Well, I stumbled upon a burger joint - this one, and of course my mind was immediately made up (which probably also has something to do with most other places being shut). Well, all I can say is that this place was awesome. The chips, and the burger, was amazing, as was the service. Of course, it was also takeaway, so that worked out quite well to, though of course they do have seat in options as well.

Ok yeh, Maccas does Brioche now but do they do it with amazing cut meats or southern fried chicken? I was confused as to what to call this place as it serves up an array of Americana type dishes with interesting add ons. What you can say is Dexter pulls off a very unusual offering while still being casual enough to not feel you need a PhD to understand the menu. I ordered the Big Dexter. Pulled Pork and Beef Brisket.... wow it was yum. I usually do the half way swap with the wife so we can experience more of the menu but there was no hope for this one. This was accompanied by Shoe String Fries finished with a BBQ Rub. .... Hold up. I can't forget... I actually started with a can of Tecate and Burnt Siracha Corn. Which was a great introduction to a lazy Sunday at Dexter. Can't wait to go back! Apparently the meat donuts are in high demand

With an emphasis of combining flavours of numerous asian produce, Burger Blocks reigns on their unique burgers with a touch of international flavours. The store is fitted simply with a high nested counter and a small number of chairs. On top of its relaxed and cozy atmosphere, from the moment you walk in, you are greeted with friendly service from the family owned cafe. Recommended from Brenda was the Black Jack & Red Lantern. The Black Jack is a Hong Kong and Japanese fusion burger, a delicious and flavoursome burger which consisted of American cheese, bacon, grilled mushroom, spanish onion, lettuce, tomato, black pepper sauce and japanese mayo. What really stood out to me here was the black pepper sauce, the sauce was pungent and empowered the flavour of the burger as a whole. The Red Lantern is a Japanese and Thai fusion burger which consisted of american cheese, bacon, spanish onions, lettuce, tomato and wasabi mayo. Once again, the burger was tender and juicy and the ingredients worked well with each other. You can't really go wrong with fresh ingredients. Unfortunately I was disappointed about the spice factor, considering it was labelled 2 out of 3 spice level, I was expecting more of a punch, which the burger did not have at all. we also ordered the Loaded fries which consisted of aioli furikake which was roasted seaweed seasoning and aioli on top of a bowl of beer battered fries. A hearty accompaniment with our burgers and the flavours harmonized well If you feel like indulging, grab an Iced Chocolate or an Iced Matcha, as both of these drinks were sweet and delicious. I would like to thank Brenda once again for inviting us to sample their specialties and will definitely be dining there again if i'm ever in the area. 7.7 / 10

Moving to the High Street area around the Thornbury / Northcote border, this place originally…read morecaught my eye because of its name. That was back in June and I've only just had the chance to check it out. Not being a fan of eggs or avocado (blasphemy in Melbourne, I know!), I rarely venture out for brunch but with an interstate visitor in town, it was time to test out this awesome sounding cafe down the road! We were lucky enough to arrive when there were a lot of free tables (NOT the case by the time we left!) and chose to sit at one of the booths. After drooling over the menu and specials offering I was left with two options and sought assistance from our waitress. Here I encountered the honesty you don't expect from an employee - she informed me that one of the options I was choosing between was actually quite a large serving and therefore if I wanted to share with my dining companion, that would be enough to satisfy the two of us. However, my friend had her heart set on her own different menu choice so I thanked the waitress for her advice and went with my other choice which was a delicious bagel. As it was, I couldn't even finish half of it and ended up taking the second half home for a late lunch / afternoon snack (and it was still so tasty the second time around). I loved the staff, I loved the food and I loved the coffee. I'll definitely be back!

It's a fish & chips place, but they also served burgers, steak sandwiches, etc. I'm not much into fish, so I went with burger and an order of chips. Reasonable prices. I think burger, chips, a soda, and ketchup ($1) came out to be $13? Around there. Everything is cooked fresh. Burgers are usually really oily, especially if cooked on a cooktop at a fast food joint. Surprisingly, it wasn't oily at all! It was a very enjoyable burger. A bit on the bland side, but the ketchup (that the cook puts on your burger) helped. I got it with bacon - didn't realize it would be Canadian bacon. Still, it was good! Chips were decent, can definitely tell they were made from potatoes and fresh, too. Very lovely owners, very mom-and-pop place. I'll definitely be back!

The Staff are really nice at Chew and the turn around is really speedy. But getting back to the Burgers, just check out the photo attached to this review.

The majority of the menu resolves around burgers, but there are items to keep one interested such as the chilli dog, con carne, and buffalo wings. The choices of burgers are great, and range from a twist on the Aussie burger, the classic beef cheese and bacon combo, available in 3 sizes, mushroom burger, and a buttermilk fried chicken option.

I just felt like plain eggs and bacon with seeded toast today. The dish was good. The eggs were nice. Well cooked and just that right amount of runny yolk. There was a decent serve of bacon too. But it was a bit salty for me, though. Decent value dish overall I thought. The world's most beautiful woman had the pork egg benny. She reported it as nice but thought it needed a little bit of greenery. Her suggestion was to replace the haloumi with some fresh greens. We finished with coffee which was lovely.

I'd happily return although I thought it didn't match its current 4.1 rating on our experience today.
