About Bad Love Burger Co.

West Leederville’s heavyweight for double patties with crisp, lacy edges—engineered for serious drip and crunch. Word among burger purists puts this Harrogate Street counter high on Perth itineraries, though return visitors often pivot straight to fried chicken dunked in chili oil or honey. Coeliac diners get reassurance from buns with dietary marks baked right into the dough, fries arrive tossed in house love dust, and cold cans of Cherry Coke wait in the fridge.

  • Lacy-Edged Smash Burgers: Patties seared hot for crisp, craggy borders, stacked with melted American cheese and house-blended sauces.
  • Destination Fried Chicken: Massive thigh pieces fried for intense crunch, from chili oil heat in the Hot Lovin' to sweet honey glazes.
  • Signature Love Dust Fries: Crispy hot chips tossed in the kitchen’s proprietary savory-sweet love dust seasoning blend.
  • Verified Coeliac Bun Protocol: Coeliac-conscious workflows featuring dedicated fryers and gluten-free buns visibly branded during baking.

  • Fried Honey Chicken Burger

    Super crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. We loved it so much we came back just to have the honey chicken burger again before flying out of Perth.
