A Fun and Casual Dining Experience

Stepping into Benny’s Burger is like entering a slice of West Coast America on the Gold Coast.

  • Music-Filled Atmosphere: A lively soundtrack of hip-hop classics sets the tone, creating a fun and upbeat environment perfect for groups of friends or family outings. The music is played at a volume that allows for conversation while still enjoying the vibe.
  • Family-Friendly Setting: Despite its cool, edgy vibe, Benny’s remains welcoming to families. It’s a relaxed alternative to more formal Surfers Paradise dining spots and offers a “Munch Box” and other kid-friendly options.

Burger Highlights: Something for Every Craving

At Benny’s, burgers are the star attraction, with something to satisfy every craving. Their menu features patties made from 100% Australian beef.

  • Beef Burgers: From the simple yet iconic cheeseburger to the fiery “Spicy Beef” option with jalapenos and hot sauce, beef lovers are well catered for. For a true challenge, the “Bigger Than Texas” burger features a beef patty, crispy chicken tenders, and slow-cooked pulled pork.
  • Chicken Burgers: Choose between classic fried chicken, a “Nashville” glazed patty with ranch and slaw, or the “Hawaiian” with pineapple and ham.
  • Veggie & Vegan Burgers: With plant-based patties and flavour-packed toppings, Benny’s ensures all diners have delicious choices, including a “Simple Vegan” burger with avocado.
  • Premium Burgers: For the truly hungry, signature creations like the “Pulled Pork Burger” with eight-hour slow-cooked pork or the multi-patty “The Iron Lotus” deliver indulgence in every bite.

Beyond Burgers: The Supporting Acts

While burgers headline the menu, Benny’s Burger delivers plenty of supporting acts:

  • Sides: Crispy fries, golden onion rings, creamy mac and cheese bites, and crunchy tater tots are popular choices.
  • Poutine: The Canadian-inspired poutine is a must-try. You can get the traditional version with cheese curds and gravy or load it up with bacon, pulled pork, or brisket.
  • Hot Dogs: Juicy franks in soft buns with toppings ranging from classic to loaded.
  • Milkshakes: Hand-spun, thick, and creamy shakes in classic flavours like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, as well as creative options like Nutella and Biscoff.
