Brooklyn Depot Is Bringing their Gold Coast Burgers to Sydney

There ain't no burger like a Queensland burger, it seems — even if you live in Sydney. Perhaps that's why the Sunshine State's finest purveyors of beastly meat-and-bread combos keep expanding down south. First it was Ze Pickle; 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 (i.e. All The Sides), and their signature drinks: not only alcohol-infused shakes, but also rum old fashioneds.

After wowing Surfers Paradise over the last year, sharing the love with Surry Hills — and making locals feel like they've been whisked to a bustling corner diner in New York — is the next thing on burger bar's agenda. Come May 19, that means more US-style meals more often — as if Sydney was wanting in the American-style burger department. But we're swayed by their famous 'Brooklynised' fries with bacon, onion rings, cheese sauce and frickles (aka battered and fried pickles).

We'd say it all sounds too delicious to be true; however when it comes to Queensland culinary delights gracing Sydney's streets, that's swiftly proving the opposite. First it was doughnuts. Now, it's the kind of burgers most people only dream out. And soon, ice cream sandwiches will join the fold. It truly is a glorious time to be alive.

Find Brooklyn Depot at 65 Holt Street, Surry Hills from May 19. Check out their website and Facebook page for more information.
