five points burgers

really packed at lunch time on a weekday, took about 20 minutes to get our meal once ordered. we all got the manhattan burger which was delicious, briochebunmakes the difference!! really tasty and filling! good fries too and chocolatey milkshakes. worth the wait!

great burgers.. quite simply, great burgers. american style, oozing with cheese, juicy and delicious with just the right amount of mustard. thebunis soft and sweet. the fries are nice enough. will come here again.

i go for the bronx burger – it’s big, it’s juicy, and it’s delicious with the right amount of mustard and sauce so its not just a drippy mess; thebunhas a good consistency and is not sugary like some brioche burger buns have been of late. the chips have decent crunch though are underseasoned, and unfortunately they have no slaw available that day to try. the salted caramel milkshake has a proper amount of flavour without being sickeningly sweet. despite the queue, my order does arrive reasonably quickly. i know the next time i’m at aldi in north sydney buying the occasional random stuff like a slab of marble or garden gnome with built in lighting i’ll be enticed into trying the other boroughs.

ahhhhhh. a real burger the right yellowest melty cheese perfect brioche likebunchips that taste like potatoes highly recommended it's a must !

finally a place that knows how to cook an american burger!

as a burger lover and one who grew up on burgers (from california), i gotta say that the “bronx” burger is the best classic bacon cheeseburger that i have had since living in sydney. anyone who knows me, i’m always on a lookout for great america food.

recently we had our 2nd child at the mater hospital and due to a horrible experience with ubereats and bbj north sydney, i needed a redemption burger. thanks to my cousin, i walked 30 mins to and from this this joint in the heat and would do it 100 times again.

to start off, the topbunwas nice and soft while the bottombunwas soft and dry. no one likes a soggy. i’ll tell you their secret later.

the burger itself was juicy, flavorful and cooked to perfection. for all of the other burger joints out there, a burger should be cooked to medium or medium-rare unless therese requested.

crispy af bacon. if you’re from the states, bacon is bacon and there’s no arguing it. here in australia bacon has two parts. 1) streaky bits and 2) the mid cut. for all of my fellow americans, always order the streaky bacon and it they tell you it’s not streaky then don’t add it unless you want a of canadian bacon on your burger.

cheese! two pieces of it too! most australians call american cheese that fake yellowish orange cheese. but to us americans it’s the cheese that makes any burger great!

here’s how five points burgers constructed the best burger! (keep in kind that i don’t work for them not have i ever worked for the nor did they pay me to post this) this is not in any order but this is how i would have recreated the burger. on the top bun, they slathered on the aioli, tomato sauce and onion jam. on the bottombunthey lay a slice of cheese directly on the bun, (this is the trick to keep thebunfrom sliding when you bite into it and keeping it from becoming soggy especially when i had to walk 15 mins back to the hospital) the pickles, burger with the melted cheese on top, crispy af bacon, iceberg lettuce and then the top of thebungoes on it!

of course a great burger deserves some awesome fries and a milkshake to was it down! the beer battered fries were great. i ordered mine well done since i know they’d possibly get soggy walking back but the were delicious and crispy!

there you have it. if you’re in the north sydney area, this is definitely the place to go for lunch or an early dinner as they open from 11:30-5:30pm m-w and 11:30-9pm t-f.

enjoy!

burger specialists doing a seriously good job! what i love about this place is they are doing a few things really well. with a small selection of burgers, they are able to take care with their produce. the burgers were seriously good. the briochebunwas light yet sturdy enough to hold together throughout the eating journey. medium rare beef, slathered with bacon and cheese, can your friday night get any better? well, it could if you order a chocolate or vanilla shake. delish! loss of points come from the chips which were nice, but didn't set my world on fire. i'd suggest you get there!

five point burgers were recommended to me by a friend when i counting down the days burgers by josh was in north sydney. however, being a bacon fan i was not sold after seeing a certain instagram post with one burger having pale looking undercooked bacon. this stopped me from coming for months until the opportunity arose again tonight.

the menu is small with only 4 burgers on offer. nice and easy. i chose the 'bronx" because it sounded as close to everything i wanted in a burger with double cheese, bacon, pickles, onions, tomato and lettuce. the flavour was great as the proportion of elements in the burger was done right giving the essential flavours you expect without any componant dominating another. the patty was thick enough to maintain a rich beef flavour which the double cheese added to the heartiness. the pickles did a good job adding the acidity, there was a sensible amount of tomato and lettuce and there was just enough balance in tomato sauce and mustard to complete it. the milkbunwas soft and toasted lightly and did a good job keeping the burger together. most importantly (to me), the bacon was crispy which was reassuring and enough to make an impact with every bite. 

