300 Grams opened its Northcote doors to much fanfare in 2019. Since then, they've launched more stores in Coburg, Richmond and Prahran to meet demand for its beloved burgers. The secret to its moreish quality is its smash patties, which get pressed onto the grill until they develop a delicious and crispy finish.
The 300 Gs burger, which comes with all the classic fixings plus the shop's secret sauce, is a foolproof option. But if you can handle the heat, the super spicy Hot Bird fried chicken burger is also well worth a try.
What do we love about this joint? The curly lettuce adding extra crunch and texture. The fact the beef is 100% hormone-free. The enticing selection of so many different burgs to cater to all tastes. The generous size. And let's be real: pretty much everything else. Seriously, this is one of Melbourne's best.
X-Factor: IYKYK, beef burgers aren't 300 Grams' only claim to fame. The team make a delightfully nostalgic fish fillet burger (inspired by a certain fast-food chain), and they even have an Essendon store called Scaleable devoted entirely to seafood.
