About Rocket Burgers & Fries Elizabeth Street

Right across from Flinders Street Station, this hole-in-the-wall slings honest, late-night CBD comfort with zero culinary pretensions. Squeezing onto one of the few footpath stools gives you a front-row seat to the city's commuters while gripping a paper-wrapped parcel. The kitchen skips fancy gimmicks, turning out smash patties blanketed in melted cheese, tangy herb-spiced mayo, and crunchy pickles on soft buns. Night owls dropping by at 2 AM pair their burgers with generous buckets of crunchy salted chips and dip into an extensive roster of custom sauces—from house aioli to rich gravy.

  • No-Nonsense Smash Burgers: Juicy smashed beef layered with melted cheese, pickles, and tangy herb-infused rocket sauce on a soft bun.
  • Flinders Street Footpath Perch: A streetside counter perched across from Flinders Street Station with limited stool seating for quick transit dining and people-watching.
  • Late-Night Refuge: Serves hot, filling burgers and loaded sides into the early morning hours for commuters and late-night revelers.
  • Generous Fries & Sauces: Crispy salted hot chips accompanied by an extensive roster of around ten dipping sauces, including garlic aioli.

  • Oversized Specialty Burgers

    Specialty creations like the Man Burger and the pineapple-and-beetroot stacked Big Bang Burger deliver towering, unapologetic comfort food.

    The Man Burger is at the top of my favourite Burger List and it has never been dethroned!

  • Massive Loaded and Shareable Fries

    Generous buckets of perfectly salted fries and loaded Canadian chips covered in gravy and cheese built for serious appetites or sharing.

    The Canadian chips was so huge. All chips were crunchy too despite being covered in gravy and cheese.

  • 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.

  • 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.
