My husband and I landed in Sydney on Feb 2 before boarding our ship the next morning for a New Zealand Cruise. We were dog tired from our 22 hour flight and, not knowing the area at all, threw a dart at the wall and chose Batch Burgers to have delivered to us via Uber Eats. First of all, it was ridiculously fast. We had our order in under 20 minutes delivered to the View Hotel. We were beyond impressed with the taste of our items, (I had the Cajun Chicken sandwich and he had the Batch Burger and we split - thank goodness - an order of sweet potato fries). The portion was huge! It was so good that while we were out on our cruise we were adamant that when we landed back in Sydney we were going to walk ourselves there for lunch. We found the place and this tiny little hole in the wall location and its sweet owner did not disappoint. I went for the Cajun Chicken sandwich again because... DAMN! As I told the owner it was the messiest most delicious thing I've had in a long while. My hubs chose the special burger of the month which was a tropical maple burger and we went for the gusto with the Parmesan truffle fries. We had a lovely conversation with the owner and regretfully I didn't get her name. What a great gem of a place! If I find myself back in Sydney I will definitely be heading back and hopefully finding maybe something just a little smaller on the menu so I can leave room to try one of the Nutella shakes. read more

I had ordered the Chicken Chipotle burger from this restaurant a few months ago, so my memory is a little hazy, but I remember it being pretty tasty all around. The overall texture of the ingredients, however, did not mesh well, which was a deal breaker for me. The presentation was also unimpressive; it appeared as if they threw the ingredients together, which I believe they did given how easily the burger unravelled. In conclusion, this is a nice place to grab some food while looking out over the harbour; however, don't expect anything special. Taste: 3.5/5 Presentation: 1.5/5 Texture: 2/5 Overall = 2.5 read more

Batch Burgers and Espresso - Burgers Near Me - Kirribilli, NSW

Every run-of-the-mill burger joint is always a gamble. This one was definitely a win. We got the chipotle burger with a small fry and it did not disappoint. It was a generous amount of food and an upbeat environment. The seating inside is small, but there are a few tables outside. Overall, it was a great burger at a price that was expected. You pay for what you get, with a little extra fry. The location was close to the water, but not on. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a somewhat American experience in terms of Berger quality. read more

Batch Burgers and Espresso - Burgers Near Me - Kirribilli, NSW

This is probably the best place to get an authentic cheeseburger. The bread is soft, the burger juicy & meaty with pickles, onions, mustard & ketchup add a tasty extra. The fries are hot & crispy & decent portion. Yum They have a good menu where you can add delicious goodies to your burger & different drinks to choose. I had the mint refresher, it was lovely! Well worth a visit read more

This American themed burger joint in Kiribilli is pretty solid. My boyfriend's cousin says it's the best burger in Sydney and he's a burger connoisseur! Myself as an American, I thought the burgers were good, smaller than most gourmet burgers but well done. However, they missed the mark on the 50/50 lemonade and iced tea. This would be an Arnold Palmer with fresh squeezed lemonade and ice tea instead of sprite or a fizzy soft drink. My chicken burger, the Tiajanero burger was delicious served with shoe string fries though I prefer thicker fries. read more

Cannot believe that someone beat me to to review this place which has only been open a few days. Fantastic and original concept for Kirribilli, a retro diner that serves milk-shakes, burgers and Campos coffee. A liquor license is rumoured. Batch is tiny, only 10 bar chairs but 6 staff working like mad behind the small counter to keep up with demand. This place will do well in Kirribilli, a suburb of two thousand with the same number of school kids. We visited on the first weekend with our 8 year old, as did our neighbours with their 19 year old and the Mayor. Sitting outside for a short while was a large group of local teenagers who demolished the $12.50 burgers like there was no tomorrow. This is no chain (unlike Grill'd). They make to order. Batch is shaping up to be family heaven, soft-serve for the kids and a liquor license will be a sensational combination. PS. Such a relief to have a new place in Kirribilli that is not Thai. read more

The taste is nice but the way they stack their burgers is all WRONG. You need to have the patty on the bottom and not the lettuce and tomato. If the lettuce is on the bottom bun without patty, it slides all over the place and you need to invert the burger. read more

So I'm skype-ing Andy and he is like "Yo, there is a new burger place in Kirribilli". I look up from my watermelon and tell him that a new burger place opens weekly now, so there is no need to use such an excited tone over Skype. Cool ur jets, Ando. He tells me that this place is more of an "american restaurant" than a burger joint. So I look back down at my watermelon and tell him that I'm actually American, and I would be more than willing to judge this place for myself, more or less. He responds that he already knew I was American, and that it was my accent that gave me away. Cut to 9 minutes later and we make plans to try the restaurant the following saturday at 1pm. Cut to the Saturday at 1pm and the pulled pork was great. So was the chilli dog. end scene. read more

