If you haven’t been to The Chook Depot in Maroubra, you’re seriously sleeping on one of the best burger spots in Sydney. Alex — the mastermind behind it all — brings an undying passion to his craft, creating unique, bold burgers that hit different.
The first time I went, I had "The Alex" burger — a true original. Full of flavour, perfectly balanced, and made with real heart. I was hooked from the first bite.
But today… I went big. I ordered the "El Chapo" — and OMG. This burger is a Spanish-inspired beast. Think rich, juicy Spanish-style beef, smothered in a one-of-a-kind Spanish sauce, and loaded with fiery jalapeños for that perfect kick. It’s bold, spicy, and seriously addictive.
Alex isn’t just cooking — he’s expressing himself through food. You can taste the creativity, the quality ingredients, and the absolute love that goes into every burger.
👉 If you're in Maroubra or anywhere nearby, do yourself a favour and check out The Chook Depot. Trust me — you’ll be thinking about these burgers long after the last bite.

Always served with a smile. The food speaks for itself. Cooked to perfection, chips are thick and crunchy, for such an amazing feed, the price is too good. If you like spicy I recommend the Portuguese chicken burger 🤤
