Excellent service, clean and open restaurant and definitely worth a visit.

Man, it hit the spot on a rainy day and I can't wait to try their other burgers as well. I may have to create my own burger to mirror an In-N-Out cheeseburger. Plus, if you're lucky, then you might even get some entertainment from the girl at the counter as she sings along to the music.

Stopped here for a quick late lunch. Surprised to have found this place because it's so tiny (as…read moreeveryone else has seemed to mention). FOOD Given practically everyone that worked there was Asian I opted for the Asian burger. Teriyaki Chicken Burger with Wasabi Mayo, Pineapple and Pickled Ginger. ($10.50) When eating Teriyaki Chicken you don't normally put wasabi/mayo/wasabi mayo on it. Well I don't anyway. Wasabi and pickled ginger are usually reserved for sushi not teriyaki. On this occasion it seemed to work though! Pineapple was a bit iffy though. Not very Japanese like. Good serving of Peri-Peri sauce with my small chips ($3). Nice and spicy. Some of the chips unfortunately spent a little too long in the deep fryer for my liking. I'm picky with chips. These were unfortunately not the perfect balance of crispy on the outside soft on the inside. OVERALL Decent burger place. Was debating between a 3/4 star during my meal. Last minute save by the delivery boy. As I left I saw him hop on one of their awesomely decorated delivery bikes. http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/7Dp_kuCO295Neo2oRxjuoA?select=ta7XzREoxqKSIsror7Q5Gw#ta7XzREoxqKSIsror7Q5Gw Love the environmentally friendly nature of the delivery. Well done!

The menu supplying a magnitude of choice whith crazy burgers, loaded shakes, gelato, salads and as the name suggests items from the grill including steak, chicken and fish. The burgers here are huge, make sure you bring your appetite. The lord of the fries was a monstorous stack made of some mouthwatering slow cooked pulled beef marinated in a southern style smokey BBQ sauce, with some thick cut chips and a solid serve of melted cheese. This was ordered as a combo and came with a side of their thick cut chips, some of the best we have had. The chicken burgers are some of the best going around with a favourites being the clucking pig a fried chicken boheimeth and the honey badger, a tasty grilled chicken burger assembled with slaw and a flavoursome honey mustard sauce. We also shared a salad: brown rice with corn kernels and sun dried tomato a good option if you are after something healthy to eat. We could not go past their loaded shakes with the Caramello Koala granbing our attention. Being a fan of the chocolate, this shake was a must and did not disappoint. As mentioned, the servings are very generous and this shake could be considered a meal in itself. We thank inferno for their hospitality and for their vision in creating some solid burgers shakes.

I came here for the burgers, and there's a custom Fatties Burger Appreciation Society list as long as your arm with all kinds of wild stuff (the Boss Hogg has crumbed mozzarella) but I tried their most famous creation, The Clucking Pig. The thing that stands out at this place is the quality of ingredients, and the care put into making each dish. The fried chicken was HUGE, like brontosaurus size, and piping hot with lovely crisp skin. The crunchy slaw, the aoili, the chilli sauce. Lots of thought has gone into this, and the result is astonishing. The owner Anthony stopped by out table for a chat. This is a guy that genuinely cares about his customers, and he's crafted a one-stop family place that has something for everyone, from the fresh salads to the sticky glazed pork ribs to the char-grilled BBQ chicken. Everything looks sumptuous, everything's crazy fresh, and the prices are amazing. In your face, $20 gastropub burgers that I could have made at home. Oh and beers and ciders are $5. Yup. Oh, and he makes his own gelato, the kind that has crumbled up Crunchies on top. A proper Rennaissance man. I hear he used to be a banker. Special shout-out to the home-made chilli sauce. Spin me around and call me Mary, I would drink a cup of this stuff. Don't dare me, I'LL DO IT. In the interests of full disclosure: a colleague was introducing me to this place and my burger was comped.

I am such a big fan of fried chicken especially since I had the original in street markets at Taiwan so my anticipation was building. It of course did not disappoint.

They sprinkle on a wonderful spice mix and the 'spicy' one was hot enough to make me reach for water but so tasty.

This is what Hot Star has nailed - everything that goes into their fryers (so everything on their menu) are fried to order and fried to a timer to make sure it's just on the right side of browned and burn-your-tongue hot. You may have to wait but boy is it worth it. This Eastwood branch of Hot Star seems much much the same as the others around Sydney - same plastic bag you're handed after ordering, same delicious mushrooms and curly fries, same queue on the path out the front. Points off for scoops which look a little too coated with seasoning but maybe they just hadn't cleaned them yet after a long day of trade...maybe. Or is it just extra flavour? Perhaps the key point of difference at this franchise is what looks to be a side business selling anime Lego figurines and what looks like vitamin and mineral supplements. To offset the fried chicken, ya know?

Seriously this is like the 3rd fried chicken shop to open in Sydney the past month…read more From the minds of the guys behind Mr. Crackles which did everything pork, comes Thirsty Bird, their take on most everything chicken. This place is pretty much a takeaway only shop with only 5 stools to sit on. The specialty here is the Southern style fried chicken, which originated from the South in the US and means it's marinaded in buttermilk. Delicious. 3 pieces for $12 with a sauce or 8 for $25 and two sauces which is a pretty good deal. You can also opt for a meal which is 2 pieces and a side and a sauce for $13. Sides vary from waffle fries, bacon mac & cheese, and mash and gravy. The Thirsty Burgers though, may be where it's at, with a choice of Southern, Club, Katsu, or Yankee. I went for the Southern and this burger is freaking huge...it's not really a burger since it's on a long sandwich roll from Barby's but it's a two hander for sure. For bang for buck it's tough to beat this one for $12, but I will say while I do enjoy this one, I think I might enjoy Juicy Lucy and Butter's versions just a little more. The Southern tasted kind of like a gourmet version of Burger King's Chicken Sandwich...which is delicious but not available in Australia so I guess I can't give a proper example. The biggest knock here is how long it takes to get your food when they're busy. It took about 15 minutes, and this place is supposed to be fast food. Either way definitely worth a visit if you're in the area
