Our Story
Hashtag Burgers & Waffles is the brainchild of burger enthusiast Matt Rollo, with his first store opening in Brisbane’s nightlife hub, Fortitude Valley, in 2019.
Through years of research, they created a burger they are proud of—sourcing only the best ingredients from good humans and running the business ethically. Hashtag Burgers & Waffles embraces diversity, creativity, and community. Like their burgers, they’re a little different—fun, funky, and full of flavor.
