Pattysmiths Manuka absolutely smashed it. I got the Spicy Stack and wings and both were incredible. The burger was juicy, packed with flavour, and had the perfect level of heat—not overpowering but definitely satisfying. The wings were crispy and cooked perfectly, easily some of the best I’ve had in Canberra. Fast service, great vibes, and food that actually lives up to the hype. Will 100% be back.

This place is absolutely amazing, the customer service was on point, as I was served by a very good worker jiwan. At first I was unsure to eat here as of the mass amount of one star reviews, but after coming in and eating, I can guarantee that those people writing those one star reviews are insane and have 0 idea what they are talking about. The chicken was good quality, alongside the beef being A5 wagyu which was quite a nice surprise considering the reviews say otherwise. Will visit again and advise anyone to also do so!!

I enjoyed my food very much from this restaurant, I came here and was greeted by a young boy who was very polite and took my order for my family. He kept checking on us and made sure that we had everything that we need. The atmosphere of the store was very nice with these lights hanging directly over us. The food didnt take very long, only around 5-10 minutes but the quality of the food was exceptional and I will definitely be bringing back my family here. The noise level of the restaurant was good with only minor noise coming from the kitchen. I spent around 60$ at the store and bought my family all spicy stacks which were cooked to perfection, and the meat was so juicy, the server did inform us that all the beef patties here were A3 waygu. The quality of the ingredients felt fresh and I recommend that you come eat here.

Amazing experience at Patty Smiths! The food was unreal—especially the Golden Cheese burger and the boneless thighs, which were perfectly cooked and full of flavour. The staff were just as great: friendly, attentive, and made the whole visit feel welcoming. Can’t fault it, will definitely be back!

Ordered the OG burger, the beetroot was mainly what made me want to order it but after I took one bite it made me feel like every other burger I’ve had was shit compared to this. It was surprisingly fast which was was unexpected maybe around2-3 minutes. Some young bloke took my order and was nice and had decent sales skills asking me for any additions but I thought the store felt underwhelming so I got only the burger and left to my car. Recommend have the OG burger.
