Laurie Dee's Hamburgers & Frozen Custard

I had been looking forward to visiting Laurie Dee's for a long time and I finally made it there! We ordered the Laurie Dee burger and the bacon burger between the two of us.

The restaurant is designed like a nostalgic American diner, which complements the burger concept perfectly.

As someone who works in Epping, being right next to the plaza makes Laurie Dee's a tempting and dangerous spot for me.

Went to Laurie Dee's for dinner tonight with my partner. We both ordered the double cheeseburger which was fresh and delicious. She got the cheese fries whilst I settled for the plain fries which were amazing and paired with the classic condiment tomato sauce you can't go wrong. Highly recommend this meal to anyone who hasn't already tried it.

Having seen rave reviews of Laurie Dee’s in the newspaper, I headed off today for the 30 minute drive to check it out. Big place that Epping Plaza but I found the restaurant after a stroll around. Ordered “The Laurie Dee” burger, a small chips (these have to be ordered as an extra) & a strawberry shake. Also added crispy bacon to the burger for an additional $2. Got a ticket with the number 76 & waited for that number to be called. Immediately no 70 was called so I thought – good, this will be quick – but no, a 20 minute wait ensued. Really for such a simple meal, 20 minutes is just too long. But then my call & pick up from the counter. The fries are smallish cut but were delicious – just the right amount of added herbs. Did not like the shake at all – made with custard as that is the house specialty – but not to my taste, but does not influence my rating overall. Was disappointed with the burger for a number of reasons. The patty was thin & dry, the whole burger was dry. Love burgers that are dripping with juices but absolutely none of that here. And that extra $2 bacon – cooked to end of life & then a bit more again – not crispy, just burnt. So no, I will not go out of my way to do this again.
