Rocky Ridge Busselton — Restaurant in Busselton

I want to love this place so bad and i keep trying it hoping things will change and im left more dissapointed each time. Their beers are legendary unfortunately this has little to do with this place as a venue. The food [burgers] in particular are horrible. I eat almost exclusively burgers when i go out and this is one of thr grossest smash burgers ive had. Its a great quality mince blend used that is completely butchered by someone that has no clue about smashing a burger. No salt or pepper and seriously under cooked meant that i could feel a piece of beef in my mouth texture wise but there was literally no taste whatsoever. Not weak taste. Im talking literally no taste. Think like when you eat and you are really sick and cant taste a thing. I dont even know how thats possible to achieve with beef mince even if yoou do skip the s&p. Cheese is great and so is the bun but its drenched in kitchup if thats your thing then great i guess. I ended up eating the bread and feeding the burger patty to my dog and i was starving. Oh did i mention it was seriously under cooked. Like rare inside which meant all that besutiful fat in thr mince which youd expect in a great beef to fat ratio patty hadnt melted snd every bite was ridiled with enoumous solid chunks of gristly fat that ruined every time i tried to chew. It was reasonably smashed in the grill the effort was made it just wasnt left there for even half the time it needed. As for the drink i had which are those slushie vodka bevs. I dream of them because how nice they were at the start of summer. Today it was absolutely rank and tasted like childrens medicine not the lush twinpole and barely any alc hit i came tto dream about. No service whatsoever they expect you tto do everything except get your food from the kitchen. This plsce stands exclusively on the buildings layout and the great beers which are made elsewhere. All in all 80 bucks for two drinks 2 very small burgers and a kids burger no sides with anything and a not very nice meal or drink means the price leaves a bad taste in your mouth worse than the burger because as i mentioned- it didnt have...

I don’t want to overstate it but these are most likely the best beers on the planet. The only thing better than the beers is that every single staff member is genuine legend. If you come to Busselton and don’t visit the legends at Rocky Ridge, you are indeed, my friend, an utter fool. The vibe is perfect, there’s great food, did I mention it has a roster of beers that will probably make you weep due to the sheer beauty of it?

Ps. Bring your growler, your squealer, that old Mount Franklin bottle from the back of the fridge that’s been there for years, your rainwater tank, your 10 gallon hat, that old boot of which you only have one, the dusty old glass from 1980 your Nan keeps her dentures in plus any other vessel you can think of. Because you’ll want to take all the beer home. I mean, they’ll only fill growlers and squealers, but it’s worth a shot with the others right?!

Pps. This brewery gave beer away for FREE to people who’d fallen on tough times during the Covid-19 lock down, no questions asked, no judgement, no awkwardness, just like a mate that would help another mate. I know this because I was in there, buying beer for full price to make myself feel good to in some small way reduce the financial burden for this company to help out those less fortunate with a couple of litres or goodness. So incase you needed one more reason to buy beer at Rocky Ridge, just know that you’re buying it from a local business that gives back to its community without a second thought, and that’s about as...
