1090 Burger
The burgers feature perfectly charred, crispy smash-style patties served on toasted milk buns with fresh salad and generous fries. While the simple decor lacks flair, the friendly service and ideal takeaway setup make it a top choice for a casual meal.

“Damn near perfect smash-style burgers (I saw someone complaining that the patties were crispy??? Homie, get educated!). Absolutely lovely people, and while the decor isn't anything home to write about, it's perfect for doing takeaways with your mate before you go to the park. It's the best burgers in Richmond, no contest.”
