Super Combo

Inspired by owner Hao Vu’s undying childhood love of Street Fighter, this modern burger place in Bowen Hills has entered a cheat code to level up the humble sandwich. The menu here draws inspiration from street fighter characters around the world (think Hadoken Japan, Beet Down Australia, Yoga Flame India and more) and is complemented by tasty sidekicks like super corn gems, chicken poppers and creamy shakes.

Ze Pickle

These humble burgs born on the Gold Coast by three boys from Burleigh have become some of Queensland’s favourite eats. Ze Pickle has since expanded to Brisbane and Sydney, taking its ethos of unpretentious food, quality beats and good times to the masses.

The burgers on the menu at Ze Pickle bear tongue-in-cheek names, heapings of condiments and layers, and are ready to conquer any appetite. Their sides, bar snacks and desserts are also not to be missed, so make sure you don your stretchiest pants when dining here.

Ben’s Burgers

A true pillar of the Winn Lane community, Ben’s Burgers is essential eating on your quest for the best burgers in Brisbane. A short and sweet menu makes choosing your dinner that much easier - choose from a classic, cheesy or veg burger along with a side of fries or chilli fries.

Ben’s Burgers is a convenient and casual place to drop into before heading out for a few cocktails, or for a lowkey date night with your boo or your bestie.

Fritzenberger

It would be easy to mistake Fritzenburger for a bustling bar when you drive past their Wilston Village location on a weeknight, with their packed tables of joyful patrons. But this humble (and popular) burger joint is one not to be missed when hunting down high-quality carbs.

The menu comprises classic burgs, rebuilt with chef-sourced local ingredients to deliver taste, texture and balance, best served with a side of fries and one of Fritzenburger’s craft beers. The fries (or as they call them, frites) are given the same amount of care and attention as the burgers on the menu, so make sure you add a salty side dish to your night out at one of the best burger joints in Brisbane.

Jee’s Burger & Chicken

As much as we love a gourmet burger with a twist, sometimes something simple is best. That’s when we head to Jee’s Burger & Chicken, for a quality, classic burger experience that never disappoints.

Chef Ricky Kim (formerly of Two Small Rooms) was so passionate about returning to top quality, simple ingredients and burgers made well, that he set up shop in the CBD to bring the inner-city folk the meals they’ve been craving. With a simple menu spanning American-style burgers, hand-cut chips and crispy Korean fried chicken, Jee’s might seem unassuming, but the endless five-star reviews don’t lie.

Brewski

For the ultimate knock-off snack, weekend feast or mid-week social hang, Brewski is the place to be. Whilst their menu heroes some seriously tasty snacks (think free-range wings, deep-fried pickles and popcorn chicken), their burgers are the real stars of the show. Noteworthy menu selections include their award-winning vegan cheeseburger, infamous Double Brewski burger or the mouthwatering brisket burger.

Brewki’s charm lies in its cosy, rough-hewn interior, charming courtyard and historic touches like the original fireplace and Chesterfield couches. Book in your bestie and make a date to nosh on some of the best burgers Brisbane has to offer.

Burgster

Whilst this one is a little bit of a drive from Brisbane, we had to give an honourable mention to the best burgers on the Gold Coast. A hop, skip and a jump from the main drag in Palm Beach, Burgster is a local favourite when it comes to casual lunch or dinner eats.

This cosy and nostalgic diner is known for its housemade sauces, and top-notch organic, free-range meat. They sure know how to mix a cocktail, too! We love the buffalo chicken burger (stacked with pickles, lettuce, tomato and blue cheese mayo) but the crumbed mushroom burger is not to be missed, layered with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and Burgster sauce.
