Patty & Bun...Simple as!

I had walked past this place once on a Friday night and I was amazed at the queue outside! Looked like an hour or so wait, for a small, cozy little burger place. With a queue this long, and people willing to wait, must mean great food!

Patty & bun are a small, no nonsense burger joint! The tables are bunched up together so they can fit as many people in there as possible. We queued up, and were told we'd have to wait about 45 mins for a table. This was at 6pm on a Friday! Having read a few good reviews about it, decided to wait and try it out.

The service was top notch, and the menu was small and simple, burgers! Only 6 types of burgers and a few sides. But what more do you want from a burger joint! I firmly believe that a smaller menu means the chef isn't trying to do too much, and does those few things, very very well! In this case, I was definitely not wrong!

I went for the 'Smokey Robinson' burger, which was a beef patty, with cheese, tomato, lettuce, mounds of caramelised onions, bacon, ketchup, smokey P&B mayo and brioche. This is a fast food joint, so they don't waste time with plates and all. The burger comes wrapped like a take away, and its served on a metal tray.



Unwrapping the burger was interesting as the smell of melted cheese on a perfectly cooked beef patty hit your nose and makes your stomach rumble! Burgers are supposed to be messy, and this wasn't any different. The first bite is exciting, with a world of flavours hitting your palette. The patty nice and juicy, with the bacon and cheese providing the saltiness, and the mayo and ketchup bringing in the sweet! The bun very soft and perfectly cooked, there is nothing more you can ask a burger chef to do! Definitely one of the best burgers in town!



Incredible food and great service. I definitely recommend trying out this place, with the wait in the queue an extremely small price to pay for one hell of a burger!
