Burger Stop at the Dandenong Pavilion attracting foodies from all over Melbourne

A humble late-night burger bar in Dandenong has become a foodie hotspot, with hungry hordes travelling from as far as Geelong to get a feed. And the burgers — which draw inspiration from famous fast food chains — aren’t just for meat eaters.

An idea for a late-night burger bar three years ago has grown into an incredible business success, with people travelling from all over Melbourne to get a feed.

Burger Stop – an add-on to the Dandenong Pavilion – opens at 9.30pm and has become a foodie hotspot for the hungry hordes who fancy a late feed.

Venue Manager Kevin Pham said the burger bar, which was its own separate eatery attached to the popular Pavilion, owned by Joel Maroun, offered gourmet burgers, fries and dessert.

Mr Pham said diners were travelling far and wide — even from Geelong — to grab a late night feast.

“Our burgers are cooked with quality beef and made by the chefs from our restaurant’s kitchen – people keep coming back because they’re so filling and fresh,” he said.

“The McDowell is our most popular burger – it has two Australian beef patties, melted double cheddar, Swiss cheese, lettuce and special sauce in a white bun.”

He said the burger bar also offered vegetarian, vegan options.

“Any burger on the menu can be made vegan or vegetarian.

“We also have churros and waffle sticks for dessert and other options being added to the menu soon.”

Mr Pham said the bar had become so popular as it offered a unique edgy vibe for patrons.

“We have fairy lights and when sports are on such the EPL we put it on for our customers on the projector.

“It’s always a great vibe and atmosphere. We invite people to come down and try our burgers – they won’t be disappointed.”

Burger Stop is open from Wednesday-Sunday from 9:30pm-late.
