Hands down my favorite (Cosby Show themed) burger joint in Melbourne. From the aesthetically pleasing diner vibe to the menu of burgers & shakes that aims to please everyone, this place will have you smiling & coming back for more (and more). The staff are always super friendly & laid back, helpful in even the busiest of times (which is often). The milkshakes are a tasty must & the chipotle seasoned chips also can't be missed. This place is always a stopover before hitting a music festival as they tend to play tracks by artists from the bill as I enjoy various burgers named after members of the Huxtable family. The only thing possibly missing? How about some of that famous Cosby Jell-O pudding. read more

The fries were awesome, the burgers too were good. Its a tiny place though but we were fortunate with our timing. Overall we were very happy customers. read more

Pretty decent burgers that definitely satisfy a burger craving. Chips were pretty good, could have more salt. However tomato sauce was supplied on the benches. The restaurant is pretty packed at lunch time so be prepared for a longer than average wait. There is not too much seating but it is not too hard to claim a seat while waiting. The styling of the restaurant gives a nice vibe. All around better than average fast food in between the quality of McDonalds and Grill'd with the price to match. read more

Hidden away, this place is great if you are after a simple, easy to eat burger. We both got chipotle fries and THE HOT burger, must say the burger was more amazing than the fries. It was delicious and juicy! The only downside for this Huxtaburger is that there aren't many places to sit as all the seats are along the window but do pay this place a visit for a fresh burger that hits the spot. read more

I was looking forward to trying out the burgers here based on previous reviews but was a little disappointed. I wouldn't say the huxtaburger was the best burger I've tried lately, but to be fair I've had some delicious ones recently. I really liked the chipotle fries though and the Coopers ale was refreshing. The selection of music is eclectic, from rap to instrumental jazz, a bit odd. Anyway I suppose one wouldn't really linger here, the bar type stools are fixed & not comfy. They do have free WiFi so that's a plus. read more

Burgers and Beer. Put these two little words pretty much anywhere and I'll be there. So after a little bit of playing the Melbourne Laneway Maze game the glowing neon sign beckoned us forth. "HOT BEEF. COLD BEER" Yay! We quickly stepped inside out of the cold Melbourne night, and the amount of people crammed into the small space soon warmed us up. It was about 8 PM so it wasn't as busy as I had heard it gets in here, but not wanting to risk a rush squeezing in out of nowhere we placed our burger order (Sondra tofu burger for Leisha T and a Theo meat-fest for yours truly) and grabbed a couple of beers from the great selection then expected to have to huddle in a corner, eating over our plates after discovering no free stools anywhere. By the time our burgers were ready (which wasn't long at all) half of the the people inside had left and we grabbed a seat easily. The burger was phenomenal. Juicy, cheesy, messy, meaty, tasty! Really, you don't need to know much more than those five little words. read more

So yeah, I came to Melbourne on vacation and I was brought here. Here to Huxtaburger. How did it compare to the burgers that I've had in the states? Very well, very very well indeed. I ordered a Huxtaburger and a Vale IPA and after I finished the burger I was still hungry and because I enjoyed the burger....I ordered two more. One time at the joint and I got three burgers. Well worth it. The locale was nice and quaint. It was a tad busy but not overwhelming. We were able to find seats just fine. The crew was very ice. Upon ordering I was told the total and because I don't know the money too well the gentleman that was helping me walked me through which coins to use. Very nice and very helpful. Those are major bonuses for me. The burgers were a good balance of meat, cheese and vegetables. Cooked more than my liking as I usually like my burgers rare but I'm not going to knock the burger based on that as the burger was still incredibly juicy. It's just a minor gripe for a great burger. The beer selection is quite limited to what I'm used to and it didn't help that I don't know Australian beers too well so I was totally willing to try what I haven't had. I went with the Vale IPA because I'm a major fan of IPAs. It was good but nothing special. I wish they had a wider selection but I'm just happy they offered beer so I was a happy chap. Restroom was clean too. That's usually a major sign to determine the cleanliness of the institution. If the restroom is clean then the rest of the place is going to be clean too. Would I come back to Huxtaburger when I come back to Melbourne? Yes I will. Arguably the best burger place I've had in the land down under. Come here and enjoy the meal. You won't be disappointed. read more

Such a good burger, friendly staff and cool atmosphere, took about 10 - 15 minutes to get the food but it was well worth the wait. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a filling and delicious burger. read more

I got the bills burger and loved it so much. There was a lot of mayo, but that's about the only downside I can think of sitting here writing this, whistfully staring at my empty plate. If your gonna get a bills burger, get a caramel milkshake or the experience isn't complete. read more

Huxtaburger - Just showing the burgers, come here to see the rest! - Burgers Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

Love Huxtaburger and now there's one in the CBD, which is way more convenient for me than taking a trip to the one in Collingwood. I get the spicy Denise (with Srirarcha mayo and pickled jalapenos) pretty much every time, but sometimes I'll make my own custom burger (extras like beetroot and pineapple are only 50c each!). It's an American style fast food burger done really well. Given the quality, the price is actually pretty good ($8.50 for the plain standard and $11.50 for the one with The Lot). The only reason I'm not giving five stars is 'cause the patties can be kinda inconsistent. Usually they're juicy and perfect and but sometimes they get overcooked which makes the burger taste more like processed fast food. They still taste great, but not as amazing as they can be. Oh yeah, and they sell beer there too. read more

I'm always up for a good burger and was not disappointed. A small place and not real easy to find, but worth the search. You order at the counter and they bring it to you. No refills on soft drinks and expect that they'll come small (at least compared to what we're used to in the U.S.). Would definitely come back! read more

