Tried out Burger Republic on King William Road on the weekend.
They don't do kids meals/ burgers except for a cheeseburger which was overpriced crap.
I had a chicken burger with fancy cheese and fancy lettuce which was pretty good but it was small compared to the price.
Missus had a beef burger with all the trimmings which was quite good as well.
Kids shared a beef burger like the missus.
Both kids had an Oreo milkshake whilst I tried their Henry Ale's x 3.
Total was about $110 less the 25% which made it about $82.
Not cheap but will go again.
7.5/10
So assuming the 2 shakes and the three beers were 25% percent of the bill, then it cost around $82 for three hamburgers. Yowzers.
I kind of don't get the fancy burger thing. Now don't get me wrong, I like a good hamburger, and I'm all for tricking up the standard issue burger with some fancy ingredients. But at the end of the day it's a just bun stuffed with greasy meat, salad, other bits and bobs, and some cheese. Given a choice of driving across town to one of the hipster burger joints and paying twice for what I can get at the local take-away, I'll take the latter every time.
Whilst the new-school burgers can taste amazing, the bog-standard burger is still reliable and tasty and IMHO not worth the upgrade as a general rule.
Beers were $8 as were the shakes.
So it was $70 for 3 burgers.
I did get some fancy sauce as well. :D
Yeah give me an old school fish shop burger any day.
