PHAT Buns offers the ultimate “smash” burger experience.
We are a unique and independent quick service brand offering an ultimate range of burgers, shakes, wings and hot dogs, with our signature dish being our “smash” burgers. Everything is made fresh to order and perfection, creating distinctive and indulgent taste experiences.
We are a fast-casual operation with dine in and takeaway options.
Our interiors are vibrant, colourful and exciting; the orange and black branded colour scheme and distinctive lighting adds a trendy cutting-edge ambience. Our stores have become the place to visit at all times of the day and for all age groups.
Our recipes
Secret family recipes are the stuff of legends and PHAT Buns burger blend is no exception. Our delicious meat is a unique combination of freshly ground beef blended with a minimalistic approach. The flavour of the smash patty is further enhanced with our proprietary seasoning at point of order and then cooked on the unique-coated flat griddle.
The blended beef adds a unique, unforgettable ‘melt-in-your-mouth’ experience not to mention the Phat must-have sauce.
