BenBry Burgers, Manly

“The best burgers in Sydney you say?” I ask my friend. “Yes” she replies definitively. Granted she has yet to try the Plan B Wagyu burger but she insists that while Plan B’s is no doubt good, BenBry’s burgers are enormous, juicy and filling. From the dreamy look on her face, I’m almost convinced so I do what any curious food fanatic does, I went to BenBry to have a taste of them myself.

I’ve come armed, armed with hungry men. Which is a pretty good way of judging the size of a burger. Inside, there’s one large wooden table with bench seating which seats up to 8 as well as high bar stools to the left. Not a great deal of space to eat in but we are in luck and the couple inhabiting the large table leave soon after.

Waiting for the table to clear has given us plenty of time to contemplate the menu. There are several types of beef burgers, lamb burgers, chicken burgers, a Barramundi burger and 2 vegetarian burgers as well as kid’s sizes and sides. We make our choices and wait about 10 minute for our orders which all come at the same time as there are many takeaway orders for the waiting crowds behind us. The first thing we notice is the size of the burgers, at about 13cms in diameter they’re huge. Figaro suggests putting a McFeast or Big Mac against them to show the size comparison. They’re also flatter than other burgers so that they’re easier to eat.
