If you’re after a seriously tasty beef burger you'd be very pleased to meat Cookhouse Burgers. It's dad-approved, fries-endorsed, and a proper contender in the classically built burger game. Their classic beef burger - Pleased To Meat You was genuinely hard to beat. With double everything, it wasn't as heavy as you'd assume and the 100% Australian steak-quality hand-pressed beef patties tasted great. The Tandoori Chicken Burger had potentially for being different but couldn't beat the double-beef combo which was just too hard to top. Even with an extra chicken breast it just couldn't compare to the taste of the beef burger. The sides were a full experience on their own. The Sweet Potato Fries were dangerously addictive and came unsalted, which I loved because I could season them exactly how I like without having to awkwardly ask for the salt container. And the Buffalo & Blue Cheese Chips were another standout with a light blue cheese dip that anyone could easily enjoy. Nothing like the smash-style flavour a few doors down, this joint holds its own but for completely different vibes. It's a more classic burger in a small size shop boasting more so takeaway vibes and worthy of a visit.

We usually go to Le smash burger. They were packed one day so we came down the road here to get a burger instead. Thank god we did! It’s an unassuming place but by far the best FRESHEST burger with the best chips! Staff are lovely and happy to customise any changes to your order.

Great burger spot. Got the spicy chook and it definitely has a kick. Chips are crisp and perfectly salted/seasoned. Staff was lovely too and quick service.
