5. Ze Pickle, Fortitude Valley
1 Prospect St, Fortitude Valley
First coming to popularity with their Burleigh Heads outlet, this eatery pays homage to the classic American takeaway, while being unafraid to experiment.

4. Getta Burger, Carina
1396 Creek Rd, Carina
When size matters, turn to the American-inspired Getta Burger. With outlets now across Brisbane, the original Carina venue is still the favourite, adored for its monstrous bun creations that promise more fillings than a dental surgery. Expect the likes of the Getta Lot with a beef patty, bacon, double cheese, grilled onions, tomato, lettuce on a milk bun, alongside pulled pork and beef brisket burgers, plus chicken, vego and vegan options.
