Homemade Buns and Juicy Burgers 🍔❤️

28/09/2026

Fast food spent years convincing everyone a burger should be cheap, flat and vaguely depressing 😂

We went the other way.

Proper beef. Proper buns. Proper burgers.

Hawthorn. The Resistance.

Apparently burgers are now meant to be thin, sad, wrapped in paper and handed through a window in 90 seconds 😂

Yeah… we’ll pass.

Proper beef. Proper buns. Proper burgers made like someone actually gives a s**t.

If you’re in Hawthorn, skip the drive-thru and come eat the real thing.

Grand Final day. Melbourne rain. Nashville Hot Bird weather.

Crispy fried chicken, Nashville spice, pickles, slaw and that proper hit of heat.

Dine in, grab takeaway or get it delivered in Hawthorn.

🌶️Not here to make friends. Here to make your forehead sweat.

Double Agent. Two beef patties, double cheese. Because apparently, one burger wasn’t enough to deal with your problems. 🍔

Last Day 🥺 Chicken Parm - Limited Edition Burger 🍔

Final day of the Chicken Parm in Hawthorn.
Grab one before it’s gone.

Eleven years of making burgers, and we’re still finding ways to make you come back for another.

Good food. Proper drinks. No shortcuts.
The Resistance. Hawthorn, Melbourne.

Last Week. Don’t walk. Run 🙂🍔❤️

18/09/2026

Warm weather finally showed up, so we made something for it.

Chicken Parm + the Southside 26. Crispy chicken, stracciatella, basil, Grana — with a cold, sharp cocktail on the side.

Only at The Resistance, Hawthorn.

Last Week for Chicken Parm 🙂

The secret behind the Pollo Escobar? Resistance Sauce.

Nearly two years of testing went into creating a burger sauce we actually thought was worth remembering. Still one of the flavours that defines us today.

Our most popular burger of the year is leaving. Brilliant business decision, apparently.

Final few days of the Chicken Parm in Hawthorn. Grab one before it’s gone.

13/09/2026

We’re running out of excuses to keep this one.

Panko chicken, rich tomato, stracciatella, basil, Grana and lemon aioli.

Last few days only. Get to Hawthorn before “limited edition” starts meaning absolutely nothing.

Chicken Parm is back today in very limited numbers.

Crispy chicken. Rich tomato. Stracciatella. Basil. Grana. Lemon aioli.

First in, best fed.

Okay… you lot need to calm down. 😂😂
Chicken Parm has been flying out the door. But that’s a problem we love to have 😂

Crispy chicken. Rich tomato. Stracciatella. Basil. Grana Padano. Lemon zest aioli.

Chicken Parm. Limited drop.

Almost 10 years on the menu and apparently we still can’t leave it alone.

Beef. Double cheese. Chilli relish mayo. Fermented onion + chilli salsa. Citrus shallot crumb.

Basically the old Chilli Cheese Burger after a very unnecessary glow-up.

Now it needs a name.

Drop yours below. If we use it, the first burger’s on us.
