Short Version: Burger Project's 'The Bacon Project' was a good burger - good meat, cheese and bun - but there wasn't a lot of bacon and I didn't care for the chili 'secret sauce' or the pickles (mushy and bland) - this rated 3-3.5. Good chips with lots of Heinz Ketchup (3.5). Didn't care for the layout and having to fight through the queue to retrieve my food and again to get back to my table. I will definitely return as Burger Project is located in very close proximity to my office, but next time I will request no 'secret sauce'.
Full Review: I missed Burger Project's opening and then the mediocre reviews inspired me to wait a couple weeks to see if they would work out the kinks. I...
On my own to see Icehouse play at the Exhibition & Convention Centre, I decided it was the perfect time to try out the newly opened Burger Project in Brisbane. Hidden up the new the eastern part of Grey Street, surrounded by construction is a new food precinct area.
Upon turning the corner, the place was super busy with lots of tables inside and out, but the queue to order was long and I started to feel concerned, that I had not left enough time to eat before the concert.
Thinking this whole process was going to take forever, I was pleasantly surprised the line moved reasonably fast with enough time to peruse the menuboard, and make a decision.

Definitely a lot of hype surrounding this place so expectations were high. The burgers we had were good but not the best Brisbane has to offer. The thick shakes were amazing though. Very thick and not overly sweet. The chips were ok but the seasoning just had something I didn't quite like, not sure if it was too much paprika or some other type of spice. The chipotle mayo was flavourless and tasted like plain sour cream with a tiny sprinkle of chipotle salt which is a shame because I love a good sauce, specially when I'm paying for it! Not sure if I'll come back to give it a second chance...
Long time readers of my blog will know that I have a sort of love hate relationship with newly opened restaurants. On one hand, I love going to satisfying my curiosity, but on the other hand, quite a few problems occur on the first day, that are eventually sorted out after running the restaurant for a few more days. However, when I heard that Neil Perry's largely popular Burger Project was coming to Brisbane, I had very little hesitation in trying it out on the first day.

Ready...set...disappointed. Came here and had high hopes for this place. Unfortunately it was a disappointment. The burgers did not taste great and the ratios of protein, salad and bun were not right. I had the chicken katsu burger. The chicken was cooked well but that was the only thing done well. The staff were nice but did not appear to be well trained in the systems nor customer service. Probably won't come back as there are definitely better burger places to go to in Brisbane.
Burger project: B+. The katsu burger consisted of crispy and succulent chicken fillet, whilst the beef patties were juicy and moist. However the burgers needed more sauce which is important in tying all the components together. Ordered thick shakes which were hard to drink with paper straws. Chips were crispy and delicious!

Talk about overrated and bland! Burgers were $10 each, tiny in size and lacked any special flavours or sauces. Got the Sichuan pepper hot chips which were over salted and then over peppered, talk about imbalance in flavours. The Sichuan flavouring is not pleasant, almost sour and pungent. Service was fast and decent though.
A bit disappointed. With all the great burger places in Brisbane not only is Burger Project late to the scene it was just a bit ordinary and due to its location it will be interesting to see how it goes
