After a long ol' day at work, nothing beats a top-notch burger, so be sure to head to Beach Road Hotel in Bondi for some delicious eats. Tuck into their succulent beef with caramelised pineapple and special sauce, or bite into their falafel option with slaw and aioli.
Over at Surly's in Surry Hills, you can chow down on delicious, smoky smashed beef patties, plus side dishes such as their moreish poutine. Highlights include the B.B.B., which comes topped with streaky bacon, smoked BBQ brisket, cheese and chilli jam.
Every Wednesday, Forrester's serve what is possibly the best chicken burger in Sydney, as well as sumptuous stacks of beef, lentils and even a rotating weekly special for just $12 each. Add crinkle cut fries for just an extra $3, then finish with one of their tasty beers or refreshing cocktails.
The Rook rustles up some of the best burgers in Sydney's CBD. Located on a trendy rooftop bar, decked out with stunning murals and hanging chairs, this is a gorgeous spot to enjoy their juicy wagyu beef bun, which is piled high with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles and sauce.
Wondering where serves the best burgers in Sydney? The Taphouse in Darlinghurst is a hot contender as they cook up a delicious variety, including a mouthwatering fried chicken sando which you can scoff down along with perfectly crispy fries.
A totally bizarre burger restaurant in Sydney, Karen's Diner is an immersive experience where you're encouraged to argue with their purposefully rude staff. While you vent your anger, tuck into US-style buns, washed down by quirky cocktails and craft beer.
