Reuben Hills

Wow, sneaky burg found in a cafe in Surry. Went with the triple. Was very good. I’d like to try the ratio’s on a single though.

Chasing down a hot tip from issac_eatsalot, Kieran, Joeyburgered and I all took a trip out to Rueben Hills to see what all the fuss was about. Upon entry it’s heavy cafe vibes but the photos of Issac’s kept me optimistic about what was coming out in between baked eggs and açai bowls. I got the double which I think was probably perfect for the ratios. Overall a bloody good smashed cheeseburger, it doesn’t quite reach as far as the like of WingMill or Bush but they’re on the right path! The beef was cooked well though I think should’ve been a bit more smashed considering the name. The cheese was gooey and delicious, the burger sauce was great but with the added Tom sauce and mustard things became a little intense. Martin Potato Roll I’m pretty sure as the bun is always a winner. Definitely worth a visit but a reminder, you’ll walk out with your wallet a little lighter.

I had this burger a week ago as a triple for $27 and was on the fence. it was an amazing burger but $27. twenty seven dollars. So I went back again. if it was 2 from 2 I'd call it worth every penny. I added bacon today, so it was an extra 6.50 making it a 33.50 triple bacon cheeseburger. Today I was disappointed. no longer was i sitting on the fence. I'd fully swung a leg over and made my mind up. it's a good burger. but it's overpriced and inconsistent. that could be chef's. it could be operating procedures. maybe #1 I got lucky or #2 I was unlucky. picked off black burnt bits of cheese. hard to recommend at the price point but if you're looking for a change from the Bush cheesey go check it out.
