The first burger on this list is the award-winning hamburger with the lot from Melissa’s Take Away. Sometimes affectionately referred to as the ‘Godzilla burger’ for its huge size, this burger is packed full of flavour and fresh ingredients. In this treat you’ll find a 220-gram beef patty (homemade of course!), juicy bacon, fried egg, cheese, grilled onion and topped with fresh lettuce, tomato and beetroot. Treat yourself to a side of chips and this is a meal made in heaven.
Melissa’s Take Away also serves up a huge range of other homemade food, including fresh beef pies, sausage rolls and massive breakfasts. Pop in for a feed at any time of the day and be treated to incredible food of colossal sizes by the friendly team at Melissa’s Take Away. If you can fit it in, try one of their fresh coffees as well!

The sheer number of people who rave about the chicken burgers at The Chook Shed should be enough to convince you to try a bite for yourself. At the top of these recommendations is the chicken fillet burger – freshly cooked chicken breast, avocado, pineapple, cheese, lettuce, tomato and topped with mayo on a soft bun. Combined, these ingredients create one of the best bites to eat in Darwin.
The Chook Shed also serves up other delicious stacks including a beef, steak, lamb and fish burger. If you want to stick to chicken, try the chicken BLT (a chicken burger with bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo), or try the veggie burger if you’re steering clear of meat. No matter what stack you choose from The Chook Shed, you know it’ll be delicious!
