The first couple times I was intoxicated by the combination of wonderful food, good drinks, great music and nostalgia for the underground bar scene in New York - this place just felt like home and I rated them a 5. Some of the best burgers and the second best fries I've eaten in Brisbane were served up at Greaser, but occasionally I'd experience a sub-par meal. Sub-par when you are expecting a 5, doesn't mean bad, but after a few of these experiences I edited my review and downgraded Greaser from a 5 to a 4.5. I've been to Greaser twice in the past fortnight and have come to accept the reality that they no longer serve Brisbane's best burger. When they are on, they are definitely one of the best, but their consistency just isn't there. Could this have anything to do with the rise of UberEATS and other delivery services? Higher volumes and less quality control? The portions have also gotten smaller. At present, Greaser serves up a very good burger and tasty fries. My wife still loves the double smoked dog with cheese-floss and the many varieties of beer and cider on tap and on offer. Live music and a great vibe help to keep their rating high, but the overall rating has been reassessed at a 4. On my most recent visit I caught up with some fellow reviewers (MB, Mandy Bernadette and Rebecca) and got beaten soundly in a burger eating competition. I dispatched the mortals easily, but the first and second place finishers beat me by more than a minute and were quite something to watch. More volume of food and I like my odds a whole lot better as I'm not really a sprinter - the whole pizza I ate an hour earlier probably didn't help. ***** July 2016 Dropped rating from 5 to 4.5 following two sub-par burgers, but still the best burger in Brisbane. ***** March 2015 - rated 5 Best Burgers in Brisbane. I've been to Greaser a few times now and I love it. The cheeseburgers are the best in Brisbane and my wife swears by the hot dog. Fresh pressed granny smith apples and whiskey make for an interesting and refreshing treat. We've introduced quite a few of our friends to Greaser and it even gets the approval from vegetarians for the Portobello mushroom burger.

While the other half got ready to complete the Burger Challenge, I ordered dinner. After much deliberation, I finally decided on the Chicken burger. Buttermilk fried chicken with tomato, lettuce, avocado and chipotle sauce on a bun. I'll insert here that my expectations were incredibly high. I have heard nothing but amazing things about Greaser and their burgers. Sadly, I was a little underwhelmed. The chicken wasn't consistent in size so one part was dry and crispy and the other end beautifully moist but a little wet on the crumb. I was expecting a sharp and noticeable crunch but it sadly alluded me. The chips were warm, not hot, when they came out. I was a little confused eating them - some chips were soft and soggy, some tasted undercooked. I was so jealous of the boys doing the burger challenge - their burgers looked epic! Tonight, I'm going to put my underwhelming burger down to the fact that there was a challenge happening (2 rounds) so the kitchen would have been busy. I love the vibe and feel of the place, so chilled and hipster. We had great company tonight too I will add - thank you Rebecca and Meatballs And Beef Cheeks for such a fun evening! Would I try Greaser again? Definitely! I hear their Greaser burger is the bees knees!

It 's a hidden labyrinth, seemingly in a loading dock. I really like the adventure of finding it, the slight feeling of unease you get when you 're not sure if you 're in the right place. Bar itself is cosy with knowledgeable bar staff , great cocktails... the amazing 'pickleback '.. shot of Jameson shot of pickle brine. My new favourite drink.<br/ ... the food was pretty decent as well.<br/ I ate a Portobello mushroom burger with chilli fries which I enjoyed. The rest of our group all raved about their food.<br/ The Brisbane food scene gets more interesting daily. It 's exciting to participate.<br/
