This place creates some great burgers... The sweet brioche buns are amazing, especially the crispy crunchy bits! I like the small uncomplicated menu. They have a decent range of beers, not standouts. The burgers are made quickly and ARE delicious. The chips are ok, unfortunately, most of the time they can dry for whatever reason. Good service generally, but there are a couple of Point of Sales operators that are a tad flaky and slow. I only say this, because they standout compared to all the other hardworking and sociable staff. But that's my only complaint and it's small. It was probably exasperated by my hunger for my huxtaburger at the time! Eat there! read more

Good burgers cooked fresh while you wait. There is always a line though, so you will wait. They taste very similar to the famous Andrews Hamburgers of Albert Park. I will go back next time I am in the area. read more

I am out of words, it is a really good burger joint, something with a difference, the burgers are also large with not so large prices. "Theo" as was suggested by a lot of other helpful yelpers was really good. So do try them out. read more

This is my favorite burger place in melbourne. It's small but amazing. The cue can be long but you can enjoy a beer whilst you wait or sit in the bar next door and they will bring your food in whilst you enjoy a drink. My girlfriend had the sondra. Which is a tofu burger and I had a theo. a double meat double cheese with bacon and BBQ sauce and a side of fries with a Chilli salt mixture on them. A great meal. You have to try a burger from here read more

This was the second time we have been to huxtaburger and I am still a fan! A nice simple menu that plays on its strengths - BURGERS. A few friends have found that the burgers are too greasy... but my experience suggests that it depends on the burger you order. This time I stuck to the standard Huxtaburger and had no issue. If you dont have any fat on your meat, its no good anyway! :) The chipotle fries are tasty too and are always good as a side. If you are going with friends and are eating in, make sure one person stalks a table out the front and the other orders. It will make your life easier as seats are at a premium. read more

Short version: For damn tasty burgers go here, leaves an awesome after taste in your mouth. The only negative, could be a bit of a wait. *TIP* - Cash only - they take no cards. Long verson: I went to Huxtaburger a couple of weeks after it had opened, when there was much hype about this new burger joint going around. I had trouble finding the place, I was either blind or the big "BURGERS" sign that's there now is new. Once there I had to wait what felt like 30 mins for my burger, I finally got it and it was the wrong burber. I ate it anyway, but I had a bitter taste left in my mouth with all the waiting. Months later (last weekend) I decided to give it a try again, this time I got there just before lunch 11:45 Saturday and only had to wait 5 mins for my burger. It is a small kitchen, so I'm sure they're still busy during peak periods, but they did seem a little more organised than last time I was there. This time I got what I ordered (a Bill) and it was delicious, tasty meat cooked to perfection, nice and juicy, leaves you wanting more, the bun is a little sweet too. The menu is simple, a few burgers and some fries. It's a simple rule that Gordon Ramsay uses, small menu, keeps things easy in the kitchen and the food fresh. read more

Huxtaburger has five burgers on offer which are either directly or indirectly named after characters in The Cosby Show. We choose the "Theo" which is the Huxtaburger on steroids. Double beef pattie, double cheese, bbq sauce, mustard, mayo, tomato sauce, tomato, lettuce, pickles and bacon. The place also serves "cold" beer so I happily ordered a Lord Nelson Old Admiral Ale (6.1% alcohol) which is one of my favourite beers made in Sydney. The hamburgers were brought out looking stunning on a silver plate with crinkle chips. The bun held everything together surprisingly and also complimented the taste. Normally you think of the bun as an aside, a matter of convenience so you can eat with your hands, but this one was quite special and given the large double cheeseburger was a mere $11, it was certainly worth it. More beer was ordered and the ATM on-site was utilised since they only accept cash. Like at the Grace Darling Hotel, there was an interesting mix of people coming and going everyone looked relatively happy and sometimes even amused as they eavesdropped on our conversation about life. My life was certainly enriched a little finding both Huxtaburger and the Grace Darling Hotel. read more

I had heard great things about this place, how amazing the food was. best burgers in Melbourne etc. etc. Once I got in there and saw the line, I thought, geez this place must be good, but then noticed that it was a complete hipster hangout, and even if the food was bad, the people would love it just to be "cool" Anyways ordered my burger and chips, was told 20 minute wait, finally got my burger after 45 minutes and after people who ordered after me got their burgers.... To be perfectly honest the chips were the worst chips I've ever had, tasted like oil... thats it, no seasoning, no potato just oil. I had like 3 and then threw them out. Then the burger... well the bun, this tasted like pure sugar really could not taste bread in the slightest. the burger tasted like mustard and oil... I think thats all I could taste... after I had a few bites my mouth felt like grease and regret. Also the burgers are very small, probably because after a few bites you need to throw it away, so less food wastage for them. For a burger that will fill you up, and doesn't make you feel like you drank the oil from a deep fryer I would suggest going to Grilld. However if your a hipster, and want to be will all your other hipster friends, then this is totally the place for you. read more

Ordered a Denise and Chocolate milkshake. This is Huxtaburger, so obviously they're bloody amazing. The Denise is the perfect level of spicy and the milkshake is full of awesome chocolatey flavour. The staff are great, really nice people. Will definitely be back for more. read more

