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.
Some of the best burgers in town. Very tasty and filling, shakes are also nice. Tried the loaded fries too and wasnt dissapointed. If visiting melbourne highly reccomend this burger joint.
Top class service top class burgers, good music selection. Got a good vibe and a positive experience. Staff are friendly and the food is good, what more.
First things first, the vibe of the place: kickback, chilled, happy hour, bright. LOVE.
8bit did not disappoint. Loved the transparent layout of their kitchen so you can see the burger chefs do their thing behind the grills before it gets served to you.
The burgers themselves, very high standard. As a burger enthusiast, I will admit, I favour 8bit over a few other popular places. Good flavour, beef patty was grilled well and seasoning was generous. Didn't mind paying extra for jalapeños, although they didn't deliver the spice hit I was looking for.
Good prices, flexibility in extras, great array of sides and drinks, how could you go wrong?
Staff were laid back, easy to talk to and delivered well in both their in house orders as well as external orders. Definitely coming back!
Juicy, flavoursome and filling! Great service and comfortable atmosphere.
Might rate a 5 if the patties are cooked well done, but that’s just me.
:)
Fast friendly service and delicious burgers. Ordered the after burner which had just enough jalapeños, it was a sloppy mess by the end which is how a good burger should be. Beer batter chips are yummy and the onion rings were good too.

Came here to try out the new Liven collaboration with 8bit . The insert coin burger had a bright red bun, juicy beef patty, crispy bacon all the regular tomato lettuce onion etc but what was unique about it was the smash avo and fetta !! This was a concept I have never heard of or even thought about before ! The combination was so good , especially paired with the potato gems which of course I had to get .
Thanks for having us !
One of the best burgers I’ve tried in the west, burger is neat and well presented. Perfectly cooked patty and all the flavours go well together. Would try again.
A very hip and trendy place. Recommend the burgers but not the hot dogs. Chips were really good! Don’t expect customer service. will be back to try out the milk shake and other burgers.
Happen to drop by 8bit a cute retro gaming inspired burger joint! I love the quirky burger names and flavours. The burger is on point and I really enjoyed our beer batter chips! Would definitely love to try their milkshakes next time! The only thing was the wonder dog wasn’t the best and I would opted for another burger over this in future.
😱Lizzie’s first impression: my all time favourite burger store and has never disappointed.
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: my favourite is the mushroom burger and it’s crumbled and is a big fat portobello! The meat patty burgers are also very juicy and the cheese is melted perfectly. The salted caramel milkshake is amazing!
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: it’s a little oily so make sure you have a clean meal before or after this one. The strawberry cheesecake milkshake is also a little too much for my liking as it’s overpowering.
🥇Lizzie rates overall: A great place for burgers and staff are awesome here!
Consistently great burgers and the Nuttella milkshake was a winner too!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Ordered a double dragon and beer batter fries ... best burgers in the West!!
By far one of the best burgers I’ve had to date! I had The After Burn which oozed of so many different flavours from the sauce and toppings. You can really taste every element of ingredient which compliments the burger as a whole. There was a good flow of sauce dripping but the bun is a good density which holds everything together. Was so good to see a bit of pink in the patty too which is how I prefer it. 👍🏻
Really nice burger with well-fried chips. Always enjoy the burgers here with joyful ambiance and atmosphere. Staff are on point, and the service is quite fast.
Celebrated National Burgers Day with a great burger from 8bit. Always good to go with the original store so we made our way to Footscray. Highlights: juicy burger with great taste. Lowlights: perhaps a little too juicy!
8bit at Footscray Melbourne. A popular burger restaurant in Melbourne. Definitely well known in young generation with a nice ambience and friendly staff. Highly recommended for the veggie and beef burgers.
These burgers are really good had them when they first opened and been going back again to get there burgers. Double dragon is my must eat burger.

Still kicking goals In 2018
Hotdog is now my go to you can get burgers anywhere these days but they still are the best for me. You must go in and order and eat right away don’t expect greatness from lazyeats chips and burgers don’t travel well
Did gradually grow a part from 8 bit but a recent visit made me realise that I shouldn't order the double dragon (can get a bit too greasy) and that their burgers aren't too bad. The loaded fries are pretty addictive too so guess I'm hooked back on.
I got After burner : thick piece of beef n nice japaleno kick
My bf got Alterred beast: thinner cut of beef and a slice of bacon.
Side: beer batter chips are yummy dont miss it.
Me n my bf prefer After Burner cos it got thicker beef patty and taste nicer . So After burner next time for us .
One day in Melbourne and decided to give these burgers a crack! Great choice! Juicy, full of flavour and the gems were super crunchy! Great feed. Stoked you guys are now open in Sydney
If 8bit was in my suburb I would be a fat AF ! Best burgers and the quality is always consistent! The staff are friendly and I always finish my meal (rarely do)
Double Dragon with a chicken Addon is the best. It’s all good if I’m honest. Worth getting fat for. Those onion rings as well. Such a great burger joint
Nice vibe ! Live the old schooled game bg :) burgers and milkshakes well done . It's just delightful to see staff making food right in front of u.
