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, brioche bun makes the difference!! really tasty and filling!goodfries too and chocolatey milkshakes. worth the wait!

at last, a truly great burger joint in north sydney. so happy i finally got around to trying five points tonight. still savouring the taste 30 minutes after finishing the last bite. 

jumped online at five minutes to closing, couldn't find a phone number, facebook messaged them "too late to order?" snap! instant reply "if you're here in the next 4 minutes allgood😊". replied "i'm 3 minutes drive away. how about a cheeseburger and fries when i get there?" instant reply again... "no online ordering as too busy and we're never online during shifts . i'll make an exception this time. cheeseburger and fries to go it is".

stepped inside right on 9pm to be greeted by johnny the irish dude with a great attitude and service ethic. i'm hooked. the burger and fries were outstanding, by the way.

exceptional service, we were made to feel very welcome. burgers and fries were outstanding, i had the bronx burger and my girlfriend had the chicken burger, both of us were amazed at howgoodthey were. the only thing the place lacks is seating options inside.

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; the bun has agoodconsistency 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.

if you have a severe hangover or super hungry, walk right in. if you’re after the greatest burger in sydney, think twice.

burger. one of the best food inventions on this planet. it’sgoodfor breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or when you’re hangover from having way too many.

burger, i certainly had way too many.

i had the manhattan lunch special, and my burger and thick-cut chips were cooked well.
burger was tasty and chips were crunchy.
however, it missed a bit of ‘magic’ that made me want to eat again.

for this reason i give this place 3 bears

i was suckered in by the menu promising medium-rare beef patties. i’d actually been told that the health authorities had clamped down on that but mostgoodplaces in sydney cook theirs to a juicy medium level, so i was very disappointed when the one at five points came out closer to well-done. it wasgoodquality beef though and the rest of the burger came together well (a bit bland in the sauces department, could have done with more aioli and less mustard), so if you like the living daylights cooked out of your beef, you might like five points. they’re expensive burgers though, so i wasn’t impressed. the staff are also hard to understand (the noisy road doesn’t help) and seem to write down orders on paper in a foreign script, so make sure to get it read back to you before you pay.

big old tasty ass juicy ass burger. hits the spot if you are craving. which i assume you are...
ticks most of the classic burger boxes. the chips were alsogoodwhich can often be a let down

when five points burgers opened in 2015 you would see queues of 15-20 plus patrons lining up during lunch hour. what makes this burger joint so popular apart fromgoodburgers are their delicious milkshakes. the salted caramel is a favourite of mine. along with the queens burger.

always get the manhattan and the quality has been great and constant. juicy patty, perfect ratio of bun/meat/sauce and chips are prettygoodtoo. great for friday work lunches too. definite recommend

burger specialists doing a seriouslygoodjob! 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 brioche bun was 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!

best burger we have had in sydney. takes us 40mins to get to the place but worth the travel. the workers there are really nice and welcoming. the burgers there are delicious, awesome meat patties andgoodtextures with the toasted buns and veg. recommend getting early for lunch because there's limited seating and lots of people go to the restaurant.

five points in north sydney is a really nice go to spot for agoodburger. honestly, super nice and super down to earth staff also. the cashier messed up our bill but apologised really sincerely then constantly made sure we were satisfied with the meal. 

the burger itself was really amazing, probably one of the best i've had and i've had tonnes ofgoodburgers before.  the patty was soft and juicy (great quality meat) and the bacon, if you order it with bacon, is done super crispy.  i ordered the salted caramel milkshake, recommended to me buy the cashier and it was amazing also. one of the best shakes i've had, agoodsize and super quenching after the savoury burger, really commendable.

the only reason five points isn't getting a 5.0 from me, comes down to personal preference. the thick cut chips were too thick and starchy in my opinion and lacked the crunch that i love. the box of chips however, was sizeable. if you like  those thick cut chips, it mightn't matter at all.

all in all, if you're an avid burger fan in sydney, five points is a must.

walked straight past it on the street twice - this place is exactly that - a hidden gem. they don't beat their chest or brag, just sharegoodburgs and promote burger love. i got a double bronx - beef bacon and cheese will suit me just fine 👌

following a long day at uni with some friends, had a 'queens' burger for $11 and topped it with the beer battered chips for $4 (the chips have a subtle peanut flavour interestingly). the price was definitely worth the quality of food i was getting (all friends agreed), and was not disappointed. the line was long, but it was worth the wait. would advise getting to five points early if you want a seat. definitely would recommend, and i heard the milkshakes are alsogoodtoo (planning to try that next time)!

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 agoodjob 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 milk bun was soft and toasted lightly and did agoodjob 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.
