Newtown Hotel

🐥Buttermilk chicken 🧀American cheese 🥗Slaw 🌶️💦Chipotle mayo Not a bad burger but with so much else in the area it's mostly the $10 burger happy hour price helping the score here. The chicken was crispy and fairly moist and the cheese was really well melted, more bonus points there. Slaw wasn't anything to write home about but it all came together reasonably well. The chipotle mayo gave more flavour than heat which I think is a good thing on a basic burger like this one.

🐮Wagyu beef pattie 🧀American cheese 🥒Pickles 🥬Lettuce 🍅Tomato ⚪Onion 💦Special sauce The beef was well done but I was surprised to find that they charred the fuck out of it - this gave it so much flavour. That alone knocked the score up for this burger. The salad bits were pretty standard and the special sauce wasn't exactly flooding out from under the bun but there was enough to lubricate everything. The pickles had the right flavour but were a bit floppy. Newtown Hotel does a $10 burger happy hour for lunch and dinner several days of the week, check their site for times (down from $15). Great value, though I'd take a couple of points off if it were full priced. Simple and not very filling, but a lot better than some pub burgers for which I've forked out $20+.
