Day one of the family road trip. We have just driven 900k from Sydney. We are exhausted. It's late. We are hungry. We are crumpled. We smell a bit. We look at the swanky cafes on the main street of Bendigo and realise that we would have to go back to our accommodation to clean up a bit (well a lot really) before walking in. This would make it later and us hungrier. So we wandered around for a while looking for something a little less highbrow. Not knowing Bendigo, we stuck to the main drag. The only place that suited was Grilld. Now 900k is a very long way to go to get a burger that you can buy from the same chain in Sydney but hunger trumped originality and in we went.
Although I say we have bought the same burger from Grilld in Sydney, we never have, so this was our first Grilld experience. And it was a good one. For a fast food chain burger it was good. We all had something diferent and they were all good, big and tasty. Just th thing after a long drive. We lashed out and had their chip tasting plate as well with 3 diferent types of hot chip - regular, sweet potato (yum) and zucchini (wow... Amazing) with dipping sauces.
We may well be giving their Sydney locations a go if we need a lunch or dinner out sometime and don't want to go upmarket. read more
