I'm picky about veggie burgers but the quinoa burger from 8bit is great. It has plenty of veg, is the perfect mix of wholesome and decadent, AND it has haloumi! Chips are also pretty okay on their own and better stuffed in the burger.
Delicious burgers and really nice milkshakes. They have really nice vegetarian options but maybe just need to add more ice cream to the shakes as they seem a little watery. Other then that. Excellent!
Generous amount of filling within the burger. Meat cooked to perfection. See staff cook in action. Small and casual eatery. Fries seasoned well.
After 3 trips here over a year I’ve finally settled on giving this place 4 stars. Very up and down with quality but when it’s good it is GOOD! Referring to the burger btw, loaded fries have fake cheese which I hate!
Best chicken burger in Melbourne! Tender breast, very juice, very flavoursome) Best milkshake too, bit too expensive tho (not a bad thing as sometimes food, hehe). And the chips are very tasty too.
The original 8bit store. We used to come here regularly, back when it was pretty new and there was always a ton of people. I really love their Golden Axe burger! The chicken is so crispy and tender and works so well with the mayo. Their fries are also really good - thick and crispy, even by the time we brought it home.
I also tried their Zelda burger recently which I wasn’t really a fan of. The chickpea patty tasted very ‘spiced’ and the rest of the fillings were quite scarce.
Their loaded fries was lovely ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️. The footscray store was awesome too. It caught you in the middle of great neighbors and the store’s ambience is one of a kind.
Came today for the first time and have to say i am really impressed. love the retro/americana feel and also as an old skool gamer...i got a hell of a kick out of the menu item names.
Golden Axe & Wonderboy anyone?
As for the food. i absolutely loved it!
Best burgers i have had. The meat was juicy and flavourful and the onion rings are to die for!
And personally my fave part is proper SOFT sesame burger buns! So sick of other places using current insert fashionable bread that you could crack a tooth on!
These guys keep it simple, classical and focus on flavour. Loved it and i left in a food coma and had to take a nap when i got home.
So good!
Definitely will return and recommend!
Can not beat an 8bit burger! I drool at the thought of my ‘Altered Beast’ with beer battered fries! Been here countless times and I have never been disappointed. The service is good as well as the restaurant being unique. Couldn’t recommend it enough.
Good burgers, cool little burger joint in Footscray, very simillar to Huxtaburger, New York Minute ect, they are all pretty much the same to me.
Came here on a Monday afternoon for a late lunch on a public holiday, it was relatively quiet so we were well looked after. The food was tasty, burgers and chips were good, the onion rings lacked a little seasoning but otherwise had good crunch. One tiny issue would be cleanliness, the place was a little sticky and the bathroom a bit untidy. Overall a good experience!
Customer Service 5/5
I asked the lady behind a counter if they had any secret off the menu burgers. She kindly said not at this stage but recommended the GAUNTLET with avocado. We also ordered the 8BIT WITH CHEESE which for a cheese burger, it was pretty good.
Cleanliness 5/5
8bit is a pretty cool little Burger Joint, I like the theme but I feel there's more that could be done as far as the place being video game themed, the Burgers are pretty nice, the taste reminds me of a Burger you would get from a Fish & Chip Shop, the staff are friendly and there is a free Retro Arcade Game you can play, although it wasn't working when I was there so that was disappointing, I Recommend 8bit Burgers if you are close by.
Tried their veggie burger and 8 Bit burger. While their 8 bit burger was quite delicious and the beef patty was very scrumptious, their Veggie Burger Patty made from Quinoa and Chickpeas was on the dry side.
In my view the beef burger was amazing, but I wouldn't call it one of the best in Melbourne.
Their peanut butter shake was quite nice too!
Service was pretty quick.Overall, a decent experience.
