MELBOURNE | When Raph Rashid opened the Beatbox Kitchen in 2009 it was one of Melbourne’s first food trucks, and one of the first places in town doing US-style burgers. The ‘burger trend’ has seen hundreds of US-style burger spots open around town, but the OG ‘Raph Burger’ remains one of our favourites.
In 2017 Rashid opened his first bricks and mortar Beatbox Kitchen (a second opened in Fitzroy in 2018). It’s here you can find not just the classic burgers from the truck menu, but a few store-only creations too.
There’s the signature Raph Burger, with a 155g beef patty, lettuce, onion, tomato, gouda cheese & ‘stereo sauce’, along with the jalapeno laden Chilly Billy, and the vegetarian Shroom Burger. In addition there’s three cheeseburgers, a vegan burger, a chicken sandwich, an eggplant sandwich, and two noodle bowls. Bread is baked fresh daily up the road at Raph’s other venue, Juanita Peaches.
For sides it’s fries, potato cakes and steamed, salted green beans. For drinks it’s shakes, floats and soda.
The space is simple, long and narrow, with the front kitchen and counter opening up to a pastel coloured area with booths, seats and tables, and a table tennis table. Food trucks are fun, but it’s great to have a permanent spot to grab a Beatbox Kitchen burger whenever the urge hits.
