On Point Waterfront (often just called On Point) in Durban Point is a multi-vendor food court / lifestyle venue with harbour views, and burgers are available there via VB’s at On Point (also referred to as VBs).

It is not a single dedicated “Burger @ On Point” restaurant. Instead, it functions as a shared space with several food outlets, a bar (linked to Durban Brewing Co / craft beer), outdoor seating overlooking the harbour mouth (ships coming and going), and extras like live entertainment, a kids’ area, and pet-friendly outdoor spots.

Burgers & Food Options

VB’s at On Point is the burger-focused outlet. It has long offered breakfasts, toasties, burgers, loaded fries, and snack baskets (wings, nachos, samoosas, halloumi, etc.). Recent venue promotions specifically highlight “VB’s at On Point – Burgers that pack a punch… and so much more!”

Other current/recent vendors (line-up can shift) include:

  • Kaya Chicken (crispy chicken, tikka, bunny chows – often halaal-certified options).
  • Reel Sushi (sushi + seafood like fish, prawns, calamari).
  • Lucci Pizzeria (wood-fired pizzas).
  • Craft beer from Durban Brewing Co.
  • Historically also coffee/cafe options (e.g., Bike and Bean style), Thai, and more.

The overall vibe is casual, family- and group-friendly, with a mix of indoor/outdoor seating, plastic cutlery in some cases (typical for multi-vendor setups), and views that make it popular for lunches, sundowners, or weekend hangs. Reviews often praise the location, variety, and atmosphere more than fine-dining polish; food quality is generally solid for the casual setting, with efficient service noted by many.
