    8Bit burger
    Victoria C.

    8Bit is on par for the best burger I've ever had. The burger itself is really excellent - juicy patty which isn't too thick, good bun, not too sweet & toasted perfectly. You can add patties/cheese & a range of other extras. The burger itself isn't too big & isn't huxtaburger small (sorry for the cheap shot, but come on HB). They also have a chicken burger, a veggie burger & a bunch of hot dogs. The sides are varied with good options - we just had regular fries (they also have loaded & chilli cheese) & potato gems which were both cooked perfectly. Each side comes with a tomato or mayo at no cost & we also got a sriracha mayo which was a hit. The prices are really reasonable & probably on the low side for what a basic burgers & fries in Melbourne usually costs. The fit out of the restaurant & branding is great - the place itself is very small & feels like a get in & get out diner. The staff were really friendly even when the place were packed out. It was really busy the night we went & from what I've heard that's pretty common. We arrived just after 7 & waited maybe 5 mins in line & 15 mins for food which was fine. People don't hang around for long so you can hover & snag a seat.

    Altered beast + fries with bacon

    I don't understand the hype here. Fries with cheese and bacon are quite dried, soggy and not fresh. Altered beast is also average. The design, package and website is very nice but it's not edible :( I prefer build your own burger at McDonalds. Patty is much higher quality and I can choose my own ingredients.

    I am actually not even sure where to start, maybe with the fact that I trekked to footscray for burgers, maybe with the salted caramel milkshakes, maybe all the fries or the actual burgers themselves?!? Oh my gosh the delishiousness was a little over whelming, definitely worth a visit for all burger fans! Huge variety of burgers to choose from, different fries options, they even have potato gems!!! The bun was a perfect mix of soft and crunchy , the meat a perfect pink, bacon crisp to perfection, are you sensing the perfectness? Very busy but the staff are fast and attentive! Make the trip , it is worth it!

    1 cheeseburger, 1 with bacon, salted caramel milkshakes to DIE for and of course enough fries to share!

    It's legit taken a week to come down from the burger high achieved at 8Bit! We went on a Thursday afternoon mistakenly thinking it would be quiet! Not a spare seat in the place + a line of people waiting on take away orders. This didn't put us off at all, why? Because I'd already spotted Salted Caramel Milkshakes on the menu. Considering how busy it was we managed to nab a spot by the window and received our cheese and bacon burgers, chilli cheese fries and milkshakes pretty quickly! The burgers look small in their little packaging... It's all an illusion! There's enough delicious, juicy burger to satisfy even the hungriest beast! Plus the fries are top notch! All by themselves, however the chilli is also D-lish!!! The whole decor is a throwback to great '80's and '90's video games. What's better than being served by someone dressed as Mario and representing the Pacman table number! If I'm honest I could have gone back for more right there and then. Not because I left hungry, just because when it comes to great burgers I'm never satisfied!! Can't wait to get back to devour the tastiest Salted Caramel milkshake of my life and make my way through the great burger and hot dog menu!

    Is this interesting enough for you? My friend from LA "THis tastes like a real American burger. And the cheese... Ah the cheese"

    A real American burger tucked away in the heart of Footscray. The walls are decorated with framed pictures of duck hunt, SUPER NES and it has great atmosphere. The service was efficient and food came out quickly. We ordered the 8bit and bacon and cheese fries. My friend from LA SAYS "the hamburger was da bomb, first bite... Delectable!" I will return when I'm ready to consume another unhealthy American burger. :)

    I occasionally break my no carb rule for a tray of 8-bit grilled goodness. Without trying to rip off a mainstream franchise, the burgers are better here. Like a true glutton I can devour a small size of loaded gems (comes with chilli beef, cheese sauce, bacon, pickle relish, grilled onions, jalapeños) and small onion rings with BBQ sauce. Condiments are a plenty here but the hero is the 8-bit sauce. Don't visit and not try it! Washed it all down with a salted caramel milkshake and regretted it immediately. Ubër sweet. Shoulda saved those calories for dessert since they have a soft serve machine! The bee line to order usually overflows onto the public footpath but they punch out orders pretty swiftly. Simply put, 8-bit is the pride of Footscray.

    A charming restaurant out in the scray. Love their concept and it's been executed well! Seats fill up fast and admittedly there isn't much of it. There's a blank spot out back that could be an opportunity to add more seats. That aside that doesn't seem to bother people and there's always a line out the door for the eager beavers wanting takeaway! I absolutely love their packaging. Cutest things ever! Never thought I'd say a paper cup is cute! The burgers are huge! W had the 8bit (cheeseburger) and Goldenaxe (chicken burger) and we could barely finish them! And if you go for a milkshake don't bother sharing - it's that good :) they need to produce that shiz in bigger sizes....

    All the details were spot on in 8bit. I didn't want to leave!

