Betty's Burgers
Gold Coast burger chain with fresh ingredients and concrete desserts. Beach-inspired casual dining with quality beef and chicken burgers.
Betty's Burgers is a Queensland-born burger chain that has grown from a single Gold Coast location into one of Australia's most recognisable casual dining brands, with outlets in every major city and coastal destination across the country. The concept draws its identity from American diners of the 1950s and 1960s — sun-bleached beach aesthetics, neon signage, counter seating, and a menu built around a small, focused selection of burgers, fries, and frozen custard desserts.
The Classic Betty is the menu's anchor: a beef patty with American cheese, pickles, mustard, and mayonnaise on a soft potato bun, priced accessibly at around AUD $14. The formula is deliberately unfussy — quality beef ground to a specific fat ratio, fresh ingredients, and a bun that holds together throughout the meal. Chicken burgers, a crispy fish option, and a vegetarian patty round out the savoury menu without straying far from the core proposition. The Concrete — a thick frozen custard blended with mix-ins such as Oreo, Reese's pieces, or salted caramel — has developed its own following and is frequently cited as one of the better fast-casual desserts in Australia.
The dining experience across locations is consistent: open kitchens, quick service, and interiors that maintain the retro coastal aesthetic regardless of whether the outlet sits on the Gold Coast beachfront or in a Melbourne shopping precinct. The chain targets families, beachgoers, and anyone seeking a reliable, good-value meal without sacrificing quality for speed. Noise levels are high and tables turn over quickly, making it better suited to a casual meal than a leisurely sit-down.
Locations across Australia vary in seating capacity, with larger freestanding restaurants offering outdoor tables in addition to the counter seating. Walk-ins are accommodated at all locations without reservations.

- Locations near beaches fill up quickly on summer weekends; arriving before midday or after the lunch rush avoids the longest queues.
- The Classic Betty is the most consistent item across all locations and the best starting point for first-time visitors.
- Ask for a double patty upgrade on the Classic Betty — the cost increase is modest and significantly improves the burger-to-bun ratio.