Batch Burgers and Espresso is fitted out like a New York diner; the tight space is centred around a long bar that serves coffee and milkshakes and simple American street food, namely cheeseburgers, chicken, chilli-dogs and corn. The price is right - corn's $4, burgers are all $12.50, servings of chips are cheap - and the execution is modest, though bound to improve. This brand new joint will settle into its groove. The elephant in the room is Grill'd. They have taken a grip on good burgers in this city, and with reason: they have identity... not to mention great freakin' burgers. Grill'd's generous, savvy selection make these ones look amatuerish, and at a similar price, it's a comparison worth making. Good ideas at Batch - like crumbly smoked cheese on the Brooklyn, or bacon (albeit in the chewy Aussie style) standard on the cheeseburger - aren't enough to lift these above what you'd throw together at home on Burger Night. I remember when Grill'd first opened in Crows Nest, years ago. Scrawled on the walls, I noticed, eating something inspired by - but not bound by - the rules of classic hamburgers: "We will not serve your food on rollerskates." Since that time Americana has exploded in Sydney, which is fun, but at Batch I couldn't help but think back to that prescient critique. Still, I don't mind that they're a cardboard cutout. I just hope they're able to trim the edges a bit more neatly... read more

Staying in Sydney for a few days and had Batch recommended by my hotel. Burgers were good, would have liked them medium, not well done. Onion rings were fantastic! Fries good, cheesy fries needed more cheese! Corn on the cob was good Fried chicken was good Staff were friendly, but getting the food took a while All in all though no complaints and would be back definitely! read more

Was stoked that a burger joint was opening in my hood. Was not stoked that they don't have a good handle on what they are doing. Ask me how I want my meat cooked. If I want well done then I will go to McDonalds. Also, you need to get crispy bacon if you are trying to make an American style burger...and there's no doubt they are. Speaking of, they need to get some better root beer. What they have now is flat and flavorless. But hey, at the end of the day it's still a burger and burgers rule. read more

I haven't eaten my burger yet but I've been waiting for so long that I might as well kill time and write a review. what was supposed to be a 5 minute wait has turned into something closer to 20. luckily I'm not in any hurry tonight. Ok, now that I've eaten the burger, I actually did add on an extra star after my annoyance with the wait. I understand that it's new so it probably has some kinks to work out. Overall, it was tasty and I'm happy to have this new option in the Kirribilli neighborhood, we really could use something different to spice things up with the fish & chips and many thai spots. Because it was an American cheeseburger, I did expect American bacon but it wasn't! That's ok, I still really enjoyed the burger and wished there was more of it - the patty is on the small side. read more

AMAZING customer service! Accommodated my food allergies and were so kind about my high maintenance diet. Thank you thank you! read more

Batch now has the slowest burritos on earth.. I ordered takeaway and true to their nature it took 40 minutes for a takeaway burrito...granted there were 4 other people there but clearly there are complications about making a burrito that I do not understand and that every other burrito place has solved. As taste goes Batch is staying true to traditional old school Australian-Mexican food. The pork was made of American BBQ sauce covered pork and enough sour cream and want-to-be guacamole that I am not sure if there was anything else in there. I am still perplex how how they keep the service speed so slow while serving average food at best. read more

Seems the Batch team have taken the feedback about smaller sized patties and slow service and up'd the game. My crew of 4 boys and I arrived at classic dinner-time peak of 6:45pm and while the crowd and the take-away traffic was evident, we were all seated at the bar next to the spare bottles of mayonnaise and served before I could get half-way through a drink (they have a liquor license). The staff are AWESOME. Grooving along and sometimes joining the chorus of a set of Ed Sheeran songs. We were also lucky enough to be there for the performance of refilling the drinks fridge which is an acrobatic feat by a stunning artiste in such a small space. That joy and expression also comes through in the taste. I had the Batch burger, the boys had a hotdog (amazing), cheeseburger-remove-the cheese, Brooklyn and New York. Along with a "large" fries, soft drinks and a milkshake this all disappeared and left us very satisfied. Despite what would have seemed to be quite rich and a bit spicy, there were no later impacts, even after several rides at Luna Park! We're at Luna Park quite often with the annual pass, so this has definitely been added as an option for dinner. read more

Wandering along Kirribilli trying to decide where to eat is a regular past-time of old, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a new (to me) arrival, Batch Burgers. In literally a hole in the wall, this little counter-serve type spot does a range of burgers, sandwiches and such accompanied by coffee and beers. It follows the current retro trend with all the gang fitted out to match the "boiger joint" feel, and chips served in a trendy little wire basket, boigers on a board. Sitting watching them cook was a mixed blessing - open kitchens are good when the processes going on are all something we want to see - watching our pulled pork get dug out of a plastic container and dropped on the hotplate was a little unappetising, and their storage facilities seem inappropriate for an open kitchen, I thought. Maybe it's just me... Anyhow, in due course a couple of pulled pork rolls were produced - with a bit of slaw in the bottom, and in a pretty standard, although fresh, torpedo roll, and some nice crunchy fries. Nothing wrong with anything here, wished I had a boiger though in hindsight - perhaps next time. I do think that compared to say Grill'd or Burgers and Ribs, they are a little off the game, although Grill'd can be very patchy depending on the one you go to. Worth a try. read more

