About RE Burger Shirley

RE Burger Shirley is part of RE Burger, a New Zealand burger chain that started life as a humble food truck in Dunedin, where the founder set out to bring a slice of London's street food magic to the city's streets. That food truck energy has carried through as the brand has grown into an "awesome crew of burger fanatics" now serving flavours in neighbourhoods all over New Zealand, including this Christchurch location.

RE Burger's menu leans heavily on Dunedin heritage, with many burgers named after the city's streets and royal references — George, King Ed, Queen and more, described as a nod to the city that's been with the brand since day one. The team is particular about ingredients, sourcing daily milk buns, 100% pure beef patties and quality chicken from local suppliers, and both the beef and chicken served are Certified Halal.

The menu spans beef and chicken burgers, hearty signature stacks, smaller "slammer" burgers at three-quarter size, vegan and vegetarian options, tender boxes, loaded fries, kids combos and hand-scooped sundaes — giving the Shirley location the same full RE Burger lineup found across the chain's growing footprint.

RE Burger Shirley: Handcrafted Burgers in Richmond, Christchurch

RE Burger Shirley carries forward a story that began with a single food truck in Dunedin, where the brand's founder set out to bring a taste of London's street food scene to New Zealand. That grassroots energy caught on quickly, and RE Burger has since grown into a nationwide crew of "burger fanatics" serving up flavours in neighbourhoods across the country, with this Christchurch location part of that growing footprint.

A Menu Rooted in Dunedin

Many of RE Burger's signature items carry names tied to Dunedin's streets and royal references — George, King Ed, Queen, and more — described by the brand as a nod to the city that's been riding with them since day one. The lineup spans classic beef burgers like the Cheeseburger, Famous Castle and Legend, through to bacon-loaded options like the Sticky Bishop and Royal Big Smoke. For those after something bigger, the Signature Stacks — Icon, Classic, Pitmaster and Renegade — are available in double or triple beef patty formats.

Chicken, Slammers and Beyond

Chicken burgers get equal billing, with options ranging from the straightforward Queen Chick through to the bacon-and-pineapple King Ed and the Bang Bang-sauced Regent Red. For smaller appetites, the Slammer Burgers offer the same big flavours at three-quarter size, served on soft slammer buns — including options like the Lil'Cheese, Charboy and the vegan-friendly Katsupreme.

Built for Plant-Based Eaters Too

RE Burger's Vege Burgers range covers genuine plant-based options rather than an afterthought, including the Cauli Crush made with crunchy fried cauliflower and honey buffalo sauce, a Southern fried halloumi Rehab burger, and two Impossible™ 'Beef' options — the Great King Impossible and Smokehouse Impossible — both made with Nudairy cheese. Vegan and vegetarian items are clearly marked throughout the menu, and a gluten free or vegan bun swap is available across the range.

Tenders, Loaded Fries and Sides

Beyond burgers, RE Burger Shirley offers Tender Boxes in Original, Louisiana and Supernash flavours, each paired with Texas toast, crunchy fries and secret sauce, with MaxBox versions for bigger appetites. The Loaded Fries menu brings together toppings like smoked bacon, Bang Bang chicken and fried jalapeños across options including BBQ Bacon Fries, Spicy Fries and the signature Holy Fries. Classic sides round things out, including Fries, Kumara Fries, Onion Rings and portions of chicken tenders in Original, Louisiana or Supernash styles.

For the Kids, and a Sweet Finish

A dedicated Kids menu offers combo options like the Lil'Cheese Combo, Lil'Chick Combo, and a Nuggs Combo featuring lightly battered chicken nuggets, each served with small fries and a choice of drink. To finish, RE Burger offers hand-scooped sundaes in chocolate, strawberry or caramel, topped with decadent sauce and whipped cream.

Quality and Care in Every Burger

RE Burger is particular about sourcing, using daily milk buns, 100% pure beef patties and quality chicken from local suppliers. Both the beef and chicken served across the menu are Certified Halal, and the brand's secret REsauce is described as a flavour bomb perfected over years — face drips included.
