Hungry Cow Woodfire Pizzeria & Burgers — Restaurant in Melbourne

AV's corner burger joint is back as the Hungry Cow as of the 5th of December, 2022! Don't confuse it for the previous stores that used to be here.

Popped by quickly for a take away Cheeseburger as part of their Grand Opening promotion. Staff were super friendly and up for a chat as we waited a little bit for the burger to be ready. Recommend ordering ahead on their website as you can also set a pick up time which minimised the wait.

The burger itself was tender and juicy with a soft fluffy bun grilled to perfection, along with a good pickle which wasnt overpowering. Sometimes getting the simple things is enough and Hungry Cow nailed it.

Look forward to coming back to try the rest of their menu, especially during their 2 for 1 opening special. Promising burger joint and can't wait to see how they develop as they pick up the ropes.

Update: Went back for more! Tried the Korean Chicken Wings, The Brisky Burger and the Crispy Pork Burger! Oh so Delish!

The wings were tender, juicy and plump! No skinny chickens here.

The Brisky melts in your mouth. Credit to the chefs for 48 slow cook and braise, as it was completely worth it.

And lastly the Crispy pork, which in its current form was a little dry. Which the chef sheepishly admits, they forgot to add cheese to the list of ingredients! (Ask to add cheese if you order this one) But more amazingly is the teams attitude, so open to feedback and always aiming to improve. Looking forward seeing how this corner burger cafe develops as they add more to their menu and branch into brunch and beyond!

P.S. It's easier to park along Canning St rather than...

@hungrycowau 📍Avondale Heights

✔️ French Toast, Biscoff Sauce ✔️ Potato Rosti, Cauliflower Puree ✔️ Rueben Sandwich

Hungry Cow Cafe is a new brunch spot located on Milleara Road in Avondale Heights. At night, it turns into Hungry Cow Grill, offering burgers and meats. 🐮

Their coffee and chai is by @undercoverorasters, they also do freshly squeezed orange juice and some great smoothies, we loved the Mango Mantra. Everything on the menu is made in house, so they are able to keep the costs down and keep the menu affordable! 🤑

The Rueben Sandwich used brisket instead of corned beef or pastrami like you would usually see. The brisket itself could’ve been tastier but paired with all of the other ingredients it was a good sandwich! 🥪

The French Toast had a texturally pleasant, crunchy outer, with a soft fluffy inner. We did sense the egg, which did turn me off a little, but you almost couldn’t taste it through the decadent Biscoff sauce. Our favourite dish of the three was the Potato Rosti, with perfectly poached eggs, chilli oil and a beautiful cauliflower puree. If the Rosti have been crispy, it would’ve been a faultless dish. 👌🏽

Overall we were super impressed by the cafe all of the dishes were expertly prepared with only slight improvements to be made. The venue itself could do with some refinement but they only opened last month and this may be on the cards for them. Happy to have a good brunch spot in the area.

You can still order burgers during the day, I’ll be doing a separate review on their Grill menu, so stay tuned (spoiler alert - it’s good!)...

I WOULD WRITE MORE AND PROBABLY WILL IF I'M ABLE TO EDIT BUT I AM CURRENTLY STUFFING MY FACE WITH DELICIOUSNESS! OMG! AMAZING! I DO WHAT I DO EVERYWHERE I WORK MY WAY THROUGH THE MENU AND I STARTED AT THE BEGINNING WITH THE CHEESEBURGER AND IT'S EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD BE!

SOME SIMPLE THINGS ARE PERFECT ONLY IF DONE CORRECTLY AND THIS WAS DONE CORRECTLY! PLUS FREE FRIES WITH A LOVELY SEASONING WAS A SUPRISE AND I WAS ENJOYING THEM UNTIL MY PET PARROT ATE THEM ALL!!! FINALLY! AN EXCELLENT BURGER JOINT IN AV HEIGHTS! VERY IMPRESSED ABOUT TIME!

YUM! MOIST. FLAVOURESOME! REAL BIG FRESH PATTIES! BALANCED.QUALITY INGREDIENTS.

SERVICE! WOW!... THE MANAGER AND I WERE TALKING WHEN I PICKED UP MY ORDER AND I TOLD HIM I WAS NOT FEELING VERY WELL AS I HAD CAUGHT A "BUG".. HE WAS VERY SYMPATHETIC AND KIND... SO KIND.. HE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO CALL ME THE NEXT DAY AND CHECK IN ON MY WELL BEING! (A CALL THAT I INVITED BY THE WAY). I DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO REMEMBER BUT HE DID AND HE WAS VERY KIND AND EMPATHETIC.. HE EVEN OFFERED ME A FREE BURGER TO HELP SAVE ME FROM HAVING TO COOK. WHO DOES THAT THESE DAYS?

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH KIND WORDS, THAT PHONE CALL MADE ME FEEL LIKE A REAL PERSON! NOT JUST A CUSTOMER. THANK YOU SIR! THAT CALL MADE MY DAY. I'M BOTH GRATEFUL AND RESPECTFUL THAT YOU EVEN REMEMBERED TO CALL AND ENQUIRE ABOUT MY WELL BEING! ALL I CAN REALLY SAY IS RESPECT..

AND OMG WILL...
