It changed hands ages ago and that pic doesn't look like the original Buxton Burger as was one big meat patty not two.

yea I thought that, and they don't look very thick either.. just all salad...

[Foss]

Yep, word from a "friend of a friend" who lives up that way, since new owners took over, the place is supposedly nothing like it used to be, and the food quality is just not the same. Can't say I have been there for some time myself though.

Hope it dosent go the way of Rustic Berger's in Seymour on the Old Hume Hwy . That closed after almost 54 years of full trucking tummies & a few owners . All that's left ic mackers ,,,              

[Black Diamond]

What's the name of that joint as you leave Negambie Speewa Billy's from memory?? They don't make a bad one

[speewa158]

Used to till it changed hands a few years ago , but chips & gravy is pretty special on a cold day

We used to live in Narbethong, so that was our local take away. Went back a couple of years ago and not a patch on what they once were
Danny's Burgers in Brunswick was another haunt of ours...yum!

Always Shits me to tears when you get a meat patty 5 mm thick and a pile of chips like it's spoked to compensate.
It's called a burger AND chips for a reason luigi!

Cripes! When did that happen???   

As a burger there about 6 months ago. (A few weeks after the meet up near Kevington.)

Just chatting with a bloke about it, he was thinkin of a drive up that way

anyone been in recent times... most reviews on google/trip advisor are very mixed since the new owners few years ago...

[richo9923]

If your still talking of the Buxton Burger, a mate of mine just bought a property up there and have been up a few times to visit, had the burger on the second trip up ( about 3 weeks before xmas) and no I wouldn't recommend it as the sole reason for a trip up there, however a drive along the black spur in minimal traffic will always bring a smile to your face! I now stop at Healesville and hope that the Beechworth bakery still has a stockman's pie.
All said and done though it is a beautiful part of the state and no matter what the weather is it always makes me hate the city even more and look forward to not having to be here any more.

Last time I went up that way the local tracks were torn up, you needed 38s to get through the ruts. Didn't stop for a burger though.
