American style pizza/burger restaurant with a good selection of starters (sliders, korean tacos,…read moregarlic pizza) and mains (burgers and pizza). My friend and I decided to each get a burger. I got the wagyu deluxe and was presently surprised that it came with onion straws (thin crispy onion rings!)! The bun was great but unfortunately I was very disappointed with the patty which was cooked well-done with poor quality beef - dry and unflavourful, hard to believe it was wagyu. My friend got the atomic deluxe which came with a very thick and crusty bread for bun. The fries had absolutely zero salt. I'm giving this place a 3 because there's a lot of potential. Most of their online reviews are quite poor so I think if they consider their customers suggestions they can really improve! Keen to try the pizzas next time.

Great location friendly staff. The only fault was we had to actually ask for plates and napkins…read more The pizzas were just bought out and placed on the table, we actually had to go back to the counter to ask for napkins and plates. Other then the plate issue highly recommend you visit, perfect for the whole family.

Very happy to have dined here, even as our second choice for the evening! They have an…read moreextraordinary amount of outdoor tables, and only two indoor tables. Making this place perfect for a nice day. It's very typical casual Australian where you order at counter, choose a table and the staff brings out your food. You also grab your own water and condiments, which is a hit or miss for Americans. Personally, I love having it all out there for me to grab and not have to wait for someone to ask if I need anything! My guy picked a fried chicken sandwich special. They had a pretty long list of specials on a wooden board near the cashier, so I would check that out before ordering. I picked a burger with pan fried chorizo, jalapenos, and tons of aioli. It was really good. Although I'm still not quite used to the high prices for burgers with no sides in this country, it was very much on par with other burger joints I've seen. If not a dollar less than similar places. The two of us each got a burger and split one order of specialty garlic parm fries, but if you're cool with regular fries/chips, then they have a great deal to add a portion with your sandwich for only a $1 or $2. The nice view of the beach and the trees is a pretty nice perk as well. :)

Little burger place in Terrigal, located at the north end of the esplanade. The burgers here are…read moreone of the best I've had, they do not go soft on their essentially perfectly grilled patties. Chop n grind really emphasise on the American-style burgers as they are quite a hefty size. The double double chop was amazing, and my girlfriend seemed to enjoy the cheeseburger. The fries are another thing though, they are like Maccas chips only bigger! Will return here

Love the original Ooomph in a back street East Gosford…read more Great vibe, amazing selection of delicious and healthy food and always great coffee. Well worth finding, it is just behind another Ooomph venture Ooomph the Food Store which is on the main drag in East Gosford, you can just walk through.

The name Chookies makes me fee weird. Not sure why, maybe because it reminds me of a…read morepartially-formed chicken, or because it's trying to be too cute. Either way. The burgers here are pretty damned good, on account of the home-made chilli sauce they smother all over them. A lot of places give you only the barest smidge of their home-made kick-sauce which I think is pretty tight 'cus that stuff makes a chicken burger man. But Chookies does good. Their chips are those long skinny, shoe-string ones that aren't that satisfying when you're craving the big rough-cut bad boys but are perfectly serviceable otherwise. The things that killed me at this joint was the 15 year-old kid working the counter. You know the kind. Skate shoes. Foppish hair. Cockiness smeared all over his face with a painters trowel. He had a couple of little mouthy school mates in hanging out in the store and was making fun of some young girls that had come in. Nothing too unsavory but loud and obvious enough for it to be uncomfortable. Where do these kids get their undue sense of entitlement from, huh? Yeah, I know that makes me sound old. What of it.

To put it simply; quick, easy and amazing. I've ordered from here countless times, and I consider…read moreit the best takeaway joints in the Davistown/Saratoga area. The burgers here are seriously something else. Nothing better to have after waking up on a seedy Sunday morning with one of their hangover burgers. Also, they have some of the best chips I've ever tasted. Make sure to add chicken salt otherwise you won't discover the true meaning of life. And after you get your food, you can go and eat it on the waterfront! Could it get any better? I don't know.

Was it worth the three hour drive up? Maybe just to try it one time..but only because we had mates…read moreup that way. I tasted like Hungry Jacks and McDonald's burgers did the nasty and came out with these. The fries were alright. The burgers were mediocre at best. The patties were dry af. I had the Hawaiian Chicken and it tasted exactly like Hungry Jacks, then there was some rancid sauce on the burger - thank the lawd they only squirted it on a tiny portion of the burger and it was the last part, so I just didn't eat it. The japaleno burger was slightly better - if only the patty wasn't overcooked to hell. The food and safety authority will be happy about that though. Really, if it comes to Sydney, try it then...otherwise it wasn't really worth the three hour drive.

The boy and I are in the area for a family get together and thought we'd give Carl's a try and see…read morehow it stacks up to the likes of Maccas and HJ's. Well I can safely say I would choose Carl's over the other 2 in a second. I'm not a huge fan of fast food, I'm that person who inspects their food before they eat it and the look of fast food meat patties makes my stomach turn but with eyes closed I gave it another shot. It's a bit wet today so we just went through drive thru and sat in the car to eat it, we were in drive thru for 5 minutes max and the majority of the time was deciding what to get! I finally decided on the Western Bacon Cheeseburger and onion rings and the boy had the Famous Star with Cheese and Fries. The Western Bacon Cheeseburger is a beef burger with bacon, cheese, onion rings and a smokey BBQ sauce, I was a fan. I love the smokey BBQ sauce the downside was the bacon, it was too much fat for the amount of bacon. The Famous Star with Cheese is basically a Whopper with Cheese (in my opinion). It's a beef burger with tomato, onions, pickles, lettuce, mayo and tomato sauce. The boy thought it was pretty good, some may say better than a whopper the only downside was that it was very sloppy due to the sauce ratio. As for the fries vs onion rings, I'd always choose onion rings over fries any day! Overall we were happy with the experience for a fast food resturant however the greatest disappoint of all was that they didn't have Dr. Pepper!
