"The double smash burger might not look fancy, but it’s juicy, flavour-packed, and absolutely hits the spot. The chicken HSP with Sam’s sauce is loaded with flavour and the chicken’s super fresh and tender. Sam himself brings the energy — always friendly and full of good vibes."

"Absolutely fantastic burgers and service. Staff were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We ordered the Philly Cheesesteak, Southern Fried Chicken Burger, and Double Smashed Burger. The Philly was easily the best I’ve had in Australia. Packed with flavour and perfectly cooked. The chicken burger was juicy and delicious. The foil wrap did soften the crunch a bit with takeaway, so it would be even better fresh or in different packaging. The double smash was great. Not greasy, bun held up well, and the sweet pickle added a bright note, though I’d personally prefer it a little less sweet. Fries and drink combo for $4.95 is excellent value. Chips were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Will definitely be back"
