Great food, great beer, did I mention how good the food was? Had a double....wow! Still hungry...had a single. Do the single with bacon. The crunch was perfect on every bite. Great staff too. Super friendly with my booking. Keep it up guys. Great location. Bueno!
This is no doubt the best burger joint I've ever been to, everything is fresh and tastes amazing - not to mention the sick weekly specials!!.
What makes it even better is the service, absolutely top notch!!!! Can't get enough of down n out! love you guys!
9/10
1) Ape Style (added mushroom) - the quality of the beef is what you expect from a good burger and the portebello mushroom was soo thick and fried to perfection
The cheese patty was a bit too much for me and I never understood fries in a burger because they just get soggy
2) Onion Rings - Still crunchy after a really long time but I do find that after a while onion rings become very greasy but that's in general with most places I've come across
After eating my share of burgers over the years, I find myself gravitating back to a more simple sandwich. All the enormous burgers filled with crazy ingredients may be good fun for a bit, but I find that all they really do for me is detract from the simple pleasure of meat and cheese between two buns. Down Nā Out goes back to basics in the best way possible, with a focus on doing the classics just right. Mind you, they do have a more adventurous weekly special, but if youāre finding yourself a bit jaded by the surplus of gimmicky burgers on the market, Down Nā Out feels like a return to nature (in the greasiest way possible).
Ight hold out, legit when you get to the entrance of down n out legit it look so sketchy and dodgy. But once you go up the flight of stairs, the vibe is most definitely not a let down. Its between a pub like vibe and like a little secret restaurant. with primary group of mates, workers from the cbd and a variety of other groups. The atmosphere is dimly lit but just enough to make everything out, with retro TV shows playing and classic comic strips and news around the brown wall its definitely open to a variety of identities. The burgers are pricey but the size is not a let down as it is extremely good for value and taste, from order to burgers on the table it is extremely quick, service from the bar is very friendly and conversation-able its not the bland how are you what would you like today.Ā
Enough about the place onto the food, for starters i suggest single burger or double as flavors are basic but extremely packing with its fresh lettuce, beautiful sweet bun, just the right amount of its signature sauce and god damn juicy meat paddy, honestly you cant go wrong with it.Ā
but if you wanna go big or go home they have weekly specials which is extremely messy and packing so much content in it, enough though there is a lot of content flavor is just right and balancing out each other. if you are staying for a short time in sydney or just pasting by i suggest you give its weekly special burgers, cause god knows they will come back.Ā
honestly this is a place i would not mind going to week and week again, specially before or after events or simply just after work its not too loud not to quiet just right. love it
BBQ Shapes
Ā
Loved the DnO Shapes series and what a fitting way to end it with the popular BBQ flavour.Ā This had everything youād want in a chicken burger, onion rings, cheese, bacon and a mayo with some kick to it.
Fried chicken had that wicked BBQ shapes flavour and was so tender with each bite, cheese gradually melted deeper into the burger which just made the chicken that much better.Ā Bacon was plentiful and crisp and the onion rings were huge, they had to be with the chicken, was a nice soft texture to compensate the firmer texture of the chicken.Ā
Won a free shot of fireball via their scratchie which topped off another great DnO chicken burger.
Ā
Environment: Small bar with dimmed lights, the only bad thing Iād say about this place is itās not very pram friendly as you need to go up a lot of stairs however the staff are super friendly. They went out of their way to boil water to heat up my daughters milk so Iām sure theyād give you a helping hand if you need.
Food:
Single burger: The patties were cooked perfectly, nice and pink.
Chickān: The chicken breast was cooked just right, not dry with a nice crispy coating that is not too thick. The sauce was amazing!
Tiger fries: Didnāt really stand out for me but something different rather than just normal fries.
First visit here to grab one of the specials that grabbed my eye on Instagram. Unfortunately it missed the mark for me. Chicken was a bit overcooked leading to a dry coating that has a somewhat chalky mouth feel. Sauce was good but there wasn't enough and the bun was a little dry too. I eat a lot of burgers so I'll be sure to come back and try one of their more popular burgers. Keen to see what else these guys can do.
Dark little bar with fancy cocktails. They got cheesy burgers and crispy wings with tangy buffalo sauce. No.2 burger in Syd. Xihuahua š¶ ate too much there.
Great craft beer selection, just what I needed with my burger. Hearty burger with delicious meat. Wings could have maybe been a bit hotter for my taste and the blue cheese sauce was tasty. This is the place you go for a dirty burger and a nice beer, like a cooler version of in n out.
Wow!! Donāt be fooled by the grungy bar vibes, Down N Out arenāt playing around when it comes to their burgers. These beauties are extremely well thought out and put together. Firstly the presentation is immaculate. In terms of taste; the sauces were extremely complimenting to the meat without being overbearing. The meat in particular the beef, was incredibly flavoursome and juicy. All the components were fresh. All in all you canāt ask for much more. The single cheeseburger with bacon and jalapeƱos is up there with the best burgers weāve had! Do yourself a favour and pay them a visit if you take your burgers seriously!!
*Single burger was delicious, especially the sauce
*Tiger fries were tasty (portion size enough for 2 people if you donāt have a big appetite)
*Wait staff friendly
*Waiting time moderate (took about 20 minutes for 2 burgers and fries to come out)
*A little packed being a Friday but was able to get a table for 2 fairly easily (around 7pm at the time)
**Overall, very good and would say the burgers are similar to Burger Project but better. Would definitely come again.
