Who doesn’t love a burger? The KiA team have slipped on their stretchy pants (ok that was just Tim) and taken to the streets to find the best family burgers. Fair to say our gastro mission uncovered some serious burger gold. Some we always knew were good, some we had to search bloody hard for and some, well we can’t actually tell you about, because burger disappointment is a real thing.
We want fresh buns, tasty flame grilled meats, fancy melted cheeses. We want vego and vegan options, smaller, cheaper options for kids and it’s been a total bonus if we found a bluddy good serve of fries, chips, tots, waffle fries or maybe even a deep fried pickle to accompany.
Black buns, brioche buns, turkish bread buns – it’s all acceptable in our quest for ultimate family burger satisfaction. We even found a burger with steak and prawns in it. Dang, take my money.
Enjoy our find and let us know what you thing when you try out some of these places. We guarantee you one thing – all of these burgers are worth driving for.
Milky Lane
Since we posted about World Burger Day last year, Milky Lane (hello cult following) has entered the Adelaide burger arena and we couldn’t love them more. Not just another burger joint or cocktail bar, but a unique experience that’s colourful, fun and super friendly. The burgers are every bit as good as they look on their popular social media pages and their shakes and cocktails are legendary. Not your traditional burger joint, amazing fun with the kids and you won’t be sorry that you went (or hungry, it is impossible to leave hungry). Check in with their socials for regular promotions and deals – we think the lunch deals are unbelievable value, and this World Burger Day they are slinging $10 burgs. Get around it.
Burger O’Clock
Burger cravings could strike at any moment, and when they do, I am sooo glad I live in the Northern suburbs, right around the corner from Burger O’Clock.
Forget your bottom-of-the-barrel burgers; this neighbourhood spot has been serving up American-style burgers with hand-pressed patties and homemade sauces. Choose from one-, two-, or three-patty options, all loaded with toppings like macaroni and cheese, bacon, jalapeños, fried eggs, and more. Whether you prefer chicken or beef, all their burgers are flavourful and juicy – everything comes together so perfectly. The menu also includes a long list of sides, plus some show-stopping creations. Try their fried chicken while you’re there; you won’t regret it!
I regularly rave about this place to anyone who’ll listen. And I’m not alone, it’s so blooming good!
Order online here or visit them at: 65 Kesters Rd, Para Hills West SA 5096
Diamond Burger
Brilliant burgers with basketball hoops on every table? What a time to be alive! The team at Diamond Burger love their basketball and your kids will love smashing down a delicious burger while shooting some hoops on the mini rings. Watch some games on the big screens and just chill in the comfy booths and soak in the atmosphere, this is a new spot that all burgers lovers need to try!

Burger Incredible
Premium quality burgers at an attractive price is what Burger Incredible promise and they deliver in spades! Funky and comfortable location at Unley, only minutes from the city, with the friendly staff bringing out your meal quickly and perfectly made. For our kids, they couldn’t stop raving about this one with plenty of options on the menu (we went a beef option and a chicken option, both hitting the spot) as well as many non-burger items for anyone not feeling a burger. Big servings, plenty of taste and very well priced. Definitely worth a look for the burger fan.
Burgertec Christies Beach
Love these burgs. Great for bigger kids who like a decent sized burger. $10 kids meals and Tuesday is $5 cheesburger night. KiA Dad Scotty thinks these go alright, and we think he goes alright, so there’s a thing!? Video games for the kids too. Winning at life with a visit here basically. Last thing, it’s not all about the beef, the chicken burger was awesome!
Last thing – be rude of us not to tell you there are further outlets on Grage Road, Paradise & Salisbury too.
Cheeky Chook Eats
Fancy a burger made by one of Adelaide’s top chefs? Cheeky Chook is a sensational burger experience (washing it down with tap beer on site is optional but highly recommended) that will make you want to go back as soon as you possibly can. We strongly suggest the ‘West Fried’ which gives you that ‘food so good it makes you close your eyes’ moments, which you don’t come across too often! The hardest part about writing about this place is wanting to go back. It is that good. Exceptionally note worthy, the kid sized Bettys Jnr Burger and West Fried Jnr Burger.

