Overview
There's about to be plenty more crinkle cut chips and beefy brioche in east Melbourne mouths. Huxtaburger is opening a fourth instalment, the very first for the eastern suburbs. Taking over 681 Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn, Huxtaburger's newest joint will sit within the restored Lido Cinema Centre — yep, that cheeky $5.5 million eight-screen complex set to open in June.
The Huxtateam have thought long and hard about their next move, following the recent CBD opening and their already buzzing Collingwood and Prahran stores. They've picked an eastern, high foot traffic spot on Glenferrie Road close to the much-anticipated cinema complex, Swinburne University (students are widely renowned burg fiends as a general rule) and the Hawthorn Aquatic and Leisure Centre (because everyone wants, nay deserves a post-workout burger).
Huxtable head chef Daniel Wilson points two thumbs to the sky for the new location too. "It is a great fit for Huxtaburger; being a vibrant Melbourne hotspot, but one that’s retained some of its eccentricities and old-school charm over the years," he says.
Expect the Huxtamenu you know and love from the Northside burger lovin' crew, with southern fried chicken Clair burgers and those juicy, juice beef Huxtaburgers rolling over to the east with crinkle cut chips in tow.
Huxtaburger Hawthorn will open its doors on Friday 15 May. The joint will be open from 11am – 10pm, Sunday to Thursday and from 11am -11pm on Friday and Saturday.
