    Would you like some content to go with your sauce? Okay, ordinarily that may be a sly remark, but this is a compliment in the realm of vegan dining. At 99.9999% of places my vege burger is a sad, dry, stale tower of disappointment. At Wise Boys the sauce is delectable and impeccable and remarkable and unforgettable and -chefs kiss- it almost erases my sad dry vege burger experiences from my memory, and promotes me to feel like a valued customer with functioning taste buds. Because, vegans, like the non vegans, enjoy enjoyable food. My experiences here confirm to me that vegans need to stick to vegan food places because they know what we want, like nobody else does! My foodtography does not do the food justice, the burgers are beautiful in a rustic way. An honourable mention to the side dishes too. The unphotographed onion rings in particular might have lasted a solid minute before we devoured every last intoxicating morsel.

    Yummy 🍔! I ordered 3 bad boys from the Wise Boys. • Spicy Buffalo Fried Chicken 👍🏽 • Spicy Mex 🫤 • Hungry Jack fave 🤤 • My reaction summarised with the emojis ha ha • They were massive in portions, but really good flavoured plant based vegan burgers in Auckland 🙌🏽

    I write this as I hold a delicious, juicy, crispy buffalo chick’n burger and feel the need to proclaim this an all round wicked burger. Vegan or otherwise, this is one of the best burgers I’ve had in recent memory, and we try a lot of burgers! Thanks team, great feed!

    Saturday burger and lunch. All options are vegetarian and vegan. The staff were not near as fun as those that work at the Henderson branch however the food was still on point. The price is more on the pricey side however if you are looking for a fantastic vegan burger this is where it's at. Forget burger fuel, and skip past the sad excuse at BK and McDs (not vegetarian) this is the best company (in my opinion) for vegan/vego burgers. Note they have a few branches with various opening hours. There are also specials, so check out the menu for new items if you are a frequent burger buyer.

    So glad I went to Wise Boys for trying the burgers. Definitely one of the best plant based burgers I have ever had. Being a fan of beef and lamb burgers, I must say I was really impressed and full with the burger. I ordered the dirty boy burger and mate of mine ordered the spicy mex. We found our burgers to be delicious and really well made. The onion rings were okay. The pricing is pretty good as well.

    I've had multiple burgers from Wise Boys and they have all been EXCELLENT! The fries are great too and so is the vegan aioli. I used to order from LOTF regularly, but the quality there has gone severely downhill so Wise Boys are now fulfilling my burger cravings...and guess what? Unlike most vegan burgers, you don't feel heavy and gross afterwards!!

  • 5/5 Rana C. 1 year ago on Google
    Always amazing burgers and great service! Love Wise Boys, I visit everytime I am in Auckland! The best vegan burgers/best price for sure! Also, great 'milk' shakes too, highly recommend, you'll definitely become a regular ❤ So divine 🙂

    I absolutely love Wise Boys, don’t get to eat from there so much now that I live out west but still do at every chance I get. It’s great to have an entirely vegan burger place and everything on the menu is excellent. Service is always polite and within a reasonable timeframe and pricing is also reasonable.

    I tried wise boys twice before and I was willing to give another chance. It’s a shame that vegan food in Nz is still on this level. I just had some unbelievable experience overseas eating from three different burger joints (jerrells betr burger , bloom & hart house) and I would easily rate them 10/10 . my husband who isn’t vegan rated the same and was impressed by the quality of bun, cheese, patty and sauces. This quality is just something that the wise boys didn’t try to achieve in these few years running their business. Maybe for the first year you would expect the food needing some improvements, but not seeing any improvements after these many years with so many recipes and alternatives out there , is quite disappointing…. If there are people elsewhere capable of achieving those flavour, I’m sure that a joint that is 100% specialised in plant based burger could put an extra effort to achieve something even better , or maybe this is just the standard for nz vegans. this time I tried the wise boy , buns were dry, patty too thick for a “smash” burg and also very flavourless. Their secret sauce is pretty average and the cheese budget … Anyway, after trying three awesome burgers I was hoping wise boys could do justice , but I’ll stick to my own recipe at home ..

