They’re one of the originals and they own taste. They’ve been in the game for decades and their burgers are so meticulously refined, that once you’ve eaten one you’ll question how you missed out on such well crafted patty for so long.

American style burgers that are extraordinarily simple. The same combo is repeated with a few extras added for those who like their burgers with all the trimmings. Our pick? The Chicken Burger. Crispy fried chicken, slaw, pickles, tomato, cheese and chipotle. Throw some onion rings on the side for a little extra somethin’ somethin’. The 4.4 star Google rating ain’t wrong, Parlour Diner is damn satisfying.
