    Big, delicious burgers!
    James A.

    I just spent 4 years in the US. My mum would call me and tell me about this burger place that had just opened up in Canberra. I'd be like, "yeah, mum, I'm in the US. They do pretty good burgers here, too." Which they might, but I gotta say, Brodburger is worth calling the US about. They're really that good. These burgers are big; the bread is great (the Americans can't beat this); the meat is done really well and the aioli and relish they put on these burgers finish them perfectly. They taste like a burger that someone spent a long time trying to get right. And if you're really, really hungry, you can venture into "unfinishable" business with the Broddeluxe. This thing is two beef patties, two eggs and all the associated toppings. I'm no lightweight but I've ordered this thing more than I've been able to finish it (and... when I have finished it, there's been a bellyache involved for a few hours afterwards). It's huge. Great fries and some really good little desserts close out the food side. The location itself is great, with a bright open building in the Glassworks. On the negative side: the wait when things get busy can be horrendous. We're talking up to an hour. (Call ahead and order takeout!). The staff can get overwhelmed and as some of the other reviewers have noted, the tables can be left uncleaned. And there can be a scarcity of tables in peak times, too. But none of this can detract from what is one hell of a burger right here in the nation's capital.

    Double cheeseburger
    Ron B.

    Recommended and well-reviewed it was quite fun to try a burger at this Canberra 'institution'. Situated no longer in a red caravan but in the cool glassworks (think Brisbane Powerhouse, but smaller) the setting is nice and airy. Our wait to order was short, but burger wait time was a bit upward of 30 minutes (which was announced, so no unexpected surprise). The double cheese burger was huge, but what would you expect for close to $20? My regular burger had fresh ingredients and tasted that way but the meat/patty was devoid of any juiciness. Pros: friendly staff, cool place Cons: sad fries, not a grrreat burger, the wait Conclusion: another place next time

    Original Cheeseburger with Swiss cheese
    Bethany N.

    The boy and I are in Canberra for the weekend and thought we'd try the only burger joint in ACT on the Australia's 50 Best Burgers list. After a morning of sight seeing we arrived around 1.45pm and the place was packed. We made our way to the front counter, the space is very small with so many people cramming in to order and pick up take-away orders. As soon as we stepped up to the counter we were warned there was a 30-45 minute wait, we thought we had to wait for a table anyway so why not. The only problem we had... So many choices, so little time! I ended up choosing the original cheeseburger with swiss cheese and a side of 6 onion rings because hello, onion rings! The boy ordered the double cheeseburger with cheddar cheese (no pickles as always) and a side of chips. We also grabbed a 4 pines alcoholic ginger beer a heineken and headed back out to the dining area to find a table. Straight away we found a seat at the end of one of the tables outside, it quickly became apparent though that it was getting ready to rain with the odd spot hitting us so we scoped a seat inside and made our move. Lucky we did, not 5 minutes later it had started pouring with rain. After just under 45 minutes our burgers arrived. They smelled absolutely delicious and tasted even better! Mine had the right amount of sauce, a bit heavy on the pickles but once I removed a couple it was perfect. The onion rings came with an amazing garlic herb sauce, yum! I can see why it made the best burgers list. The boy however struggled with his double cheeseburger but after removing one of the patties was able to enjoy it. I would also highly recommend the 4 Pines Ginger Beer... I'm not a big drinker however I was in love, the boy had to buy another one as i stole his. The only downside to the experience was the cleanliness of the tables, although the rubbish was removed they weren't really wiped down. Also the outdoor dining area is not undercover so when it rained it was very cramped inside which made it very stuffy.

    Following all the rave reviews about this place, decided to go for dinner on our first night in Canberra. We arrived early and so we got a table quite easily, however our burgers still took a solid 40 minutes to arrive (probably because they do a lot of takeaway orders as well). Be warned, the serving portions are big. We struggled to finish our burgers and calamari and had to dump most of our chips by the end. However, the burger IS delicious and you certainly won't be disappointed if you've come here to smother your face in cheesy, greasy and ridiculously good food! The calamari was fresh (not those calamari rings you find everywhere else) however it was a shame that we were too full by the end to enjoy them properly! The location is stunning, with floor to ceiling glass walls allowing for sweeping views of the new Kingston development. It got super packed later on with dinner rush hour but I guess that's just testimony of how popular this place is. Another fantastic non-Maccas burger joint which sells real fast food!

    Bloody hell, this is the best burger I've had. We waited an hour for our food, and yes, it was absolutely worth it. Thank you for not using brioche. Thank you for a choice of cheeses and the wide menu selection. Thank Canberra for the marathon so I had a chance to try this.

