The burger
Matthew B.

So, there has been enough written about this place, and I don't want to go on and on. But this is a solid burger joint. I have been there with my lady friend a couple of times now, and each time we are impressed by the burgers - American Cheeseburger style, and the tator tots with dipping sauce. I don't think this is an 'OH MY GOD IF YOU HAVENT BEEN THERE YOU HAVENT LIVED' situation, but would recommend that if you are in the mood for an awesome burger, definitely hit this place up. I have travelled from the other side of the city to go there when I get a craving. Two thumbs up!

Being a fan of Burger Foundry, Burger Theory & Burger Addiction, I was very much looking forward to the new & trendy 'Nordburger.' It was also great to discover that one of my MasterChef favourites, Michael Weldon, was the man behind it all. I entered Nordburger last night with high hopes. My first impression of the restaurant was an extremely positive one. The layout was both visually and practically pleasing and my order of a nordburger, tator tots and a can of coke only clocked up about $13. I loved the American style feel of the joint and the idea of being able to watch your food being made in the open kitchen. After a pleasant wait of no more than 15 minutes, my order was ready. The burger was a fairly decent size for what I had paid, and was well presented. The tator tots were deliciously crispy and salted and my can of coke was ice cold. Now it was time to taste the order! The soft bun of the burger was fantastic, and the salad and sauces were of high quality. I felt that the only thing letting it down was the taste of the burger itself. Although it was succulent and juicy, the flavours were nothing special. Compared with other burger joints around Adelaide, the burger seemed terribly bland, and I felt it needed more spices and possibly could have been cooked slower. I will definitely be returning sometime in the future to try the other menu options. I think that next time I will opt against sauce and mustard, because these sauces almost make it seem like I'm in a down market fast food chain. The nord sauce is a real highlight and I think the burger could have done with more of that. I have given Nordburger 3 stars, literally the only thing bringing it down being the burger. Service was fantastic and staff were extremely friendly and approachable. If I see an improvement in the burgers I would happily give Nordburger 5 stars!

Music is dope. Ordered the classic cheese burger and some chilli fries on the side. Easy to eat but could have done with a slightly bigger pattie. Awesome service and will so be back. Yuuuuum. :)

The Adelaide community had really built this one up for me; I'm always worried that I get too caught up in the hype. I'm a big fan of burger theory and had heard many comparisons - so my expectations were very high (esp considering one of the owners is Masterchef Alumni). I have to say I was let down by the burger, but let's set a scene. We went on a Sunday later morning/almost lunchtime, it was pretty busy, but we expected this! I loved the interior but the layour was awkward, mean there has to be a lot of excuse me's/sorry can I just/do you mind if? I feel like the whole thing would be better with a traditional fast food layout, counter at the back tables filling the rest of the room. I ordered the regular cheeseburger and a salted caramel milkshake; the server was super friendly and talked us through his favourites. The food and drinks were okay, but nothing mind blowing, I'd recommend the shake but only just. Maybe they would have tasted better if I hadn't had to question my own moral compass whilst obtaining a seat, maybe not.

Finally got myself to Nordburger! There was a line up but mostly for takeaway. There's probably no more than 15 bar style seats in house but the turnover is pretty fast it doesn't take long to get a seat. The music did get kinda loud while we were there so it was hard to converse but I suspect they don't really want you to hang around and hoard the seats. The menu is straightforward with choices of burgers and hotdogs followed by sides of fries, tater tots or chilli cheese fries. We had the classic cheeseburger tonight, beef, cheese, pickle mustard and ketchup in lightly toasted bun. I noticed they smash their burger patties just like some burger joints I saw in America. The cheeseburger was delish and up there with some of the best around town. They also sell milkshakes, classic flavours of strawberry, choc and vanilla or specials like espresso, Snickers and more. Being a peanut butter maniac, I tried the Peanut Butter & Jelly shake - so good! Pricing is very reasonable with burgers starting at $8.70 and sides $3. It's a decent serve of fries and tater tots, they really pile the tray! All in all a good burger joint with awesome milkshakes.

