THE GROUNDS OF ALEXANDRIA

CHEESEBURGER ($15 with chips)
Beef / cheese / onion / tomato / lettuce /pickle on a brioche bun 


The Grounds at Alexandria is a big sprawling place where you can head indoors and either sit down for a restaurant style meal or grab a takeaway order from the cafe bar, or simply walk around the outdoors area, soaking up the atmosphere and choosing something from the many options available. There is a bit of everything here, the various stalls offer up (among other items) bakery sweets and treats, BBQ-style hot dogs, ice cream sandwiches, freshly on-the-spot cooked doughnuts, spiced nuts or grilled "breaky" favourites.

And so it is that today i've gone for the outdoor grill and selected their cheeseburger.

As previously mentioned, we can only score the burger here, but make no mistake, the chips that come with this burger are as good as chips get. Nice thick cut fries, well cooked with a nice seasoning yet not overly salted. And their banana smoothie is one of the best smoothies i've ever had! 

And the burger?

Well, it's kind of like the sort you'd get from an old school hamburger shop, and I liked it. The bun was fresh and soft, the patty was cooked to perfection and the fresh tomato, lettuce and pickle made it a very good lunch option. They certainly did not skimp on the salads either, each mouthful was full of fresh goodness that complemented the taste of the meat and cheese. I wouldn't say the cheese was a let down, but it didn't come across tasting like the best quality cheese. However it was melted really well so that it gelled with the beef quite easily, leaving any concerns on the quality of cheese easily forgotten about.
The only complaint i'd have about the burger is that it was missing sauce. By simply adding some tomato sauce this could have been a top burger, so if you do get this burger, remember to squirt some sauce on your burger when you collect it - they have all varieties of sauce bottles on the counter.

So overall a very good burger.

  7. I tried this one too. I found it to be very good. I found the ordering process at The Grounds to be ridiculous and confusing! Three different order places for drinks, food, coffee and a couple more separate ones to pick up.
