Working next door, I had hoped for a quality burger place to visit that was not Miel Container. In the end it was a disappointing experience, or as others that joined us referred to "below Grill'd" standard.
The decor is brilliant - I believe it was designed by a interior design firm. They take a lot of cues from most modern fitouts (subway tiles, etc)
I ordered "The Master" which was their "standard" burger for $12. I like to order the basic burgers so I can fairly compare to other venues. As it arrived to our table the first thing we all noticed was the colour of the meat: pale, grey "beef"
The burger came with the pickle pinned to the top, which in theory is a great way to keep the pickles separate if you're not a fan of pickles - but that only works if you drain the pickle before you pin it. Instead, the pickle juice made a soggy brioche bun. The burger itself was about room temperature, but then again, it was a hot day in Brisbane?
The meat was the real disappointment. It was pale, grey and so very, very flavourless. I thought they might have mixed up our orders and given us all pork or chicken mince patties instead (4 of us got the same basic burger) but when I asked to clarify they insisted it was beef. One of our mates got the "Master Tom" which came with a dark beef mince patty. The Master burger is supposedly a lean mince patty, which is fine, but it flaked apart like you were eating fish!
As a whole, the burger was then wet and sloppy (juicy patty) and the only flavour was a mild mayonnaise.
We ordered dirty fries and they were OK - cheese and caramelised onions, but the chips they use are strangely dry.
I'll revisit with another burger soon but I would recommend hastily replacing The Master. read more
