Interesting late night food joint at north east edge of the CBD. The burger is good if you like a semi thick juicy meaty burger with a toasted bun. If you really want the best of these kinds of burgers late night Gimlet trumps this (and every burger of this type in Melbourne including Charrd), but at $20 for a cheeseburger at Butchers Diner it’s not bad. Beats most standard pub burger options. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff so probably will go back to try more of the menu.

The food was so good that I didn’t even get a chance to take photos.
Loved the freshness of the sandwich I had — filling, delicious, and great value for money.
Highly recommended.

tl, dr.: No frills, tiny hole in the wall, 24 hr place for people who love red meat
The menu is small, but their main draw is their aged steaks, which if it's your thing (some ppl don't like it) it's certainly worth visiting. It's served simply but excellently, with just mustard, horseradish and chips. I tried the blood sausage, which was great; it's so difficult trying to get decent ones here in Brisbane! My only quibble is that it was served on a cheap tasting white bun with curried egg, which I detest, but that's a me thing and doesn't detract from the excellent blood sausage.
There are also interesting cocktails (the beef fat whiskey shot was delicious 😋) and rotating daily specials, so if beef is your thing (they also do chicken as well though), absolutely visit

Enjoyed the experience here. Coeliac safe gluten free options, as long as you don’t have any of the gf bread options. Very fresh tasty Greek salad, lovely chips, friendly staff and fun atmosphere. Generous portions for a very reasonable price. Recommend.

This was my son’s recommendation, after I told him there was nowhere good to eat lunch in the city and that I was heading to Fitzroy for a burger.
What a great diner, and what a great recommendation! This simple, clean and vibrant diner brings quick and efficient service, a great menu and fantastic food.
I had the simplest item on the menu, the hamburger (no risks taken here). It was one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. Cooked perfectly, full of flavour and with an excellent bun. Every bite was a joy.
Mostly shred counter seating inside, but well suited to the venue. Plenty of outdoor dining on the picturesque’Paris’ end of Bourke St.
well worth a visit.
