Overview
A Brisbane favourite for waterside eats, Pony Dining at Eagle Street Pier has just introduced a new range of five lunchtime burgers with a gourmet twist. Think soft shell crab with wasabi aioli, pickled radish and betel leaves; braised wagyu brisket with green mango, grilled pineapple, coriander and sticky chilli barbecue sauce and the gourmet David Blackmore’s Wagyu Cheeseburger. We took the chance on Sunday to head over, soak up panoramic views of the Story Bridge and sink our teeth into a few buns – and boy, do Pony have some contenders for best burger.
The cheeseburger is possibly the best you’ll ever eat – the patty still slightly pink in the centre, balanced with cheddar, mustard and pickles. Heaven. The soft shell crab works well with the wasabi mayonnaise, but is perhaps a little delicate in flavour for the bun. But best of all, the wagyu brisket. A fresh and Asian-influenced feast – the beef is tender, perfectly soft and accompanies the grilled pineapple, green mango, coriander and sticky chilli as though they were soul mates.
General manager Trent Farrell said the Pony on a Bun range was designed to entice office workers from their cubicles and are priced lower than other options, without skimping on quality. The burgers available noon-3pm, starts at $16.50 and includes french fries. Read more about Pony Dining in our full review.
