Awesome burgers and snacks here!! They also have a range of unique milkshakes that change all the time! Only downside is there isn't many tables and it gets real busy around dinner time or lunch on the weekend but they do takeaway so no worries! read more

8Bit - Burgers Near Me - Footscray, VIC

Amazing vibe, food and location. This is definitely an up and coming restaurant. Recommended! Absolutely. read more

As an oldschool gamer, this retro-Arcade themed burger joint hits my nostalgia bone. Good burgers, friendly staff and an amazing gaming decor plus a playable arcade cabinet-if you are a 90s kid, this feels like childhood :) read more

Burgers, burgers, burgers oh my. When 8 bit first opened I wondered what the fuss was. I used to scoff and say "who would line up for a hamburger?" Well it seems I would line up for such a juicy delicious burger. Unlike a lot of burger places around they have a fantastic not too big and not too small menu where what they do they do very well. I recommend the 8 bit with cheese and a serve of potato gems. My husband is more a double dragon man with onion rings. Life in my opinion is not worth living without dessert and I would recommend you indulge and get a salted caramel milkshake or look out for the special edition Footscray station jam donut shakes and their soft serve of the day. This place is nearly always pumping and busy so be prepared to wait 10 minutes but my gosh it is worth it. * bit has my current vote for burger joint of the year!! read more

Although this place has marketed itself off perfectly within walking distance from the universities around the Footscray and also it's visually presented nicely, the finishing touch is not what it seems. The burgers are hugely soaked in oil and too rich. It's actually very un fulfilling to the trained palate. Highly recommend for a hang over cure read more

Absolutely love this place, best burgers ever! Good value for money and great atmosphere and look in the restaurant.

Possibly the best burgers in Melbourne, in my humble opinion. Definitely best to head here on an empty stomach, as their food is rich and delicious, and make sure you bring a friend who can help you finish things. read more

The tables were a bit sticky, burgers were amaze balls and milkshake tasted like melted heaven, overall a quick cheap lunch option. Totes worth it. Onion rings were so to die for and chips were lish. read more

This place is so groovey, it reminded me of my childhood at timezone playing games and damn, these burgers are so juicy. All I can say, it is finger licking burgers. read more

I don't think that 8bit are the best burgers ever; however as one of the few and first places where you could get burgers in the area, I'll give it points for that. Also, you can get potato gems! read more

Extremely healthy food and awesome vibes! They have a range different burgers compared to other restaurants.

I don't know how I feel about 8bit, like its good but not that good. I literally never come in when there's line, I don't even think it's worth waiting at all. The burgers are standard, nothing wow at all. I love their snickers milkshake so much, which is the main reason I visit them. But I get it if you don't think it's worth the wait. The food is okay, it's a good idea to come here if you crave for junk food at 10pm but not when u wanna eat good food for dinner. You might as well get burger at Grill'd. read more

Have been coming here for years and always change the 8bit with cheese to a chicken instead of beef without it costing extra, then today the lady tells me that it'll be an extra two dollars from now on, which is absurd seeing as though according to their price list adding an extra beef patty is $4 and a chicken $3.50 so it would actually be saving them money to change it as per my request. Seems like a blatant money grab to me to punish people who don't eat beef. I'll definitely be rethinking where I get my burgers from now on read more

Hits the spot every time. The food here is so fresh and tastes amazing. Any type of hangover can be cured here, promise. The place can get quite busy around lunch so opt for a little later in the afternoon and you're set. The staff are really friendly as well. read more

I don't get what all the fuss is about? The patty in my burger was overcooked and dry, the other flavours in the burger overpowering. Thankfully I didn't have to queue to get served, it would not have been worth the wait read more

Wanting to go this place for ages and wow was incredible.. Burgers are fresh and shakes are great! Price was around $10 and wait wasn't too long read more

The staff are completely incompetent... we ordered a burger no cheese on a gf bun (altered beast) and two Nutella shakes. What was delivered was a salted caramel shake; a wagon wheel shake and an altered beast without the dietary changes... when we returned the order; the blank stare given was absolutely ridiculous ... needs to do so much better read more

I don't understand the hype. The waiter was impolite and the lady who claims to be in charge of the store was rude and arrogant and pushy. The food was okay, but very greasy and unappetizing in appearance. This place gets points for the great tunes but loses points for the service. read more

This food is heavenly. I've had their burgers, chips, and milkshakes. Would extremely recommend the altered beast with chips and a salted caramel milkshake. Although I doubt you can go wrong with anything on this menu. You're missing out if you don't go here! read more

Fun and quirky space. Lovely service. The menu has a few interesting burger options. The milkshakes are great. The chips- not so much. The burgers are kind of too greasy for me here. There are better places out there, but maybe not in Footscray. read more

