The Brodburger

Sure, there are plenty of options on the Brod menu—including vego and vegan options—but we’re traditionalists and this is the burger that started it all.
To sweeten the deal, Brodburger is giving $1.00 from every burger sold today to Been There, Done That, Let’s Chat—an organisation providing support in the ACT for Men’s Mental Health and Suicide prevention.

Karaage Ramen

This is not your traditional burger—ramen-crusted chicken, rainbow slaw, tonkatsu sauce, kewpie mayo, jalapenos, cream cheese. Crispy noodles in a burger? Sounds weird but it’s super yum.

Two beef patties, sliced Monterey Jack and Egmont cheddar, dill pickles, caramelised onion, tomato sauce and American mustard, with a side of housemade potato scallops. Burger heaven can be found at Kambah’s Little Theo’s.
