An old style eatery/burger bar on the corner of Victoria Ave and High St, one would expect this…read moreplace to be buzzing with people but a combination of being undiscovered, a lack of super close parking and very few businesses near by has resulted in a fairly quiet business which means meals are ready quite quickly. There is plenty seating both inside and out or get your meal to go and eat it wherever you please. The variety of burgers is quite broad from your plain beef burger through to the Tex Mex. The also do fish and chips and coffee to go. It's old school both in the decor (think late 80s/early 90s) and in the service with meals brought out to the table and payment made after eating. It's been a long while since I've had a a real burger with beetroot, lettuce, cheese, tomato and onion and I liked it... A lot!

Disappointed we had to wait in line for 15 minutes - outdoors, in the crazy wind and pouring rain!…read moreIt seems management has deliberately placed the queue at the entrance in order to 'spill' the line out on to the street and make the place look busy, and while it may generate a 'buzz', unfortunately it won't be getting me back as a customer, which in turn makes me so sad because I really do love burgers.... For this gripe, I give management a 1/5 The burger itself was very tasty, I tried the mexican burger which came with a teaspoon of avocado and had a good ratio of sloppy and saucy while holding itself together and not making too much of a mess. The onion rings were excellent, as were the fries. Food as a whole gets 4/5. My only other gripe is the cost. I believe it was $14.50 just for the burger. Fries were an additional $4 or so, as were the onion rings, and drinks the standard $3.5. This is expensive by any standards, particularly due to the fact that it's counter service, and the burgers themselves really aren't that large. For this I give 2/5. All up I'd rate this business a 2.5/5, I'm not in a rush to go back, nor would I recommend it to friends given the plethora of excellent burger joints around town. It's evident these guys are launching a chain, and it also appears they are succeeding in a lot of ways, but sadly it's just not for me! I gave it 3/5 on Yelp because I believe I'm the first to review it, and I'm a nice guy!

The food is so good that we keep going back but eventually I'm going to get sick of wasting money on things that have been made wrong.

The margarita was good but took 15 minutes, I think the one guy was newer and didn't know where things were.

This is the first time we have tried it again since the review below. Seems not much has changed and in fact has become more about what the manager wants rather than their patrons - you know, the people that put money in your POS. No real change to the wine list - dreadful options and very limited beer and alternate options downstairs. There is more upstairs but should I really have to walk upstairs every time I want to get a drink? The day we went, the sport on the TV is determined by what the manager wants to watch - even if the groups sitting in the area are all asking for a specific game. There was literally no one left sitting in front of the main screen, instead all huddled around a small screen inside. Broke up our group. Service rating down - this has NOTHING to do with the staff behind the bar who are delightful working the best they can with what they are given. This downgrade is purely a reflection of the service of the owners / managers and consideration of their patrons.

This is the second crack at a trendy Surry-style cafe in the bastion of old-people-and-small-dogs…read morethat is Castlecrag. Not sure what happened to the first one but this is in a similar mold, finally there are bowls and deconstructed breakfasts and smashed avo and cronuts and all the progressive trappings of a modern breakfast in the land that time forgot. Prices are up there with Surry (and, let's be honest, why wouldn't they be when you've got Squillionaires Row down by the water), but the food is top class and creative and we haven't even gotten to the coffee yet. So, the coffee. Strong and good. Which is all you want in a good cup. Lots of pleasant grinding noises and wafting aromas that curl down the street and grab you with their tendrils and pull you in for a piccolo even though you had one at home like 20 minutes ago.

I really wanted to try the deconstructed acai bowl but unfortunately we were there during their lunch service so was unable to do so. Instead we settled for the nourish bowl and sweet potato veggie burger. The nourish bowl at $20 is not for big eaters but my goodness it is a whole lot of delicousness in a bowl. I have a feeling the kimchi is the main reason I loved it so much, but there are many ingredients in there so something is bound to meet your needs. With cured ocean trout, brown rice, edamame, miso eggplant, seaweed, avocado, sesame, egg and kim chi, it seems a lot is going on but you won't be left feeling confused. Everything comes together wonderfully and you'll be wishing there was more. The burger was pretty good and I enjoyed the pickles as I love all my burgers with pickles. Kale was made to taste not like kale (which to me is a positive) and it was a good combination of ingredients. Perhaps could have done with fries or something on the side, because it felt a little empty with just the burger. Not usually a fan of berry smoothies but the Berry Serious smoothie with mixed berries, banana, chia seeds, coconut water and rice milk was deliciously thick and came in a generous serving. Although I would have preferred the Mean Green with baby spinach, avocado, lime, kiwi, coconut yoghurt and apple juice (seriously how good does it sound?), I think Berry Serious was well worth the $10.

The place was called Hurricane's Express and by the name it looks like the smaller version of the flagship franchise found near the harbour. Contrary to what the name may imply there was plenty of tables and seats both inside and outside. Ordered the half rack of lamb with baked potato. The portion was quite large and the lamb was very tasty. Didn't feel like the lamb was too fatty which was a good thing and the bakes potato was large and enjoyable. For a "half portion" this really felt like a full blown meal. Service was satisfactory, food didn't take too long to come out. Definitely satisfied with the meal and enjoyed it enough to come back and try something else.

Yeah..we just blue ourselves. The burger comes with gloves because blue everywhere. The beer battered chips are heavy and loaded and you just can't help yourself but to eat more. Do yourself a favour and get down there. Some of the best chicken burgers in all the land.

Usually I get Coleslaw which is too overwhelming with dressing or the dressing is not mixed in throughout the whole salad or it tastes old. This place doesn't have these issues) I bought myself there smokey sauce which does live up to its name.

Ordered a cappachino and the Mushroom Bruschetta - Roast mushroom, pumpkin puree, proscuitto, pesto and eggs. WoW! Amazing! Didn't have to wait too long also for the meal. By the time i left all tables indoors was taken and they had a few people waiting on take aways. After ordering i noted that they serve milo milkshakes and freshly squeezed juices!

You may guess from that little paean that this is my go-to 'za joint and you'd guess right. None of this pan base crap. No bike wheel-thin, brittle dough with an artisan scraping of tomato sauce and three pieces of gourmet pepperoni. These bad boys are dripping with love and quality toppings, stacked high with colour and juice and topped with tasty cheese and chilli flakes and those ace little Italian anchovies I can't get enough of. My fave is The Special with pretty much everything and the kitchen sink on it. But NO PINEAPPLE. God help you if you order pineapple on a pizza. What are we, Polynesian cavemen?
