Ideal for those craving bold, inventive dishes, Burger Bach stands out with its diverse menu that stretches beyond the ordinary burger joint into an inspired culinary destination.

The culinary experience here is undeniably memorable, starting with their lineup of burgers that brim with creative flair and bold taste combinations. Take, for instance, the Koha Burger, featuring a black bean patty dressed with curried honey Dijon, crisp lettuce, grilled pineapple, tangy pico de gallo, and fresh cilantro sauce—a harmonious balance of sweetness and spice that awakens every bite. For seafood lovers, the Black & Blue Tuna burger shines with blackened ahi tuna complemented by blue cheese and a wasabi aioli that delivers a smoky, savory punch with a gentle heat. The French Chicken Burger carries warmth through manuka honey mustard, grilled apple slices, turkey bacon, Brie, and caramelized onions, combining comfort and sophistication. Meanwhile, the Wanaka Chicken Burger entices with creamy avocado relish, adding smoothness and freshness.

But it’s the fries that steal the show according to many patrons. With options like the Large Fry served alongside a choice of two dipping sauces or the indulgent Pimento Cheese Fries smothered in pimento cheese, bacon, and vibrant pickled red onions, these golden delights are nothing short of addictive. Customers rave about the sauce sampler as well, particularly the blueberry BBQ that offers a unique fruity tang, the garlicky aioli that lingers with a robust punch, and the roasted jalapeño remoulade which provides a satisfying spicy kick.

Complementing the main dishes, the sides are equally thoughtfully crafted. The Bach Mac, for example, blends creamy macaroni and cheese enriched with pimento cheese, smoky bacon, and a hint of adobo, sprinkled with fresh cilantro—comfort food elevated to an art form.
