Head on down and try out there 3072 Burger with some shoe string fries. Another amazing fact about Chew is that it is right next to the Racoon Bar, and patrons often pop next door to pick up a burger before returning to having some drinks with friends. The Staff are really nice at Chew and the turn around is really speedy. But getting back to the Burgers, just check out the photo attached to this review. If that doesn't make you want to eat a burger then I don't know what will.

Honestly, I generally can't handle too many hamburgers though they have some great other options, such as the loaded fries - I tend to go for the chilli ones, though the HSP, which is twice the size as the other loaded fries, is also a pretty cool option. Oh, and I should mention the excellent customer service, but that probably has something to do with us being regulars now.

The prices weren't too back, neither were the burgers, but it really didn't jump out at me as some of the other places that I have been too. Still, it is better that some of the fast food joints, but that isn't hard to do.

Think: In and Out meets Shake Shack. There's over the top versions with truffle mayo and mac n' cheese croquettes, but I prefer to keep it simple with a single stack burger and the addition of jalapeños. What sets Royal Stacks apart from other local burger options is the service and the environment which lends itself well to family and friend groups eating together. Large table configurations as well as smaller ones for couples. A staff member welcomes you and helps you find a table and another will pop past during the meal to ask how everything is going. It's a small extra that's totally unexpected in what is otherwise a fast food-esque experience (order and pay at the counter, collect your tray when ready) but it does make everything just that little bit nicer especially when there's kidlets in your group.

It seems that the closer you get to the city the better the fish and chip shops become. Anyway, I…read morespied this place as I was wondering around Northcote and decided to check it out, if only for the chips (which is the main reason that I actually go into fish and chips shops - to find out who makes the best chips), Anyway, unlike a lot of the shops out in the suburbs, this one you can actually sit inside and have you meal, which I think is a real bonus because sometimes you simply live too far away to be able to actually enjoy your chips. As for the chips, they were all that bad, and the fish they had on offer was pretty nice as well (as were the Dim Sims, the other thing that I like to grab when I visit a fish and chip shop). So yes, this place was pretty nice, and it made some pretty decent chips as well, so I'd be happy to give it another shot.

Everything arrived in reasonable time and hot and well packaged. On the negative side though, the potato cakes were slightly hard. The batter was lovely but the hardness in them was immensely worrying and close to unforgivable. Others said the dim sums too weren't quite cooked but mine tasted ok. It's a bare pass only unfortunately because of the sub par cakes.

It was a breezy afternoon but I could still detect the smell of rancid fat from quite some distance from the shop. I'm not joking. Despite the breeze the unhappy aroma still hung very heavy in the air. I gulped. I approached with trepidation and noted that the offending aroma was unsurprisingly more pronounced in the cafe. I asked politely for a coffee but received the not unhappy news that the coffee machine had broken down and no coffee could therefore be made. So, my visit was completely wasted. But, it's not all bad, I reckon. This is not a well run operation on what I saw today. We're all familiar with that expression "dodged a bullet". Phew!

Social media and their pictures of beautiful milkshakes led me to poking around the internet which…read morefurther led to a drive to Campbellfield. What I met there changed everything. The set up is different, and like as if they took a tip from the whole food truck craze. You order outside from a fixed stand and take a number to sit either indoors, or in their outdoor seating area. The indoor section has a playpen for the kiddies and wood panels surrounding the wall. There's a steady stream of people, which I always take as a good thing. The first visit was strictly a milkshake mission. The Ferrero Rocher was perfect and complete chocolate hazelnut, not a let down. The Creme Brulee was good too, but I wish I ordered the Ferrero Rocher. Both were thick, but not too thick, just a really good consistency. And sweet, but not too sweet. The second visit involved going all out with their menu choices: a herb crusted chick burger, Raffaelo shake and waffle cheese fries. And all I can say is whoa. This meal is not meant for one. There's no way. I was happy with everything, but it was so overwhelming to try and finish everything. The chicken burger was a handful on a lovely Sourdough bun, and had a rich Alfredo sauce. The waffle fries were yummy but had a thick and heavy three cheese sauce. The shake was beautiful and just like liquefied Raffaelo, which is exactly what you'd want it to be. It was a learning experience, next time would be one or the other (burger vs waffle fries), the shakes are a must. Or maybe I'd split the burger and still have the shake and fries. I'm not sure, but what I do know is that I won't do all three at once again. Plus side: open til 11pm on weekdays and midnight on Friday & Saturday.

It's always ideal for us to find burger places that are not too far away from home, so we headed to…read moreCampbellfield for lunch the other week to visit Burgies. It is easily accessible via public transport, with a bus stop close by. We were a little confused upon arrival as there is a burger track situated at the front - so we thought that Burgies might have been a burger truck and not a 'dine in' kind of experience... but we soon realised that they had both indoor and outdoor seating, and the truck was there to take orders. We were greeted by a friendly staff member at the truck, and all the staff members we encountered there were very hospitable and sociable. We both ordered 'The Lava' burger with an added patty, waffle cheese fries with added avocado, and gelato thick shakes - one being Strawberry Cheesecake and the other Ferrero Rocher. Price wise they stack up pretty well against their competitors. Their most expensive burger is $12.00, and to add-on a beef patty only costs an extra $2.50 - which is amazing value! They have a range of burgers including beef, chicken, lamb and vegetarian options. Their shakes and sides were around average price. We were given a restaurant pager, and then took a seat inside. The venue is really great! We loved the set up, and we loved the use of the crates on the walls which tied in with the industrial area. It has a modern interior, and even had a play pen for kids which we thought was a great idea for families that visit! It wasn't long before our pager went off, so we went and grabbed our food. Everything looked delicious, and we were particularly excited about the waffle fries. They tasted scrumptious! Lovely and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The avocado and cheese sauce went really well with them, and the serving size was definitely decent. 'The Lava' burger was really yummy too! The patty was spicy, which we did not initially realise, but it was enjoyable. The tasty cheese, egg and caramelised onion tasted really nice together, and the lettuce gave a bit of refreshment to break down the spiciness and warmth. We quite enjoyed the mild-peri sauce too! The shakes were thick and creamy, and conveniently given in take-away cups. We were impressed by the overall location, service and food at Burgies - and highly recommend that you check them out.
