Burger Baby Margaret River

Burger Baby is the relaxed burger bar and grill at 2 Andrews Way, a street back from Margaret River's main drag, doing burgers, rotisserie meats and a proper drinks list until late. Dogs are welcome in the alfresco seating, and with a kids' playland and games inside the complex it handles the whole family, dog included, at one table.

The dog setup

Dogs on a short lead take the outdoor alfresco tables; inside the main venue is people only. The area is casual and can be bustling at peak times, so settle your dog close to the table and out of the server lanes. Water bowls are not guaranteed, so pack your own, and if the alfresco area is hosting a private function or the dinner rush is in full swing, the staff will steer you to the best spot, so check in with them at arrival.

Worth knowing

The headline burgers are the Everything Burger and the JFC, a Japanese fried chicken burger, alongside grilled steaks, fish and chips, brisket-loaded chips and a solid spread of plant-based options, with WA beers, cocktails and wine to go with them. Hours are 12pm to 9pm Wednesday to Saturday, 12pm to 8:30pm Tuesday and Sunday, and 4:30pm to 8:30pm Monday only. Bookings are taken online at burgerbabymargs.com or on (08) 9757 9991, which is worth doing on summer evenings when the alfresco tables go first.

Getting there and parking

The address is 2 Andrews Way, Margaret River WA 6285, in the town centre. There is free on-site parking plus free street parking nearby, and the venue is wheelchair accessible, which keeps arrival simple with a larger dog on lead.

Close by with the dogs

Walk off dinner with a loop of the town's green spaces, or run the morning shift at Brookfield Dog Park. If the trip stretches into wine country, Cape Mentelle pours at a dog-friendly cellar door a short drive out of town, and Riverview Tourist Park takes dogs for overnighters.
