Correction (5 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 5 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
A good burger list is a list of builds. This one can’t be. We could not read a burger build or a burger price at any of the three places below.
Three places in Mernda made the cut: a burger shop, a pub and a fish and chip shop. Burger Road’s halal menu PDF is image-only. The Bridge Inn Hotel’s main menu is a scanned-image PDF. Theo’s menu sits behind a JavaScript ordering page. So this page is a map of where to ask, not a ranking.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A dedicated burger shop, halal at this store | Burger Road | see below | not printed here |
| A pub that lists burgers among its mains | Bridge Inn Hotel | see below | not printed here |
| A fish and chip shop; ask about burgers | Theo’s Fish & Chips | see below | not printed here |
Burger Road — 9, 180 Riverdale Boulevard, Mernda VIC 3754
Burger Road’s site lists the Mernda store at 9, 180 Riverdale Boulevard (the site spells it Boulevarde). Its hours are Sunday - Thursday: 11am - 9pm and Friday - Saturday: 11am - 10pm. The Mernda Town Centre store list prints the same hours.
The site says its “Keilor Downs, Tarneit, Craigieburn and Mernda stores are completely halal with no pork options.” Its FAQ also mentions a Gluten-Free bun, vegan options in-store and bookings. Those FAQ lines are chain-wide, so ring the Mernda store before you count on them.
The build: Not readable. The halal menu PDF we opened is image-only, with no text, so we cannot give you a patty count, a sauce or a price.
Bridge Inn Hotel — 1425 Plenty Road, Mernda VIC 3754
The Bridge Inn Hotel’s site lists burgers alongside steaks, salads and “a variety of beloved pub classics”. That is the pub’s description. We could not read the main menu, so we cannot say what is in any burger.
The site’s general opening hours are Sun - Wed: 10:00am - 1:00am and Thu - Sat: 10:00am - 3:00am. Those are general hours, not kitchen hours. The site also says its Chicken Parma won Parma of the Year at the Australian Hotels Association’s 2023 Awards for Excellence. That is a parma, not a burger. Still worth knowing if the table splits.
Order: Ask which burgers are on the main menu, and what time the kitchen closes.
Theo’s Fish & Chips — 2/40 Breadalbane Avenue, Mernda VIC 3754
AGFG lists Theo’s with Takeaway, Halal Options, Vegetarian Options and Seafood tags. It also quotes “Theo’s Family Pack: four pieces of flake, four potato cakes, four dim sims, large chips and a bottle of soft drink.” We did not record a burger in the AGFG text. The shop’s own ordering site is JavaScript only, so we could not read its menu there.
AGFG lists Monday 12:00 PM - 8:00 PM, closed Tuesday, and 12:00 PM - 8:00 PM on every other day. AGFG is the only hours source we have for Theo’s.
Order: Ask whether a burger is on the board. If not, the family pack above is the listed feed.
Quick answers
Where can you get a burger in Mernda?
Burger Road is the burger shop, and the Bridge Inn Hotel’s site lists burgers on its pub menu. Theo’s Fish & Chips is a fish and chip shop, and we did not record a burger there. We could not read a burger menu with prices at any of the three.
Is Burger Road halal in Mernda?
Its site says “our Keilor Downs, Tarneit, Craigieburn and Mernda stores are completely halal with no pork options.” That line names the Mernda store.
Does Burger Road take bookings?
Its FAQ says “Yes, we take bookings.” That FAQ line is chain-wide, so call the Mernda store to confirm for your night.