I enjoy going to this place because there is such a cheerful atmosphere inside! You can see your food being prepared by the chef, I think watching that is fun lol. And tater tots are so yummy! Chilli cheese fries are good too, the fries stays quite crispy. As I am not a huge sweet tooth, I think their shakes are a bit too sweet haha, here's the losing star. They are still amazing it's just my personal preference! If you are going to order the chilli cheese fries... Please! Just order that and a drink first! It is so good but so filling!!!!! I ordered mine with extra beef chilli(I love chilli food), and a shake and I struggled finishing them! Sooooo full ahh! I wasn't extremely hungry though, and you can always order something else if you feel you are not full after these! The meal comes out quite fast! Street parking available. When it's busy lunch time, keep your ears up as they call your name when your meal is done, there's no number plate or anything. As its noisy and the music gets loud, sometimes you wouldn't hear when your are called.

Dinner tonight :-)

OK, Nordburger. If I had written this review after the first time I had been there, it would have gotten 5 stars, hands down. However, I have since been back a couple more times, and have found it to be a bit hit and miss. All three times I have had the same food, a Nordburger with cheese (NO PICKLES!), Tater Tots with fry sauce, and a Salted Caramel Shake. The Tater Tots, were just as you would expect them to be, pretty much the same as the frozen tater tots you can buy in the supermarket. But the burger and the shake the first two times I went there - OMG! The burger was fresh, and made with really good quality ingredients, and the shake was AMAZING!! However, the third time that I went there it was much later at night, and the food was VERY ordinary. The shake was undrinkable and the tater tots inedible. the tater tots, tasted like the oil was overdue to be changed, and the shake tasted like the icecream was no good. The burger was still great, but it didnt make up for the other two items. Now whilst this was at 9:30pm - it was on a Saturday night - and Nordburger is open until 10pm. In my opinion, a burger bar, that is open late, should be able to serve the same quality of food no matter what time of the day you go to eat there. I still think it is worth a look, particularly if you are headed in there at normal dinner time. The atmosphere was nice, although a little crowded at times, and the staff are very friendly. But I would not recommend this one for a late night feast. I will be back, but after my late night experience, it will be a while.

Ok, now that I have been to The States, I feel like I can review burger joints properly. Nordburger hit the ground running when they first opened their doors and for good reason. They serve quality simple American Style burgers. This is not about fancy relishes, vegetables, or patties. This is good quality beef, bacon, cheese, tomato and lettuce. I think that some guests come here expecting something unique. Don't do that. Nordburger are trying to stay true to the traditional sense of an American style burger joint. And I think they really deliver. I ordered the Nordburger, because the first taste has to be their signature dish. It was a great burger! The patty was flavorsome and not overcooked (awesome), the bun was fresh and not too big, and veggies were sliced thick. There was also a good portion of sauce on the burger without it dripping everywhere. This is what burgers in America are supposed to be like, so well done Nordburger for staying true! As for tatertots, well they are just so damn tasty and crunchy! But, next time I think I need to try the chilli fries because I got automatic food envy when I saw those come out.

Bacon Double with Tater-tots!

