The Local Burger Co by Katherine

This is a relatively new place in a quiet part of Carlton. It just opened a month ago


and already they have had a fair few shocking reviews on Urbanspoon. But they are still setting up and playing with the menu hence give them a chance.

They are across the road from Depot De Pain that has been around for a while hence there might be some competition for customers at lunchtimes and on Saturdays and Sundays.




I met the lovely owner Evan. Here he was honest and told me that they don't have EFTPOS at the moment but they will. The lady at counter looked very sad and wasn't friendly. But Evan was. He loved to smile and show off all of the artworks. He tells me that this place is kid friendly.

Because they have just opened, they have a limited menu. Its only meat and veggie burgers at the moment, but they are thinking about getting fish and seafood on the menu. Oh and they have just applied for a liquor license but they have not got this yet, hence no alcohol.

They have outdoor and indoor seating.

I loved the look of this. This reminds me of the Grigons and Orr store where all the decor is very 50's like. Oh and because they are so small, there are no bathrooms.

Because it was so cold, I sat inside. The owner has a dog and sometimes he brings it.

I had their popular mushroom burger ($12) and a side of sweet potato chips ($3). Note these are rare in Melbourne.

I loved the mushroom burger. It was so big and the haloumi was lovely in flavour. It had that nice creaminess to it.

When you visit just ask for Evan and he'll happily serve you. And no there is no such thing as a 45 minute wait unless they are really busy.  Their burgers are good trust me. Also their chips as well. Give them some time and a chance.

I hope other bloggers can come and review the place soon.
