The benny’s burger was very good. The only thing that I would probably like is that there be mayo with the chips.
Had the mushroom burger and loved it. Absolute winner. So much mushrooms, sauce and a juicy patty. Will be back to try some other burgers on the menu!
As it turns out, the man behind one of Melbourne’s top fine dining destinations also knows his burgers thanks to the man behind the man: his father. It’s the fond childhood memories that Chef Shannon Bennett has of his father’s home-cooked BBQ burgers that inspired him to revisit the tradition with his own family down the track and also culminated in the opening of Benny Burger in Richmond and CBD. But unlike most of the other fast food burger joints that spring to mind, Benny Burger prides itself on using fresh, organic and sustainable produce in the creation of their burgers.

Very quick and painless process. I ordered The Chang (at only $7.45, maybe a tightar5e Tuesday IG special) and 5 mins later the buzzer went off. Winning.
The Chang is like a modern version of The Lot, you might get from a fish & chip shop, or at the Carribean Gardens back in 1995.
It doesn't have a wedge of canned beetroot, but it does have a sweet and zingy beetroot relish. This was additionally complimented by pickled thin red onion and pickles.
The egg was perfectly fried, just enough for the yolk to be oozy but not runny.
The milk bun is buttered and grilled, keeping good structure when pressed.
Decently thick wagyu beef patty had excellent flavour, grilled medium (actually there was no pink) - I prefer it grilled medium-rare, but nevertheless it was still juicy.
The local cheddar is tasty, kind of wrapping everything up in its oozy cheesiness.
Dave Chang can keep his iceberg lettuce, or better yet feed it to horses, cos that sht doesn't belong in burgers. Benny uses butter lettuce, which has a mild, delicate flavour.
So in the end, a delicious and satisfying burger. To boot, Benny has ethical standards to food sourcing and sustainability. Good on you Shannon.
Owned by Shannon Bennett, famous Vue De Monde’s chef; He introduced the “Ethical way” to make a burger meaning that all ingredients are all organically or ethically produced. We’re glad to be re-invited in Benny Burger shop, Little Collins. As soon as we arrived, we were welcomed by the friendly assistant manager / chef / customer staff on that day.
I tried Richmond and just tried Collins street branch. Not as much space or seating but still the same quality of burgers and those crispy chips.
Head chef of the famous Vue de Monde at Rialto Towers, this is Shannon Bennett's burger joint!!!
Ordered:
🍔 Mr Fun-Gi: 125g wagyu beef, local cheddar, crispy onion rings, pickles, sauteed mushrooms & onions, zippy tomato sauce ($13.90)
🍟 Large chips: Use codeword SOCCEROOS between 25/6/18 - 15/07/18 (free)
Review:
Burger bun was tantalizingly soft and the combination of sauteed mushrooms and onion gave it that familiar grilled taste of a bunning's cheeky sausage sizzle.
Tangy crunchy bite from the pickle, combined with sweetness of tomato sauce and the dark intense wagyu beef and you got yourself a winning, memorable combo!!
Although my one gripe would be that the burgers were a little small :(
They forgot our SOCCEROOS chip order and it came out relatively late - possibly because it was only second day of promotions. Super cool that a starting restaurant was able to do this though! 10/10 for customer engagement

