If you long for a time before wagyu beef patties, when options for sauce were limited to tomato, and fries was cut only one way, you're going to feel right at home here. Danny's Burgers is an institution in Fitzroy and has stood the test of time.
Styled as a vintage, American-style diner, the washes of shiny, red, plastic counter-tops and washed-out vintage Coca-Cola posters are the time machine that takes you back. However, a large flatscreen TV airing almost exclusively cricket and Aussie-rules football will bring you back to this continent.
The menu only has a few items but can be a bit complicated to read at first. There's burgers that come with your selection of toppings, or you can choose from one of the signature combinations. Add fries and turn it into a combo, or opt for the very Danny's experience of having a side of dim sims with your burger.
After a big run or session at the gym, sometimes you just need to replace that energy
This is a big burger. It's unapologetically simple. It's a plain bun which was a little dry - you'll find no milk bread or brioche here. The two patties are slabs of beef with a simple seasoning and cover the entire burger. By default there's only a little lettuce and tomato sauce and in a homage to our dairy industry, we added cheese. The pile of fries was a little underseasoned but there's no shortage of sauces and seasonings available to you to change that.

Just as good as A1 but without the line - wood-fired Lebanese-style pizzas and pies on the same block.
