A really good cheeseburger - but in a sandwich! Why have burger buns when you can have grilled cheese sourdough? The Blackmore wagyu patty was juicy, very tasty with the pastrami jam, garlic aioli and cucumber pickles. Very classic cheeseburger ingredients and executed well in this sandwich. Overall a good sandwich, slightly pricey but it was delicious so I’ll take that.

Visited on a public holiday and at 11am, their tater tots were already out of stock! This eliminated many of their breakfast options, sadly. Would return again earlier to try their other options.

So glad my friend and I shared the sandwiches at this place, because they are really generous with the meat! The smoked pastrami brisket was just overflowing in between the slices of caraway rye sourdough toast, it wasn’t too salty on its own but the sheer amount of it in the sandwich made it quite so, along with the provolone cheese. Fortunately there was sauerkraut and Russian dressing to cut through the salty and savoury notes.

Overall a very tasty sandwich, would recommend to share otherwise the pastrami brisket can get quite overwhelming. Slightly pricey for a sandwich, but the amount of meat and tastiness of the dish kinda makes up for its price.

🌯 Breakfast Burrito ($22++) (8/10)
Can I just say how thicccc this burrito is... omg 🥵 sexy. Its really stuffed with ingredients like eggs and hash browns, very satisfying but tbh I wish I'd picked something else cuz its pretty ex and their eggs weren't super flavourful on their own. I ended up drowning my burrito in hot sauce oops.

🥞 PBD Big Breakfast ($28++) (9.2/10)
This is honestly SO BOMB. Friend got it and let me try some. The pancakes in particular are just absolutely bomb. Super soft and fluffy, and they were topped with some kind of mango curd that was heavenly. The tater tots were also really crispy and yummy. It's expensive but I'd return just for this.

The eggs were a tad overcooked and not runny at all 😔😔😔 very simple components, one of those dishes where you can't help but think "I can make this myself at home". Glad I tried but would not come back for this specifically! Flat white was aight, very mild roast which I personally like.