You'll often hear a lot of burger enthusiasts state that American burgers are vastly superior to anything they can get in Australia, and for I while I thought " What could be so different? Surely, its just the same bit o' meat in a bun with some extra stuff. After returning from the US a couple of months ago I can assure you that there IS a difference; the burgers over there are just.. BETTER. Meatier, juicer and tastier - and these aren't from some hipster burger bar in the rough part of town; these are BASIC burgers you can get from national chains like Five Guys and In-n-Out. You'll see burger bars popping up now that serve burgers with all sorts of exotic ingredients from single-origin kale to spicy lime mayo; all of which hide the fact that the Australian burgers are generally just dry and bland - no one had really nailed the BASIC AMERICAN burger - Beef patty, american cheese, lettuce, tom and maybe a cheeky bit of bacon. That was until I finally sat down at Nordburger: Before I even had a bite the first thing I noticed was the interior; A lot of burger places in Adelaide have this mentality that in order to be an 'American-style' burger bar they need to have 'memorabilia' and booths with red and white checkered upholstery. Nordburger is modern and casual; communal tables and bar stools - it actually felt like the definition of a 'burger' 'bar'. The kitchen isn't hidden away in some dark corner behind a window in the wall; you can actually see the staff right in front of you cooking your delicious burger, manically running around one another while still having a bit of fun. Burger of choice for the first visit -The Bacon Double, as soon as I saw it one the menu I didn't even bother reading the rest - it was meant to be. Finally, a basic American burger in Adelaide; it was amazing. The patty has cooked perfectly, brown with just a little bit of pink in the middle. It was juicy, but so juicy that most of it runs down to your elbows. There was nothing dry about this burger, even the buns had a fluffiness to them. The bacon, cheese and salad compliment the burger perfectly, no need for extra fancy sauce. I ate every last delicious drop of that burger. I was confident enough to state right there and then that this burger was the best in Adelaide. I've been back a few times now and still to this day can say the same thing. I literally can't fault Nordburger. Burgers are #1, sides are great, imported sodas, reasonable price, energetic staff, social atmosphere, casual, modern, local... I could go on, but it's making me crave another visit one more and more. Highly recommend. 5 stars is not enough, needs at least 50 stars with a bald eagle, guns blazing and riding a grizzly bear. U-S-A!

I can't remember where I first heard about this little burger shop but I found myself wanting to pay it a visit as soon as possible. My friend and I went in about 3pm on a Sunday afternoon and the place was quite busy. The staff were so friendly and actually looked like they were enjoying themselves whilst working. The interior is plain white tiles and extremely simple but it just works. The seating area is small but because you are served quickly and food is brought out quick, turnover is fast too. My friend and I both went with a cheeseburger and it was made quickly right in front of our eyes. The tiny kitchen area seems difficult to work in but all the staff make it seem effortless and have a great system in place. The food is fresh despite Norburger being fast food. You don't get the feeling of sickness and regret usually associated with fast food after eating it. I adored the quaint silver platters everything is severed on. Staff clear plates efficiently and stop to chat and ask how your meal was. One girl even asked my friend and I if we were Instagramming or Yelping as we were on our phones I can't wait to go back and try the hot dogs and the milkshakes. This place is going to be even more popular as time goes on.

First of all, whiskey is native to the bluegrass state (KENTUCKY) and though whiskey is 'the drink' of the moment it's time too shall pass... Since the 1700s New Orleans is and has always been a rum city, but hey, why be bothered with the details or with authenticity, right? I mean who cares that the iconic poboy sandwich is supposed to be served on a French baguette (which could likely be sourced from another local biz just around the corner -Le Carpe Diem, Grenfell Street) when you could use a (possibly cheaper?) inferior Vietnamese roll? Back to the food: we sampled the fried chicken which was a very small serve for the price and it was accompanied by a mayonnaise 'sauce' - why is it needed? Is there bread to make a sandwich?!? Um, no. So, I gave it a go and found the sauce bland, tasteless, and utterly unnecessary. It's mayonnaise! With nothing else. Fried chicken in the States doesn't ever come with a sauce! Ever. Back to the chicken, it had a delightful crunch and was reasonably well seasoned but far too greasy. If served with grease glistening then it should sit on a piece of bread to soak up the oil OR should be blotted with paper. Not good. Next we had the Marlin tartar which was one of the few unique and creative takes on NOLA cuisine; it was presented on a crisp much like a Zapps' Potato Chip (for Western Hemi folks). This is something I can recommend without reservation. Then we sampled the rabbit stew - very, very tasty with just enough seasoning, however too much rice and not enough rabbit. One last thing, it is a total and complete sacrilege to have a Mardi Gras party on the first Friday of Lent. Pure and simple commercialization. If you can't do it on Shrove Tuesday, just give it up!

