About Huxtaburger
Huxtaburger opened in Collingwood, an inner-north Melbourne suburb, in late 2011, as a deliberately quirky spin-off from Huxtable, a restaurant nearby that held a chef’s hat in the Good Food Guide. A short menu of American-style burgers, chips and shakes turned it into one of the city’s cult burger spots.
Restaurants in Melbourne and other Australian cities, many of them franchised.
