Footscray isn't just for your usual Pho or Banh Mi fix anymore. Shayne McAllum, Alan Samm and Long Tran are mixing things up with their new joint, 8 bit burger.
Inspired by vintage video games, the place is a boldly coloured classic diner with old but beloved video game characters scattered throughout.
The menu includes beef, chicken and mushroom burgers along with your usual accompaniment of hot dogs, shakes and beer bartered fries. I had the 8bit Burger; a classic burger with beef, cheese, red onion, crispy lettuce, pickles and their 8bit sauce sandwiched between soft brioche buns. If you're feeling rather adventurous though, give the Double Dragon burger a try.
The staff are friendly but take a very long time to assemble a burger. From watching the kitchen, I could tell the staff haven't got an efficient system happening just yet but hopefully they'll find their footing soon. Unfortunately this results in a 30-45 minute wait for the burgers but let's hope that means your burgers are made with precision and care. The burgers are really tasty with a good balance of flavours and texture, so it's definitely worth trying out. If you have spare time and a good friend to talk to, the wait will just fly by.