I had been salivating over visiting 8bit for many-a-month. When I arrived I was suitably impressed - this place has the good in terms of fit out. A super cool interior that somehow isn't out of place in the Footscray surrounds. The staff are super chilled and move through the assembly line with aplomb. The burger itself however was disappointing. I don't think it was my heightened expectations but the bun was meh, the lettuce not crispy, the bacon too fatty and the patty itself not juicy. I don't know if it was a one off but the burger really didn't live up to the hype. Everything else though - amaze. Make sure you try a milkshake or two (hint take up a spot in front of the milkshake station - we got excess deliciousnesses from freshly ordered shakes!). read more

Definitely a great place to go post-hangover. Big heaping serves of greasy burgers and potato gens, hot dogs and just about all the toppings and fixings you can think of. Always seems to be super busy, so I would suggest going when you're happy to settle in for some light lining up action. read more

The burgers are shit hot! Would of given 5 stars but had to wait over half an hour for burger.. Was hank marvin as well.. But yeah decent sized patty.. At some places the burger is that high it may as well be a meat ball.. The burger tasted great.. The salted caramel milkshake.. Addictive.. Can't wait to come back and try the onion rings.. read more

What do you want from a burger joint??? This is fast, cheap, tasty and fun. I doubt you would want much more. I did wonder though, given the age of the customers tonight, I wonder if they got the old gamer references - given that Nintendo consoles were probably out of production before they were born. :P read more

Double Dragon Burger, Salted Caramel Milkshake, Onion Rings: An American review The double - double (see In 'n Out) burger with bacon, pickle, smears of mayo, mustard and ketchup was tasty messy in all the right ways. The milkshake was good but quite 'loose' to the American mouth. The onion rings, using tempura batter, we're unremarkable with the onion taste completely lost in the batter. read more

on my way home from a long day and looking forward to grabbing something on the way through. rang 8bit Footscray to order a pickup in 10 mins and was told they wont accept phone orders but I can download an app and then send it through that. He told me they were quiet at the moment so wait wouldn't be long but when I asked if he could just take phone order this one time, he refused. Cant be bothered to pull over, download an app then send order so I just went elsewhere. I think service like this is just arrogant. read more

Food is great but service was terrible from this one girl with blonde hair. As I walked in she impolitely asked me to walk back to the door and close it. Like what the fuck ? I didn't get any greeting from her either or thank you or anything. I got better service from the cook who handed me my takeaway. She sucked. :~( read more

The burger was good, but nothing to write home about. The location was in the middle of a run-down neighborhood. There's crappy old houses everywhere, and 8bit fits right in, seeing as it's located in a crappy house. It's really loud and noisy. I thought it would be cool to eat there at first, but 5 seconds inside, and we all came to the same conclusion: take away. While we waited, we looked around, and well, let's just say that explains why they don't have any photos on their website. The decor is boring and hipstery. It was basically a crappy building, nothing more, nothing less. The paint was peeling off the walls. Outside, the building was covered in paper and it was just torn and looked horrible. You know how some buildings or walls in the city are just covered in old posters and they're all torn and stuff? Except they did this on purpose. Fortunately, it was dark outside, so I didn't see it to its full extent. Anyway, the building inside is very small as well. When it's busy, you can't really stand and wait anywhere without having to awkwardly move out of the way of anyone trying to get through. There were a lot of people there, and it was very loud. I'm not blaming 8bit for being loud, that's what happens when you're popular, but the fact that they were also blasting shitty 2000s music through the speakers is what really got to me. I hate places where I have to yell when I'm talking to someone, and even then they can't hear me. The actual burger was, like I said, good. But it really was nothing special, and my stomach is currently disagreeing with it. I had much better burgers at Grill'd, and there are plenty of those throughout Melbourne, but there are only two 8bits, so I'd recommend that. And I didn't even eat my burger. They didn't write which burger was which, so I got them mixed up and the other person who ordered a burger ended up going home and falling asleep immediately, so I just finished the burger which I took a bite out of. I had wanted the Altered Beast, but ended up with the One-Up mushroom, or whatever it was. I like mushrooms, and I understand some people would like a burger like that, but it was just mushroom overkill. I know I only had one burger, but all in all, from what I've seen, and tasted, there's nothing that 8bit does that Grill'd doesn't do better. My stomach also tends to agree with Grill'd, so there's that. I highly recommend sticking with that instead. And even then, Grill'd has much more locations (the nearest one for me is about 7 minutes on foot). I was also not a huge fan of the theme. I understand everyone has their own tastes, so someone else would like it. Personally, I am a huge gamer. I have thousands of hours on Steam (probably more than I have being outside :/) but this is all about those old retro games that people today only play because they're vintage retro hipsters. 8bit was, IMO, decent, but I just didn't get the hype, and it's certainly not one of the best places to eat in Melbourne or Australia like people have been saying lately. read more