    Best burger I've had in Australia! I know that this is a big call, but I am willing to make it. Knowing this, you'll understand when you come to this place and it is crowded more than a church at the end of the world. And as of their signs clearly states, this isn't McDonalds so don't expect fast food - so in other words, prepare to wait. But putting that all side, great burger. Just a tip, no matter how hungry you think you are, don't get two patties, just get the one. Trust me - this is a big burger. There was a moment a few days ago, I was considering driving to Canberra just so I can have this burger again. Also, if you are lucky to get a table to sit - then they also offer you board games and card games to entertain you while you are awaiting for your burger. Some times before abuse this system and sit there after they finished eating. Just a note for everyone, once you have finished eating and see you a giant line of people waiting for seat - get up! Seriously one of my pet peeves. Anyway, thus in summary, try the burger here.

    They do not clean tables at Bridburger

    Prepare for filth. The conditions of the restaurant are appalling. The staff don't care and are inept at taking orders, adding up, or providing decent service. How hard is it to wipe down a table? Hygiene is lacking and I'm surprised there aren't rodents running around. But the burgers are why people come here, the hipsters from nearby public service buildings. Ours weren't cooked satisfactorily. More attention needs to be paid to cleanliness and basic food hygeine.

    Best burgers in the ACT and probably N.S.W, place is small on table space but busy so get in early. In the old days, last year, it wasn't in common to see 15 people waiting around the old caravan for their orders, which reflects the goodness of the burger not slow service. The old place had well deserved cult status, be good to see the old caravan on the new site, even just as a momento

    Brodburger deluxe
    Cameo S.

    My husband is still drooling at the thought of Brodburger. The burgers definitely are yummy but FYI, the chips were a big disappointment (almost as crappy as McDonald's chips). Just order the burgers and don't waste space on the chips. The Brodburger deluxe is very huge, almost too huge to get your mouth around. We went there on a weeknight around 5:15 and beat the dinner rush.

    Ordered the BrodDelux (didn't realise it was going to be half a cow!). Burger was huge!

    Burgers are really nice and expensive. The chips (fries) on the hand were like pencils. The atmosphere is noisy and cold.

    Great burgers, though massive wait times. Worth ordering ahead, but a broddelux with blue cheese is worth the wait.

    First day of trade and the boy and I just happen to be in the area!…read more After a 3.5 hour car trip from Sydney to Canberra, checking into the hotel and realising how hungry we were, we headed out to find food! Being after 3pm we weren't sure if there would be much open. What a great little cafe! Burgers, Craft Beers and Coffee... What more could someone ask for? Reading the menu i couldn't decide which burger I wanted! The sliders, the pulled pork, a beef burger, no a chicken! Oh man why is it always so hard? The easiest part of the menu they actually pair the burgers with the beers!! I'd finally made my decision, the mixed sliders but alas they were out of the slider buns, so in the end I ordered the Porkie Burger and a Cappuccino (can anyone say coffee withdrawal headache) and the boy ordered an American Beef Burger with no bacon and a Young Henry's Natural Lager. The drinks were brought to the table pretty quickly. The coffee was exactly what i needed. The burgers followed soon after, the porkie burger was a pulled pork burger with cheddar cheese, pickles, chipotle mayo and sweet slaw it was delicious! The pulled pork had so much flavour, and the chipotle mayo the right amount of kick. The american burger was a beef burger with fried onion, cheddar cheese, house BBQ sauce and mustard mayo the boy was in love. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The only downside to the meal was the side chips - they were a little on the undercooked side and cold. Otherwise it would have been a winner.

    The service was very slow and when our meals came half of them had been forgotten and not made and…read morewhen there made the rest of our meal it was wrong it was ordered without pickles and came with the pickles on it and when we complained about it the staff picked them off with there bear hands and said there you go wasn't very happy asked for a new one got it 2 minutes later don't think it was a new one. The beer was fantastic Don't know if we'll go back

French toast with berries, compote and marscopone was delicious (if a trifle sweet for me). Toast with poached eggs and avocado was cooked perfectly and served with the freshest lemon. Coffee was fine in terms of flavour (not "great"), but perfectly extracted and tricky soy microfoam spot on (unlike some more dedicated coffee joints around town). Best brunch all round. Also enjoyed the low-key funk/soul on the sound system today. Nice airy fit-out and decor, and plenty of outside seating

    Urban Pantry is a bit of a hike for me (in Canberra terms so not really) but i enjoy going there…read morefor the unique range of brunch options and delicious looking smoothies. The smoked trout tortilla is a great, high protein way to start the day, while the sausage and egg brioche burger is a significant upgrade on what you could get at other *ahem* breakfast outlets, with crunchy and fresh tasting bread and a rather delicious onion marmalade. I haven't tried the lemon pancakes but they are on my to-try list. The meals are well presented and just right in portion size. The prices are reasonable in Canberra terms but beware the sides- I paid $3 for the mushrooms, which was literally one medium size mushroom. Be sure to make a reservation as its a popular place, and bring cash if you plan on splitting bills.
