Brother Burger & The Marvellous Brew - Fitzroy

Thanks to a friend for babysitting DH, me and hubby had a chance to go on a date which is rare as we have  no family to rely on in Australia. So we decided to have dinner out and a movie after, we decided on this burger joint as it was recommended by a colleague who had been there previously. 

First impressions was not a let down the place was huge and there was ample sitting space, we chose a quiet spot for two close to the bar.  We were promptly handed our menus and the waitress came back within 5 mins to get our drinks order. I had the banana and dark rum which is the adult version of a milkshake but I was in for a let down. It tasted of just milk and no other flavor of either the banana or the rum and it was really diluted but I was not going to let this ruin the rest of my dining experience there, so I decided to let this slip and looked forward to the rest of what was ordered to come.


The Menu

We started with the entree of corn hush puppies which was basically mash potatoes with corn and crumbed and then fried served with their chilli jam. The entree did not disappoint and it whet our appetite for what was to come.
Onion Rings with Mayo & Chilli Jam

The burgers did not come serve with sides, so we added on the onion rings and it was a good choice as the onion rings were huge rings of onion and fried to golden crispyness.

Steak and Garlic Herb Burger

Hubby ordered the special on the board which was the steak and garlic herb sauce burger with bacon and mustard. The steak was done medium rare and all the flavours just went well together. The buns were serve warm and soft.


Fish Fillet Burger

I ordered the fish fillet burger with lettuce and tartare sauce. The fish was fresh and moist, the batter that coated the fish was light and crispy. Although I would have like the fish to cover the whole bun instead of part of it.

Overall it was a pleasant meal and service was really quick from point or ordering to serving of meals. If you want something quick this is a great place to consider. This is a joint I'll definitely make a return to again soon.
