Burgerlicious

Just A-​OK.
An acceptable burger pattie slopped out of it’s bun and onto a pile of acceptable fries.
All other burger contents were great, including a delicious roasted capsicum and caramelised onion combo.
Service was top notch, framed by both a friendly hello and a well-​wishing goodbye.
The Big Veg is a good start, but perhaps try the Voodoo Veg.

The name is totally spot-​on. These are so delicious, I am having trouble not using superlative profanities to convey how delicious they are.
They have a beef, chicken and vegetarian menu. Not being totally into beef, I usually go for the chicken and vegetarian.
On the chicken menu; my favourites are the Chickadee and The Ruben. They are the tastiest things in the entire world, and nothing will convince me otherwise.
On the vegetarian menu; Tofusion and Big Veg are my favourites. Now, I know that not many people like tofu (I’m not one of them), but honestly, this is marinated tofu, and it’s excellent. Just open your mind a little and give it a try. Plus, it’s really freakin’ good for you!
That, and they have really good purportedly home-​style chips, which are apparently cholesterol free, and vegan-​friendly.
The prices are quite a little bit higher than fast-​food prices, and are actually closer to restaurant prices. A meal will cost you around $ 15, and a burger by itself, around $ 10.

Following the closure of Burger Fuel, this shop space right underneath the Coke sign remained empty for a good few months, before finally being prepared for a new tenant. Turns out it’s another burger joint!
Having first opened in 2003 in Newtown, Burgerlicious seems to have been a pretty successful venture! Offering all sorts of burgers, as well as nachos, salads and hot dogs, they definitely can’t be faulted on variety, and if you’re not feeling in a bun mood, then you can have your burger turned into a wrap or even just bun-​less. I decided to go for a ‘Bostino’ (beef, onions, swiss cheese, bacon, tomato, lettuce, avocado, mustard, horseradish relish, ketchup), mainly because I was hungry and it sounded like it was filling! Oh, and mustn’t forget the side of fries ($ 15.10 altogether, $ 11 for just the burger). The burger wasn’t unsubstantial, but I did have an image of some mega burger in my mind, which were not forthcoming. It still seemed to do the trick though, without being spectacular. The chips were a big disappointment and weren’t nearly as good as the ones at Grill’d down the road! Maybe it’s the fact that it’s only been open a couple of weeks and they just need to practice a bit more, but we shall see!
