About College Dropout Burgers (Ivanhoe)

Lacy-edged smash patties meet pillowy Martin’s potato buns at this hip-hop-fuelled Ivanhoe joint. Regulars pack the tight shopfront for pop-culture-named staples like the Saint Pablo truffle double, loaded pastrami Reuben burgers, and heavily seasoned chicken fillets paired with house burger sauce. Tables fill fast around noon—grab a carton of seasoned burger fries and a biscoff thickshake to go.

  • Lacy Smash Patties & Potato Buns: Double beef smash patties with crisp lacy edges served on Martin's potato buns alongside spiced fried chicken fillets.
  • Hip-Hop-Inspired Menu: A lively roster of pop-culture names from the Saint Pablo double truffle to the Zuck and Spielburger.
  • Maximalist Fries & Shakes: House fries tossed in nacho-style seasoning, topped burger-style, or paired with thickshakes.

Why Diners Choose College Dropout Burgers

From signature crispy smash patties and massive fried chicken fillets to loaded burger fries and hip-hop themed specials.

  • Expertly Seasoned Smash Patties on Potato Buns

    Smash patties deliver intense crust and seasoning while keeping moisture locked in on soft Martin's potato buns.

    Once I saw “potato bun” on the menu I knew I was in for a treat. For the smash burgers- the meat is salted well and the chicken burger was juicy and seasoned.

  • Crisp, Generous Fried Chicken Fillets

    Fried chicken burgers and tenders feature crispy, herb-and-spice coatings wrapped around juicy chicken fillets.

    The chicken breast fillet I received was massive and seasoned so well that it makes the Colonel look amateur. Crispy, fresh, spicy just straight up wicked!

  • Loaded Burger Fries and Indulgent Sides

    Maximalist sides like loaded burger fries, crispy chips, and thickshakes provide hearty stand-alone comfort.

    The burger fries are a meal by themselves and really do have the Big Mac esque taste you really can’t stop once you start.

  • Layered Gourmet Flavor Combinations

    Specialty creations layer double patties, bacon, burnt pineapple, and custom sauces for distinct flavor profiles.

    First bite - it has a soft crunch, with all the layers of flavour in it — the bread, the bacon, the pineapple, the perfectly cooked beef smash.

  • Hip-Hop and Pop-Culture Themed Menu

    Pop culture, hip-hop music, and witty celebrity tributes shape an engaging dining atmosphere and menu concept.

    Love the naming convention for the menu items. Absolutely genius idea. Very low-key from the outside which doesn't do the restaurant justice.

  • House Fries

    Chips were legit crispy, double or maybe triple fried. Tasty seasoning, reminded me of nacho doritos!

Beyond the menu

Concrete, attentive gestures and operational care that elevate a casual burger stop

  • Proactive Order Interception Across Branches

    When diners inadvertently submitted an order to a different branch across town, the team chased them down before they drove off, liaised with the other kitchen, and prepared their full meal locally in five minutes flat to spare them the cross-town trek.

  • Chasing Down Lost Cash

    After a party accidentally left money behind on their table, floor staff went out of their way to run outside and return the cash into their hands before they departed.

  • Tailored Recipe Recommendations On the Spot

    Counter staff actively suggest custom flavor adjustments on the fly, such as recommending and swapping in double pickles for diners who cannot eat onion.

  • Inclusive Halal-Certified Meat Program

    To accommodate diverse dietary requirements without compromising comfort-food indulgence, the kitchen maintains full halal certification across its beef and fried chicken menu.

Before you head over

Practical tips on seating, dining logistics, and dietary requirements

  • Plan around limited dine-in seating

    With only around six tables and midday rushes that fill up fast, dining space gets tight quickly; consider ordering takeaway or delivery if you are visiting during peak times.

  • Stock up on extra napkins

    Smash patties and loaded burgers come heavily stacked with juices, sauces, and melted cheese, making them deliciously messy—grab extra napkins before digging in.

  • Check out the halal-certified options

    The beef and chicken across the menu are halal certified, making both the smash burgers and crispy chicken fillets accessible options for diners with halal dietary needs.
