About Burger Road - Hawthorn

Burwood Road’s go-to for hefty, structurally sound burgers packs serious griddled beef, crisp fried chicken, and specialty buns that never collapse. Melburnians drop in for everything from the balanced Plain Jane to the towering Sheriff—stacked with thick beef patties, truffle mayo, and sliced chilli cheese kransky. Kitchen hands turn out orders fast enough to beat the tram out front, dishing up seasoned potato gems, crunchy sweet potato chips, and crumbed mac 'n' cheese croquettes with molten centers. Thick Oreo and OMG milkshakes round out the counter-order feed.

  • Specialty Buns & Sturdy Builds: Buns hold together without turning soggy, spanning novelty squid ink and beetroot alternatives.
  • Stacked Hybrid Proteins: Selections pair 150g beef with fried chicken or sliced chilli cheese kransky under melted cheese.
  • Indulgent Sides & Shakes: Crumbed mac 'n' cheese croquettes and crisp sweet potato chips balance out giant OMG shakes.

  • Decadent Croquettes & Shakes

    Beyond burgers, the venue serves indulgent thickshakes, waffles, and oozy crumbed mac 'n' cheese croquettes.

    Never before have I seen the cheese so oozy (it must be a cheese sauce?), the mac soft and suitably sized, and the outside crumbed and crunchy.

Signature house burgers crafted with juicy patties and unique flavor combinations

  • Burger Rd Special

    I ordered the Burger Rd Special, and it was one of the tastiest chicken burgers I've had in a long time. The lemon and herb chicken was incredibly flavorful, perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked just right.

  • Plain Jane burger

    All of that changed the moment I bit into Burger Road's Plain Jane burger for the first time. The deceptively airy bun, the seasoning and juiciness of the patty, the cheese and the lettuce all blended to create an exquisite harmony of textures of flavours that managed to topple that high bar.

  • sheriff's burger

    I tried the sheriff's burger straight off the menu without add-ons. Usually only a fan of smashed patties these 150g patties were juicy, flavoursome and cooked perfectly pink. The addition of chilli cheese kransky and truffle mayo definitely made me a fan.