The interior design is unique and follows trend with the rest of the exposed brick, high metal stools, wooden floorboard, crates behind the bar look that most bars are going for now days. But the black and white theme, fake grass and bi-fold windows opening out onto Flinders St, had me at hello. The wine list is impressive and there isn't a bad list of boutique brews, but nothing game changing. Today we ordered: Garfish with chips and salad for $16.50 - good value if done right (unfortunately the fish was rubbery, chips undercooked and the aoili was the highlight) Chicken caesar wrap for $9.50 - bargain but too oily, soft chips and lacking in a salad filling. Bar service is incredibly friendly and efficient however we waited over 20 minutes for our meals to come out at lunch when it was reasonably quiet. Add on to that the fact that at this stage no food is available from 7am-12pm or 3-5pm and I feel the concept of turning an old Milk Bar concept into a cool bar, restaurant has lost the essence of the need for "convenience." This place is in it's 1st week of operation and I'm definitely going to give it a go in a couple of months to see how things iron out because as Liz A said, Flinders St needs a bit more hipness and booze injected into it and these guys could just do it!

The service & product I received from this quick transaction has firmly secured it as NOT one of those future places. Myself and my colleague walked in and stood at the bar waiting for what appeared to be The Manager and a Staff Member having an altercation. Something small but a conversation that should not be had in front of customers, let alone a conversation to keep customers waiting. Once their "chat" was over, we did not even receive a "hi" or a "hello" or a "sorry about that" but a very cold "what can I get you?" I ordered a "take away double shot espresso" and was met with the blankest of blank stares. I felt like I had just spoken in Chinese. I repeated myself but changed it up a little "an espresso but with an extra shot" more blank stares. Eventually she quizzically asked "is that a short black?" I responded, "yes, but with two shots of coffee instead of one". No apology or acknowledgement or for the confusion just a "that's $4.50" I handed over my money and my colleague then ordered - a "large take away latte" and received the same response "that's $4.50" she too paid her money. After a few seconds I asked, "sorry, I just want to double check, should have our coffees been the same price?" I felt like because of the earlier confusion perhaps I had been over-charged. Because surely, how can 2 shots of coffee with no milk & 2 shots of coffee with a large amount of milk cost the same? Who I assume was "The Manager" chimed in with "Well they both have 2 shots of coffee so yeah they are the same price" Call me crazy, but milk is not free right? I made a comment along the lines of "ohh ok, that's interesting" "The manager" then shot back "well that's the cost" I apologised and said "I'm sorry, I was just a little confused, we normally go to a place across the street (every single day!) and I get the same order for $3.20. We thought we would pop in to give you guys a try and I just thought it was unusual for both of our orders to cost the same, despite the large amount of milk" The Manager flatly replied "well your lucky to get that across the street then aren't you" He then very condescendingly showed me the take-away cup with the two shots of coffee in it and said "that's what you wanted right?" I felt embarrassed, belittled, undervalued & miss-understood throughout the entire transaction. And to top off the experience, the coffee itself was full of coffee grounds. They missed an opportunity to gain a very regular and repeat customer.

There's a big statue of Captain America and batman, and plenty of figurines such as fantastic 4 or star war troopers.

Good luck if you can finish this off in the designated time frame. We ordered the: Wagon wheel milk shake: A Sweet & Simple chocolate Shake, Topped with more chocolate on the sides, whipped cream and a giant wagon wheel. Sugar fixed solved. Thumbs up! Sides: Crispy Shoestring Fries, Seasoned with Tex/Mex Spices, Served with Tangy Fry Sauce. Absolutely fantastic! Special milkshake of the month: Princess Leia!!

Small Ribs with sweet potatoe fries: 12 hour braised and hickory smoked american pork ribs that was on a bed of sweet potato dries.

