Smash patties, Filipino feeds & serious sauce drip

Somewhere between a burger joint and a modern Filipino diner, you’ll find St Burgs doing things their own delicious way in Caroline Springs. Founded by burger-obsessive Dan Soto and backed by his brothers Jed and Kyne, this slick westside joint is home to Melbourne’s original smash patties—with a Filipino twist, of course.

Smash hits, westside style

Forget your standard beef burger. St Burgs’ signature patties are smashed hard— charred on the edges on the outside, pink and juicy on the inside. They come seasoned just right, stacked two high, and dripping with American cheddar, all tucked into a soft milk bun (no brioche here).

Grab the Cheesy D or go large with the Double D, both stacked with twin patties, the house gherkin relish, and a liberal helping of sauces—think BBQ, tomato, spiced aioli and Sriracha mayo. You’ll need extra napkins. Maybe even a bib.

A burger menu that knows its audience

Craving more? Try the Durger, a glorious ode to American burger perfection, or the Doughnut Burger, a full-blown cheat-day moment made with two Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts. Yes, really. It’s beef, bacon, cheese and sauce—bookended by dessert.

Vegetarians aren’t left behind either: the St Shroom comes with a cheese-stuffed mushroom, while Western Fried Chicken fans can get their fix with slaw and Sriracha.

Sides aren’t an afterthought. You’ve got seasoned fries, cheesy chips, sweet potato, onion rings, and shoestrings all fighting for your attention. Wash it all down with a Milo, Biscoff, or Nutella shake if you’re going full send—or keep it old-school with a cold Filipino beer.

Mum’s touch & Filipino comforts

Yes, St Burgs may be a burger joint, but its heart is Filipino. You’ll spot it in the Jollibee-inspired spaghetti, the chicken adobo, the sisig tacos, and the Filo bento box that comes stacked with rice, fried chicken, burger steak, spaghetti, and a shake (make it ube or pandan for full effect).

This isn’t fusion for the sake of it—it’s soul food reimagined for a new crowd. There’s palabok, quesadillas, birria tacos, and churros with ice cream on offer too. The kind of spread that makes you want to stay awhile… and maybe unbutton your jeans.

Burgers & beers with industrial vibes

The vibe? Industrial-cool with a dose of warm hospitality. St Burgs is laidback, family-friendly, and packed with people who know good food when they see it. There’s a kids’ burger meal for the little ones, and enough nostalgic joy on the menu to keep everyone else grinning.

With Filipino beers in the fridge, burgers built for double hands, and shakes that veer into dessert territory, St Burgs is more than just a burger joint—it’s a proper neighbourhood icon with serious edge.
