Mookie

What a surprise this was - chick chick 💥. American style burger joint with a Japanese twist. Super fresh buttermilk crispy fried chicken, kewpie slaw, chilli Mayo on an uber soft bun. Hacked it with bacon and cheese, making it a neat little package. $19 with chips was reasonable for Canberra prices. Next time some smashed beef will be added, now I’m drooling…

I was a little unsure of the place based on Google reviews. But we all know how unreliable some of these reviews can be. Anyways, my burger craving was too strong for me to get thrown off by Google reviews. Turns out, this is one of the ‘right up there’ burgers for me. Soft buns and a smashed patty with crispy bits to it. Amazing. The patty could be slightly better seasoned. However, the chilli jam makes up for it big time. Definitely going back. Also, the fried chicken was ridiculously crispy and juicy!

Plenty of burger joints in Canberra, but a few were closed on Monday. Mookie Burger to the rescue! They delivered the goods with a solid beef burger, I added the pickles and bacon to make it deluxe, which is a must because they were the heroes to make this burger pretty rad.

First time here. Let me start by saying that I ate all of my burger. It wasn't terrible. But it needs a lot of work. 1. It's called ”crispy”. The chicken was sad, small and hardly felt like it had any crisp to it. Leave that sucker in the after for longer. I'm not eating a burger to be healthy. I'm here for flavour and texture. 2. Slaw is dull and unimaginative. Go back to a quality lettuce and tomato option 3. Why are burgers now being made without cheese??? This is a necessity. Making me pay an extra dollar is pretty tight from the establishment. 4. Chilli slaw was quality. Not to spicy that it was overpowering but enough to enjoy feeling the heat. It was ok. But I would try other joints before being back here again

Well fuck that was tasty. 🥩 🧀 🥬 🍅 + mookie sauce (epic) + I added jalapeños which is the best decision I’ve made this week. The pattie was crispy on the outside, pink in he middle. Perfect. A well put together burger 🍔 My only issue is the sweetness of the bun. I smelt sugar each bite. If you’re seeing this Mr Mookie, tone it down. A milk bun would send this into orbit. All in all a terrific option in Canberra. I’m here for another week, with another couple of places on the radar.
