Bellbird

Fantastic flavours overall, I'd definitely do it again. Beautiful soft bun that stayed together the whole burger, lovely slaw which worked well with the sriracha mayo. The only downer was that the chicken was on the dry side. Otherwise an excellent burger that I really enjoyed.

Good chicken burger, needed more sauce. The photo makes it look like there was a ton of sauce but I think it was all in that one spot! The coleslaw was too dry to counter the lack of sauce. Chicken was nice but not great, needed some more seasoning or spice.

Had to get a second burg so the Mrs could get a chicken pattie. I prefer thigh chicken patties over breast, but if you have to have breast chicken this is the chicken pattie for you. On par with Burger Patch IMO.

🐔 🥰 Bellbird 🥰 🐔 🍗 Fried Chicken Breast 🍗 🧀 Cheddar 🧀 🥓 Bacon 🥓 🥕 Tangy House Slaw 🥕 🌶 Sriracha Mayo 🌶 🧀 Provolone Cheese 🧀 Found ourselves in Cessnock for a couple of days, and decided to open the app to see what was listed in the area. Boy was I glad I did. It looks like Burgerfiend might be the best burger joint in Hunter Valley, and they certainly live up to their reputation. I ordered the Bellbird. It looked amazing, by itself, but I had to throw some provolone cheese on there for good measure; that stuff is amazing. What I loved the most was that you could taste (almost) each and every component on the burger. The chicken was juicy. The carrot in the slaw was especially tasty and crunchy. The bacon was crispy, and lastly, both the cheddar and the provolone added their own individual touches to the burger. If I had one negative thing to say, I couldn't really tell the sriracha from the mayo. I like my chilli chicken burgers, and maybe I was mistaken, but this was definitely not one of them. To top it all off, the service here is amazing. I've never been to a more friendly burger joint. Looking forward to the next time, for sure; though I'm definately going to be trying their other burgers. They all look so damn good.

Top notch chicken burger, the batter was flavourful yet not too salty or thick. The meat itself was thick, juicy and tender. Added in pickles and tomato, the hacks here are very good value, bacon's only $2 extra. Just like their beef, top tier when compared to Sydney, a must if you're in the Hunter Valley.

Brought my wife out to Cessnock to experience Burgerfiends amazing burgers. She had the shroom and I had the Bellbird we left well fed and my wife was impressed.

Probably one of the best burgers around, definitely coming here more often 🤤
