Mr Burger - Melbourne, Victoria

Also, if you ask our staff extra special nicely, we can also throw in a few dashes of our Scorpion Chilli sauce, a real 5 alarm fire! $13.5

Peanut Butter and Jam Milkshake - Milk was always a good choice at Mr Burger, with the old classic of PBJ. $7

Would I go back? It was a pretty chilly Friday, and I had a hankering for a sneaky lunchtime burger. Mr Burger to the rescue! Tucked away in an alley opposite the Queen Victoria Market, I satisfied my cravings with a spicy burger, crispy chips, and delicious shake in the industrial fit-out amongst other office workers and market goers. Nothing fancy, just yummy fare that I'd be happy to crave again.
