Two Fat Buns Essendon — Restaurant in Melbourne

I rarely post reviews so I only do it when I really have say.

My partner and I came here tonight to try out this place.

He had the buffalo chicken, and the loaded brisket, in which he rated both items. I had the loaded chicken which was heavenly and I highly recommend it if you’re not super hungry, but want to try something different.

I even tried the mushroom sauce my partner got on the side and just to clarify, I don’t like nor eat mushrooms and this mushroom sauce tasted like an incredible pepper-like gravy which tasted yummy so that in itself speaks volume.

The staff were friendly & the service was good overall.

I’d suggest to give this restaurant a crack, as it won’t disappoint.

Ps. In case you’re wondering what the dynamite sauce is, it’s chipotle mayo 🤤

Verdict: Absolutely delicious, and will endeavour to visit again very soon.

UPDATE: it saddens me that there’s been a change of owners… for several reasons:

1: although the taste of the food is the same, there is a little bit of stinginess when it comes to quantity. The sauce and chicken in particular when getting the loaded chicken 2: the attention to detail when it comes to customer service: my partner requested extra mushroom gravy on the side for his burger he ordered, and after the lady over the phone reconfirmed his request, he somehow ended up getting extra mayonnaise?

Not sure if I’ll be going back now, unfortunately it’s just not up to par as it was when the previous...

Extremely disappointed, I used to come regularly and obviously the business has been sold since the 2 men that always served me are no longer present. My friend and I almost slipped as the floor was slimy slippery, the server told me the drinks are not cold because the fridge isn’t working, we waited 30min since the worker was on her own doing everything, I couldn’t find any tomato sauce on any table since all containers were empty! The bathroom was dirty and didn’t have toilet paper, tissue paper or soap! The TV’s weren’t on and no music. This visit was truly disheartening, especially given the positive experiences I’ve had in the past. It’s upsetting to see the quality of service and maintenance decline so...

Used to be my fav place but has the worst burgers now. The burgers used to be big and sausy that you wouldn’t have minded having expensive burgers because it had such great taste. But now as the owner has changed the quality of burgers have dropped significantly and they have also increased the prices. Very much disappointed by the customer service. I always used to customise my burgers as per my requirements before but now it literally took me good 15 mins to at least explain what I wanted to such unprofessional and inexperienced chef. The burgers had no sause and both the grilled beef and chicken patty were burnt. Highly disappointed!! Never going...
