to produce the perfect burger is one thing. to do it everyday, ritualistically, is quite another. without a doubt james and the team have nailed it - da burger is, quite simply, the best burger restaurant in australia.
when i first journeyed to da burger in new farm earlier this year, i was greeted with the essential ingredients of james’ recipe for success: fresh produce assembled with scientific consistency served in a vibrant space filled with colour and atmosphere which patrons are encouraged to engage with.
the menu is diverse yet simple. the meat is premium quality. the produce is fresh. the buns freshly baked. matched with a side of the best dam chips you will ever have and a drink from a range which features your usual suspects alongside some of australia’s premier crafts, this is a eating experience to die for. for me, the josephine hits the nail on the head every time.
more importantly, there is no risk here of your dining experience being ruined by bad service or a dead atmosphere. in fact, the only thing more refreshing that the quality of the burgers is the honesty and energy behind the service. in many ways, james’ passion converts dinner into a truly unique dining experience. the energy which james brings to da burger resonates through the team and the walls - everyone is friendly and the entire restaurant, with its uniquely technicolor walls littered with the artistic musings of patrons, is fun, inviting and very much alive.
look no further.

i can't understand any of the negative reviews. da burger is heaven on earth. living just across the road, my housemate and i are lucky enough to be able to frequent nirvana at least once a week. james and the team are the most friendly bunch of people you will ever meet, and the food is consistently 10/10. yeah it costs $5 more than some other burger joints. but you don't leave those joints with an ear to ear grin- feeling full, fresh and 100% satisfied.
