Upon entering Milky Lane, Cairns' latest burger haven, I found myself immersed in an enchanting world of extraordinary flavors and a vibrant, friendly atmosphere that surpassed all my expectations of a 'burger joint'.
The moment you step into Milky Lane, the vibe is a perfect blend of chic contemporary elements and a nostalgic nod to the classic burger joints of yesteryears. The uplifting background music harmonizes perfectly with the visually pleasing decor, creating a convivial environment that sets the tone for the remarkable dining experience to come.
However, the absolute standout of Milky Lane is, without a doubt, their burgers. Each is a marvel, boasting a combination of flavors so superbly balanced that they taste like a culinary symphony. The ingredients are obviously of the highest quality, with the fresh, crisp produce providing a delightful contrast to the succulent, beautifully cooked meats and the homemade sauces adding that final touch of magic.
The crown jewel for me was the 'Big Poppa Ultimate Burger'. This majestic creation is a testament to the ingenuity and culinary prowess of Milky Lane's kitchen. The burger's juicy, well-cooked beef patty, melting cheese, flavorsome bacon, and the unforgettable secret sauce are packed between two fresh buns - an ensemble that not only met but exceeded my burger expectations.
What's impressive about Milky Lane's menu is the wide range of options, ensuring there's something for everyone. From veggie delights to heavenly desserts and creative, cosmic-themed cocktails, it's clear that the team at Milky Lane have thought of everything.
Ending on a sweet note, I would highly recommend the 'Stellar Salted Caramel Sundae' - a perfectly decadent treat that blends sweetness and richness in equal measure, making it a fitting finale to a star-studded meal.
Service at Milky Lane was no less than exceptional. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and well-versed with the menu. Their warm hospitality added a personal touch that elevated my dining experience to new heights.
In summary, Milky Lane is more than a burger joint - it's a must-visit culinary destination in Cairns. Whether you're a local or a tourist, do not miss the opportunity to enjoy a meal here. I am already excited about my next 'Big Poppa Ultimate Burger' indulgence!

Read moreSo to begin, me made reservations and when we showed up we’re not greeted and when I gave them our name they sat us in a dark corner when they weren’t busy, not the biggest deal but they just handed me a menu and pointed to the corner and said “you’re over there”.
We weren’t told where to order or anything. A staff member came and took our order on a tablet and when I asked how to order something else if we decided to, she said to flag her down (that did not work)
We weren’t given cutlery and had to find people to ask, often the first person asked never returned and we had to find someone else. Our food got cold by the time we were given utensils. Our burgers came about 20 minutes after our side we ordered came out and my burger was cold. I didn’t want to say anything as we had already went through a lot of asking just to get the one side we ordered right and something to eat it with. We were pretty much ready to leave before our burgers even came out. The food was okay but really wasn’t much special about it other than the cool names and outrageous sounding toppings.
The staff and the person I’m assuming was the manager or owner were just standing around and talking to each other, not checking on tables or anything. Not once did I see any staff check on any tables. Extremely poor customer service. On top of all that it was extremely hot and there was a ceiling fan caked with dust to the point it was stringing off the blades, I noticed and as someone in customer service myself, that was alarming and honestly gross. I had been told by many people not to waste my time or money by going here, honestly that’s the advice I would give to anyone on the fence...

I recently had the pleasure of trying the Snickers thick shake at this cozy little joint. Let me break it down for you:
The Shake: The Snickers thick shake was an absolute delight. The flavor was spot-on, with that perfect blend of chocolate, caramel, and nutty goodness. It left me craving more, even though there was one tiny hiccup.
Texture and Size: Now, here’s where things get interesting. While the taste was top-notch, the shake wasn’t as thick or as substantial as I’d hoped. Perhaps a little extra ice cream or a bigger serving would have made it a true showstopper. But hey, it still managed to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Atmosphere: The restaurant’s atmosphere is nothing short of fantastic. Picture this: a laid-back joint with a hip hop vibe. The beats were grooving, and I felt like I was in a music video. Kudos to the ambiance!
Service: Ah, the Achilles’ heel. Despite being the only customer there, the service took longer than expected. Maybe they were perfecting another Snickers shake in the back? Regardless, a quicker turnaround would have bumped up the rating.
In summary, if you’re after a killer shake and a cool vibe, this place is worth a visit. Just be prepared to chill out and groove to some beats while you wait for...
