Too Fat Buns - Matiatia New Zealand

Finding a table at an Oneroa cafe during the summer holidays can be quite the challenge. The seaview dining strip is prime real estate, and often characterised by full tables and long queues. To skirt this problem, we visited Too Fat Buns for a spot of lunch, as it's tucked away from the main road. It's got a fun vibe, but there's not much of a dining area so I would definitely recommend that you take away your order. In terms of the grub, the burgers are fairly solid, if somewhat pricey for what you get. I added blue cheese to my vege burger and it was a welcome addition. The aioli that comes with the chips is punchy, just as an aioli should be, and the shake a brain freezingly good whack of thick chocolatey goodness. Come for comfort food, leave with a full belly.

Quality beef patties. Always hits the spot. The aoli and chips never disappoints

Too Fat Buns. For starters love the name. I indulged myself into what was called the 'man bun. ' Although it was quite tasty I still think the burger was a bit overpriced. The burger was cooked well but it was not as satisfying as I was hoping after a long day of drinking wines around Waiheke island. Would go here again and give this place a second try though!

Ordered the chicken/bacon burger, fish burger and fries. All I can say is these are the BEST burgers I have had in New Zealand! They take their time to make these gorgeous gourmet beauties (15 20 mins so be patient it will definitely pay off :

Good burger place on waiheke island. Has a fresh urban feel to it, but many seats inside so be prepared to take away.....but hey is waiheke who wants to be inside anyway. We had the venison and a fish burger. The burgers were juicy and tasty without the filling and sauces being too wet and sloppy. Both burgers were freshly made with fresh ingredients and buns. The place is a bit hidden down a row of shops but if burgers are your thing then it's worth finding this place.
