Correction (2 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed burger places that we could not stand behind, on streets and under a postcode (3226) that do not match Melton South. It has been rewritten from scratch, and every place below was checked against its own current information.
A good burger list is a list of builds. Every entry below comes from what a venue publishes: what is in it, what it costs, and how messy that build looks on paper. We print burger prices for only one of the five, so this is a short, honest list and not a ranking. Mess forecasts are inferred from the listed build, never from eating one. Two places are in Melton South, one is in Weir Views (postcode 3338, shared with Melton South) and two are in Melton and Melton West (3337).
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | The build or listing | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A short build | Sideshow Burgers | Tightrope: Angus beef pattie, kewpie mayo, ketchup and cheese | $13.85 |

| A burger, chips and a can | Sideshow Burgers | Sideshow Burger Meal | $23.40 |

Sideshow Burgers — Shop 6, 11-17 Station Road, Melton South VIC 3338
The one place here whose burger prices we print, taken from the Melton South store’s page on the order.online storefront. Its hours there are “Online ordering hours: 11:00 AM - 1:40 AM”, which are ordering hours, not necessarily shop hours. Prices are ordering-page prices and can differ from the counter.
The build: Tightrope, “Angus beef pattie, kewpie mayo, ketchup & Cheese”, $13.85. Kewpie is a Japanese brand of mayonnaise. Mess forecast: low. One patty, cheese and two sauces, inferred from the listed build.
The build: Strong Man, “Double Angus beef patties, beef rasher, double cheese, lettuce, tomato, mustard, pickle, ketchup, kewpie mayo & grilled onions”, $25.15. Mess forecast: high. Double patty, rasher, double cheese and three sauces, inferred from the listed build.
The meals: the Sideshow Burger Meal is $23.40 and includes small chips and a can of any drink. The vegan Acro Dancer Meal Deal is $26.00, built on a “Beyond meat pattie”, with small chips and a can. The menu also has Kebabs / HSP and Parma categories.
Order: the Tightrope, $13.85. It is the shortest build in the beef burger list we captured.
Grill’d — Level G, Woodgrove Shopping Centre, 533-555 High Street, Melton West VIC 3337
Woodgrove’s directory lists Grill’d at Level G, open 10:30 AM to 9 PM Monday to Wednesday, 10:30 AM to 10 PM Thursday to Saturday and 10:30 AM to 9 PM Sunday. The centre’s listing says it uses “RSPCA Approved chicken and Australian grass-fed beef and lamb”. We captured no store prices; the national menu page we read carries none.
The build: no menu captured for this store.
Order: no price captured, so no pick.
McDonald’s — Shop R10, Opalia Plaza, 201 Exford Road, Weir Views VIC 3338
Opalia Plaza’s listing gives Shop R10 and says “Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week”. The same listing calls it “the group’s 1000th Australian store”. The 24-hour hours are the centre’s claim: the chain’s own site returned a server error when we checked, so we could not cross-check them there. We captured no prices.
The build: none captured; we did not read the menu.
Order: no price captured, so no pick.
Frilled Fresh — Melton Station Square, 11-17 Station Road, Melton South VIC 3338
Melton Station Square’s directory lists Frilled Fresh and says “Orders are available for dine-in, pickup and delivery.” Its own website’s tagline is “Healthy fish & flame-grilled burgers!”. We found no item prices, because its ordering site could not be read, and no hours we could verify.
The build: not listed in our sources.
Order: no item price captured, so no pick. The tagline pairs fish with burgers, so check which burgers are on the board.
PM’s Coffee — Shop T014, Coburns Central, 523-531 High Street, Melton VIC 3337
A cafe with a burger category, and the least documented place on this page. OpenStreetMap tags its cuisine as “burger;coffee_shop;sandwich;breakfast”, and the Woodgrove directory for Coburns Central lists hours of 6 AM to 5 PM Monday to Friday and 7 AM to 5 PM Saturday and Sunday. We found no website for it. Its DoorDash listing has a “BURGERS (SERVED WITH CHIPS)” category that says “All burgers served with a side of chips.”, and a “FRIED CHICKEN WAFFLE BURGER.” is among the items shown. DoorDash prices are marketplace prices that can differ from the counter, so we print none.
The build: no build description captured.
Order: no counter price captured, so no pick.

How we checked
On 2 October 2026 we read the Melton South store page for Sideshow Burgers on the order.online storefront, because the brand’s own ordering site defaults to a different store. We confirmed each venue at a second, independent source: the shopping centres’ own directories (Woodgrove, Opalia Plaza and Melton Station Square), OpenStreetMap, Restaurant Guru and DoorDash. We print prices only for Sideshow, and they come from an ordering page that can differ from counter prices. Grill’d’s and McDonald’s hours are the centres’ listings, and Frilled Fresh and PM’s Coffee have no hours we could verify beyond PM’s centre listing. PM’s Coffee is included because of its OpenStreetMap burger tag and its DoorDash burgers category; we print none of its DoorDash prices. Postcodes are from the Australian postcode list.
