Best burgers in the Mornington Peninsula, and probably better than most burger joints in Melbourne…read more Menu with a few chicken, beef and sides options, with ability to turn any burger vego, and a vegan burger on offer too. You absolutely MUST try one of the chicken burgers as the fillet is crispy but not oily, and juicy but not so much that it makes the roll soggy. The beef is tasty, juicy and cooked ever so slightly pink in the middle. I came here twice in two days with a friend - have tried the Yankee Bird, Old South, Ol' Wheeler and a beef special of the day. No regrets. And I don't know what magic happens to the shoestring fries here but they taste as if they were deep fried inside a chicken. Winner.

My two friends and I were even given free coffees! Don't mind if I do! They really make conversation with you and care about whether or not you enjoyed your meal. That definitely is a rarity when it comes to businesses nowadays. This place probably has the best customer service I've seen anywhere! Food: They have delicious meals all at reasonable prices. My two friends both ordered Big Breakfasts, which is reported to be delicious. I personally ordered the Eggs Florentine with Smoked Salmon and it was honestly incredible. I even wanted to lick my plate clean. Filling, great value, absolutely delicious, you cannot go wrong. The only negative thing I have to mention is that there is a decently long wait time so don't go in if you're already starving and a bit impatient. The wait time is worth it in my opinion for the delicious and fresh food, but it's still something to be wary of.

We were told to go to Blackbird by a local shop owner and were so glad we took their advice! Blackbird Cafe is off the main drag down a laneway about halfway down Main St. We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning and though it was busyish they were happy to accommodate a table for 6 without a reservation. Breakfast menu had all the usual faves plus a couple of great vego options for us so yay - Vegan Breakfast and Baked Eggs. Our friends had The Big Breakfast, Eggs Florentine and Avocado Smash. Also each coffee comes out with a itty bitty piece of cake on the side - too cute! The Big Breakfast definitely lived up to its name - huge! The hollandaise on the eggs was raved about and my Baked Eggs were AH-mazing. Lesson learnt - listen to locals! Check out Blackbird if you're ever down that way.

Now onto the bad: We arrived right as the restaurant was opening and immediately got out appetizer, the focaccia bread with dips and olives. This was ok but it's also pretty hard to ruin bread and dip. The waiter stood around for nearly an hour and a half waiting for us to finish it before he even thought to bring our mains. Our main dishes were the wagyu gnocchi and the shrimp pizza (Gamberretto) as suggested by our waiter. The gnocchi came out and looked like a really simple dish. The gnocchi was mushy and the sauce was nothing special. Honestly it could've been regular ground beef and I wouldn't know the difference. I feel like if you're going to use wagyu you should make it more prominent in the dish. The Gamberretto pizza was uninspired. It just tasted like plain pizza with shrimp on it. There was no real flavor to it and was really disappointing. To add to all that the pizza was so oily or so wet that it just drooped when you picked it up :/ We debated whether or not to get the apple pie dessert. We thought it'd be just as tragic as the rest of the meal had been but ordered it anyways. It was as expected, not very good. TLDR; Great location, meh food, get drinks here instead!

Would have to say my favourite was the polenta chips!

We found this place as we wandered down Main Street and I was very pleased we did.

Looking forward to some good Afghan food but just as I was about to order, was told that they had run out of lamb except for the kebabs. This was around 8pm. Not impressed by this, and not feeling like eating chicken, I got the lamb kebabs. It came on skewers with rice, yoghurt and pickles. The food was ok though the lamb was perhaps a little overdone. Overall I expected more for the price, as the food was only a little better than the average kebab shop. Would have loved to try the Afghan national dish that they ran out of. Not feeling anything special here.

After a 20 minute wait i went back to counter to chase up my order. I was told it was my fault that I did not get my items ordered and eventually got given frittata in takeaway and my coffee was sitting on a counter for i don't know how long. This was all in a non busy time. When i went to the counter to chase up my food and coffee after a 20 minute wait i was told after 2 it was takeaway so apparently i should not have sat down as specifically told to do. Customers are expected to know all of this as the worķers just tell you lies and then blame you for not knowing their serving rules. When I spoke to the manager she reiterated that it was my fault and then blamed me for upsetting her staff member. When I said I was a tourist and could not be expected to know the serving rules, the manager and another server smirked at me. They made it obvious that they do not like tourists. At no time did I raise my voice or say anything to the staff member that was in the least bit rude. All I said was asked where my order was and told her that it had been 20 minutes. I also said that she told me to sit down when I ordered. I do not blame the server as it is now clear that the problem is extremely poor management. There was obviously some mistakes made but their response was to blame the customer and then falsely accusing the customer of upsetting a staff member. As a tourist to this area, i would not recommend this place and will never come here again. Lots of other friendlier and more professional places in the same shopping area.

The flavors are quite interesting. We ordered the Duck & 5 Spice Pie and a Beef & Burgundy Pie. The duck pie tasted a lot like Chinese BBQ duck which was kind of weird but interesting.

The attached grocer has a good selection of fresh fruits/ veggies and frozen take home meals which would be very convenient if you're staying somewhere with a kitchenette. There's a few Red Hill Bakers around the area.
