About BAM Street Food

BAM Street Food smashes beef patties paper-thin to deliver crisp, caramelized lace edges that burger devotees cross town for. Tucked away in Altona's Harrington Square, this casual spot pairs juicy smashed beef and Nashville-spiced chicken tenders with house sauces like the smoky-sweet maple-mustard MMM blend. Out back, a rustic courtyard featuring bench seating and a kids' chalkboard offers plenty of room to unwind over battered onion rings, loaded potato gems, and thick milkshakes.

  • Caramelized Smash Patties: Patties are pressed ultra-thin on the grill to create signature caramelized crispy edges while keeping the beef juicy.
  • Family-Friendly Courtyard: A relaxed outdoor backyard area equipped with picnic-style seating and a chalkboard keeps kids entertained while families dine.
  • Scratch Sides & Shakes: The menu extends beyond burgers with Nashville spiced chicken tenders, loaded potato gems, battered onion rings, and thick shakes.

  • Crispy Battered Rings and Loaded Gems

    Complementing the smash burgers is a lineup of seasoned sides, including crunchy onion rings and loaded potato gems.

    onion rings were everything they should be, perfectly crisp, not oily, and really tasty

  • Flavor-Packed Nashville Chicken Tenders

    Beyond beef, juicy chicken tenders coated in Nashville spice bring layered heat and texture to the menu.

    I honestly could not believe what I was tasting and how it was even possible to get so much flavor and juicyness into that chicken.

  • Double Truffle Burger

    Double smash patties (thin, crispy, those lattice edges were the stuff of dreams), a proper hit of truffle aioli, 4 types of cheese melting into each other, smoky-sweet caramelised onions, and potato straws for extra crunch.

Before you head over

Practical timing, seating, and arrival tips for your visit to Harrington Square.

  • Arrive early to avoid sold-out beef

    Beef burgers can sell out late into the evening, and busy nights can involve longer ticket times since food is made to order by a small kitchen crew. Arrive earlier in service or plan for lunch if you have your heart set on signature beef patties.

  • Grab a table in the backyard courtyard

    If you are bringing children or catching up with a group, head through to the spacious outdoor backyard courtyard. The relaxed outdoor area offers picnic seating and a chalkboard to keep kids occupied while meals are prepared.

  • Free parking and transit across the street

    Located in Harrington Square directly opposite the train station, the venue has ample free square parking. Look for the big gum tree along the shop row to easily spot the shop entrance.
