It was actually a pretty nice day outside, but it was too busy for us out the front, and more comfortable inside
Saturday lunchtime, the place wasn't packed, but they had a good turn of tables going on. Looked like a bit of a hipster coffee place, that also did food. Their menu starts off with things like 'Acai Bowl' and 'Coconut & Chia Pudding', which are really not my thing. However it also contains some burgers which looked nice so my partner and I both decided on burgers and a drink, though I was seriously considering the 'Reuben Sandwich' but it didn't come on Rye.
She got a 'Bacon &Cheese burger', and I had their 'Southern Fried Chicken burger'. Both come with their house chips and an Aioli dipping sauce. To go with them, I got a cider (Somersby) and it was a Strawberry & Maple shake for her.
for just under $20 (plus drink), it was actually a pretty decent sized serving
When it came out, I was quite surprised with the chips. Actual potato that had been chopped up and boiled then fried. They weren't the best I've ever had, but they were slightly crisp on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. They were a bit too large to dip into the tiny dipping sauce container though.
The burgers were good too, with a nice slaw (I was concerned about it since it claimed to be a 'kale coleslaw', but it was still good) that complemented the chicken well. There were around 3 separate pieces of chicken in my burger, but it still held together really well, and the chipotle mayo and milk bun didn't take anything away while providing a good wrapper and sauce for the chicken.
balance is everything, and they got it right. This burger is all about the chicken. Also look at that chip!
The chicken itself was great. crispy outside that had it's own flavour, and tender inside that wasn't dry and wasn't overcooked. Just how a good fried chicken burger should be. I left here quite satisfied.