I love this place! It is a once in a while meal, but for a cheat day it is worth it! Gluten and dairy free options are excellent and the staff are brilliant! Bills burger is awesome. read more

On a laneway off Flinder's Ln, existed the closest thing to In-n-Out's double double that Australia has to offer (which has HUGE buns to fill). I grabbed the Theo and the lady had the Denise. Nothing to complain about on my Theo; 2 huge organic patties, bacon, cheese, super fresh veggies. Spicing was a bit off, where the Double-Double is always on, but overall a pretty tasty burger. Plus, it offer $1 fries and a pretty nice selection of craft beer. I don't really know what type of theme they're going for here; a mix of 60s American diner with modern references, i.e., a picture of Ice Cube on their soda machine. read more

Friendly joint, delicious burgers and fries, free refill on the soda (i thought no one does that anymore...). Excellent choice

Stellar food. Best burger I have had in Australia. I got the Denise burger and chipolte chips.

The recent burger fad in Perth never really hit the right spot for me. Sure the burgers were tasty, but they often lacked that key ingredient. The ingredient it turns out was simplicity. I went for the classic Huxtaburger and it was amazing. read more

The best burgers I've tasted in Melbourne.. Huxtaburger is to melbourne what Ferg burger is to queenstown and I'm pretty sure that it's the mustard they're using that makes it so awesome! read more

The Huxtaburger itself was by far the best burger I've had, will need to revisit to try the rest of the menu

The new boneless chicken and chips are awful. We LOVED the old chicken strips and were so disappointed with the new ones. They were gristly and one was raw/pink. I threw them out. Chips have been changed to crinkle cut and taste like something I could pull out of the freezer and pop in my oven. Hopefully the burgers are still the same and haven't been downgraded like the rest of the menu seems to have been. read more

First time here... Great burger and chips. Will come back for sure. Nice staff too. I tried the Huxtaburger with regular chips -- delicious.

Burgers and beers. Perfect. Every time I'm in Melbourne, I always swing by this place. Burgers are juicy and delish. read more

4 stars are for the taste and quality of the food. Its very expensive for a burger ($$$$). But i will go back bc you get what you pay for here! I just need to save up my McDonald"s budget for this place! read more

Good if youre craving a greasy burger but nothing exceptional, the bun was more special to me than the actual burger. Super soft and slightly crispy. Mmm carbs. read more

Great chips! We went here for lunch, the burgers are cheap, filling and delicious. Not a large place so be aware if going with a group but definitely worth a visit. read more

The Vegetarian option (Sondra) was delish. Friendly service, great craft beer selection. Buns were a little oily, but still tasty.

I read about this spot on Yelp so decided to give it a go. The food and service was awesome. I had the huxtaburger and practically inhaled it as it tasted so good. They also have a great selection of local beers to try. read more

Not the best burgers going around. Buns weak and can't handle the good inside. Beef is small and need atleast 3 to feel full. A plus is that unlimted refill on drinks. read more

Excellent burgers, no nonsense. Not much in the way of a place to sit though. Also a tad difficult to find but definitely worth it.

Surprised it was a fast food type of ambiance. I was looking for something more upscale. But that is Ok. Also this place is difficult to find. The address on Yelp is not correct and Yelp mapping of this place was also poor. This place is tucked in an alleyway. Yelp maps was terrible in locating this place properly. I asked for their signature hamburger medium rare. They complied, were courteous and when the burger came out it was actually medium rare which is not very common these days. Congrats to them on that. Are the burgers fantastic. Not really but mine was good,cooked well and the sauce made the hamburger tasty. So if Yelp had 3 and a half stars I would rate it about that. read more

I'd heard nothing but good things about Huxtaburger and, staying nearby on a trip home to Melbourne, decided to check this place out. Meh, at best. I had the Clair burger and was easily the worst chicken burger I've had in recent memory. Chicken was greasy and nothing like what you'd expect from a half-decent, crispy, fried chicken burger. I can see it working if the chicken was better - the coleslaw and jalapeño mayo definitely had potential to pull a nice combo together. My wife had the Huxtaburger which was a passable cheeseburger. Again, definitely edible but nothing to go nuts about. The place itself lacks ambience and the staff have mastered the tight-lipped-dead-eyes when you say, "Hi", which is always nice :/ Charisma and friendliness never killed anyone, haircut. The chips were good and the chipotle chips great, so that's a plus. I'm assuming it was an off night (that cost me $30+) so would check it out again at a push, but definitely underwhelming. read more

What better noshing than diner-style burgers and fries before your (first ever) AFL game?? After much confusion, my dining party and I finally found the after-hours entrance to this establishment and proceeded on staring around in awe at the sheer quantity of people who were steadily packing themselves into such a small space. And rightly so. I ordered the Theo burger, a double patty with bacon and all the fixin's (as did El Hub), whilst my friends went with the Bills burger, a single patty with beetroot and pineapple. In hindsight, I would have ordered another serving of fries, to at least dull my voracious appetite for potato product, but burger wise, this joint is a solid 4-stars. The ingredients are housed in a super-soft, almost steamed, sesame bun, truly reminiscent of the ones back home. If anyone's familiar with Five Guys from the US, I would say, its similar. However, the actual flavor of the beef is a bit lacking and should have gone with more fat content or seasoning. Regardless, it was delicious and I think you should go now and fulfill your beefy, cheesy, potato-ey dreams. read more

Really nice place with just as good vegetarian options as "regular" beef ones! The fries are amazing as well! It's nothing fancy but a much better option than other fast food restaurants. It's a must for Melbourne! read more

yummy place for burger lover like me :) the bun is greasy and so tasty "my favourite" lots of sauce too. but same as others I agree that music is too loud you need to go outside if you dont want to hear those music busting your ear :D read more
