What I liked
There were really good flavours in the burger. The meat looks like it’s ground especially for the burger, and cooked perfectly – that pinky middle.
What I wasn’t keen on
Tallness! This isn’t one I could just pick up and bite. Also, I’m a saucy one. I would like more sauces please!
Would I order it again?
I would order it in future, but next time I visit I’d try out another type of burger.
What I liked
The burger looked nice and it came with chips!
What I wasn’t keen on
The dryness. The meat was dry, the bun was dry, and there wasn’t much sauce on the burger or on the table.
Would I order it again?
No. Given the central city location, there are much better options within walking distance.
What I liked
Peanut butter satay (Fix and Fogg base) and lots of it. Crispy deep fried tofu strips. Crisp fresh veg.
What I wasn’t keen on
Messiness. That’s a very minor thing when it comes to burgers.
What I didn’t notice
This is a meatfree burger. I did not miss the meat – it was well balanced in terms of flavour and texture.
Would I order it again?
Hell yes.
I’ve been wanting to try a Wise Boys burger for ages, and I was stoked to find out they were as good as I’d hoped! My dining companion ordered the Moroccan and only had praise. These burgers are legit and if you find them in your ‘hood, give them a visit.
I had the sad news confirmed today – Corner Burger at Greenwoods Corner is no longer open. Corner Burger in Mt Eden is still alive and kicking with their hip new look and spacious restaurant – but I don’t think the burgers are as good as they were at Greenwoods Corner.
What I liked
The meaty mushroom coated in a herby breadcrumbs. I really liked how the mushroom was the perfect size for the bun. It was more than just a mushroom in a bun – nicely seasoned and nice flavours. I didn’t feel like I was missing a beef patty. ALSO: Better Burger’s price! At $6.50 this is not too bad.
What I wasn’t keen on
I’m not a raw onion fan, so that is the one thing I did not like so much about this burger. I would also recommend skipping the sides.
Would I order it again?
Yes, minus the onions, or perhaps if I could get it with grilled onions!

What I didn’t notice
What I wasn’t too keen on
Would I eat it again?
Yes, but maybe ask them to go a bit easier on those sauces.
My go-to burger is a beef patty, cooked crisp on the outside and pink in the middle, maybe a slice of cheese, and definitely mayo, lettuce, tomato, and grilled onions in a soft bun. Pickles are pretty good too.
I enjoy both making burgers from scratch, and having someone make a burger for me.
I spend the rest of my time having a full time job, a spouse, a cat, and quite a few other hobbies besides cooking and eating.
Starting with a rather controversial announcement:
I went back to get my favourite burger, and tried out the Tiger Roar add on – a healthy slathering of spicy sauce to make it “Korean hot”.
