Flames Burgers & Grill (Roselea Shopping Centre)

Flames Burgers & Grill is a casual American-style burger joint inside Roselea Shopping Centre at 732 Karrinyup Road, Balcatta, known for flame-grilled burgers, ribs, wings and over-the-top milkshakes. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor patio, which makes it a workable family meal stop with the lead in hand.

The dog setup

Dogs are allowed in the outdoor patio area, leashed and under control, with a relaxed, informal feel. Keep in mind the patio shares its edge with shopping-centre foot traffic, so a dog that copes with people passing works best here. Bring a water bowl as one is not guaranteed, and call ahead if you want to confirm the current dog policy, as venue rules can shift.

Worth knowing

The menu runs to smashed-patty burgers like the double-patty Big Glen, fried chicken numbers such as the Sweet Heat Clucker, a chickpea-patty vegan option, wraps, ribs, wings and a share-style cheat platter. Halal options are available, there is all-day breakfast on weekdays, and the crazy shakes are a fixture. Hours stretch from mid-morning to around 8pm daily, so it suits a casual weekend lunch on the patio more than a quiet sit-down dinner.

Getting there and parking

The venue sits within Roselea Shopping Centre on Karrinyup Road, with ample centre parking and easy access off the main road. It is about 10 minutes north of the city in Perth's northern suburbs.

Pair it with

The City of Stirling's dog exercise areas are well spread through Balcatta, with Macedonia Park on Albert Street a designated off-leash spot a few minutes away. For a fully fenced run, the Wright Road Fenced Dog Park is a short drive south. A coffee stop on the way back is Brew Thru or McCrumbs Deli.
