You’re the Burger to My Fries – 4 Joints for the Best Burgers in Town

Burgers are one of the most iconic American meals on the planet and for good reason, did you know there is a Hamburger Hall of Fame in Wisconsin, USA?

Seymour is home to this institution which honours individuals and restaurants that have made significant contributions to the burger industry, such as Carl Karcher, founder of Carl’s Jr, and Richard McDonald – yes that McDonald’s founder.

Whatever is your favourite burger, you can find it at a joint somewhere around the country…here are four venues for the best burgers in town:

The namesake of a venue in Mississippi, head to cool and intimate Pappy’s Bar on Erskine Street in Sydney’s CBD for American-style burgers, tacos and cold beer. Embracing a new era of hospitality, Pappy’s proves the Roaring 20s are back with a bit of a twist; spread out over a three-level terrace with laneway seating, bring your date, work friends, or best mates for the best experience possible.

 

Get started with mozzarella sticks and tomato relish, or onion rings and Comeback sauce; then wrap your mouth around gourmet burgers such as the American – beef patty, bacon, American cheese, butter lettuce, grilled onion, pickles, mustard, ketchup and mayonnaise.

Discover Torquay’s burger experience like no other at Gypsy Burger on Zeally Bay Road. Originally born as a food truck, this Great Ocean Road dining destination and catering business lives in a beautiful sun-drenched spot opposite Taylor Park with market umbrellas alfresco for soaking up rays on balmy days.

 

Indoors rocks an eclectic vibe with cartoon-style murals, recycled timber and potted greenery as guests peruse a concise menu, perhaps enjoying a chilli Margarita and specials such as a soft-shell crab burger, while vegetarians salivate over a smashed falafel burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, coriander, hummus and garlic sauce.

‘If it ain’t fun, it ain’t worth doing’ is the ethos behind burger bar on the Heathmont block, Hey Sister on Canterbury Road. Wanting to deliver great food, provide values and contribute to the community, this fast-food joint combines the elements of different culinary traditions and incorporates them into gourmet fusion burgers.

 

Vibe, connect and have fun with family and friends while perusing an extensive menu delivering choices for carnivores, along with vegetarians and vegans; think burgers like Two Face Sly – beef, Panko-crumbed chicken, double cheese, pickles, jalapeños and sweet mayo - or Sea Sick Steph with fried whiting, cheese, lettuce, red onion, cucumber, aioli and BBQ sauce.

Great buns make great burgers at Joe’s Milkbar on Russel Street in Albion Park. Nestled inside Albion Park Shopping Village, this burger joint is well-loved for its housemade buns and doughnuts, along with loaded fries and chicken tenders. Rise and shine, it’s coffee time – stop by for an early morning caffeine fix, or dine later in the day in surrounds of whitewashed timber, tiled floors, glowing bulb lighting and potted greenery.

 

Let the Americano satisfy ravenous hunger with double smashed patties, double cheese, bacon, caramelised onion, pickles, lettuce, tomato and burger sauce; or chow down on a Sunny P – chicken schnitzel, cheddar, bacon, pineapple and mayonnaise – with sides of loaded voodoo poutine chips, or cheesy bacon fries.
