We ordered via text 2 x bacon cheeseburgers, double paddy, double bacon on both, no bun for both and a half serve of chips with extra seasoning.
Within a minute our order had been replied to and we were given a wait time of just over 15 minutes. This gave me sufficient time to watch a couple of reels about how awesome border collies are, put on some pants, and head into town whereupon I was greeted with a friendly smile and my completed order.
This stressfree and streamlined process meant I didn't have to have any awkward conversations whilst waiting, and it was so quick it made me wonder if I could have gotten away with not putting pants on at all.
When I got home the burgers were still warm and they were presented immaculately. Little paper burger wraps to hold the burger together had a super cute "Love You" written on them, and an epic amount of lettuce leaves around our meat, cheese, maple bacon and pickle stack so that we could hold them in our hands and for just one minute could pretend we were not glutards and were able to eat a burger like real people without the aide of a knife and fork. (They do have fantastical gluten free buns but we personally opt for less carbs and more protein)
The chips were perfectly seasoned to my liking and were a tantalising mix of super crunchy, and soft and fluffy. Great by themselves or for using to mop up the burgers juices that had dripped down my chin, hands, elbows and onto my plate. Insanely juicy burgers!

Read moreTime and time again, Normal Van delivers. They have perfected the pinnacle of a great North American style burger and chosen elevated, fitting, side dishes. The brand itself is fantastically designed, the theme of laid back, yet professional vibes shine through across the venue. The outdoor dining area is enchanting with soft lighting and sprawling vines, and gorgeous solid wooden tables. The indoor dining room feels homey and inviting.
The bacon cheeseburger is quite possibly the best I’ve had in Australia, with well balanced acid from crisp, crinkle cut pickles and onions fighting the fatty goodness of grass fed high quality beef, rich, generous cheese, and thick cut streaky bacon that lingers in your mouth after a bite with a subtle maple smoke. The normal chips on the side are well seasoned and addicting, providing a satisfying crunch and a perfectly cooked interior. The chips come with a smoked ketchup, reminiscent of a tomato relish with touches of sweetness and a deep oaky punch. Also noted is serving Dr. Pepper, an absolute classic to accompany this style of cuisine. Normal Van is a force to be reckoned with, and is most definitely the best burger in...
