The 7 Best Burgers On The Gold Coast, How do these rankings work?

1. Long Boards Laidback Eatery & Bar – Surfers Paradise

Home to the famous PHAT bastard burger challenge and positioned in the heart of Surfers Paradise under the iconic Q1 building. They place huge emphasis on the choice of craft beers they have to go along with the burgers. A world class operation.

2. Burgster – Palm Beach

When only the sweet release of biting into a juicy burger can save you, this is the place to come. Soft brioche buns sandwich grass-fed Angus beef, with heaps of toppings to choose from. The buttermilk chicken or deep fried bug tails burger are both must-trys.

In a rush? Just swing by the takeaway window for all your Burgster cravings.

3. Brooklyn Depot – Surfers Paradise 

They are inspired by Old Brooklyn in terms of their design and the food items. Brooklyn Depot does brilliant hot dogs and ribs but it would be foolish to look beyond their burgers. The toppings are first class – washed down with one of their thick milkshakes you’ll be in absolute heaven.

4. Easy Street Diner – Mermaid Beach 

Serving up some of the Gold Coast’s best burgers, Easy Street Diner is an American style restaurant located in Mermaid Beach. Get reay to indulge yourself with good old American classics like buffalo wings and cheesy fries or perhaps try one of the signature Po’Burgers with loads of unique flavour.

They also have some insanely good burgers on the specials board on a regular basis.

5. Ze Pickle – Burleigh Heads

The eccentric names like the Pablo Escoburger and the Ya Mum reveal the kind of craziness you can expect from their burgers. Try the Triple Loco for a heart attack and a great story.

Or you know what? Order it all. Please, don’t make us choose.

6. Eddie’s Grub House – Coolangatta

Eddie’s Grub House is famous for their signature burger, which features 120gram char grilled beef patty, bacon mushrooms, capsicum and onion, double cheese and fries. It’s the sort of food that is made to set you up for a big night out, or even as a hangover cure. Ticks absolutely every box.

7. The Loose Moose – Broadbeach

The Loose Moose has it all – good vibes, pink ‘n’ juicy beef patties and freshly bake milk buns.

Don’t miss out on the Big Blue: stacked with Byron Beef, onion, tomato, sautéed mushrooms, and a big dollop of gorgonzola and smoked jalapeno mayo. Oh, and wash it down with one of their 160 whiskies.
