Robbers Burger Manukau is a burger takeaway on Great South Road in Manukau City Centre, open every day from 11:00 am to 11:45 pm for pickup and delivery. The menu is built around the grill: beef and lamb patties, grilled chicken tenderloins, tempura-battered fish and veggie patties, each offered in a ladder of builds from the straightforward Prime to the loaded Robbers Special with onion rings and beetroot.
Beyond the burgers, the kitchen turns out Cajun, Moroccan and Lemon Pepper chicken wings, garlic bread in three styles, and a long Side & Snacks list spanning kumara fries, wedges, onion rings, nuggets, beef and lamb bites, squid rings and prawn twisters. Combo deals pair the sides with drinks, including Meat On Chips — your choice of meat over hot chips with two sauces. Salad and rice bowls offer a lighter route with your pick of protein, and two Kids Meals cover younger diners.
Orders can be placed online via the Order Meal platform for pickup or delivery, either on the night or in advance, and the shop holds a 5.0 rating on the platform.
Robbers Burger Manukau sits on Great South Road in the heart of Manukau City Centre, and it does exactly what the name promises: burgers, and a lot of them. What sets this South Auckland takeaway apart is that the menu leans on the grill rather than the fryer. Beef and lamb patties are grilled, chicken comes as grilled tenderloins rather than a processed patty, and the fish burger is built around tempura-battered fish. There is one proud exception for fried-chicken fans — the aptly named Crunchy Chicken — but otherwise this is a grill-first burger shop.
The pickup counter stays open late: 11:00 am to 11:45 pm, every day of the week, with the same window applying to delivery. That makes Robbers a reliable stop for everything from a quick weekday lunch to a proper late-night feed, and the kitchen takes advance orders if you like to plan ahead.
The menu is organised by patty — beef, lamb, chicken, fish and veggie — and within each family you'll find a familiar ladder of options. Start with the Prime (patty, lettuce, onion, tomato, aioli and tomato sauce), turn up the heat with the Spicy (jalapeno aioli and chilli sauce), go bold with the Blue Lovers (blue cheese), keep it classic with the Cheesy (cheese and BBQ sauce), or go tropical with the Hawaiian-Avo, which pairs pineapple and avocado with the grilled patty of your choice.
At the top sits the Robbers Special in each category, and these are the burgers the shop is named for. The Special Beef and Special Lamb stack Swiss cheese, onion rings, cucumber and beetroot — a very Kiwi touch — alongside the usual salad and aioli. The Special Chicken swaps in camembert and a duo of plum sauce and sweet chilli. Beyond the ladder, the chicken family runs further still: a Satay Chicken with Swiss cheese and satay sauce, a Tandoori Chicken with mint aioli and jalapeno, and that fried Crunchy Chicken with pickle and sweet chilli. There's even a Mexican N Egg Beef Burger with guacamole and egg, and a single, confident fish option: the Robbers Special Fish, with tempura fish, egg, pickle and sweet chilli.
Veggie diners get the same treatment rather than a token afterthought: a Prime Veggie Burger, and a Special Veggie loaded with avocado, pineapple, beetroot and onion rings.
Burgers are only the start. The chicken wings come in three flavours — Cajun, Moroccan and Lemon Pepper — and garlic bread runs from classic to cheesy to spicy cheesy. The Side & Snacks list covers fries and kumara fries, wedges, onion rings, nuggets, beef and lamb bites, squid rings, jalapeno cheesy bites, salt and pepper pieces and prawn twisters.
The combo deals do the pairing for you: fries, wedges, kumara fries or nuggets with a drink, or the crowd-pleasing Meat On Chips — your choice of chicken, beef, lamb or fish over hot chips with two sauces and a can drink. If you'd rather skip the bun, the salad bowls include a green salad and a shrimp salad, plus a basmati rice bowl where you pick any protein and two sauces. Families are catered for too, with two kids' meals — a mini cheesy beef or chicken burger or wrap, or a ten-piece nuggets combo, each with fries and a kids' juice.