CnB Chicken and Burgers Rundle Place
Apparently, the world has gone mad for Korean Fried Chicken. A craze I never fully understood until last week when CnB or (Chicken n’ Burgers) officially opened their second Adelaide store and invited us along to sample their mouth-watering menu. It’s pretty safe to say, we’re addicted!
Located in the city’s premier retail centre Rundle Place, this fried chicken specialist is great for both a quick bite to eat with the kids or a flavoursome meal to please your tastebuds.

Commissary
A hugely popular brunch and lunch spot just opposite the parklands on Fullarton Road, you will always see a heap of young families at this place and it is easy to see why….but how is the burger? Fantastic! Tried something a bit different with the slaw and were not disappointed. Served with a side of nice chips which didn’t last long with my 3 tiny seagulls around. If you have enough room left for a dessert after your burger feast (you will….it is a different tank for dessert) then try the Lotus pancakes. Go on. We dare you.

Hammer ‘n’ Tongs
Another new entry, with this country beauty opening at Strath in 2019, making it a great place to stop for lunch while you cruise the hills. The restaurant itself is brilliant with a blacksmith style theme so a burger seemed a fitting choice. A great sized burger with really good chips, again we chose the chicken and we absolutely can’t wait to go back and smash down another.

127 Days Urban Eats
Do not ever try to tell Jacki there is a better burger in Adelaide than here. It’s like telling a Port Supporter that the Adelaide Crows are a credible team this year. We love that from the seventeen or so burgers on their menu, two are exceptional vegetarian options, yet they still note under these two menu items that there is an option to add meat. Worth.The.Drive and Go.The.Sides.

Nordburger
Burgers at Nords will always be a strong showing on any ‘best burger’ list. A huge range of options (plus some ripper sides that the kids will LOVE). It’s one of those burger spots that people will travel a fair way to get too. Going to admit to a controversial opinion here but we feel they have slipped down the rankings in the past few years. Still deserving of a solid holding in the top ten. Find them in Norwood, Hindmarsh, Frewville and Chinatown.

Our team at Kids in Adelaide are passionate about World Donut Day. Nobody hates a donut (especially not kids, or Tim). Possibly the most important food in our South Australian economy, demonstrated regularly when referencing any country town by the quality of the bakery before anything else. Also every bakery lives or dies by its donuts. Case closed. Donuts are King. SO, the first Friday in June is International Donut Day (or doughnut for the purists). Falling slightly behind Christmas and miles ahead of Valentines Day as THE most important holiday of the calendar year, this is a great occasion to celebrate our favourite food and to also give praise to the fabulous makers of these delicious round delights....the bakeries. Our team of Adelaide kids (ahem and Tim) have again done the miles last month, eaten the good, the better and the best that we can find this year, so save this post, refer back to it on your weekend drives or prior your playground dates and birthday parties! We are pretty pumped to have significantly changed our lineup this year, including sourdough options, vegan options, gluten free options and even a donut option for your dog! Not kidding. Feel…

However at Kids in Adelaide, we’ve embarked on a mission to uncover the city’s best sushi spots that cater specifically to kids (and their discerning taste buds).

Let's talk about Adelaide's best pizza. We really have lifted the pizza benchmark over the past decade and kids *generally* love a slice of the good stuff don't they? It's quick, filling and often one of the more affordable take away options. Let's not forget cold left over pizza makes a brilliant school lunch box treat and you know the easiest way to feed friends, teenagers or energetic kids at a birthday party..... you guessed it, PIZZA! Pizza can be as sophisticated or as simple as the setting dictates, from fine dining through to sitting on the lounge watching trashy reality TV with a cardboard box on your lap. From eat in urban industrial warehouse venues to hole in the wall pick ups. It really is the perfect food. But where to find the best of the best, those pizza places you hear about from a friend of a friend, the pizza of legends! Well never fear, we have scoured the state to find some of the best pizza in South Australia. From franchise favourites through to traditional Italian fare, pizza lovers this is the post for you!
