Jimmy’s Burger Bar
Okay so you’ve worked hard all day and finally managed to escape the clutches of the daily grind, it’s time to gather the pack and get stuck in at Jimmy’s Burger Bar. Not your average burger palace, the dining area is filled with funky surroundings and kooky graffiti-style designs all over the walls which make this a really fascinating place to eat in.
Jimmy’s Burger Bar allows you to choose between a range of beef burgers, chicken burgers, healthy wraps, rolls and even vegetarian options. While there is a versatile menu selection available at this burger paradise, you haven’t truly experienced Jimmy’s Burger Bar until you’ve tasted the beef deluxe burger with beef, cheese, double bacon, barbeque sauce, beetroot, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo; couple this with some sweet potato fries drenched in aioli sauce and you’ve got yourself a group of slow-moving yet satisfied mates ready to roll a few strikes at Northern Bowl.
