The Burger Shed - Mosman

If you're craving budget-friendly and delicious burgers on the north side of the harbor, look no further! This restaurant offers a variety of burgers to satisfy all palates. They have great specials every week and are willing to customize your burger to your liking.

I usually go to the restaurant next door for burgers, but I wanted something a bit more gourmet this time. However, the service was awful (the server told me that the items I ordered were not on the menu and had to double-check) and slow. The wagyu beef patty was overcooked and tasted like cardboard, and the burger was small for the price. The milkshake was small and did not have enough salt in the salted caramel flavor. This was one of the worst fast food experiences I've had. I will not be returning.

I went there on Thursday night. It was not so busy, but 2 other tables were full. The menu looks great and we ordered Mosman beef and chili chicken meal with truffle Parmesan fries and sweet potato wedges. The taste of burgers was incredible and they represent them well. Good part of burgers and chips with really good value specifically in Mosman. Grief There I noticed the deal for the Wednesday for Burger and Fat Yak Pale Ale and Chips for $ 15, which is so cheap and definitely going there on Wednesday.

So whilst I was chowing down on my delicious $9.90 ($10) steak special at the Mosman Hotel, my mate proceeded to inform me of another wonderful deal one can find in Mosman. A $15 burger, fries and schooner of beer (Fat Yak Pale Ale) at Mosman’s Burger Shed. A combo like that for $15 is usually a steal, especially when you consider most pubs will charge at least half of that if not more for a schooner of Fat Yak. Being a burger connoisseur, I was in and we agreed to meet up later that week to spend a worthy $15.  I went with the Smokey Bacon which comes with a waygu beef patty, streaky bacon, cheese, onion, tomato, lettuce, pickles and Smokey Shed sauce. My mate just went with the Vintage cheese which is a basically a cheeseburger. Both burgers are served up on soft milk buns. We both paired ours with a Schooner of Fat Yak (naturally, c’mon!) which were poured from the tap at the counter into fancy looking Fat Yak branded glasses. The restaurant wasn’t overly busy for a Wednesday evening and our meals came out quickly. Appearance wise they looked pretty damn good. Not extravagant or anything that looks like it’s trying for a place in the Guinness World Records, but it looked solid and tasty. The fries came in little deep fryer baskets that I’ve noticed some restaurants are using as s trendy way to serve chips. The chips were solid and on point. Hot, and crunchy whilst remaining soft and fluffy on the inside. I’ve noticed that French Fries no longer seem to be the norm at most places, and this pleases me a lot. French Fries are overrated in my opinion. Fine for McDonalds, but other than that they’re not needed in the culinary world. The burger ended up being pretty tasty. The patty, which is kind of the centrepiece of the burger wasn’t as good as I was hoping to be. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t made in house and was pre-made by a machine (you can always tell just by the shaping of the patty). It was also slightly overcooked for my liking leaving it a little chewy. That aside, it was seasoned well and tasted OK. It did go well with the other ingredients in the burger. The smokey burger sauce was really nice and complemented the patty and bacon really well. The bacon was cooked nicely, but wasn’t crispy which is OK by me in a burger. The cheese had melted perfectly over the beef which is always a good sign, and the lettuce and tomato provided an excellent freshness which rounded out juices dribbling out courtesy of the oil from the beef and cheese, along with the burger sauce. All in all, it was a nice burger, without being anything overly special. I’ve heard these guys have been poor in the past but apparently have been taken over and in recent months have been improving. The addition of the $15.00 burger special with a beer is a great concept and I’m sure it’s going to help bring many customers though the doors. So long as they keep the simple things right with their burgers I’m sure they’ll gain a good reputation of being a solid burger joint in Mosman and the Northern Beaches/North Shore. I’m sure I’ll be back. They’ve some other burgers that look pretty decent, and you can’t go wrong with a schooner of beer with a burger!
