Overview
There ain't no burger like a Queensland burger, it seems — even if you live in Melbourne. Perhaps that's why the Sunshine State's finest purveyors of beastly burgers keep expanding down south. First it was Betty's Burgers — now, it's fellow Gold Coast-based outfit Brooklyn Depot.
Of course, you can't tell the eatery's state of origin from their name, but you can tell the theme of its cuisine. Yes, everything American is on the menu here, including stacked towers of beef and cheese, a hearty list of wings, rings, strings and things, and their signature drinks — which not only includes alcohol-infused shakes, but also a rum old-fashioned or two.
After gaining fans in Surfers Paradise, where they opened in 2015, Brooklyn Depot has since opened in Brisbane and Sydney — and come this Thursday, February 23, they'll be flipping burgs at 399 Lonsdale Street. As if Melbourne was wanting in the American-style burger department. But, nonetheless, we're swayed by the promise of their 'Brooklynised' fries with bacon, onion rings, cheese sauce and a side of frickles (aka battered and fried pickles).
Brooklyn Depot will open at 4/399 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne at 11am on Thursday, February 23. Check out their website for more information.
