This was a Menulog pickup for Pounders’ affiliated “Krispy Chook” fried chicken section.
The Gangnam and original fried wings are amazing. Not ketchup-like, like other less authentic Korean places. Even though this joint does not advertise heavily to be in Korean style, the flavours are similar and the chicken is crisp. The tenders are also great value for money, but they are a little bland (we ordered the legendary flavour).
Overall, great feed and all sauces (Korean sauce seems to just be gochujang) are delicious.
Some great staff they have. Truly wonderful and amazing people. One of the few places that I've been to where I feel like home. P.s : The Philly cheesesteak here is worth dying for.
loved meal for burger, fries & crazy shake.
All burgers on their menu are good but Phillycheesesteak is my favouraite...yummm..i can eat it everyday😀.

The restaurant is well advertised; looking at the their ‘Philly Cheesesteak’ on DoorDash had me instant craving for one. I arrived at the restaurant at around 2.50am, just after their kitchen is supposed to close (NOTE: restaurant closes at 3.00am but kitchen closes earlier at 2.45am). The staff taking my order was kind enough to let me order despite their register closing times. When they misunderstood my order, despite their restaurant being already closed, the staff politely and calmly corrected the order. That’s some excellent customer service right there (11/10!).
The ‘Philly Cheesesteak’ lived up to my expectations and satisfied my every craving for it. The steak was nicely barbecued and I was able to taste the smokiness of it. The cheese was melting perfectly and the size was generous (bigger in surface area than a foot-long sub from Subway). However, even though there was some spicy mayonnaise in it, towards the end of the sandwich sub, it got rather dry. I suggest adding more sauce towards the end or more sauce in the whole sandwich. Other than that I had a great dining experience. Great job guys! Keep up the good work 👍👍
The food is of good quality and the burgers are really yummy. Apart from this good music and lively atmosphere.😍
We had an awsome christmas party at Pounders. The burgers and shakes were really nice
The burgers were the best....i had a very picky request for my burger but i got exactly what i ordered...loved it! Would definately come back.
Truly a hidden gem in Syndal, wish i knew about this place earlier!! Amazing food and amazing atmosphere! Will definitely be coming back for more!!
Great food and great atmosphere
Solid burger joint. Fresh and thick beef patties. Crispy chips and good milkshakes, that would be better if they were thickshakes.
Went there using groupon voucher. When we came, there was no one at the cashier. The only staff visible was cooking in the kitchen. There was a customer already seated waiting for the food. We seated ourselves and looked at the menu. Basically that only staff was taking orders and cooked too. We were rather worried that it would take ages for us to be served as people come in and out, some had takeaways. We got a old mate burger and asked the other burger to be exchanged with buffalo wings. The chips portion was sooo generous, and not bad chips either. The buffalo wings are really nice, crispy and had beautiful sauce and a little bit spicy. The burger was beautiful and moist with lots of sauce. Overall good experience.
Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, soothing music and of course very tasty food. They tick all boxes to have good fast food restaurant. I would rather like to see quick serving but as per restaurant management, they cook meat from raw instead of half cook which takes them more time to cook fresh and juicy burgers which is fine for me as far as I am eating something freshly cook burger. This is must visit restaurant..
Another burger place added to favourites. Been 3 times already. Love their burgers. The $24 group on deal was just amazing. Philly cheesesteak and the chikky parma are highly recommend. Definitely coming back again
Nice and friendly staff, very nice burgers, beef burger is much better chicken burger, do recommended, I have been there twice using Group On vouchers !
Its Friday night, it’s been a long week and sometimes all you need is a good burger. So we headed to the newest burger shop on the block, Pounders. Nestled amongst the hustle and bustle of Glen Waverley, Pounders is a humble burger shop that offers simple tasty burgers done right.
Sitting down and a little hungry, we may have went a little overboard and had our way with the menu, because you know – we love our burgers. We’ll give you the rundown of what we thought…
We started simple with just a few sides, Juddy’s Buffalo Wings, Beer Battered Chips, Onion Rings and you know a little something extra that was off menu – Chicken Strips that came with Coleslaw and Fries.
Juddy’s Buffalo Wings
We had the spicy wings covered in saucy goodness, be prepared to get your hands dirty! If you love wings you’ll love these.
Beer Battered Chips
Simple straight forward good old fashioned chips that will go great well with whatever burger you order.
Onion Rings
These took us back to old school burger shops and we loved them every last one.
Chicken Strips
These off menu strips were great, we definitely recommend it – comes with a simple mayo dipping sauce that goes really well together.
