Burgers at The Hayberry

We have been in a burger coma for the last week, so apologies for posting this a week late.  After experiencing burger heaven at Mobbs Lane burgers for breakfast, we decided to stay in our happy place and go for a burger dinner. 

We were looking for somewhere local for dinner, somewhere on this side of The Bridge. One shouldn't have to trek too far for a good burger (although, our burger love has taken us to America. A few times.) So after a few google searches, we narrowed it down to The Hayberry.  

If you like beer and burgers with the blues, then this is the place for you.  We came at night, when there is plenty of atmosphere and loud blues.  This place is hip and it was pumping.

Being a cold winter night, we were looking forward to sinking a hearty amber ale with our burger. Sadly, there are no amber ales on tap at The Hayberry, only pale ales. Being amber-ale-kind-of-guys, we were cut to the heart by this news. (Have you noticed the lack of amber ales on tap in our beloved nation?? Surely this is something that could be easily rectified, and we're sure we're not alone in our love of amber ales... but sadly, we digress...) 

The quality of the burgers made up for the lack of amber ale. We ordered the Classic Burger and the Cheesy Bacon Burger. Doubles for each of our hungry tummies.

Our eyes lit up when the burgers were delivered to our table. The burgers were very pleasing to the eye. The first thing you notice is the softness of the bun.  Biting into this soft, brioche- like bun was a wonderful sensation. When our incisors hit the meat patty, it was also a good feeling. The meat patty was soft and moist, cooked to perfection. It had a smoky taste which we really enjoyed.

The whole combination of flavours worked together well- the right amount of sauce and American mustard combined with the cheese.  Actually, maybe there was a little too much mustard. With such a substantial meat patty, we would say that the burger was a little light on the pickle and onion side for us. But the burger had a classic American taste to it which we really loved. We give it 3/5.

The sides were amazing. This place serves waffle fries, which is a rare treat in Sydney town. Waffle fries provide more crunch and crisp for your bite, and we were not let down with these crispy delights.
