The burgers, chips and potato scallops are fantastic. The fish tends to be hit and miss.

The burgers always taste fresh and have good salad. I usually get the hamburger with cheese and bacon, and it is a little bit of heaven after a long day.

Chips and potato scallops are almost always well cooked, and with just the right amount of salty goodness.

We've been going there for about 4 years now.

Approximate cost: $10

I don't know if they have new owners but the burgers I used to get from here were pretty good BUT the seafood has always been terrible. The sea scallops were like rubber and the fish was cheap imported rubbish that was dry and horrible

I agree burgers and scallops good but I'd give the fish and other seafood a miss. I've heard they serve Basa and other cheap fish and pass it off as cod, snapper and their other fish. It's actually a well known trip in the industry. The piece I had would have definitely been a basa or somet other gutter fish. I'm glad I only bought one piece and the other seafood tasteless rubber , I'll stick to the good places down the coast.

I was in the area to get food from another place, but they weren't open. I was in a bit of a hurry, so I didn't want to wait the fifteen minutes until they did open, so I thought I'd give these guys a try. The sign out the front said "Best Burgers In Town", which I always take as a challenge.

First impressions were good. The first thing that caught my eye was how clean everything looked. Where you'd normally expect to see a hot box, all the food was on display, so you know exactly what you're getting. The next thing that caught my eye was the sign saying "No EFTPOS". I always get irritated when I see this sign - not having EFTPOS for your business in the 21st Century is like not having a website, or an email address. That's just my opinion.

I ordered their Burger with the Lot, Chips and Can of Coke for $10.50, which seems a touch expensive to me, and the price-point seems odd ($10 would be a better price point - folding money, no change, especially with no EFTPOS), but they're the best burgers in town, right?

A couple of people have ordered in front of me, so I take a bit of a wander while I wait. I come back as the people in front of me are leaving, and after a few minutes they call out the number before me, which is odd, because those guys just left. The guy behind the counter asks what number I have, and I tell him, and it turns out that he's given my order to the other people, so he has to remake my order. That's pretty much how he says it. No sorry. No checking if that's fine with me. No offer to make things right, just a simple statement telling me that he'll remake it for me.

Finally, when it's ready, I head home. The chips are hot and cooked properly, which is what you'd expect, and perfect for munching on in the car (they are wrapped individually, not put in a box with the burger, so it makes eating them on the go easier). I get home and open the burger and I'm pretty unimpressed. It's a burger with bacon, egg, cheese, beetroot, lettuce and onion (as well as the meat pattie), on a slightly fancy roll. When you take off $2.50 for the chips, $2 for the drink, that makes this Burger $6 (if you assume the meal deal has no discount). Definitely not worth the price, when you consider I've had better burgers with fresher ingredients for less than this.

The real icing on the cake was after I'd finished the burger, and was getting ready for work, I got violently ill.

I'll never eat here again.
