I originally had my heart set on a local favourite, but the universe clearly had other plans (probably hungry ones), and it dropped me right here. Best. Detour. Ever.
This place serves one of the best smashed burgers in Melbourne, no exaggeration. It’s top tier, simple, juicy, and straight-to-the-point delicious. No gimmicks, no fluff, just a burger that knows exactly who it is.
The owner and staff? Absolute legends. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you, even if you’re the type to overthink lettuce.
Speaking of which, if I could change one tiny thing, it’d be swapping the shredded lettuce for a proper leaf. I like my lettuce like my deadlift; strong, consistent, and not falling apart mid-bite.