First of all, i want to say that Im so fortunate to got invited to come to Benny Burger new store at Little Collins Street. I was super excited to come and try all of the menu! Upon my arrival, i was greeted by the staff.he was super friendly and nice. He nicely explained all about the menu & the best recommended burger and the sides and the drink as well..
Food:
The Chang was super delicious!!!the vegies (pickles,onion,tomato and beetroot) was very fresh giving a sweet and sour taste into it. The 125g wagyu beef was no doubt perfectly cooked,seasoned and juicy!! The sauce makes the harmony in the burger;not too overpowering but i still can taste the melted cheese and the original taste of the meat itself.
No Apologies Double Cheese was so thick! Im not even finished the burger,but it was so satisfying that you cant think of anything.. it was really worth every $ that i spent. The wagyu beef was so tender & juicy,perfectly seasoned. the onion & pickle were fresh and local cheese melted in your mouth too. The sauce makes it all well blend together. Huge portion too!
Hand Dipped Potato Cake was delicious! The skin was so crispy it feels like you eat fish and chips but better! The layer was perfectly better & not greasy at all! Very recommended! (And order it with the extra firecracker sauce too)
Fries with firecracker was bomb too! The spicy mayo and green chilli was a perfect harmony. The fries was crispy,perfectly seasoned and cooked and not oily at all. But when you mix together with the firecracker, it was a magical moment for me..
I also order chocolate milkshake and apple juice. Chocolate milkshake was thick and not too sweet which is perfect for me!
Overall: good food,good place,good vibes,friendly and attentive staffs. I’ll be back for sure! Thanks for inviting me olivia❤️

The quality of the ingredients, especially wagyu beef, really stood out. The sauce was nice and tangy, I like the red oak lettuce they use instead of iceberg. Love they don’t charge for a gluten free bun, it tastes better than grilld. It was my 2nd time here; tonight’s burger was a little over sauced compared to my first time. Chips were nice.

Went to Benny Burger for dinner yesterday and had a remarkable experience!
Order
🔹️ Chang Burger- my mate ordered the Chang and couldn't have been happier with his choice. It's a must try for all meat lovers!
🔹️ Yoga Burger- Benny Burger isn't really a place for Vegans or Vegetarians. They only have the Yoga Burger with a rich yet easy to eat beetroot and chickpea patty. Was a good burger for sure but a few more options would have been handy.
🔹️ Firecracker fries- HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT! Extremely spicy and not for everybody but if you enjoy your spice, be absolutely sure to try these.
🔹️ Potato cake- really well cooked and wasn't excessively oily like at most other places. Great side and would recommend!
🔹️ Chocolate Shake- I haven't had chocolate shake so chocolatey in a very very long time. I couldn't stop drinking it! Highly recommend it!
🔹️ Pale Ale- Benny Burger have their special Pale Ale on the menu. If available, do try it.
Special shout out to the assistant manager for providing us with exceptional customer service. He was really friendly and super easy to talk to.

I had the standard fare Mr Burns with added cheese and the Firecracker fries. Burger was well cooked, medium rare and well constructed. Bun was really nice, apparently house made. Not sure I would venture into their more creative creations as the simple burger was good enough for me. The firecracker fries were fantastic. The green salsa and addition of fresh chilli really added spice. A nice feature of this place is the free sparkling mineral water. Also their efforts to reduce plastic use through paper cups and straws and wooden utensils is a great initiative. Really impressed.
I finally got to try this, as it just opened in CBD Melbourne. The hype is totally justified, this isn't just your average burger joint. They have a variety of different burgers, literally, something for everyone, and with the first bite, you can taste the love gone into it. My burger patty was perfectly cooked and seasoned, it melted in my mouth, I can not wait to be back!
Mr burns with bacon and cheese and the firecracker fries. Sensational. Burger cooked just right, fresh and tasty ingredients. Chips had just the right amount of kick. Had to take a phone call before I finished and even after the burger had sat on my plate until it was cold, the damn thing was still one the tastiest morsels I've had in a while. Will be back!
Ordered the "No Apologies Double Cheeseburger" and salted fries to go with. Service was great and prices are reasonable, from ordering it only took a short while before we got our food to take out.
The bun of the burger was soft and held it's shape, can definitely taste the butteriness of the bun. The beef patties were cooked perfectly with pink colour in the centre and the condiments were all perfectly balanced. The burger itself was not falling apart when eating from overload of sauce and juices which is a win. One of those burgers where you feel completely satisfied without feeling sickly after.
Fries were crispy outside, soft inside and evenly salted. Even after finishing the fries there was no residue oil in the packaging.
Have walked by here many times but never walked in before, would definitely go back an recommend.
