This is a fabulous burger joint! We drove into Launceston hungry and discovered this gem of a place and their food did not disappoint. The ATMOSPHERE is cool, hip with plenty of tables, a long wooden bar top and a very modern mural on the wall. The place was spotless! We saw staff wiping down tables numerous times, and very quickly right after people left to accommodate the next customers. The STAFF, was genuinely friendly. They seem to enjoy a good chat and were very knowledgeable about their menu, and showed the genuine interest in their restaurant and their customers experience. The FOOD, we were starving when we arrived and so glad that we were. Give us an opportunity to try several different items off the menu. We ordered two Americana and they came out just as we ordered them. Also tried one of their signature hot dogs, a large order of french fries and seriously one of the best order of onion rings I have ever had. The LOCATION, the restaurant is in the city so if you drive in you need to be prepared to pay for street parking. Which is easy enough to find and not that expensive. The restaurant is also close to the shopping precinct, so making a day of downtown and parking once is easy done. All in all, a lucky find. We will be back and think you should check it out!!

Absolutely famished by the time I came in, I ordered the Vegan Cheeseburger. I misunderstood the $2 Onion Rings charge as I assumed that the $17 price for the burger included a side of fries, and so I was paying an extra $2 for the fries to be replaced with onion rings instead. I also changed up from vegan cheese to regular cheese (and was again charged the extra $1 for it...wouldn't vegan cheese have been more expensive anyway?) and ordered a Dr Pepper to treat myself during the festive season 🎄 The burger itself was really good! The patty was cooked perfectly with the quantity of lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and sauces spot on. The onion rings were absolutely amazing, and although it was $10 for the side, they were well worth the spend. A little dear at $34 for a meal (this review may have lost a star) I later scanned the QR code only to see that adding a Coke and fries may have saved me over $10 however had I not paid for and received those onion rings, the meal would perhaps not have been as enjoyable as it eventually was! And to replace a Dr Pepper with a Coke?......plllllease!! I'd hate to drop a star for criticism, and so would encourage management to brief patrons with bundles (Coke and fries) when ordering at the counter. Can't wait to head back for another!

Wow, what can I say. The burgers here are great! This place is very popular with locals and for good reason, great burgers and sides! This is a 'cafe' style burger restaurant where you decide what you want to order, and pay upfront and then go and find a table to sit (perhaps find a table first and have someone from your party sit to reserve it for you). Staff will bring the food to the table when it is ready. I enjoyed the 'dirty double' which was essentially a double cheeseburger with a hash brown, bacon and caramelised onions. I came with an appetite and it did not disappoint! The side of poutine was good with a flavoursome gravy and the onion rings were the best I have had in a while. They were golden and crispy on the outside. Beers on tap are also available. This is not a place to bring someone on a romantic date, but is suitable for friends/family or any casual lunch or dinner when you want good food in a lively atmosphere.

Ever wanted that real Canadian/American burger joint experience? Burger junkie has got you covered with its juicy and loaded burgers. Not to mention that their sides like chilli cheese fries and wings are gloriously tasteful. If you're craving some nasty junk food, this is it! You cannot have burgers n fries without some cold beer and they've got some exclusive international beers that blend well with the food. Oh and to top it all, they've got amazingly affordable weekday offers like 50c wings and $18 beer jugs. A special shout out to whoever decides their music because I was banging to my favourite rock songs while thulping those Xtra spicy Tabasco wings. Highly recommended if you're a burger junkie!

You may be tempted to get your burger fix from fast food vendors, but do yourself a favor and go to Burger Junkie instead! Tasty classic beef burgers with a generous selection of quality toppings, good fries, and the occasional specialty dessert (like the lamington trifle we got on Australia Day pictured below; the burger was eaten too quickly to photograph). They have kid portions and a few chicken options, too. It’s a fun, casual atmosphere with a full bar and pinball machine to keep you entertained while you wait for your food. Service is fast and they have highchairs for the littles. Easily my favorite burger in Tassie!

Not open when hours advertised say it is open. Drove ally the way to find it’s closed. So the one star is for the experience and the taste of nothing. Edit - look that was my hunger speaking. But it’s not too hard to change your hours on google / maps. You obviously know how to respond to google reviews so you would have been reminded to update your hours by google. Which show you are open tomorrow and the next day and the next. I’ll remove my review once you update your hours so others don’t show up thinking you’re open. Hey folks - have you sorted your holiday hours being up to date? If so - I can delete my review.