FOR: Excellent, well-cooked burger. Also, crinkle-cut chips! AGAINST: Staff are too busy talking to each other & looking cool to worry about giving particularly good service (To the point that they managed to miss the chips from our order), and whatever that deafening "music" was, it made me want to wait outside in the cold rather than be subjected to it any longer than necessary. Almost excellent, but let down by an overdose of attitude. read more

Just amazing burgers. This is Australia's answer to 'In and Out' .. The range is great and caters for all tastes, from beef, lamb, pork and fish. These places are becoming institutions. read more

If you're looking for one of the best burgers in Melbourne, come no further than Huxtaburger. Unpretentious, simple burgers in the lightest and fluffiest bun going around. I generally like my burgers to be bigger, but it was so well-proportioned, it wasn't so much of an issue. Only drawback was having to wait half an hour, which at the time was incredibly frustrating as I was just looking for a quick meal. Yet once I sunk my teeth into one of their glorious burgers, none of that mattered. (Chips r pretty good 2) read more

The fries are amazing! Very fresh.. Overall the food is great. We got the Hextaburger with a chicken tender. The burger was good, nothing that really blows up your mind. I definitely recommend the fries! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE the burgers here - the Denise is my fave, hot for some extra kick! Chips aren't all that fancy - just crinkle cut, but cheap beers are a saviour :) read more

Melbourne's Best Dude Food BY SHARKING FOR CHIPS AND DRINKS These posts are a long time coming. My hard drive had a slight meltdown over Christmas so I had to wait for it to come back to life so I could access my photos. But here we are, at last... Dude food went global during 2012. Of course, establishments across America are well-versed in the pleasures of meat in bread, but last year saw London welcome some heavy hitters, such as Pitt Cue & Co, Dirty Burger, MEATLiquor, Duck & Waffle, and Burger & Lobster. While Melbourne fell for the cardiac-inducing charms of these beauties: I was there on Day One and (despite previously having sworn allegiance to Andrews in Albert Park) I thought that there would never be another contender to the title of best burger in Melbourne. But then Rockwell came on the scene just 300 metres away, and I was smitten. There's room for both, though. Huxtaburger is the place you stop by for a quick takeaway or eat-out-front fix, but Rockwell is where you go to eat your way through with menu with a few beers. The Huxtaburger team are about to open in the CBD so the burgery-goodness has love, will travel. And Andrews gets relegated to the bench, sorry guys. read more

Best Dish Forward: The Theo. Theo Huxtable has accumulated some solid credentials since leaving the Cosby Show, coproduced the Magic Schoolbus, had a respectable stint as a slam poet, and boasts key roles in at least 3 failed sitcoms. However, even if Malcolm Jamal Warner discovers the cure for cancer, the Theo Burger at Huxtaburger will still be the most impressive thing to his name. Suggestions: Wait times are tough on the weekends, and despite all logic, Bill's Bar next door doesn't let you take your burger to enjoy an amaretto sour with your butter soaked burger. A battle I en devour to fight on your behalf. read more

As a vegetarian Huxtaburger offers one type of burger (tofu) and some fries. The burger is pretty decent though it does not live up to the hype surrounding the other meat burgers, it's a better option to venture to one of the other eateries in the area for better vegetarian food. The interior is cool and retro and there is a secret door next to the kitchen that leads to a bar next door that's worth checking out. read more

A great, greasy, delicious, cheap burger. Theo is clearly the best with 2 patties and bacon (duh). The fries are good as well but the cajun ones are simply not worth the belly space. The Denise (the hot one) is delicious but not so hot (similar to the real denise in my humble opinion). The burgers come out quick and one of the lovely cash register ladies is especially gorgeous so cross your fingers she's there whenever you go! Only complaint: As a Cosby show fan, I feel as though thematic elements could go a little further, but hey, a good burger's a good burger I guess. read more

Massively overhyped - it's just a standard burger in all it's fattyness, soggy sweet bun - much prefer Danny's Burgers in Fitzroy North. The chips were just standard frozen variety, and my partner had the uninspired tofu burger which wasn't even crispy and she's felt sick all night ..... Don't bother hipsters.... read more

Probably the most over hyped piece a crap burger I have tasted. 9 bucks for a raw burger cooked by children, tastes like McDonald's, looks like McDonalds. 40 minute wait for one of the worst burgers ever Seriously so many choices I can't see this surviving king. read more

Huxtaburger - Burgers Near Me - Collingwood, VIC

The best thing about Huxtaburger is the warm, soft buttery bread that it comes in. Seriously, it makes all the difference when you want to sink your teeth into a thick juicy burger after a few drinks. Eat your burger over your chips and don't let go until you're done, then enjoy your crinkle cut chips soaked in juicy goodness. Get the "Theo", because double. read more

Enjoyable burger, but a bit pricey and seriously limited seating. We sat outside and it had seating for perhaps eight people, four tables and just two inside. Very squeezy! I had the basic burger and made the assumption that chips were included. Sadly, no. While I enjoyed it, and the beef patty was moist, it was ok, but just ok. It was $8.50 for the basic "model" and from there you add $3 plus for various combos of the basic huxtaburger. Would I eat here again...perhaps. I may seek out a pub instead to get better value for money. read more

