EAT & DRINK Melbourne’s

best counter meals

Better than anywhere else you've tried.

Springrock is where pub dining stops apologising. Our chicken parma will ruin you for every other parma you've had. The Riverina Black Angus porterhouse is cooked the way it should be: rare in the middle, crust on the outside, full stop. The cheeseburger is house-ground from fresh brisket trim, sourced direct from Fancy Hank's next door.

Strip back the pretence. Order at the bar. Eat at the counter. This is the meal you've been thinking about since last time.

Food menu

Order at the bar and grab a seat at the counter, or book a table. Prices in AUD. 20% surcharge on public holidays.
