Mister Gee Burger Truck

Love this place. Hard to find parking, long line. But worth while. Wish there were more place to sit though. Hopefully they’ll open a restaurant instead haha. One day fingers crossed

I was a little disappointed with the burger! Wasn’t as good as all the hype! There wasn’t much flavour to it and the bread wasn’t soft but kind of flakey. The meat was cooked well a little pink inside but the toppings inside didn’t really add much to the burger and the sauce was very minimal. The truffle fries were nice (the fries are like maccas chips). The truffle mayo was the star of the whole experience. In terms of the menu they offered 3 items. 1. Burger for $ 10 2. Chips for $ 5 and 3. A drink/​milkshake for $ 6. These items change weekly on the menu to keep things interesting. Who knows maybe if I go next time I will have better luck with my burger. I’ve definitely had nicer burgers around Sydney.

Personally not a big fan of burgers but Mister Gee is really good!

I’ll get this out of the way… I hate, HATE brioche buns for burgers. Who’s the smartass that thought this was a great idea? Let’s put something fatty and heavy… on something else that’s fatty and heavy but super sweet which overpowers the burger. Anyways if you like brioche bun burgers more power to you… but I hate them.
That being said, Mister Gee’s burgers work well with their buns and don’t overwhelm the burger itself, so good on them for that.
By the way if you didn’t know, Mister Gee’s only showcases one burger each week out of their 4 burgers: The Truffe, Fatboy, Cheese Boogie, and Chicken.
Rocked up on a Thursday and the line was already 30 deep around 645pm, so the wait was roughly half an hour. Not a fan of queues, but they’re there for a reason. This week was the Truffe Burger, and I naturally had to order a double. This burger is supposedly the favourite one among the staff, so I had expectations but I tempered them too. The dirty fries were also on showcase, so had to order those as well. The dirty fries were decent, but whoever made them didn’t salt them properly as the salt was distributed unevenly… mega salty in the middle and barely salted on the edges. Not sure I’d order these again unless they fixed that up.
The Truffe was pretty good… I wasn’t expecting it to be, but I had no qualms with this burger, especially at $ 13 for a double. The truffle oil with the mayo and cheese went well with the grass fed Tasmanian beef patty. Did I enjoy this burger more than the Bronx at Five Points? Yes I did… I’m definitely keen to try the Cheese Boogie and Fat Boy now. My only gripe (besides the fries) is that this place isn’t the most accessible if you live by the CBD, but if you live by inner west you should by all means go.

This food truck is gaining some momentum in the past few weeks. Just had to try them out.
CHEESE BOOGIE BURGER $ 10
At 7pm, all the seats were taken, so I took the take-​away option to Westfield around the block. The waiting time is pretty long as well — 25min. No time for money shot photos I was way too hungry by then, in a way it’s better to appreciate that it’s just a simple burger. The foil sleeve is very clever and allows the customers to eat on the go without making a mess. Mister Gee used fresh and soft brioche-​type bun and in the middle a thick patty (thicker than usual) cooked from medium to medium-​rare. That brings up my first snag: one side of the patty was more cooked that the other, as you can imagine the less cooked side tasted like heaven. I started from more cooked saying yeah the flavours taste alright, when at the second half, I was like wow this is getting better. This particular burger is clearly one of their most classic combinations using cheese, caramelised onions, pickle and sauce. It was a good burger however it could be improved. Their other burgers do look more appetising like the Fat Boy or The Truffe coming up.
TRUFFLE FRIES $ 5
On the other hand, these French fries were quite the opposite. Nothing needed improvement about these perfectly cooked fries, seasoned just right and the sauce was amazing with a subtle truffle oil flavour coming through. Definitely moreish and indulgent. The perfect comfort/​cheat meal.
Too bad the Baklava shake was not available on the day :(
Conclusion
This particular Cheese Boogie burger had the classic combinations of cheese, onion, pickle which isn’t bad. I just feel that this wasn’t their best signature burger. The execution has some small issues like uneven cooking and long waiting times. Nevertheless for that half-​burger that was cooked nicely, it was heaven and the truffle fries were exceptional. It is a novel experience to sit on the street or eat in your car, so this experience isn’t for everyone. I would still try them again for their shakes and curious about their other burgers.

So far, the Mister Gee’s burger truck has been tucked away in a car wash behind the Burwood Westfield. It is quite simply good food mixed with an element of surprise. Mister Gee confirms their location, opening time, and the one burger they’ll serve for the week, sporadically on their Facebook page, and are only open Thursday to Saturday (for now).
I have had the good fortune of tasting their Truffle burger yesterday, and it is one of my top beef burgers. With meunster cheese, rocket, drizzled with truffle mayo — This burger definitely knows how to look after you. Their chicken burger on the other hand, was tasty but forgettable — don’t get me wrong though, it was still very good.
Order up with the dirty fries and you’re set to be satisfied.