Delicious burgers! I got the simple cheeseburger, chips and shake. Perfect for me. The Bun is so soft and the meat / patty and cheese basically melt in your mouth. Highly recommend this joint read more

Very small shop so there really isn't any place to sit in store but there are seating outside and a dining area next door which is also theirs. Ordering system is ordering over the counter with a name and they'll bring it out calling your name. They don't have a big menu so it makes things easier for us to decide. I've tried all the burgers on the menu and they all come in the same soft sweet bun which is melt in the mouth goodness. Patties are juicy and the lettuce and tomato in the burgers makes it refreshing so you don't feel so bad eating it. The burger comes out on a silver tray and a basket for your chips/fries which is very takeaway like. Real fastfood stuff. I do recommend trying this place out but it's not one i'll always return to. read more

The Theo with Sriracha in place of BBQ sauce. That's the business right there

The Huxta empire continues to expand. These guys have nailed the Brooklyn schtick (down to the beer in cans). Tasty burgers done very well.

I have supped here many, many times since Huxtaburger opened. Make no mistake, the burgers are pretty close to what you might experience in any US burger joint, in terms of flavor. Given the current obsession in this neighborhood with American cuisine, there are far more noteworthy establishments serving up authentic fare. Huxtaburger has slipped, with poor food quality, service, sloppy presentation, and serves up lashings of attitude. Eat elsewhere. read more

First time here. It's a very small place.with a simple menu. Ordered the Theo burger which consists of 2 beef patties, pineapple,cheese and crispy bacon with bbq sauce. It was delicious and greasy in a good way. Washed this meaty goodness down with a salted caramel milkshake. Will definitely be back. read more

Service was unbelievably slow....just ordering tested me greatly. I went with a friend, and despite ordering right after her, my burger came out 10 minutes later and was not hot. In saying that though, the burger itself was reasonable, patty was tasty and juicy and overall just the right size burger but the bun was a bit sweet for me and seemed like parts of it had been deep fried. I got the potato rosti instead of chips which was actually pretty good. I wont be in a mad rush to go back but not awful. read more

For all the praise this place gets, this was probably the worst burger I've eaten in a very long time. The meat patty was tough and dry and the cheese did not help at all. Was really disappointed and as much as I'd like to be able to say something positive, the best I can say is that the hit chips were fine... read more

Yammy burger, nice staff, couple of outside sitting benches. Had the double patty and it was yummy:)

Very disappointing. My burger was raw and only slightly browned. Both my children's burgers were rare. I was on a schedule and decided to just not eat the meat. The waitress kindly asked me what I would like to do about it rather than offer a refund. Only one component in a burger needs to be 'cooked' they couldn't even get that one part right. It with the health department now with photos and a sample of the burger. Duchebags read more

Had the 'Denise (the hot one)'. It was literally the BEST burger I've ever had. Cost $10

Not the best value ... I find the burgers here tiny in comparison to others.. it is all about the bun and the sauce not the patty. I compare this to the maccas cheeseburger plus more sauce and other condiments plus higher price tag... the fries??? hmmm try it once and can give it a miss if you come back to try the other burgers.. I've been here twice over the years.. only because the competition had not caught uo yet.. but now that there are so many around... I feel Hux's burgers are not with the changing burger landscape and influence. my opinion only. read more

Maybe it's expectations, but I was not at all impressed with my Huxtaburger. I've been a couple of times, hoping to find the Holy Grail that everyone has talked about, but the sad reality is that these are not great burgers. The bun is fine, but the burger themselves taste as if they are your basic processed burger - they may not be, but that's how they taste and look. read more

Awesome burgers.... probably one of the best if not the best burger i've had. great atmosphere. and love that you can get an awesome burger, perfectly cooked crinkle cut chips, and a brewski. Only thing is seating is a bit tight, but you put up with it for a burger. Had the huxtaburger and was awesome but looking at trying the one with the double beef and bacon. read more

Not super great. Although the burger was ok the chips were horrible. They were over cooked and over salted. Wasn't the most welcoming atmosphere either. If heard good things so I was kind of disappointed with what I was served. read more

For real? Did I go to the wrong place? All those good reviews...? The burger was boring, watery, untasty (Huxtaburger) and the fries was nothing spectacular at all. Nah, Ill leave my food not even half eaten and head to McDonalds instead. read more

Nice enough burger I guess I had The Huxterburger. Chips were good as was the shake. Reasonable prices. If comparing to Maccas its a step up I guess. Fail to see what all the fuss is about? Good marketing maybe? I read today they have expansion plans doubt it will travel well, just sayin read more

Burgers are pretty good but the long wait is off putting. If you live nearby, it's worthwhile calling ahead to order then pick up in 30 mins!! The chips are always amazing. The burgers are a bit too small for my liking. The flavor is always good though. If you like your burgers with the lot w old fashioned over the top size then you might be disappointed with this. May be good to order a few. read more
