Cheeseburger
The cheeseburger arrived without fanfare, gimmickry or a manifesto about ethically sourced pickles. It was simply excellent. The patty was juicy, the cheese properly melted, and the whole thing disappeared with alarming efficiency.
Baggage Claim Philosopher Big Bang Burger
The Big Bang Burger was amazing! Never thought of pineapple and beetroot on a burger would make a great combination but it tasted delicious.
Peter Sawicki Man Burger
The Man Burger is at the top of my favourite Burger List and it has never been dethroned!

I love the Schnity Chicken burger & fries.

Before you head over
Practical advice for ordering and seating across from Flinders Street Station
Plan around limited counter stools
Seating is confined to roughly six or seven outdoor counter stools, so prepare for takeaway during peak rushes or grab a quick street-side perch.
Share the generous fry portions
Portions run substantially large—regular or Canadian chips can easily satisfy several diners, so consider sharing or choosing small sizes.
Have your order ready at the counter
Solo counter staff handle both ordering and collection quickly; decide your burger, sides, and choice of custom sauces before stepping up.
