BurgerLab - Mentone

Went there a few times with my family. burgers are really tasty and there is a big choice. The loaded fries are worth a try and so are the milk shafkes. staf is always very friendly

This place started off well but has declined. Burgers are hit and miss and lack consistency. The last 3 times the burgers look like they have been thrown together. Our last order was takeaway. They said it would take 15 mins which was fine but after 25 mins we asked how much longer only to find our burgers had been sitting in a brown paper bag and gone cold. The bag had our name on it yet they didn't let us know. We were right in front of the counter all that time. They offered us a free drink when we complained but what's the point as that's not takeaway. This happened to us once before so my husband took the free beer while we waited only to find we had been charged for it when we got home. The staff are friendly but We won't be back.

My family planned lunch here this afternoon. This was a comedy of errors! Everyone be warned that the restaurant is now permanently closed. My son phoned, a couple of days ago, to book a table. Apparently the phone is now diverted to their Parkdale site - but no-one told him. He duly booked a table, thinking he was speaking to Mentone. We rocked up there, ooops. Checking the phone, we spoke with Parkdale and were told they we sorry but had no record of the booking. We chose another venue.

For convenience we pop into burger lab Parkdale every now & then. If you've got limited funds, this place is not for you. The burgers are exy, as are the chips ($4) & shakes ($9). But...if they have the smores shake on the menu, make sure you get one!!! I've only had the atomic burger (no jalapeños!) with the fried chicken & loved it every time. Rest of the family get various burgers with beef patties - sometimes good, sometimes look like they've been thrown together by a 14 year old at maccas! Beer & wine list is pretty limited. Overall though, it's burgers & fries. The service is good, the staff lovely & food comes out hot & fast. I'll be back.

Nice burgers, chips are good, bit pricy though which was disappointing. Probably $2 per burger too expensive.
