We had seen lots of positive reviews about the Burger Business, so we headed out to Footscray for…read morelunch to check them out.
The venue isn't very large, but overall it is set up nicely and maximises the space. There are a couple of tables outside too which is a good option to have. The staff there were really pleasant. We went inside and ordered the 'Supreme burger' with an added beef patty, the 'Bacon Feast burger' with an extra beef patty, bacon and cheese fries, and a vanilla and Nutella milkshake. Everything was reasonably priced, as majority of the pricing was the average of other competitors.
We took a seat outside to wait. The shakes were brought out first. Both of them looked amazing - very simplistic in comparison to the crazy freakshakes on the market, but still great. Both flavours were creamy, rich and thick. The Nutella parfait on top of the shake was DELICIOUS. We could not get enough of it. Soon after, the bacon and cheese fries came out. It is a fairly small serving, but just enough to accompany a large burger. They were hot and crispy, and the chips were a thick cut. We loved the cheese sauce and bacon bits. This side was very impressive.
Then our burgers followed. They looked great, particularly the 'Bacon Feast burger'. Despite the attractive aesthetic, we were unfortunately left slightly disappointed. The beef patties were cooked well, and we loved the fact that they weren't greasy or heavy - but to us they tasted a little bland, like there was a lack of seasoning and slight dryness. The cheese was melted well, and the bacon tasted nice. The 'Supreme burger' was also a bit of a letdown, having the same beef issue. We were hoping the avocado and aioli could offer some salvage but they didn't. Definitely not the worst burgers we've had, but there was room for improvement in our perspective.
We are looking forward to going back to the Burger Business to give them another go, as their staff were great, and their shakes and sides were phenomenal.
