Velvet Burger

Had a double patty beef burger wasn't very impressed. Beef was not very tender, quite stiff reminded me of sausage and felt like it had like lots of filler. Was overly saucy which meant that the bottom bun disintegrated. But sauces were pleasant. Chip serving was massive.

Just a sloppy mess. The patty wasn't even a patty it was mushy slop. The fries were fish and chip shop quality if not worse, no flavor at all. Such a shame because Velvet Burger used to be so good.

Famous burger store in Dunedin. Easy to locate. Beef burger is huge and the sauce is all over the burger. That was just too much for me. There are some tables in the basement. And some outdoor tables available in the balcony. Not easy to park, better park in outskirt and walk here. We didn’t wait too long to get served. Restroom is in the basement and quite clean. Not good for baby stroller.

Are they bad? Not at all. Just not my sort of burger. Patty is too small for the bun, and the bun is super soft and crumbly making them hard to eat. Service is great.

Velvet Burger is nice. I went here with a friend on a '241 Tuesday' promotion that they often run (On Tuesdays).The burgers are a suitable size at approx. 138mm in diameter. The ingredients tasted fresh and the patty tasted authentic. The price when on special makes these excellent value and I look forward to trying more on their menu.Though, I probably wouldn't get this burger at full price.

Grateful for the Tuesday 241 deal! Finally had my first veggie burger ever here, didn't have high expectations but man was I blown away by the animal rights burger!The patty was delish, the accompaniment of veges were fresh and crisp, and as I neared the end of my burger, it was not at all soggy or dripping my gross. The mint yogurtsauce was a great addition to the burger, you could really taste the creamy-ness. Mini version is just as good.The fries here are also pretty good, they were well done and crispy, just how I like them. They could’ve been saltier, and found myself reaching for the salt shaker a few too many times!Beetdrop is a cute little intro to velvet I reckon, and although not the first burger I ever ate from them, I've tried it and it's good. Not much to say, the beef patty is standard and the beetroot is alright, it's a good burger but it's nothing super special that made me go woW'. For the price, probably just indulge in something else a bit more exciting.The goneburger upon first impression was not as big as I thought it be. However it was delish, love a good burger with all the meats (ironic having tried animal rights first Iknow) and all the meats were cooked well. Wasn't majorly blown away by it, but it was a fresh burg.Babe is a goodie too, didn't have huge expectations but upon first bite into the burger, the crumbed chicken breastwasn't dry and it was crunchy and tasty.Luxe bird was a bit of a let down, the fried chicken was dry and not very tasty, and the burger was filled with stringy pieces of rocket making it look very sad andempty when you opened it up. The only positive to this burger was the chili mayo which added a lovely kick, butotherwise definitely not spectacular.Big bro is a great take on a kiwi classic 'kiwi burger' and I knew I was gonna enjoy it. The egg, beef, beetroot and bacon are just amazing paired together. So good, there'salso mushroom and cheese-ultimate yuuumm, can't go wrong with this one, and the beef patty is tender and cooked well, just a little thin in my opinion but otherwisetasty!!Just a note that for someone who's never been a huge fan of bread-the burger buns have consistently been tasty and done to a good standard. I love the speckled look ofthe buns and they're just always fresh and soft.King saddleback is yuuuuum, the pork was real well sauces and paired with the greens, a really fulfilling burger with nice taste and just something perfect to go to if you're not feeling like a typical patty. Enjoyed this a lot!Velvet holds some good memories for me when I was in Dunedin, really got me started on the burger train and the 241 is a steal. I’m in Auckland now and sadly it didn’t give me the mems Dunedin one bought, something but Dunedin velvet or maybe just so key in a student’s life.

I went to dine in at velvet burger octagon, but unfortunately found that their 241 promo was online only. Then went to order on my phone so, and found that they were marking items as sold out online while I could hear them being served to others. Ended up splitting my order buying some online and some in store.From there, our food took about and hour to serve, only for me to find out that they have significantly shrunk the size of their burgers since the last time they were there.The in store staff were polite but unable to fix any of the problems I ran into as it seems like they have no control over any of these systems, and there was nothing there noting that we were getting less food than we were previously used too.Honestly left pretty disappointed

Dunedin is nice, small place and Velvet burger is a place where you want to eat every day. They also have vegetarian meals.

OG BEEF & HOT CHIPS - Recommended food here.The buns were soft, there were plenty of sauce inside and the meat pattie was deliciously cooked, but would have preferred the pattie to be more mince-like texture.The hot chips were cooked perfectly golden and crunchy. The aoili sauce complemented it well.

Always great tasting burgers. Really can’t go to wrong here. Has become a regular visit on trips to Dunedin.2021 update, been a while between visits, but still as great as ever. Chicken burger was amazing
