Weekend burger runs for lunch between errands and we decided to check out Burger Me in Calamvale with some friends. I had read about this place quite a few times on Reddit with the general consensus that they were one of (if not) the best burger places in Brisbane.
The shop was fairly small but we did manage to grab a table. It became quite packed by lunchtime with the bulk of customers ordering for take away. Whilst there was one staff taking orders, they also had a machine to take orders as well.
We had two combos between the two of us. Dr L upgraded his drink to an oreo shake. He enjoyed it but had it been ordered alone, this would have been $10.50, making it definitely on the more expensive end, especially given the price.
Dr L had the All In double, comprising of two black angus patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and burger sauce served with fries. The patties were juicy and on the thicker side (definitely not a smash patty) whilst the salad was a bit more on the minimal side. Compared to other chains such as betty's we found it to be on the meatier and heavier end, leaving us full for the majority of the day. Fries were generous and well made, crisp but not greasy whilst also being well seasoned.
I can't resist truffle when I see it on the menu, so I got the truffle cheesy double, with two black angus beef patties, american cheese, swiss cheese, sautéed onions, pickles and truffle mayo, also served with fries. Compared with the other truffle burgers I've enjoyed at other places, the truffle flavour on this one was definitely far more subtle than I would have liked. The patties were thick and juicy but there was probably too much sauce (although the flavour was light) as a considerable amount ran out of the wrapping. At almost $30 for a combo, it was definitely pricey for a burger, chips and drink but the quality was definitely head and shoulders above other fast food chains.
In summary, we thoroughly enjoyed the burgers at Burger Me. Did it live up to the expectation of being best in Brisbane? Probably not (my fav is still BBQ Mafia at Coorparoo), but I wouldn't hesitate to come back again if I was in the area.