The first time I tried Batch it was amazing and a type of burger I hadn't tasted before. The second time, my friend and I ordered the burger, chips and drink promoted outside on the banner. Unfortunately we did not realise it was takeaway only. We sat down and they brought our food out. We started eating when some more people came along and they said we had to leave. We walked around Kirribilli enjoying our chips and drink. However as soon as we took a couple bites into the burger we both had stomach aches. It may have just been a coincidence, but that was our last trip. read more

My children's favorite place! They are obsessed with the spicy buffalo wings. You can get them mild, but my kiddos like they super spicy. The staff is very fun and friendly. A+ for food and staff, especially James the manager. read more

Burger places are popping up all over the place - establishing a sense of what we may or may not be missing out on in the US. Batch Burger presents a 1960s diner in a little hole in the wall that can only be described as cosy (max 10 people on the bench and 8 outside) it delivers a really simple but clear idea of how you should experience burgers. From classic burgers to specialities, hot dogs and other americana types of food you have a lot to select from. I've only tried a few things on the menu, I have to say you go here for burgers - why you would order anything else seems strange to me. The milkshakes are okay at best but the onion rings and fries are the perfect complement to the burgers and fried food does well in pairs. Really pleased that I found this place, I have been a few times when I've been in the neighbourhood and enjoyed trying out the different type of burgers, it's also been interesting because there are american soft drinks that you can't necessarily buy in the supermarkets - that are really there to again combine the whole experience. read more

Great spot. I'd love to hang out and eat breakfast too. Their burgers and fries were right on. Enjoyed a milk shake too. Felt like we were sitting in Brooklyn, NY. Would go back for sure read more

I have fully accepted that every time I order Poutine down under, I will be disappointed. I have also fully accepted that if it is on the menu, I will order it. Batch put forth a standard Aussie effort: shoestring fries with gravy. I'm not even convinced there was cheese in this version. Burger-wise we had the Tijuanero and the Brooklyn. The Tijuanero was the better of the two, but still didn't quite hit the mark for me. Batch was a place that had been on my list for awhile (I do like their Batch No 1 location in the CBD), so I'm glad I finally ventured here, but with so many options nearby I'm not sure I'll be back. read more

We are loving the wonderful and exciting selections that are offered here!! Everything we try has been great. It is a must stop if you are just passing thru or live in the area. read more

The venue looks promising with a gorgeous 50's retro styled diner fit out. The staff are matched with retro outfits. Unfortunately the food doesn't match the look. For just shy of $60, I got 2 cheeseburgers, 2 hotdogs, an extra side of fries and 2 cans of sprite. The cheeseburger came on a small dry bun with the thinnest of cheese slices only partially melted on top. The pickles were sliced thin but were cold and soggy. The meat paddy was tasteless and very undercooked. The fries came served in a small deep fryer basket which was cute but they were loaded with way too much salt. My kids had the hotdog which was basically a beef sausage on a dry bun. For the price, you don't get much and the quality is poor. I was expecting it to be much like an authentic American diner, where the burgers are big and tasty with lots of sides. It's nothing like Shake shack in NYC. Other reviews claiming that this is the best burger in Sydney have obviously never had a shake shack or burger joint burger. Don't waste your cash. read more

The food came fairly fast, and I must say the fries were good. My chicken schnitzel burger was fairly.. Ordinary. I don't have much to say for the cramped setup, the joggers coming in for bottles of water, or the nostalgically dressed waitress stuffing her face at the end of the bar. Wouldn't set out to go here again. read more

This place is great, what a find! we walked over the harbour bridge and spotted it while walking down to the water on the north side of the harbour and had to stop in - friendly staff, good tunes and a great menu! I picked the Californian Beef burger - soo delicious and soo thick. I was happy to get shoestring fries, hard to find good shoestring nowadays - I had the truffle fries, which were excellent and topped it all off with a thick shake. Satisfied to the max. Next time I will will grab a takeaway and eat by the water, it's really close. Can definitely recommend. read more

I haven't been to them all, but best Burger shop in Sydney! Make sure you order some of the great fries and shakes on the menu too.

Great American burger bar hole in the wall cafe. Good coffee (Campos) and fabulous food. The fried chicken was a real treat and the burgers fantastic. read more

Good American burgers and fries. The shakes are good but could be thicker. The atmosphere is great and the views are amazing!

Average burgers with self-important staff. No thanks.

Waited forever for a very average cheese burger - synthetic patty and stale bun. The shake was even worse. Tasted like it wasn't even made from ice cream. Overall this place has a cool vibe but the food doesn't match. Sorry. read more

Their food is fine, but if you're picking up, plan to add an extra 10 minutes minimum into the time they quote you - I have never, after 18 months of going regularly, had them quote an accurate collection time and often have to wait, which is frustrating when parking nearby is limited. Either that, or go elsewhere!! read more
