From 1969 until 1971 I used to stop most Friday nights on the way to Shepparton and on the return to Melb on Sunday nights (back to work)to buy Burgers with my mates, and later my wife.We knew the Burgers were excellent and very filling.My wife is also of Polish background but didn’t realize the “COOK” was also !The line up then was often 10 to 20 people deep.We would often buy a 7oz beer at the Pub next door while waiting.Also, many young people from Shepparton would often drive the 60 miles (100 Klm’s)on a Friday/Saturday night to simply buy Burgers and drive home again.Hard to believe now. Best wishes to all staff and customers.Ron

Ive travelled the Hume on many an occassion and always love to stop in for a burger there at Seymour I dont even think i knew it was called caravan cafe we just call it the hamburger stand at Seymour or once i met some mates at “the HOLE in the WALL!”Didnt matter what i call it we all know where we mean to be to get a great tasting burger. The service from Jenny and her crew is very good and pleasent the burger is fantastic so what more can you ask for hey? I honestly think its the best in country Victoria! Can’t wait for my next one all this burger talk makes me long for a trip to melbourne so i have an excuse to go there for another one with the lot.

Rosalinda,I’m sad it took me so long to take the detour.

Jenny, thanks for coming along and commenting. I look forward to dropping by again and saying hello. It just shows that people appreciate a good product produced with care.

Dear Ed and all the great customers of the famous caravan cafe in Seymour. I am now running/managing/cooking (what ever you want to call it) those terrific burgers at Seymour. I was so touched and happy to read all the great compliments about the burgers and the service that i felt really humbled that someone appreciates what we are doing so much that they are letting everyone else in on the secret. It has made me feel really important that im lucky enough to be the one making people happy and full all in the love of a great burger everyday that im at work.Its not just my job as of this moment, anymore, i promise to do everything in my power to keep up the excellent service and the best quality burgers your tastebuds have ever tasted! We are adding to our menu and changing a few things but never the taste or secret receipe of those mouthwatering burgers so i welcome you all back whenever you get the urge for a decent satisfying feed with good service thrown in, with now a BIGGER smile.

We love the burgers at Seymour so much so ,Ed ,that on the day my husband and I were leaving for a trip to Italy we had to stop off the freeway to eat one before we left, we had many memorable meals in Italy, as well as not so but the day we landed back in Melb and made our way home we would have stopped again had it not been 3am!! man what a hunger we had for a burger with the lot that night.These days my husband travels to Melb for work regularly and he stops in everytime, the lady always sends her regards to me too which is lovely. We think the detour is worth it every time.

+1 for Kermonds – And a great place to step back into time as well. I think I might make an excuse and take the family for a drive up to Seymour to see what all the fuss is about.

My boyfriend took me away to Mansfield for a romantic weekend… and detoured via Seymour just so we could have one of these burgers. I was initially a bit cheesed off at the detour, but then very happy as you were Ed, at the quality of the burger. We also had a bit of atmosphere, eating our burgers at the Seymour vs Euroa Aussie Rules game (a country footy match is one of Australia’s great experiences).

Gobbler, I’ve heard of Kermonds. I’m of to the Coonawarra via Dunkeld in a few weeks so perhaps i can drop by and try them. Danny’s is now in St Kilda as well. the product is good but I think the quality of the mince they are using could go up a notch. Andrews definately has the edge on them and has a massive Facebook following. Of course, now we also have those posh organic burgers such as at Grill’d. they aren’t bad but could do with more fat to deliver more flavour.

Ken, it was that little note I saw so I gave them a call for my Hun column.They are glorious.

Tim, i think as the Gobbler says when they are bad they can be very bad. Just the thought of racid fat is making me ill.
