Fancy Burger - Blackwood

I am loving these new 'healthier fast food' places.  Fancy burger provides a quick meal with quality ingredients.

Although marketed as a fresh and healthier way to eat (the burger rolls are wholemeal ect.) you will often find yourself rolling out of the front door due to the fact you always find the need to have one more bite.

Fancy burger does not try and overstate itself, the atmosphere is that of a fast food joint albeit a classy(er) one.  The music may be too loud for some and there is no area to comfortably sit for a long meal and a conversation, but for $11 dollars a burger with quality ingredients you don't need anything more.

The quick eateries and food trucks that are popping up, and are something that restaurants should be sitting up and taking notice of.

Often at a cheaper price for less atmosphere these little businesses are doing high quality meals that some restaurants are charging $26 for (see, Tranquilo - Stirling bellow).



The question that arises from this, is how much would you pay for atmosphere.  Although Fancy Burger has a young, fresh vibe about it, and it does sell some fantastic South Australian boutique beers, you wouldn't spend two hours sitting with your friends catching up on the weeks adventures or take someone who had just flown in to show off Adelaide.  However, if ordering a burger or steak sandwich at an overpriced restaurant or Fancy Burger were the choices offered, I would recommend the Fancy's.