One of my fav burger places. 8bit definitely hits the spot, it is one of the better burger places I've tried. They serve up a good size burger, super juicy and tasty. I keep it simple and order the classic 8bit burger and never disappoints. Why 8bit differs from the rest is because there hotdogs are also amazing! The 8bit dog is big and never dry. As well as there shakes, onion rings, shakes etc etc. This place is always heaving no matter what time of day it is, so expect a cosy lunch spot and bit of a wait.
I may have tried this place too late as I have had burgers very similar to this until now.
Not saying its a bad thing but to me its nothing new. Having said that the burgers were great!
The sriracha fried chicken burger was a complete knockout! the hotdogs were ok.
Service was very good, polite & friendly. This place has minimal seating that gives a 'quick bite' vibe but I think would benefit with expanding and adding larger tables as I saw families and larger groups walk in aimlessly looking for a spot to cram their prams & kids.
Really nice burger shop, good location and easy park. The burger tasted very nice and fresh, very time be there is full of people. Everyone want to try this nice and famous burger.
Did you call their main line hoping to order and get their auto response saying to use zomato?
You then found this lovely review and noticed.. you can't order online. Utter devastation.
If their food wasn't so horrible for you but so delicious.. I'd give them one star.
Someone point towards the button, I'm male and you know how hard it is for us men to find the button
Added a payment option.. still no order button. What is this maddness!
Definitely one of my favourite burger joints in Melbourne. I feel like this was one of the first places that made those American style burgers. Really tasty and well cooked and they’ll fill your burger craving for sure! I highly recommend!
We needed a late Friday night meal after some heavy drinking, thankfully we knew 8bit was still open and headed there. We ordered the altered beast and the 8bit burger, plus onion rings and loaded fries with cheese. It all went down well, I love the burgers here and would definitely visit again when in the area.
Decorations of this chain has always been so interesting. I like the nerdy gamer themed burgers, decor and staff. Prices have been right and the flavouring very interesting and unique compared to other chains. I tried the Zelda which is the chickpea combined with beetroot and avocado. Very nice combination and very filling. Would return if I was in the area.
This place never fails!!!! Definitely in my top burgers I have ever eaten. Always juicy Smokey patty’s with the right amount of sauce. The bun is always spot on and doesn’t fall apart. The cheese and bacon fries was unreal too not hell sickening. 🙌👏🍔🍟
Sunday and it was sunny and wanted something quick and tasty. Went to this burger joint place as 2 friends recommended before and they said this place serves delicious burgers. The place is funky with retro video game arcade decoration. Blue and white seems to dominate the colour. After reviewing their menu, decided to order their after burner burger and potatoes gems. It's a good choices cos burger is delicious, tasty beef patty and added on jalapeno and chili sauces gives it a spicy kick. Potatoes gems us their version of mini hashbrowns, it was crunchy and tasty. Happy with the recommendation and happy to recommended this place. 😊😊😊
I LOVE 8bit. Never had a bad burger, chips are sometimes a bit stingy when ordering online, but the burgers are so filling and delicious I don’t mind much. We eat here at least once a month, while we also try a new burger place every month. So far 8bit is the best!!! Thanks for the burgers everytime ;)
This place used to rock. The burgers were awesome. Lately they seem to be less yummy and more greasy. The loaded fries are still the bomb though. I could eat them for ever... Wish the staff were less snobby though...
8bit has been my favourite of the burger joints so far. Hadn’t had it in a while, and after revisiting it’s confirmed it’s still a favourite. Burger was spot on, the whole burger just works. Bun is awesome, patty cooked spot on and the sauce perfect. Fries are good too 👍🏻Definitely recommended!! Will be back again.
Burgers, gems and onion rings were all delicious. One of the best burgers available in Melbourne. Extra points for having a spicy chilli burger- delicious!
Always a safe stop if you're craving a burger. Had the Altered Beast and Golden Axe this time around and they were just as great as any other occasion. For me the fries are a little lackluster but the burgers are worth it. Of all of the burger places that have popped up over the years, 8bit Footscray remains my favourite. The Golden Axe chicken and coleslaw is a winning combo.
I rocked up and all I could see were gorgeous woman flipping burgers. Didn’t see a male insight.
The cheeseburger I had was a bit salty and over cooked for my liking but I’ll be fair because I was starving and I loved the fresh pickles and lettuce on the burger. I only had to wait about 10min too so that was very good. I’ve never seen a burger kitchen run so well. I’ll give them that. The place was moderately busy and they were able to whip out these orders in no time. Onya team 👍🏽
Here’s a downer, I also had the onion rings. The price for the rings is a bit steep at $5.50 I only got about 5 rings. Nothing worse than a stingy serving of something I can tell u that much. A regretful choice of side, I regret not ordering the potato gems true.
