five points burgers

at last, a trulygreatburger 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 all good 😊". 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 agreatattitude and service ethic. i'm hooked. the burger and fries were outstanding, by the way.

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

greatburger place in north sydney, came here during a weekday lunch and the line was huge! we ordered the bronx which was juicy and huge and also got some thick cut chips which were delicious.

this place is close to my house. we to this place few times now.
the burgers are amazing. i love their mushroom burgers.

the service is notgreatand staff was rude last time when we went.
the lady at the counter charged is more, luckily while we were waiting for burger to come, i checked the bill and found something wrong. the lady had charged us wrong amount. after checking with her, she agreed we were over charged and returned the extra money.
this happened to use twice with the same lady.

overall,
food: 5
ambience: 4
value for money: 4
service: 1

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 forgreatamerica 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 top bun was nice and soft while the bottom bun was 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 bottom bun they lay a slice of cheese directly on the bun, (this is the trick to keep the bun from 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 the bun goes on it!

of course agreatburger 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!

juicy burgers,greatprice, what's not to love. situated in north sydney, it's a hot spot for the juiciest burgers. went during a lunch break for the occasional burger run on friday and this place was packed, with a queue forming. regardless of how busy this place was, they were efficient and pumped out all the burgers with speed and gusto. burger was mouth watering delicious and did not disappoint. would be revisiting whenever i'm in the area.

always get the manhattan and the quality has beengreatand constant. juicy patty, perfect ratio of bun/meat/sauce and chips are pretty good too.greatfor friday work lunches too. definite recommend

a nice place to get authentic american burger. i've been hearinggreatthings about this place from different people so finally i made a trip there.

i ordered the bronx on my visit there. the staff were really friendly and nice and they made sure to get your name on the order right. when the burger arrived i was a little bit disappointed by the size of it. it was pretty small, even compared to maccas or hungry jack's standard burgers. not to mention pretty expensive for eatery like this since i spent $13 for small burger without chips. however, it made up for the underwhelming size by compensating on the really fresh and fluffy buns, nicely pickled cucumber, and of course the perfectly cooked, juicy medium rare beef.

so to conclude five points really offer quality burger although on a little bit expensive side considering the size and the lack of chips.

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 wasgreatas 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 milk bun was 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.

had a fantastic lunch here.greatservice and fantastic burgers as promised!!! !

i've wanted to try this place for a long time now. however as it is closed on weekends, i haven't had the chance to get there. well today was the day that i finally got to go. i had a meeting in north sydney so there was only one choice what to have for lunch. the place opens at half eleven and i've heard that it gets busy so i made sure i got there when it opened. there where already a few people there already. anyway i ordered the bronx with some chips. i took a seat and waited for my name to be called out. i grabbed my burger and chips and returned to my seat. i grabbed a few chips first and then took a bite out of the burger. it was nice but then i've had lots of nice burgers before. however after a few more bites then i fully appreciated the flavour. it was delicious and full of so much flavour and the ingredients tasted really fresh. i loved the melted cheese too. the chips are pretty decent too, which is a nice bonus. some burger places make a mean burger but then no effort goes into the chips. that's not the case here and they have free bottles of condiments that you can have with your chips, as well as bottles of water to help yourself with. the only slight criticism that i'd give, is that i would have liked my burger a bit pinker. however that does not take away what agreatand tasty burger it was. i'll definitely be back, that's for sure.

five points is a trendy looking hamburger place playinggreatmusic for a lunch time meal. with a choice of 4 different burgers, you'll be sure to find something

very cool burger joint, gets super packed but if you want agreatburger then the line is worth the wait. the burgers are fantastic, they come out quite fast too despite how packed this place gets. staff are very friendly.

best burgers in sydney! meat is so nice and juicy and all the ingredients in the burger just go so well together.greatvalue for the price! must try this place if you love burgers, it won't disappoint.

so much hype. with the fandom behind this joint, i thought it was about time to eat there, living around the corner and all. 
i went with the manhattan - the burger was what i expected, but missed the mark, a classic sweet (unfortunately) american bun, with a leaf of lettuce, too many condiments to count, excellently cooked meat, and dripping with oil and orange cheese. the vanilla bean milkshake was agreatway to help cut through the greasy muddle of sweet and tangy - usa usa!. now i know that's what people want, (as we saw with the massive infatuation with ben & jerry's) but this flavour of americana was just unsatisfying as i pushed through to speed up the internal damage being done. 

bland, sweet, greasy, sloppy (hit the american nail on the head.)

i left with oil and condiments (mustard, tomato, and white?) over my hands, and disappointment over my face. i was truly hoping for it to begreat– they do 4 burgers, you'd think they'd master them. 
probably wont be going back, but hey, give it a go, do your own research. just dont expect too much.
service was excellent though, and the milk shake.
