A Tasty Roundup Of Melbourne's Best Burgers
Melbourne is flipping mad about burgers, and with so many restaurants and cafés to choose from, The Culture Trip enlisted a patty expert to help sort the good from the great. The Moorabbin man behind Burgers of Melbourne has devoured his way through hundreds of burgers and has kindly shared his best buns with The Culture Trip. From the juiciest cheeseburgers to mouth-watering mac n’ cheese and the boldest bacon burgers, this is a tasty roundup of the best that Melbourne has to offer.
1. Demazzi Stone Grill – The Lucky Mac
Restaurant, South American, Australian, Contemporary, Vegetarian
2. Grand Trailer Park – The Atomic
Restaurant, Diner, Australian
Modelled after an American trailer park, Grand Trailer Park is an East Coast-inspired bar and diner on Bourke Street created by Joshua Lefers, with a menu courtesy of Dani Zeini from The Dandenong Pavilion. Sit at a picnic table, in a beach box or a caravan, complete with Hawaiian wallpaper, before ordering off the gluttonous American menu. The Atomic Burger with a beef patty, melting American cheddar, caramelised onion, Chili Cheese Kransky, bacon, BBQ sauce and truffle cayenne mayonnaise served on a toasted brioche bun is highly recommended.
3. Three One 2 One – Kick Ass Mac n' Cheese Burger
Three One 2 One – Kick Ass Mac n’ Cheese Burger
Not for the faint-hearted, the Kick Ass Mac n’ Cheese Burger from Three One 2 One will have you licking your lips as the macaroni spills from the burger into a gooey double cheese landslide. Complementing the pasta is the crack of crispy bacon, alongside fresh lettuce and tomato served between two sesame seed buns.

4. Leonard’s House of Love – Double Cheese Burger

5. Juanita Peaches – Double Cheese Burger
Juanita Peaches – Double Cheese Burger
The man behind Beatbox Kitchen, Taco Trunk, and All Day Donuts brings you Juanita Peaches. Known for its fried chicken, Juanita Peaches also makes mouth-watering burgers including the Double Cheese Burger which comes with two beef patties, double cheese, homemade pickles, diced onions and mustard inside homemade buns. All Day Donuts is located within the same space, meaning that dessert is sorted.

6. Cool Bean Kitchen – Triple C Triple B
Cool Bean Kitchen – Triple C Triple B
Some burgers come with double cheese, but the Triple C Triple B at Cool Bean Kitchen is loaded with double bacon that droops from the burger, tempting you to prod and pick at it for some finger linger action. Aside from the bacon, this burger includes 180 grams of Wagyu beef, plus pickles, caramelised onions and Peri Peri mayo. By far the best burger joint in Moorabbin, Cool Bean Kitchen will quickly convert you into a regular customer.

7. YOMG – The Creeper
YOMG – The Creeper
YOMG is the sound you’ll make after realising that Yo My Goodness has opened its fourth location in Glen Waverly and now serve burgers. YOMG is also the sound you’ll make after biting into their patties. The Creeper is one of their best, as its bursts with 100 percent Aussie Angus triple beef, triple cheese and triple bacon, jalapeños, Sriracha mayo and onion-jalapeño jam. YOMG is also open until midnight on Friday and Saturday to cater to your late-night burger cravings.

9. Royal Stacks – The King
Royal Stacks – The King
Located in the CBD and Brunswick, Royal Stacks has a noble selection of burgers, including the Queen Bee and the Prince Harry; however, it’s The King that is the attention grabber.

If you like your cheese messy, then this is the burger for you. Long live The King.
