What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Burger Junkie is praised for its delicious burgers and flavorful wings, offering a laid-back atmosphere and friendly service. While many enjoy the innovative burger creations and crispy sides like poutine, some find the patties could be thicker, and a few have experienced longer wait times or order mix-ups. The Canadian-inspired comfort food and vibrant ambiance make it a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.
"If you love a good burger and top-notch service, Burger Junkie in Launceston is the place to be. The team here is super friendly, fast, and genuinely helpful—they even made sure my bacon was cooked exactly how I like it (a small detail, but it makes all the difference!). The food? Consistently delicious. I’ve been back since my first visit, and I’ll definitely be back again. Great vibes, great burgers, and great people—what more could you ask for?"

"I love the atmosphere in this place. Me & my cousin had a whisky & coke in a short glass at the bar while we made up our minds on what to choose off the menu. There was alot of choices. For me I don't like mayo or chilli. The menu was great but we decided on the special curried scallops & bacon with a beef patty. A little expensive at $22 considering it had no fries with it, but seafoods normally more costly anyway. The loaded fries was good value for $14 tho. I am from king island & my cousins from Wynyard. & for a long drive & a day out we like to treat ourselves on rare occasions when we are in launceston. Perfect potatoes we tried recently also & love that too. Over all burger junkie is a really nice place to relax & eat. But for us we got takeaways cos the parking is always difficult in launceston. We found a spot just around the corner on the one way street with 3 lanes. You gotta try both these places if your in the CBD."

"My first time in Launceston so I didn’t expect much in terms of burgers but man did Burger Junkie surprise me.
I was greeted by a lovely young lady and when I asked her about their chilli con carne, she went into the kitchen and brought me a sample. Needless to say, it was delicious so I was sold on dining here for lunch.
I had a decent chat to some of the team while I was waiting for the food, very pleasant interaction, great vibe.
The food came and it was incredible, my brother sitting next to me (the Matt Preston for hot chips) gave them a 9/10. I agreed with that rating.
All in all, I will visit when I’m in Launceston again, if I lived in the area, it would be my local.
Thanks guys"