Done with the sides we moved on to why we were really there, a few burgers. With so many delicious sounding burgers to choose from we had to get some help, so we asked the people that know best – the guys behind the counter who recommended the Burger Off, Yank Tank, Hot Mama and a Philly Cheesesteak and this would give us a taste of everything.
Burger Off
Simple straight forward burger that was deliciously simple, a great burger to start out on.
Hot Mama
Wanting to break up all the beef we opted to try a little spicy chicken, the Hot Mama had a nice spicy bite to it.
Yank Tank
Double up on the beef and cheese, add bacon and some BBQ sauce and you got yourself a burger to beat the hunger.
Philly Cheesesteak
This one is not like the others, while the Cheesesteak is not a burger it is a great addition to the menu. Channelling its roots, the Cheesesteak is smothered in melted cheese and juicy strips of steak, surrounded by a soft crispy roll. We definitely recommend this for anyone stopping in or not wanting a burger.
On a side note, we loved the way they put together their burgers, from the bottom up – bun, lettuce, mayo, patty/chicken, sauces, anything else that might be take your fancy and capped off with the other half of the bun. Sounds straight forward but keeping things separated allows you taste everything. Think about it and try it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
All in all we ate too much but it was worth it for tasty burgers and spicy wings. Now you know a little more about the burgers, here’s the cherry on top. Pounders knows you love a late night snack so they stay open late (usually around 3am) so you can get your burger fix any time you like – you can head on in or order via Uber Eats and don’t forget to get a side of wings they won’t disappoint.
This was after a 30% eatclub offer that I had received. A newly put up spot and a nice setting. Good ambience for a casual dining spot with a group of friends or a friend.
I was so hungry that day and I went for their hit wings and the yank tank as proposed by the nice lady at the counter. The wings weren't that hot despite numerous warnings before ordering it, and the chicken was undercooked with bloody coloured bones. Finished them despite the risk of salmonella. Very ordinary and wouldn't recommend it as a customer of gami chicken.
Going into the yank tank, 2x beef patty, bacon and American cheddar. This was such a gooood burger. All juices oozing out of the burger and the taste was heavenly. No complains at all there.
Wish they stopped wings and stuck to their burgers as they're so damn good!
Ordered from here twice now and both times really enjoyed the burgers. The presentation was a hot mess, but given the amount of sauce and fillings not hard to see why.
We absolutely enjoyed the burgers and it was perfectly seasoned, spicy & full of flavour.
Keep it up! Yum!
Myself and the wife tried this place last Friday nice
Front of house was pleasant
Onion rings we’re fantastic
I had the yank tank and wifey had the hellburger
Very nice !
Juddys wings were also good
Plenty of parking and open till 3 am 7 days !
I need not leave the couch
lovely place , such a nice surprise!
This place just opened up and the burgers are amazing
first ordered food on uber then went in store and sat down
burgers are good size and beef is awsome
chips and onion rings are pretty good aswell
this will be my new regular
Great new place that’s just opened up - We ordered the Big Kahuna and the XD Falcon (steak burger).
The onion rings at this place are just out of this world amazing. Totally stole the show!! Chips were also hot, fresh, fluffy and perfect.
My burger was delicious - the beef patty was really good quality. But the two thin steaks in the steak burger were overdone and too tough. The friendly service and onion rings more than made up for it though. Give this place a go!
EDIT: Came back here the other night and they have completely changed their onion rings. Now they're crumbed and have processed onion mush inside instead of slices of real onion... Tragedy!
Great new burger joint , like the buns and friendly staff
I had the judge , triple patty - sauces were tasty
The beer battered chips and onion rings will be on the menu next time I’m here
Will be back
👍
Very good burgers. 'Old Mate' burger is so tasty. Good alternative for the chips is the eastern spice chips. Very good. Have had a few times now. Nice people as well.
They open super late so if you are dying for something to eat late at night it's pretty amazing, chips were great and burger was juicy and hit the spot

Great taste quick service you can get delivery most if the day using doordash. Lovely meals quality taste
Went with an alternative delivery platform to normal today and discovered Pounders burgers for the first time. While the platform provided woeful service ended up taking 90 minutes for the delivery ( and requiring Pounder to remake my meal)... when it finally did arrive I was really impressed with the quality and value for money of their burgers. We had the Burger Off burger in beef ( also available in Chicken) and the Hot Mama chicken burger which was a juicy juicy burger. The onion rings were crispy and beer battered chips also very good. Would definitely have again but would order directly next time as they offer free delivery and a discount on their own website.