    Vegan awesomeness now coming out of an immaculate kitchen in Henderson! Love it! What more could we ask for?!

    I came by to grab something to eat before a concert. Everything on the menu is vegan. The place isn't very big but does have a couple of tables and a bench by the window looking into the street. I grabbed a dirty boy and some tater tots. I ate by the window and it was nice place to enjoy a meal and people watch. I was also able to get some water while eating in. The tater tots were quite nice, as was the dipping sauce. The burger was tasty. The cheese was interesting since it was more crispy than gooey. The patty itself was a bit crumby and tasted nice with the sauce. It was a nice place to grab a quite and tasty vegan meal.

    Wow, I ordered it in (and got it within 20 mins though it was a massive storm and I was several kms away) and it rocked. I had to pinch myself at the amount of options. Life can be challenging for vegans on the road. Thank you Wise Boys! Didn't even realize I already buy your Aioli!

  • 5/5 CC 9 months ago on Google
    Made for the many that crave a dirty dish more than they probably should. Let me tell you, these burgers are no joke - the amount of flavour these puppies pack will leave you with one happy tum. Inside out and outside in, there were no flaws. Fresh ingredients, the right amount of sauce, squishy buns, making it one flawless burger. Fries were golden. And to drink it all down, a shake thicker than your moms chest hair. Bring along your meat loving friends, and watch their faces melt as they come to learn that this place services 100% vegan deliciousness.

  • 5/5 Selena T. 9 months ago on Google
    Wise Boys is the best! Such a great and extensive menu, really good prices, and great service! Best vegan burger place in Auckland for sure!

  • 5/5 Andy W. 8 months ago on Google
    The Dirty Boy burger was 100% legit, totally recommend. Onion rings were perfectly fine and the coleslaw was tasty and complemented the burger without being overpowering, I'll definitely be back...

  • 5/5 Lance J. 5 months ago on Google
    Love this place! We go there time and time again; they're some of the best burgers I've ever eaten. Their shakes are really good, too! The staff are always friendly, and the service good.

  • 4/5 Lacy H. 5 months ago on Google
    So very sad you changed the chicken classic. I’ve ordered the old sandwich more times than I can count. The new one with the relish and red onion is unfortunately not my thing! :-(

  • 5/5 kikstyotix 3 months ago on Google New
    London visiting. This was one of the best burgers I've had in my life. Get the Dirty Boy burger + onion rings you will not be disappointed!!

  • 3/5 Xena B. 3 months ago on Google New
    Concept and flavor is great, unfortunately service not so much. The "face" of the store was more interested in chatting with his colleagues than acknowledge my presence. When I asked for straws he stated in the bag, which they weren't and was quite patronizing when I went back in, plus he touched the part where your mouth goes. Very different from other staff who have been very professional, even passed us the straws to take out. Think we'll keep walking if the same guy is on the next time we want some Wise Boys.

    First time here, it's vegan burger place. I got Mex vegan burger, and fried cauliflower. My partner got vegan chicken burger. Total bill I paid for our food was $41.00. Bit pricey for my liking but delicious flavours.

  • 5/5 Erin T. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a good range of delicious plant based burgers, sides and shakes - I've never come across a bad order here.

  • 5/5 elizabeth e. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down the best burgers in Auckland. We had the cheese burger, the chicken burger, the loaded fries and cauliflower wings and everything was soo damn good. I'm seriously dreaming about it again. I'd say the cheese burger was my fave, love how the patty isn't some processed fake meat and the sauces are to die for, all the ingredients taste fresh. My boyfriend who eays meat for every meal loved it so much, so impressed we will go back again soon. Need to try the shakes/soft serve! So with the wait after lock down

  • 5/5 Paras S. 3 years ago on Google
    High quality burgers with fresh ingredients and lots of care :) Staff was also very nice and helpful! Definitely coming again

