Correction (2 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten, and every place below was checked against its own current information.
A good burger list is a list of builds, not adjectives. This one takes what each venue publishes: what is in the burger, what it costs, and how messy that combination is likely to get. Only two of the six publish a price we could read, and only one of those also lists the build. The other four get a line each and no guesses. One is in Kew, one in Kew East and four in Hawthorn.
The quick picks
| If you want | Head to | What we can quote | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A pub burger with the build listed | Harp of Erin Hotel (Kew East) | Harp Burger: beef patty, lettuce, tomato, cheese, BBQ sauce | $18.90 |
| A burger night | The Beehive Hotel (Hawthorn) | Smash burgers, Thursday from 5pm | $21 |
| A burger in Kew itself | The Burger Block (Kew) | Its menu page is images only | n/a |
| A late burger | Huxtaburger Hawthorn | Listed 11:30 am – 1:00 am, every day | n/a |
The Burger Block — 85 Willsmere Road, Kew VIC 3101
The build: none to report. Its own menu page is images only, so we could read no build and no price. The site says “Every burger is crafted with premium ingredients, grilled to perfection, and served hot and fresh”, and lists Uber Eats, Menulog and Doordash as delivery partners. OpenStreetMap tags its cuisine as burger and asian. We have printed no hours, because the venue’s own site states none.
Order: no burger to name without a menu. Ask the venue for the build and price.
Harp of Erin Hotel — 636 High Street, Kew East VIC 3102
The build: the Harp Burger, $18.90, is “Beef Patty with lettuce, tomato, cheese & BBQ sauce”. The Cajun Chicken Burger, also $18.90, is a charcoal bun with lettuce, tomato, onion rings, ranch dressing and chips. The Chicken Parma Burger is $17.90 “In a milk bun with lettuce”, served with chips, and the Chicken Schnitzel Burger is $16.90 with lettuce, tomato and cheese on a milk bun. The pub’s site says its bistro is “open for lunch & dinner 7 days a week”.
Mess forecast: low to medium for the Harp Burger (one patty, one sauce); medium to high for the Cajun (onion rings and ranch). That is an inference from the builds, not a report from a plate.
Order: the Harp Burger, $18.90, as the plain beef-and-cheese call.
The Beehive Hotel — 84 Barkers Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
The build: the pub’s weekly specials list “$21 SMASH BURGERS” on Thursday from 5pm. A smash burger is a ball of mince pressed flat on a hot grill so the edges crisp. We captured no component list for it. The pub’s own site gives more than one set of hours: when we read it on 2 October 2026 its FAQ said Monday to Thursday 11:30am to 10:00pm, Friday to Saturday 11:30am to late, and Sunday 11:30am to 10:00pm; its structured data says Monday to Thursday 12:00 pm to 11:00 pm, Friday to Saturday 12:00 pm to late, and Sunday 11:30 am to 11:00 pm; and its footer says “12PM - LATE” every day. Check before you go.
Order: the Thursday smash burgers, $21, from 5pm.
Huxtaburger Hawthorn — 681 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
The build: none to report: we did not read a menu for this branch, so there is no build or price here. The Glenferrie Traders Association directory lists its hours as 11:30 am to 1:00 am every day of the week.
Order: no burger to name without a menu.
Grill’d Hawthorn — 754 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
The build: none to report; no menu or price captured. The directory’s page for it says “Grill’d Hawthorn is where it all began for us in 2004.” Hours per the directory: Monday to Thursday and Sunday 10:00 am to 10:00 pm, Friday and Saturday 10:00 am to 10:30 pm.
Order: no burger to name without a menu.
BurgerRoad Hawthorn — 103 Burwood Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
The build: none to report. The brand’s own site lists the Hawthorn branch with its address, and says “Click on an individual store to place an order for that specific location”, so the per-store menu sits behind its ordering page, which we did not read. We have no hours or prices for this branch.
Order: no burger to name without a menu.

How we checked
On 2 October 2026 we confirmed each address at two independent sources: the venue’s own website, the Glenferrie Traders Association directory or 3AW, plus OpenStreetMap. Prices and builds are copied from the venues’ own pages: the Harp of Erin Hotel’s food menu page and the Beehive Hotel’s weekly specials. The Burger Block’s menu is images only, and the Huxtaburger, Grill’d and BurgerRoad pages we could read give no menu or price, so we have printed none. Hours for Huxtaburger and Grill’d come from the Glenferrie directory, not the venues. Hours and menus change, so check before you go. The cover photo is illustrative, from Unsplash: it shows the kind of burger, not any venue’s food.