Not the best burger but I guess I’ll be back to give it another go sure. Thanks
It's always a good time for burgers decided to venture down to 8 bit for the first time In a while and something must be in the water cause God that was delicious went with the golden axe with an added beef Pattie and some bacon and cheese Fries to top it off
Burgers, are essentially, life when it's been nailed. love the gaming theme surrounding 8bit - it's worked up quite a reputation, and their burgers come out looking nice, and are quite filling. Had no issues with the staff or service; food came out quickly. Prefer this place over the CBD as it is more spacious.
Tasty burgers and a variety of selection of food in the menu! Amazing service! When my friends and I visited all the staffs were cheerful and super friendly, singing along to songs while cleaning making us feel like we were in GLEE! Would definitely come back if only it isn’t so far:( we live in Melbourne CBD...
Good burger small but flavoursome. Nice vibe with references to video game nostalgia. Been here a few times and have always had a good time. The one thing i did notice is when they are busy the food seems to be rushed and not as tasty (maybe a little overcooked)
Burger 7.5/10
Shakes are decent. Worth a slurp
Always delicious. Tonight particularly the team's positive energy and happy vibe picked up my spirits and I could taste it in the altered beast and fries. 😘
A very chilled-out venue. Had the '8bit with cheese' burger which was very tasty! Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for hearty burgers.
Super busy every time i come here, the burgers are really tasty but sometimes a little tooo oily but i feel like they've changed the buns they used - the old ones were better... Love getting the loaded fries with cheese and bacon though!
Mmmmmm i will 8 a bit of that burger. Peanut butter and pickles gets a hooorah out of me. Eat at the counter while smiling at the chef. Don't fall of your stool while you drool! I like the tasty piggy fries with cheese inside. Don't share them you'll make more friends if you eat them up nut... I'm the winner because I found the best place for dinner !
This place is always busy. Sometimes the line runs out of the door. The decor is modern and give me the gaming vibe. The food is great and I love overlooking the open spaced kitchen.
Pretty decent burgers! I had a hotdog for the first time visiting here (usually I get a burger) and it was yum! I really liked the bread roll haha. Always a good place to go to when nobody will decide where to eat. Prices are good too.
The very first 8bit in Melbourne there are often lines here and for good reason. The food here are all oily and fat yet sooo good. The fries with cheese and bacon are my favourite 😋😋
'Slam two at a time'. Love going here as reminds me of the Footscray old days.
I had their Fatal fury hot dog which is great, soft, juicy and a [bit spicy]!! It's never enough one dog, so I had to try their 'After Burner' burger as well. I was so friggin hungry that I didn't even taste the chilli at all, nevertheless, it hit the mark and that's vital. Funky joint, cool staff and I like their seating arrangements.
This is one of the best burgers in all of Melbourne, which is really saying something.
The service is good, and it's not too expensive for the quality.
I really like the mushroom burger and the onion rings are exceptional.
Fantastic!
Came here with a friend. The environment was extremely chill with staff dancing and singing which was nice to see. The food was delicious and full of flavour. Will be visiting again soon!
Gluten free burgers are good, id say great but a couple of times the gluten free bun has been very stale, so stale I just ate the insides of the burger.
Shakes are the best. Wish they had gf chips.
The benchmark when it comes to a great burger. Everyone seems to compare a burger they have eaten recently to 8Bit. It's genuinely the standard for a great burger.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Parking is a little tough here but its all worth it once you have a bite, this location seems slightly bigger than the CBD location but they both get really packed with people especially around lunch time. I love how everything is being prepared right in front of you and you can tell the employees work really well with each other and know how to handle their stations perfectly!
What i've tried: 8 Bit Dog, Golden Axe, Onion Rings.
The 8bit dog has lots of flavour and toppings that pair really well together. Its like a classic hot dog but with so much flavour.
The Golden Axe: Being a fan of chicken sandwiches i had to give this a try. I don't prefer slaw but the taste was light though which was perfect for me especially since the main event is the big ass juicy chicken fried to perfection. Seriously this chicken is juicy, order this with a side of onion rings because i promise you these are the best you'll ever taste.
(Also pictured is the double dragon which i managed to sneak a bite of..yes. it was delicious!)
Burgers are delicious. The seating is limited though so I suggest coming when it isn't peak hour. The double dragon is 10/10. The shakes are okay, not worth the price though. Chips are nice. The potato gems are always fresh every time I've come. I recommend they change the little tubs the sauces come in as they are hard to dip from. The gaming machines are cool though
A landmark burger stop in Melbourne which delivers a consistent good feed. I'm not a fan of every product but overall one of my favs, be back soon :)
Got 8 bit delivered the other day, first time I'd eaten from there in a good 6 months! Long story short, still the best burgers going around - By FAR! Not to mention the strawberry cheesecake milkshake, my god. Heaven in a cup
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.
