If you are looking for fantastic burgers in South Melbourne, then you can't go past Ziggy's Eatery. This convenient corner location has a funky interior with primary colours adorning the walls and furniture, with cool prints on the walls adding a sense of fun. A window bar overlooks the busy street, or you can sit at one of several tables in the dining area. This restaurant also does a roaring trade in takeaways.

The menu is epic, with a fantastic choice of burgers, wraps and loaded fries; as well as a fantastic selection of salads for the more health conscious. The restaurant is also liscenced, and we started with a beer and a fun canned rosé. Our choice of burger was a spicy beef burger which had a delicious, meaty beef patty, gooey melted cheese, onions and crumbed whole jalapenos. Wow, this had an amazing kick, and wasn't wimpy at all. The bun was soft and fresh, and it absolutely delivered on flavour and satisfaction. A side of spicy loaded fries was also a great choice, with the chilli aioli having a nice zing, and the chips were fantastic and crispy.

I also wanted to try one of the salads, and I was so glad that I did. My chicken salad was a huge serve, with a base of fresh salad leaves topped with tender marinated and grilled chicken, pickled onions, deep fried jalapenos, feta, almonds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds. The dressing was tangy and a great sharp contrast to all the fresh ingredients. I loved the spiciness, and was so full after only getting half way through, so had to take the remainder home in a doggie bag.

The staff are sensational. So friendly and chatty, and more than happy to offer suggestions. The service is excellent, and didn't take too long despite everything made fresh. Chatting over our drinks, and taking in the fun ambience made the wait fly by. Ziggy's is the perfect choice for a casual lunch or dinner, and with so many great options available, you could come back constantly, and never tire of it. I know that I can't wait to try more of their delicious burgers.

So glad this place has lasted the distance, great food, lovely guy who runs it
