The best works burger I’ve ever had! Juicy, cheesy pattie, with fresh salad etc. on a crunchy roll. Old fashioned friendly service and prices. Located at the start (or finish) of the rail trail

So first time at this place today. With out a doubt one of the best burgers I have ever had. Smashed it out the park. Beetroot, bacon, pineapple, onions cheese and the egg was cooked to perfection. Oh yeah and Tha patty was much bigger than the bun. Like a real burger, Sorry, I mean Real Aussie Burger is supposed to be. Not like the McChucka's crud... Thank you so much for restoring my faith in the Aussie Cafe!
