Best Burgers!!!

Stopped in for a late lunch! Highly recommended Swallow - best fish burger I've ever had! The freshest Gurnard, tasty fillings with a lightly spiced sauce! We ordered 3 fish burgers, a Swallow Burger - which also was a huge hit! And the Beef, Bacon...and Aioli! So glad we found this GEM! As per the previous review, I rate this Fish Burger over the Cod Burger at Fergburger!More

Best burgers I’ve had in a long time

Today my wife and I dropped by for lunch. I had the burger with blue cheese and my wife had the swallow burger. The best we have had in a long time. (And way better than ferg-burger in Queenstown I highly recommend. Even better with...a beer in the sunMore

Efficient service and great selection

4 of us came here for lunch and were stoked with our options. Burgers were great and considering there were just 2 people cooking/taking orders and prepping food, for how busy they were they were incredibly efficient. Prices are reasonable and there are so many...great options the hardest part of choosing a burger. We had the a swallow, 2 fish, and a muscle burger. The fish burger was highly recommended and very fresh.More

Fantastic Burger

Stopped here on the way back to our accommodation and ordered 2 swallow burgers which said they came with jalapeño and pineapple but they came with a lot more than that - they were huge and stuffed full of deliciousness. Highly recommend a stop here...if you are on the island and you’d like to try possibly one of the best burgers ever!More

What a feed

Our pilot told us that we had to visit Swallow, or our visit to the Barrier wasn't complete. So we stopped for lunch soon after landing and yep, he was right. Amazing burgers. We were in a group of 8 and the burgers were ready...quick smart. We returned the following day for lunch as well. The only reason we resisted to return for the 3rd day was our plane home had a restricted payload capacity.More
