locked in the eagerly anticipated double patty smash burger - perfect balance of juicy meat and sauce in a tight bun... had a bite of the fried chicken burger which was really tender and great. sides we had the fries which were good with yummy dipping sauce (too small serving between 2 imo) and the bbq duck wings which were amazing! topped it off with a fresh home made lemonade... keen to go back for the ribs burger - highly recommended burger joint, def top 5 in melbourne, individual burger the double patty smash would be one of my fave burgers from melbourne ive tried so far
Best burger in Melbourne. Everything is on point with a juicy patty. But they don't only serve burgers. Their rib sandwich is also a strong recommendation. Great with coleslaw and the IPA on tap.
Really great but very rich food. The burgers are really good...actually everything is really good. It’s a great idea to order a few things and share.
Really awesome burgers! The patty is one of best we had and the kombu mayo is sooo good. Plenty of kombu flavor. One star less due to lack of service and quite pricy for the size of the burger.
Came here early on a Friday night, I had the fried chicken burger, with tater tots. The burger was really tasty, the chicken was yummy, juicy and crunchy! Would definitely come again
The Double Patty Smash Burger here is seriously incredible. Not too heavy or big compared to a lot of other burgers, and is made with soft buns and delicious special sauce. The coleslaw here also follows the same idea; it’s light but very tasty. Apart from the great food, this place has a nice atmosphere for weekend drinks with friends, and the service is pretty good as well.
If you want quality American styled food. This is the place to go! Fried chicken sandwich is fantastic! Has a great atmosphere! Haven't tried the dessert here yet though. Hopefully soon enough.
Love their double patty smash burger! Tend to mosy on down at lunch time for a car ride while the baby is sleeping and then chow down on a burger and curly fries in the car! Couldn't be more delicious!
We came for lunch on a Friday and ordered the single and double patty smash burgers. The burgers came with a side of curly fries and the food was amazing! The burger patty was cooked to perfection and the curly fries were crispy. We also ordered a serve of tater tots and they were to die for! I will recommend this place to anyone!
4.5. This laidback venue has an American vibe and influence, attentive staff, and some of the tastiest burgers I've had in Melbourne (much to my surprise). The buffalo wings were tasty and the croquettes were good too. We shared the double patty smash burger with bacon and this was stunning. The bacon was crispy, the bun was good, and that beef patty with sauce was delish! We also ordered the pulled pork burger which was great, and had a nice spicy kick. French fries and cauliflower as sides were pretty good as well. Will definitely be back to try more on their menu which looks like it changes frequently. Awesome find on Smith St.
Came back again and the double patty smash burger was just as good as I remember, probably one of my favourite burgers in Melbourne. Love everything about it. We also shared the mojo pork and fried chicken sandwiches which were both great. Deviled egg and pickled vegetables were really good, and the tater tots were crispy and delicious! Service was quick and attentive. Highly recommended.
My first ever smashed patty burger! The Rockwell and Sons Double Smashed Patty Burger with added bacon!
If you really want a juicy burger that'll melt in your mouth, go give them a shot! From the buns to the beef to the cheese, everything about it is so soft. You don't even need teeth to bite through that burger! The bacon is the crispiest thing I've ever eaten and if you don't believe me, go try it for yourself! The only downside was how oily and greasy the burger was, and I felt there were a little too much unnecessary grease in the burger.
Really amazing burger with slight improvements, but it's still worth it! Don't forget to get their crispy bacon!
This is my favourite burger place in Melbourne!
I’ve tried burgers from many different joints in and around Melbourne and Rockwell and Sons is the place that keeps me wanting to come back for their burger.
I’ve taken a fair few friends with me on multiple occasions and everyone agrees to it being their favourite as well!
Couple that with the great selection of house made soda’s, a great decor and the incredibly nice and attentive staff and you have a stellar combo for a perfect outing with your mates
One of my fave "meat" restaurants in Melbourne. Penalty of great entree size plates to you can enjoy lots of different flavours. I love the rib burger however tonight the pick of the evening was def the twice cooked crispy pork.
Def worth the trip!!!
One of my favourite places in Melbourne for a burger! The double Patty SMASH is like the best big mac you'll ever eat! Well priced food and a cool digs complete the package
That sweet spot between fine dining and pub grub is where Rockwell & Sons thrives. Owned by Manu Potoi (ex Attica and Stokehouse) and Casey Wall (ex Cutler & Co. and The Spotted Pig, NYC), the pair can do no wrong rollin' out appetite pleasers with gusto. The burgers and sambos are legit. A highlight for any Melbourne food adventure.
Yep a pretty damn good burger. Melts in your mouth and it’s clear that a chef has put a lot of thought into all of the necessary ingredients that would make this burger better. Really soft texture and all the elements of the burger are basically done right.
I think this burger is better without the bacon in it though, it’s not bad with it, it’s just unnecessary to add it.
The sweet potato wedges are awesome too, and have some herbs and possibly lemon sprinkled on them.
Best burgers on the planet. The double smash is a must but I like it as a single smash. The rib sandwich is pretty awesome as well. Wednesday nights are fried chicken night. The fried chicken is spectacular 👌🏻 Hush puppies are pretty amazing too 😛
I hadn't been to Rockwell and sons in a few years, but I missed how amazing their burger was, so decided to revisit them on my cheat day.
The place was still as busy as ever, but surprisingly the wait wasn't that long for our food. Staff there were very nice. Attentive and friendly.
Lamb ribs were very tasty. Little on the dry side, but still pretty tender. Chicken burger had a kind of zest to it. Not like any chicken burgers I've had recently. Quite liked that actually.
As for the main event, the double beef covered in cheese and their special sauce. Not sure what was in the sauce. But I don't remember the burger having it the last time I was there. Sort of tasted like thousand island. Not sure I liked the sauce. But the damn was soft and sweet and the meat was cooked perfectly. So overall I enjoyed it!
Great place for a bite to eat. They have fried chicken Wednesdays which are booked in advance, and well worth it!
Sorry to say that I only visited on the closing weekend at the behest of a friend. He hyped the double patty smash up significantly and it did not disappoint. Burger was delicious, though I still didn't come around on the Kraft cheese. Service and price were great. Drinks were also delicious. Hopefully I get to try whatever the team move onto next. Best of luck.
