If you’re driving through Sydney, and your stomach starts rumbling, you need to make one stop: Burger Point. This isn’t just your typical burger joint. It’s a place where American-style burgers get a bold Filipino twist, and let me tell you, it’s a match made in burger heaven. In this Burger Point review, I’ll walk you through my favourites, what makes this spot so special, and why it’s worth the trip. Spoiler: there’s ube involved!
Mad for the Chook: What to Order at Burger Point
Let me kick things off with my favourite, the Mad Chook. Picture crispy fried chicken, perfectly seasoned, and tucked between soft buns with creamy sauce. It’s the kind of burger that makes you rethink every fried chicken sandwich you’ve ever had. It’s not just good; it’s life-changing (okay, maybe not life-changing, but it’s definitely something to write home about). Honestly, if KFC’s Zinger had a cooler older cousin, this would be it.
Then there’s the Big Boss (Double). If you like your burgers hefty, this one’s for you. Double beef patties, cheese, and all the good stuff, stacked high and dripping with flavour. It’s got a real “go big or go home” vibe, and after eating this, you’ll definitely be heading home for a nap. The size and flavour are both larger than life, and it’s everything you want in a burger when you’re feeling extra hungry.
Burger Point’s Secret Weapon: The Signature Purple Dulce
Of course, no Burger Point Marsden Park review would be complete without talking about their iconic signature purple dulce. This ube milkshake is not just a drink—it’s a dessert experience. If you grew up Filipino, you already know the magic of ube. It’s the bright purple yam that somehow makes everything better. Drinking this shake brings back memories of childhood meriendas (snacks) with a modern gourmet glow-up.
The Ones That Got Away: Sweet Potato Fries and BBQ Goodness
Here’s where I get a bit nostalgic (cue the sad violins). Remember the sweet potato fries? Yeah, I still dream about those. The sweet potato fries were crispy, golden, and just the right balance of sweet and savoury. I could eat a whole bowl on my own. Or the BBQ pork and BBQ ribs that were so tender they fell right off the bone? It’s a shame they’re no longer on the menu, but I like to think they’re just taking a long, well-deserved break. If anyone at Burger Point is reading this—please bring them back! (A girl can dream, right?)
Filipino Flavours in Every Bite
What sets Burger Point apart from your standard burger place is the way they sneak Filipino flavours into every bite. From the adobo-style marinades to the use of ube, it’s like a love letter to the Philippines wrapped up in a burger bun. Growing up Filipino in Australia, you quickly learn to appreciate food that blends cultures, and Burger Point nails it. It feels like a taste of home with a modern twist, like eating your way through a family fiesta without having to explain to your tita why you’re still single.
Living in Canada now, I can definitely say I miss those distinctly Aussie moments—like hunting for a good burger that doesn’t forget its roots. Burger Point manages to give me that slice of nostalgia with every visit.
Trendy Bites with a Twist
Let’s talk about their famous doughnut-glazed burger buns. Yes, you read that right—doughnut-glazed. It sounds wild, but once you try it, you’ll wonder why every burger doesn’t come with a hint of sweet. Burger Point knows how to ride the trend wave and still keep it grounded in serious flavour.
Also, shoutout to their famous cheesy burger dipping sauce. I don’t know who had the brilliant idea of letting us dip our burgers into even more cheese, but I’ll gladly shake their hand. This sauce isn’t just for fries—it’s an all-in-one cheese bath for your burger, because why not?
