Overview
Remember when the Queensland Government logo looked like a burger and chips? Sure, it was ugly — but it was also prophetic. These days, Brisbanites can't get enough of the good ol' bread, meat and accompanying fries combo. Every burger outlet in town knows what we're talking about, because they're all busy expanding.
Take Getta Burger for example, which started out in Carina and has been busy growing ever since. First, Bridgeman Downs, West End and Clayfield stores popped up. Next, Underwood and Ashgrove will get their own Getta Burger eateries — and if their Facebook page is anything to go by, the chain is more than open to suggestions about where they should open next.
If you're wondering why you should be excited about yet another place offering up more burger-munching opportunities, then you obviously haven't experienced one of their epic creations yet. With their handmade patties and hefty size, these aren't just your regular burgers. Crafted American style and loaded with everything from fried mozzarella sticks to 12-hour smoked brisket, they're the kind of meal that might take some folks two sittings to devour. Their filthy fries are similarly stacked with toppings, such as brisket, pulled pork, grilled onion and maple bacon.
Plus, if the regular 12-option menu doesn't hit the spot, Getta Burger's weekly specials — including pastrami and cheese, mustard potato chips, pepper steak and lamb shank-laden beauties just this month — probably will. And did we mention that they've also just added an apple pie shake to their offerings? With all that to choose from, two new stores really isn't enough.