    These burgers were so greasy and delicious - just how I love mine! Typical diner style and full of calories :D Visiting 8bit was a huge highlight for my boyfriend and I when we were in Melbourne. We're both big video gamers, pop culture nerds and both have 8bit tattoos on our forearms! The decor in here is unreal. I LOVE themed restaurants. I think there should be more of them! I don't know why we ordered the cheese fries - I only had a little bit because I was so full from the burger. They were delicious too! We got there just before lunchtime and so glad we did, the queue was out the door come 12:30pm! We were lucky to find a spot to sit too. That's basically the only downfall of this place, there's not a lot of room and because of it's cult following, the queue is crazy long. Also, PLEASE COME TO SYDNEY. PLEASE!

    2 x 8bit burgers with cheese & onion rings

    Burgers were pretty decent, I had the 8bit with cheese. Good value for money with the burger coming in at $9.50. Worth a look, however there is now a second restaurant in the CBD so you don't need to trek over to the west side. Didn't rate the onions rings, they just tasted like deep fried batter.

    Oh Wow.... Oh Boy.... Oh My God.... The food here is unadulterated HEAVEN on a metaphoric stick. It was my shout so I ordered up a selection of the finest ... a round of burgers, beer battered fries and Extra Choccy Chocolate thickshakes. Everything was just that bit more tasty than what we'd had anywhere else, without being over the top in portion sizes. If there was any criticism it would be the issue of price, and reading most of the other reviews here it seems that price is the factor that dents these guys review wise. But heh, burgers are increasingly coming into mainstream dining in restaurants and these little morsels are in that league, just don't compare them to the cheap cheap food trucks, fish n chip shops or fast food joints.

    I am usually not the one to waste a good meal.. But boy o boy.. The salted caramel shake was just too perfect to be real.. The chicken burger was huge, crisp, and nothing short of perfect. What gave me a real challenge was the beer battered fries with cheese and bacon.. So good. So heavy.. I thought I was gonna explode if I had to finish them. Food aside.. The theme is heavily inspired by 8bit video games and it is no surprise the interior matches it. Overall, I loved the place. If in Melbourne.. Be sure to go out of your way and drop in at 8bit. It will be worth your time.

    No place like it after a hard days work... Stop off for a bite to eat
    Peter O.

    Great staff always smiling and always on point with the food and services After and hard day at work and a late return home it's a blessing to stop off and have a bite before home..... The menu is on point simple and straight to the point and the waiting time is fare and you always get a smile when your handed your food

Well, it was certainly worth the trek because the burgers were acrtually pretty good, as were the chips that come with them. Okay, they don't offer beers with their burgers, but then again that doesn't put me off a place. It also has a pretty decent room out the back where you can also consume your fare as well, which once again is a bonus, especially if you don't have anywhere to take them away to.

Most people only occupy the store for a fraction of a minute; both when they place the order and then when they come back to collect . It's full of busy people who scurry away with their respective take-away back home. Recently I had a 17 minute wait on a basic renegade burger. This was more to so with the guy who came in and collected a massive order- we're talking something so big it could shift the earth of it's axis, due to the concentrated mass. Once he and his around 48 bags of food had left the store, I ate and quickly. The burger tasted pretty good and healthy and slightly above run of the mill, but the bun was very crumbly and seemed to be of shitty bread. I might come back another time, but I won't rush to do so. Good burgers nevertheless and better than a lot, worth checking out if you want take away.

The venue isn't very large, but overall it is set up nicely and maximises the space. There are a couple of tables outside too which is a good option to have. The staff there were really pleasant. We went inside and ordered the 'Supreme burger' with an added beef patty, the 'Bacon Feast burger' with an extra beef patty, bacon and cheese fries, and a vanilla and Nutella milkshake. Everything was reasonably priced, as majority of the pricing was the average of other competitors. We took a seat outside to wait. The shakes were brought out first. Both of them looked amazing - very simplistic in comparison to the crazy freakshakes on the market, but still great. Both flavours were creamy, rich and thick. The Nutella parfait on top of the shake was DELICIOUS. We could not get enough of it. Soon after, the bacon and cheese fries came out. It is a fairly small serving, but just enough to accompany a large burger. They were hot and crispy, and the chips were a thick cut. We loved the cheese sauce and bacon bits. This side was very impressive. Then our burgers followed. They looked great, particularly the 'Bacon Feast burger'. Despite the attractive aesthetic, we were unfortunately left slightly disappointed. The beef patties were cooked well, and we loved the fact that they weren't greasy or heavy - but to us they tasted a little bland, like there was a lack of seasoning and slight dryness. The cheese was melted well, and the bacon tasted nice. The 'Supreme burger' was also a bit of a letdown, having the same beef issue. We were hoping the avocado and aioli could offer some salvage but they didn't. Definitely not the worst burgers we've had, but there was room for improvement in our perspective. We are looking forward to going back to the Burger Business to give them another go, as their staff were great, and their shakes and sides were phenomenal.

Definitely worth a visit if you are from the west…read more The patties are cooked to a perfect pink keeping them soft and juicy and with the burgers ranging from $9-$13 the burgers are a bargain.
