“ 10/10, highly recommend! Best burger we've had in NZ so far. Little pricey, but worth it!! We tried the MacDaddy and Oklahoma smash. Both were amazing. Good bun to beef ratio, great flavor, not too much sauce. Fast service and a cozy fire to eat by. Can't ask for much more! Definitely stop by and have a burger! ”

“ Honestly the best burger we’ve had in NZ! Had the Kumara fries( sweet potato) Drove into town after a 6 hour drive/hike day from Franz Joseph! We were starving and looking for a casual dinner. You can take your burger and sit at the sports bar that has a wood fire burning fireplace! Perfect end to our day! ”

“ A very unassuming food cart tucked in an alleyway. However, it has some of the best smash burgers I have had in a while. The burger sauce they used, also delicious. Fries were shoestring and crispy, couldn't ask for much more than that. Highly recommend visiting here. ”

“ Amazing food, nice and fresh! Atmosphere nice and relaxing, with fires going. Maybe an extra staff would go alright with ordering or cooking the volume. ”

“ I recently dined at Ya Ma's Burger Place in Wanaka and tried the Oklahoma Smash. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The burger featured a perfectly seared patty, which had a delightful char and juicy interior. The combination of flavors was impressive, with smoky barbecue sauce complementing the savory meat, while crispy onion rings added a satisfying crunch. The fresh toppings—crisp bacon and tangy pickles—were generously layered, ensuring each bite was full of texture and taste. The bun was soft yet sturdy enough to hold everything together, making it easy to enjoy without a messy spill. The atmosphere at Ya Ma's is laid-back and welcoming, perfect for a casual meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The they did mix up my order with an other burger but they were quick with the correction making a fresh burger straight away. Overall, the Oklahoma Smash is a standout choice for burger lovers looking for bold flavors and quality ingredients. I highly recommend Ya Ma's for anyone visiting Wanaka; it's a must-try for a satisfying and delicious burger experience. ”

“ Seriously good burgers! I had the Mac Daddy Smash with the kumara fries and my husband had the Oklahoma Smash with shoe string fries. Both were fantastic. Super casual atmosphere with outdoor seating (with covered areas) and you can grab a drink at the bar next door too. ”

“ My paramour and I ordered from here a few nights ago. Plenty of options to do this: by phone, online ordering (Delivereasy, uber eats), but we decided to take a drive and order in person. Easy to locate, a well-lit food truck in the same alley as The Cow and other interesting dining establishments. I chose a karaage chicken style burger that I can’t find on the menu, it had bacon and cheese and some typa fused sauce - fabulous. I ate the whole thing. Bacon was immaculate. My man got the Old Blue Eyes and said something a man would say about a good feed, “yeah, nice” and then itched his beard. Told they were out of kumara fries, got one side of shoestrings instead. They were beauties. I was keen on shoestrings (probably because I always overcook them) but these guys just *chefs kiss*. Came with a little of classic kiwi T-sauce as well. Cheers boys. Service and greeting from staff was… hmm, efficient. I might have taken a coveted star each from atmosphere and service for the lack of toothy grins and high pitched “hiya guys!”, but IN ALL FAIRNESS guys, my bf looks very grumpy naturally and I don’t like making eye contact. The order was quoted to take about 15 minutes so we took a stroll to Night and Day and came back, more on that later… Overall a lovely experience, enjoyed that dinner very much, thank you, Ya Ma’s! ”

“ Ordered the Karaage smoke show and Karaage loaded fries! So good I had to come twice in 3 days whilst here in Wanaka! Up there with one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! ”
