I got a miso mushroom halloumi burger and it wasn’t bad. I enjoyed the sauce and the halloumi was nice and charred. However, the bread was a bit too toasted for my liking. A slightly less dry bread would be nice, but to each their own perhaps. However, my bread wasn’t nearly as bad as my partner’s BBQ bacon cheeseburger! The bun was too toasted - the texture was unpleasant to eat (hard, crunchy and drier). And the burger pattie was not big/wide enough for the bun. You had to get a mouthful of only bread before you reached the pattie. And his chips serving looked quite small. We compared it to a companion who had bought the same burger and his quality seemed better. Even the chips serving looked more rewarding. The varied consistency is disappointing, between the same meal, as well as different meals. It would also be nice if they had a place for us to get our own water. I think overall, given the price of the burgers, the quality for all the burgers coupled with the lack of consistency was a bit disappointing. It wasn’t terrible but I would recommend avoiding the cheese and bacon burger. Plenty of people and families were there too, and nice and clean bathrooms.

The worst burger I've actually ever eaten in Australia. Can't speak for the beer as I didn't try any. The bun was toasted to a rock like substance, and the meat was horribly overcooked into a grey mess. Chips were decent. Probably excellent beer just avoid the food, expensive and awful!

Enjoyed it. Great vibe, very modern and relaxed decor. Liked the beers but none was especially memorable. The food was OK, really excellent sweet potato chips. The kids menu meal is tiny, OK for a five year old, way too small for a 12 year …
