I don’t often leave reviews but I felt compelled to leave one for this experience I had today! I didn’t even know third wave did fresh made to order food, but I definitely found out today! The beef burger I ordered was such a pleasant surprise! Firstly, opening the packaging the burger looked like the pictures! Everyone knows what I’m talking about! The burger actually looked like the advertisement picture, straight away you know there is some love put into it. From the first bite I was hooked! Embarrassingly it took me about 5 bites to finish it. It was hands down one of the best burgers I have had in years! So well balanced, beautifully cooked and so so tasty! Well done guys! I will be back there every day I’m out catching some waves Well done and keep it up!

They know what I seek and find the moment I rock up on my bike from far away digs! Fastest service I have ever experienced anywhere, and top notch brew to boot.