  • 5/5 Olivia G. 4 years ago on Google
    Incredible 100% vegan menu of all different sorts or burgers - found out about this place a few days ago and had to go! Was very impressed with the three burgers my friends and I ordered. Plus got some perfectly cooked fries and onion rings with aioli to die for 🍟🙌🍔 so happy to have found a place dedicated to the art of the vegan burger and totally nailing it!! 💯

  • 5/5 P G. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably the best vegan spot I've been too in Akl. The prices were affordable and the portion sizes were decent. We had the chicken burger and the dirty boy, both were quite filling. The onion rings were also delicious.

  • 5/5 Lenka K. 2 years ago on Google
    On top of our NZ vegan burger list! We've tried lot of burgers all over the country and Wise boys are one of the best. Delicious burgers from healthy ingredients and awesome loaded fries. The staff is very friendly and gave us recommendations. Would definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Scott K. 2 years ago on Google
    This is pretty much our regular Friday night dinner, or any night when it's too late to cook, or if we are in the city and need food now... Great Burgers

  • 5/5 Robyn 2 years ago on Google
    More on the pricier side for a takeout burger but totally worth it.. Delicious! Will be back.

  • 2/5 Euan C. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is great when it arrives. We’ve just had a delivery with an item missing- for the 3rd time. Uber eats have refunded me, but left with hangry child which is really not great. How hard is it to Check the orders before they leave? I was understanding the first time this happened, it’s ridiculous now

  • 5/5 Amy J. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious burgers! Buns were nice and light, really tasty patty and sauces and aoili with chips was delicious! This regular meat eater would definitely return :)

  • 2/5 James M. 2 years ago on Google
    Missed part of my order (Cauliflower wings). I've checked the reviews here and this seems to be a common problem! I'll be honest here... I didnt realise this was a vegan place. So I ordered the lettuce wrapped Chick'n burger without reading the fine print.... I thought calling it Chick'n was like a trademark... nope... disappointed not to have actual chicken. For me the use of chicken or chick'n is false advertising. How about VEGAN chicken, or plant based chicken? As a person who has to keep carb count low for health reasons eating a probably bean based plant alternative is unacceptable. Anyway, good flavors, love the concept.... just miffed that I didn't get what I thought I was getting. Uber eats menu should be clearer

  • 4/5 Darren P. 2 years ago on Google
    So, I've ordered the wise boy (Smash burger), cauli-wings and Onion ring.....I love it! I'm personally not a huge fan of a vegan diet but this is definitely opening my mind up to add a few meals into my regular diet. Staff was very helpful in helping me sort out what I wanted to order... Definitely worth visiting again

  • 5/5 James T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vegan burgers - banofee shake and tater tots are epic too

  • 5/5 Leona T. 1 year ago on Google
    Haven't been in over a year, definitely didn't disappoint. Generous with the aioli on the chick'un burger, and sis had 2 punnets with her fries. All yummo. And berry shake with whipped coconut cream...SO good. Easy parking (just after 1pm, Sunday), plenty seating, floor just a tad sticky (nit picking, lol). Friendly quick service. Chur's!

  • 5/5 Kishor K. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried first time vegan 🌱 burgers, I can’t believe vegan food will be that tasty 😋, will visit this vegan restaurant again to explore more vegan menu ❤️❤️

  • 5/5 Alicea Monique van N. 1 year ago on Google
    I miss the "chicken" burger with sriracha mayo that was on the menu years ago. I like the classic cheese burger at the moment. Great friendly service as always! Thanks!

  • 5/5 Gemma D. 1 year ago on Google
    All I can say is delicious! Have had multiple things from here and none have disappointed. Also love their sauces and use them at home

  • 5/5 Rich T. 1 year ago on Google
    Yum! Fancy a delicious plant based burger? Then this is your place. We’ve had a few of these delivered and really enjoy the Chick’n Deluxe, fries, tots and Banoffee Boy Thickshake! Yum, yum, yum!
