Mr Burger & Fish– Indooroopilly

Peak hour traf­fic is a killer. It’s tir­ing and frus­trat­ing to say the least. How­ever, being the opti­mist that I am, I some­times like to think of the stand­still traf­fic as an oppor­tu­nity to be aware and notice one’s sur­round­ings. You never know, you might find a hid­den gem!

One morn­ing as I plod­ded along Indooroopilly’s peak-hour Mog­gill road, I noticed the bright new orange sig­nage for the recently opened “Mr Burger & Fish”: a fish, chips and take-away joint with a twist!

Soon after, the Bris­bane Bites team checked it out and got to infor­mally inter­view owner/chef Mr Matt Kim (for­merly of Decks Seafood Restau­rant, South Bank) which gave insight into what made his store dif­fer­ent from the others.

The main dif­fer­ence is in the menu. Com­pris­ing tra­di­tional fish and chips items, Mr Burger & Fish also cap­i­tal­izes on Mr Kim’s chef back­ground in restau­rants and hotels to extent the menu to include fresh egg pasta dishes, burg­ers and and a rotat­ing fea­ture menu. The fea­ture item for the months of May and June 2012 is the Asian stir-fry noodles.

Mr Burger & Fish is located on a strip of stores with park­ing in front of the store (only acces­si­ble when dri­ving on Mog­gill road going out­bound to Ken­more). Despite being on a major road, the night time ambiance is not too bad and the out­door din­ing option was appre­ci­ated. They even had cute umbrel­las and lit­tle plants to go on the tables!

Inside, there is an almost odd com­bi­na­tion of bright orange paint job, tex­tured fix­tures and Astro­Turf, but at least it is unique and homely looking!

What we had

Spaghetti Bolog­nese — $9.90

It was amaz­ing. There was a beau­ti­ful rich tomato base with plenty of minced beef and not too many onions (which over­runs cheap take-away meals usu­ally). They used fresh egg pasta and you can tell. It was gar­nished with parme­san cheese and pars­ley. The amaz­ing thing about it was that the taste was on par if not bet­ter than the Ital­ian restau­rants I have been to recently. Not only that, but it was $9.90!

Spaghetti Car­bonara — $9.90

Rich and creamy sauce of bacon, mush­room, onion, gar­lic with fresh egg pasta. Very, Very impres­sive for a take-away and for the price! Din­ing in-store, the pre­sen­ta­tion was pleas­ing too.

Mr Small pack — $15.90

1 crumbed fish, 4 cala­mari rings, 2 whit­ing fish pieces, 2 potato scal­lops, large chips, lemon slices and sauces (aioli and may­on­naise)

Extremely good value. The fish was fresh (not fishy) and there was plenty of vari­ety in the pack. This dish is prob­a­bly intended for two diners.

Mr. Amer­i­can Hot Dog

Crumbed, fried sausage, caramelized onion, grilled mixed cab­bage, backed beans and but­tered sweet corn.

The dish was well pre­sented and the top­pings are not the aver­age hot dog fill­ings, but worked well none-the-less, with a nice array of colours and tex­tures in a bite. The only neg­a­tive point was that the bun was cut all the way through, so the sausage could eas­ily fall out if you picked it up. But this was eas­ily reme­died by eat­ing with knife and fork.

What we thought

Mr Burger & Fish is out­stand­ing value and sur­pris­ingly good qual­ity. The fish is fresh, the chips are crunchy and the pas­tas are def­i­nitely restau­rant qual­ity. The ser­vice is friendly and effi­cient and the staff go out of their way to make you feel wel­come and appre­ci­ated as a customer.