Simply the best burgers in the West. Fast, delicious and friendly service. I'm a huge fan as are my 3 boys who are 13, 11 and 8 years old. Wife isn't a huge fan, but does enjoy the golden axe burger. The milkshakes top off the great burgers. We had the loaded chips just for a change, but the normal chips are just as good. 8-bits Double Dragon burger is famous and deserves to be. It's the benchmark in Melbourne's burger. read more

Got a burger and shake with Deliveroo. Burger (Double Dragon) was great - nice patties, tasty bacon, and the GF bun didn't fall apart too much. Peanut butter shake was good, but not great - possibly needed to be had closer to being made rather than after the time taken for delivery. read more

The best hot dog I have bought in Melbourne! After enjoying hot dogs in NYC I had just about given up on enjoying that first crunchy bite when the flavour and juices explode in your mouth! I will be back often. read more

Though the popularity of burger outlets is at an all time high and competition is stiff, this place moor than holds it's own. I came here with a group of friends and we we were surprised with how quickly we were seated and served. The food itself was awesome, satisfying all our glutinous desires without being too messy. I washed my meal down with a peanut butter milkshake as I enjoyed the 90s hiphop soundtrack and left a happy customer. read more

I visited this lovely little establishment for the second time last night and my verdict remains the same. It's a little overly hyped with an American-esque menu with things like loaded fries, shakes, and burgers. I ordered the 8bit burger, potato gems, and Mars Bar shake. Couldn't get enough of the shake, but the potato gems were overly salted and I didn't particularly care for the flavour of them. The burger was nice - it is what it is really. Another small criticism of mine is the size of the restaurant - pun intended. It doesn't feel as though there was much thought put in with seating. Perhaps they didn't know how popular it would be, but it isn't really a great space, and this time we felt lucky enough to get a small table for the four of us. We felt lucky as the time before that we went back to our car and ate it there due to how packed it was, which I hear is a regular occurrence for friends who frequent there. Ultimately, if you go there expecting the world due to its reputable name, you're not going to be overly thrilled with what you receive, but if you take it for what it is, then you'll be right. read more

I travel to the States often and I'm fortunate to say I've had some amazing American style burgers. So when I heard about 8bit I had to give it a try and I must say it was a descent American style burger for Australia. Tasty, tender and if you love your burgers it's worth the wait. I had the 8BIT with cheese and added bacon. I ordered the potato gems which I never received even after asking for them 3 times. The queue was out the door and took around 20 mins before I could place my order. Take note seating is limited and you would be lucky to get one. The salted caramel shake was awesome 3.5 Star for me. read more

We had 2 visits to this 8bit place on Droop St-Footscay as recommended by some random Melbourne articles. We were happy in the first visit and thought we found a tasty burger joint. But our 2nd visit today was a comletely different story and we would never come back again. It was busy as usual, after ordered 2 After burners, we could manage to find the bar seats. From this bar view, you could observe and see exactly how they dealt with the burgers. We were very surprised that about 8 staffs in the kitchen , only 2 who dealt with chips wearing gloves. The rest who directly handle the burgers surprisingly NOT wearing gloves. The most dingusting bit was the main burger maker guy, he crushed the lettuce, tomatos, coleslaw, raw/cooked onions, even cooked patties, you named them with his bare hands. Sometimes he wiped his hands on his filthy apron with traces of god knows what were there(the restaurant manager rekoned it was out of his habits..so maybe we should live with it??). Furthermore, he ripped the fried crumbed chicken into pieces with his bare hands, ofcourse. Be minded that today is such a hot day 35degree, standing next the grill, how many sweatty burgers he has been making?!! This not yet mentioning about the concern of cross contaimination. In such a short period of time(10mins) he touched and opened the under bar fridge with of course his bare hands, grabbed the clothe to clean the bench with his bare hands again AND continued making burgers, filled stuffs in them for orders,right in front of us. We tried to record the way they dealt with the burgers but was requested to stop. The manager tried to find excuses for not wearing gloves with this insanely reason:' the Council(Maribyrnong) adviced them its not safe to use gloves dealing with food '???!!!. If this is really the case, we all SHALL STOP eating in Footscrays or areas under same Maribyrnong Council as the food safety here apprearantly has their own standard. We will check with the Council again to verify this information. I was the one who inititated the visit today and so looking forward to that burger,but ended up not eating the burger as I was visually put off, thinkingI actually would swallow down the guy's sweaty burger in every touch. Another dissappointed part is that the manager appeared to be concerned . However, she didnt do anything to fix it but tried to convince us that is the normal and right practice???!!! Next visit, experience it yourself and update us. As we are not going back there again until this is completely fixed. Such a let down for a flavoursome burger. read more
