About Kustom Burgers Thornbury

Kustom Burgers pairs char-grilled patties and Southern-fried chicken with vintage hot-rod diner styling right on High Street. Longtime regulars count on the unpretentious counter setup—patties charred crisp on the edges and pink in the middle, melted cheese, and a sturdy traditional bun built so it won't fall apart halfway through. Automotive memorabilia and vinyl booths frame an open kitchen sending out poutine fries, thick milkshakes, and the blue-cheese-loaded XP Falcon. In the back, a hidden tap bar pulls cold beers and ciders beside chilled glass bottles of Dr Pepper.

  • 1950s Hot-Rod Atmosphere: Car parts, vintage booths, retro memorabilia, and classic video games build an authentic American diner feel.
  • Custom Bun Selection: Guests choose between soft brioche and sturdy traditional buns that keep stacked beef and fried chicken intact.
  • Rear Tap Bar & Sodas: Draft beer and cider pour from the back bar alongside glass bottles of Dr Pepper and Root Beer.

    The chilli dog put my hunger into a suplex and the food referee gave it the 1 2 3 which means my hunger tapped out and left without a championship belt.
