats what the gym is for right?
Wicked place. Have a been a few times now whilst up from wellington. Prices and great and service is better.
Manager is very friendly. Cheers
Great burger, prepared from fresh ingredients cooked while we waited, loaded fries were sweet, good atmosphere. We stop in whenever we are in the area.
I'm reviewing based on their loaded fries alone. Their loaded fries are the best I've ever had. Their black dog burger was also decent, but will be going back for more fries.
Have been here twice and have tried their chicken burger which is very yummy and soft ...egg lazed buns are good..price is fair...nice cizy place
Been here during Lunch Time on a Friday.. went in with a lot of expectations and recommendation. It was pretty crowded yet service was efficient and quick. So we ordered for the Spicy Chicken Burger Combo for $13 (which comes with fries + coke). What can I say, it was sumptuous! It had everything i wanted super soft Brioche Buns, Crispy Crumbed Chicken pieces with slaw anddd Jalapeños !!!! 😍 Yum!
Fries 🍟 were nice and crunchy so overall we were couple of happy souls on a Friday! Will recommend it as a must try!
Amazing delicious food!! I got the deluxe burger and it's was amazing. I would totally recommend going here, the food is great and the staff are funny and welcoming. 👍🍔🍟
SAUCE. WHERE IS THE SAUCE? This should be the first thing the restaurant owner/manager reads because it's the only thing missing.
The value for money here is great. It's only $13 dollars for their Premium Black Dog Burger with a side of fries and a soft drink. Brilliant.
There's usually one guy running the show, both working the grill and serving customers. He's very nice and does a great job.
I will be back here, but PLEASE get some sauce. A standard Buffalo Sauce from Countdown will do!
Great amazing food!! Price is good, quality is amazing. With it being unprocessed Angus pattie you get to choose how you want the meat cooked.
Nice friendly welcome and chit chat. There is also a great $15 deal for a beer, any burger and chips. Definitely will be back
Updated: They've really improved quality to the point where it's one of my guilty pleasures time to time.
Nice little Burger joint adjacent to The Empire. The Black Dog burger was nice and delicious. And they are very reasonably priced to boot. Good addition to central city eating options.
Ordered the deluxe with fries. It was a simple delicious burger. I would say for the money if you're looking for a burger this is a great place. Staff was friendly and the place was tidy.
Located at the corner of Empire Hotel. Signage isn’t big so can be easy to miss. Portions are very generous. Smash burger was good but would have loved the option to add another patty. Would come back and try their fried chicken burger. Small seating area with 3 tables and a few counter seats.
Fantastic establishment. I had the vege burger and it was absolutely delicious. Food was of the highest standard and being able to add the sauce for the fries ourselves was a real treat. Would definitely dine again. At first we sat at the table in the middle, the door was open and it was a brisk night. That wasn't great. But when some other customers left we moved over to the booths and had no further complaints.
Black Dog burger is a culinary experience. The burger is crafted with precision and excellence rarely seen in the restaurants without a Michelin star. The service is exemplary and it helps that the two workers look as if they have been carved out of marble by Michelangelo himself. Black dog burger offers a lively atmosphere akin to attending Woodstock in 1969 or a gladiator battle in Ancient Rome at the coliseum. At black dog burger you are not simply visiting a burger restaurant, you are having a life altering experience that will transform you into the person you were meant to be.
Great burger, everything was super fresh (like really fresh) pattie was very dense steaky and full of flavour, onion rings were crispy as, and was all served pretty much straight off the hotplate!!
I got a beef smash burger, fries and coke combo for $25.
Cheers team was a good feed, just what I needed after a long day of delayed flights :)
The burgers were good and the staff were friendly, but the chips were a little bit disappointing. Overall it was a good experience.
Went in for two burgers and two beers after seeing the high ratings. The burgers were fresh, well prepared and delicious. There was a choice of only two draft beers. The area was fitted with heavy bench tables and we chose those over the very loud tavern and garden room adjoining. Counter ordering and self service pick up. $56. I guess inflation has also hit NZ.
The food is absolutely amazing. I came here 3 days in a row, and it would be more if I lived closer, but I live in the USA ;(.
The fries were great, the smash burger was great, the chicken sandwich was great, the hours aren't great but that seems to be a thing in Auckland.
Hope this place catches on and grows to more places.
Black Dog Burger is more than a burger place, it’s to what many people have described as “home”. The burgers to which you are served are what Times Magazine has described as “passion on a plate”.
To think you can get this delectable culinary delight for a mere $18 is to what Robin Hood did to the rich years before (stealing). I came to this establishment for a mere meal, and left with the power of love.
If Spongebob was still with us, he too would admit this place is better than the Krabby Patty Formula.
This burger restaurant is attached to the Empire Tavern, where I regularly attend the weekly Tuesday Quiz Night. My favourite option (when considering price and taste) is to come here and get a burger and fries. The food is really good and prices cheap for what you get. The workers are always friendly, despite the fact that they're often rushed when I go (because there are lots of other people who like the burgers as much as I do).
To me one of the best burger places here in Auckland. It’s small but the food is great!
They have a tendency to be really busy which causes long wait times.
Recommend the chicken tenders! (Quite hidden on the menu) it’s my favourite dish!
