Burger Time is a burger spot on Queen Street in the heart of Auckland's CBD, sitting on the city's main strip. A good burger comes down to a patty seared hard on a hot plate for a proper crust, a bun soft enough to yield but sturdy enough to hold the juices, and sauce applied with restraint rather than slopped. Where a menu offers single or double patties, the double is usually the safer choice, as a thin patty can vanish under the toppings. Burgers also travel poorly — steam softens the bun while it sits in the bag — so the sooner it is eaten, the better it tastes. For a straightforward, filling feed in the middle of Auckland's busiest street, Burger Time could hardly be better placed.