the chips were thick and cooked perfectly. the chocolate milkshake was quite average with a mild flavour and not consistent in thickness with the top watery and bottom thicker and also bits of ice near the bottom. perhaps for $7, they should just offer a smooth thickshake which would have created that specialness people are looking for when they have committed to having something unhealthily indulgent anyway!

overall, i would put five points inbetween marys/burger project and burgers by josh. it's not an over glorified maccas burger but has hints of greateness without being overboard. for $10, its reasonably priced and i would be happy to come back again.

tried the bronx burger and it was pretty tasty, one of the better burgers in sydney. thebunis unique, fluffy and buttery and better than the other burgers which are to big and hard. meat tobunratio is a little off though, a bit too muchbunimo. definately recommend though

five points definitely knows how to do a good burger. i ordered the 'bronx' and the patty had good flavour and was cooked well, still juicy inside, the bacon was crunchy and the cheese melted evenly. the briochebunwas soft and tasty although on one previous visit i found it to be a little dry.

the chips were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, well seasoned with a mix of chicken and sea salt.
friendly staff and service was pretty quick although it does get busy during lunch hour.

it's probably the best burger you can find in north sydney and does a good job at fulfilling the burger cravings.

five points burger came out to much fanfare last year in north sydney because north sydney really lacked burger options. some claim it to be the best in sydney and it's not hard to see why, so be prepared to wait during peak lunch hours. i've been once before and had a good experience with a double bronx, so i thought i'd revisit with a double manhattan.

double beef, double cheese, tomato sauce, pickles, american mustard, aioli, iceberg lettuce

this burger is mighty pretty and the milkbunby brasserie bread serves it well as it holds it all together and doesn't detract from the burger. the meat is high quality, medium rare, and plenty juicy though just slightly underseasoned. the toppings besides the cheese are pretty much an afterthought which is a bit of a letdown. the smoky cheese while good, overpowers most of the burger including the beef so you don't really register any of the sauces and lettuce. if this burger were an actress it would be amy adams, always good enough to be nominated for the best, but not outstanding enough to be the best.

go to five points for the best burger in north sydney, now open thursday and friday nights.

beef: 4.2

bun: 4

toppings: 3.9

overall: 4.03/5

another famous burger joint that meets the hype expectations that reviews create. tried the bronx burger - thebunwas soft, the beef patty was juicy, the cheese had a perfect texture to it. the lettuce was crispy and the pickle provided the perfect complement. the chips were also very enjoyable.

the burgers are not a 4 or 4.5 or 5!!! no way!

patrons of burgers need to see the quality of other burger places in sydney.

the burger, although tasty and well arranged, was not spectacular. the lettuce was not generous and the breadbunwas also mcdonalds style....

the thick cut chips on the other hand was the only thing that saved this place from getting lower than a 3.0, however, the standard flavoured salt was not good quality or remarkable in its ingredients- this left a bad taste for sometime.

the burger joint is also not on walker street side. it's on the corner of berry and walker streets facing berry street.

the service was efficient, very enthusiastic and tacky. "have you been here before? no, "let me recommend..."??? seriously? we are adults and can read and make a decision, real american trash sales that matches the americana theme.

if i am interested in an "american style burger" i will visit america.

finally found myself in north sydney on a weekday to get to five points. so happy about that! burger was absolutely all that was expected and delivered on flavour, aroma and looks. greatbuntoo that isn't to sweet to take away from the tasty contents. coupled with a vanilla milkshake everything was devoured in prompt time. delicious.

i had a the manhattan because i'd heard good things and i wasn't disappointed.. thebunwas soft without being too sweet, the meat was tender and plentiful- but the best part was the generous addition of delicious melting cheese! will try the shake next time if i have any room left over (the burger won't leave you hungry).

we were met by a lovely irish man who is very excited about the business. there was a line but it moved rather quickly. we didn't have to wait long, maybe 3 minutes? i ordered the manhattan and my brother ordered queens. we were both.l very happy and they were so filling, the patty in my burger was cooked to perfection and they melted the cheese all over the top which i loved, the sauce was really nice but maybe a bit too much of it as it went all over my hands. their choice ofbunwas spot on, thebuncan make or break a burger and they've nailed it. best burger i've ever had price wise a bit hefty but so worth it. chips were a great side too, thick cut and cooked to crunchy perfection. definately recommended!
