Betty's Burgers Is Opening Its Second Sydney Outpost in Castle Hill

Queensland-born cult burger joint Betty's Burgers is expanding its empire yet again, announcing it will launch its second Sydney outpost in Castle Hill this July.

Since opening the Shake Shack-style burger shop back in 2014, founder David Hales has turned his humble Noosa business into an Australian-wide favourite — having opened up shop in Melbourne, Brisbane and its first Sydney store in the ICC last June.

Compared with the Darling Harbour shack, which is a small 46 seater (20 indoor and 26 outdoor), the Castle Towers joint will have a considerably larger capacity, seating 85. You can expect the same menu of the Angus beef classic, southern fried chicken, pork belly and crispy fried mushroom burgers, along with Betty's signature 'concretes'. For the uninitiated, these are frozen custard shakes with your choice of mix-ins, including peanut butter brittle, hot fudge doughnut and lemon raspberry cheesecake.

The opening of Betty's Burgers is part of the Castle Towers Piazza revamp, with Holey Moley and Strike Bowling having already taken up residence and Rockpool Dining Group's The Bavarian set to launch in June. The beer hall has also just opened an outpost in nearby Rouse Hill, and if things continue this way, it looks like more inner city favourites will be making their way out to The Hills.

Betty's Burgers will open this July at the Castle Towers Shopping Centre at 6-14 Castle Street, Castle Hill. Keep an eye on its website for updates.
