Flames Burgers and Grill (Clarkson)

Flames Burgers and Grill is a casual, family-friendly burger shop on Neerabup Road in Clarkson's main strip, and dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables while you work through a loaded burger. It is the kind of easy stop that pairs well with a beach or coastal walk rather than a big night out.

The dog setup

Dogs are allowed in the outdoor seating area only, not inside, and the usual rules apply: leashed, settled, and close to your table. Staff are generally easygoing about dogs, but bring your own water bowl because one is not guaranteed to be out, and pick a shaded spot in the warmer months. It is worth confirming the outdoor setup when you order, since shopfront seating rules can shift over time.

Worth knowing

The menu runs to handcrafted American-style smash burgers, ribs, loaded fries and hot dogs, with a solid vegetarian and vegan list as well. Locals rate it highly, and the milkshakes get a mention, including a Hokey Pokey flavour. It opens daily from morning through the evening, so it works for an early dinner as easily as a late lunch.

Getting there

The address is 19 Neerabup Road, Clarkson, in the main commercial strip, with free parking on site. The outdoor tables sit close to the car park, so there is no long walk with the dog.

Close by with the dogs

Quinns dog beach is a short drive north and makes the obvious pairing: sand and water first, burgers after. For a morning coffee stop in the same suburb, Brewed Awakening covers the caffeine half of the day.

Pepsi: Time your visit for after a Quinns walk; a tired dog on a shopfront footpath is a settled dog.
