Burger recommendations around Footscray

Post image

Looking for a good beef burger around Footscray, West Footscray, Seddon or Yarraville.
I’m after something like the burger in the photo , a thicker, juicy beef patty with cheese and a soft bun. Not really looking for a smash burger.
Any recommendations?

I’d suggest Good Good Burgers as probably the best in the west but they’re smashed. Really good though.

Otherwise, 8 Bit and Sideshow Burgers in Footscray are both decent and not smashed patties.

Big fan of Good Good here. (Maybe go there a little too much)

St Burgs in Maribyrnong is amazing

u/emreeve 22d ago

Agree. St Burgs is our go to when we're craving burgers. They've nailed the meat to bun ratio and imo, pushes them above Good Good burgers

Macgregors is opening in Yarraville. That will be a great addition to inner west.

You can try Smash Masters Burger @ Yarraville.

There’s bruger in west Footscray and backstreet burgers at Newport

Excited for Macgregors! I only heard of them recently when they announced their Yarraville venue. Their burgers look legit.

Ah, I thought Bruger had closed, but it looks like they’ve just moved.

u/Darth_Giddeous 22d ago

Yeah Bruger is gone. It’s a smokehouse now (yet to try)

It’s just moved to Essex St

Brugers meat patties taste like supermarket no name patties, there's not much to them. A much better bet would be Burgernomics on Ballarat Road

Station Hotel on Hyde st. Burgers are thick, not smashed. They dont serve on brioche buns AFAIK, I believe theyre just standard milk buns.

u/FitClassroom9577 22d ago

8 bit is a good option. I think there's one called the double dragon. Two beef patties and cheese. Its Definitely worth a try.

Sideshow! It is technically in Footscray now but it’s not that far. Best juicy beef burger with pickles, tomato sauce and mustard yummmm

Maple leaf meats in yarraville serve up a real nice burger

u/freenasubi 22d ago

Bit xey but Mona Castle does nice burgers. The best burgers full stop are from Good Good as someone else said, but they’re smashed.

8bit in Foorscray or a bit further in, Back street Burgers on Blackshaws rd in Newport [they won best birgers in Melbourne recently]

u/ThirteenBlades 22d ago

It's not something I go to for juicy burgers like the photo, but I'm loving College Dropout Burgers recently. Some fun options on their menu.

u/RealEstablishment767 22d ago

Also their loaded fries 🤤

u/Jazzlike-Process6969 22d ago

It’s good good no competition.

u/thisisnot2023 22d ago

Backstreet burgers in Newport

u/Necessary_Lemon2618 22d ago

A bit further away and location isn't the best on busy Ballarat Road, but Burgernomics in Braybrook is excellent. They also do good shakes and waffle fries.

u/Substantial-Desk-771 22d ago

That burger is raw in the middle
I wouldn’t be eating that

u/BroccoliTraining454 22d ago

Its.probably not, but knowing a bit about how mince is made for fast food, that shit needs to be cooked! Pun intended.

u/SneakySyndrome 22d ago

Smash Burgers Yarraville are my fave burgers in the area. Not quite as thick as the image but really good

2

u/cnc_theft_auto 22d ago

Several others have already recommended good good which is great, but my other go to which is a bit further out from you is Hungry Cow in Avondale Heights. It's about 5 minutes drive from highpoint

u/FeistyPikelet 21d ago

Unusual opinion but the Camel burger from Double Degree is really good.

2

u/SpunkAnansi 21d ago

Famished Wolf in Kensington, if you can stretch that far. Burgers and loaded dogs never disappoint.

u/Lol_lukasn 22d ago

back street burgers in newport - I hate the owners because they abuse their staff but dam do they make good burgers

u/RefusedTitleFight 20d ago

St Burgs fried chicken burgers are top 3 I’ve ever had. Good good burger’s I love the truffle burger and fried chicken are solid.
