Cheese Toast Returns: Fritzenberger South Bank Has Brought Back Everyone's Sizzler Favourite
The Brisbane burger joint has gotten its hands on an original cheese toast machine — and you can nab a piece for free with a burg or main dish purchase for a week.
The days of Sizzler are long behind us, with the buffet chain closing the last of its Australian eateries back in late 2020, but cheese toast is back on the menu in Brisbane. Let's be honest: the beloved bread dish was the real drawcard tempting diners to the chain (well, that and being able to eat as much dessert as you like). Now, it's making an appearance at Fritzenberger South Bank after the burger joint picked up an original cheese toast machine.
This stomach-warming favourite has joined the Little Stanley Street venue's range, but if you'd like to enjoy a piece for free, you only have a week to head by. The cheese toast will be on offer at no extra charge from Monday, June 10–Sunday, June 16, 2024, with a caveat: it's only free if you purchase a burger or a main.
Fritzenberger's take on the cheese toast features thick white bread topped with parmigiano reggiano. "We've stayed true to the iconic recipe, but we've used higher quality ingredients to really intensify the flavours," says Executive Chef Sebastien Calais.
And yes, the burger spot is promising a cheesy crust and pillowy bread beneath, because every Sizzler cheese toast fan knows that the contrast of textures is one of the reasons that the dish is such a hit.

For decades, feasting your way through a Sizzler buffet was a regular part of Australian life. Families headed to the all-you-can-eat chain for special occasions, teenagers went along to gorge themselves full of bottomless soft drink and soft serve (and combine the two, obviously), and absolutely everyone couldn't get enough of the brand's beloved cheese toast.
But leading up to 2020, Sizzler restaurants were shutting down around the country. Then Collins Foods Limited, the company that owned and ran Sizzler in Australia, announced that it was shutting down the chain's last remaining stores. Cravings for its cheese toast were never going to fade, however — and now you can pair the dish with burgers.
Fritzenberger South Bank is serving up free cheese toast with the purchase of a burger or main dish from Monday, June 10–Sunday, June 16, 2024. Find the eatery at Shop 11 and 12 Little Stanley Street, South Brisbane — open from 11.30am–late daily. Head to the chain's website for further details.