Ever wanted some 'dirty American' food but can't find it because you're vegan or eat gluten free?…read moreWell fret no more because Two-Bit Villains is here to save the day! Two-Bit Villains is located in a beautiful, yet often overlooked, area of Adelaide - upstairs in the Adelaide Arcade. One of the things I love here is that they provide separate menus for gluten free, vegetarian and vegan (alongside their 'regular' menu), so if you follow one of those diets you don't have to scour through the menu to find something you can eat. A nice little touch that makes everyone feel included! The owners Sass and Liam are also lovely people who really care about making their food good - and good it is! I have to say their onion rings are top of my list for best ever. Their vegan menu will even have carnivores salivating - everything truly is delicious and so well put together. And be aware - if the menu tells you something comes in a large cup - it really means LARGE (try the massive mocha, it's delicious)! A highlight of TBV for me is their home made soda. The flavours vary from day to day so you get to try your luck for something different each time!! Fancy it up and make it a float for extra deliciousness. A great, friendly place for a quiet lunch or a cool drink. Head in and see for yourself!

The food was very sub standard - at the end of the meal and paying around $543 for dinner (5people)…read more- unbeknown to us, we we were charged a 20% tip (over $105) which was not disclosed to us at the time of paying, and not found out until bank accts were checked the next day! APPARENTLY on calling the restaurant the next day (once we became aware of this extra unknown charge), this was our fault (although we we were only given the meal price at the time of paying and no tip amount was mentioned) The restaurant did give back the tip after confronted by the people whose bank acct had been debited for the meals at the time, but when I asked they refused any further refund for anything else such as time and worry for what had occurred (and possibly extra bank charges). It is an absolute disgrace - It is criminal to take money from a patron without their knowledge - we are so trusting but should not be (it is difficult to fathom why a restaurant would do this in the first place and I do not understand it, but in the future will be extremely wary) WE will not ever be back to an establishment who allows and supports tip money to be withdrawn from bank accts without a person's knowledge - also sick of getting ripped off for sub standard meals We are interested in knowing who takes an extra 20% from a persons acct without their knowledge (on a Wednesday night too) I advised the person at the restaurant on the phone about the review which would be given, which is justifiably deserved, however care factor was nil. If you decide to go to this rip off substantive restaurant, when paying, check what they are deducting from your bank acct first- it's a bloody disgrace !

Good Food Walked in…read moreoff the street, place was empty! They gave us a table as long as we were out by 8.30pm - REALLY This was a Tuesday night and empty, but REALLY, YES! Within an hour this place was packed and they were turning people away! Pros Friendly helpful staff Food good, although blue cheese sauce a bit runny! Cons Cold plates so the food gets cold quickly!

I liked this bar- quite a selection of draft beer, as well as a huge amount of wines. You can tell…read morethis spot is popular with the locals, as it was packed every Happy Hour. There is a cool glass wine cellar where you can see lots of bottle of wine, there is a water feature that's cool, and you can sit on one side next to the lobby or at tables on the other side of the bar. A nice vibe altogether. Simply a nice gather spot with lots of cold and fresh draft beer.

Collins Cocktail heaven…read more The Collins will spoil you for all time -everywhere in the world (well maybe not the Traders Bar on the 33rd floor of the Sheraton sipping a Rose Lychee martini overlooking the Twin Towers in KL - are you green with cocktail envy?!) This is my special night out or even not so special night out starting point. The cocktails here are truly unique and now having collectively tried quite a few with partner and friends I can't find fault. (My personal favourite is the Violet Champagne Cocktail.) The setting is luxuriously decadent and seductive, the cocktails seduce even more and the alcoholic ambience is stupendous. A Sydney friend makes this her only must do whenever in Adelaide. Not that us Radelaideans need to compare ourselves in anyway - do we? I can't rave much more except to hint that whether it's Valentine's day, Birthday, Anniversary, Chinese New Year, Haven't Seen Old Friend's For Ages or you've just had a shitty week at work make a beeline for The Collins. Your efforts will be rewarded and the world will look beautiful again.
