About High N' Dry

Tucked down a quiet Leichhardt side street, High N' Dry turns out thick Wagyu beef and searing Nashville hot chicken. Smashed patties take a back seat here to substantial beef dressed in rich house sauce, alongside spiced tenders and crunchy loaded fries. Regulars watch the kitchen’s social grid for weekly rotating burger builds, while the retro room runs on 90s cartoons, vintage comics, and old-school hip hop. Separate gluten-free and dairy-free menus keep dietary restrictions hassle-free without ditching the diner comfort.

  • Thick Wagyu Burgers: Substantial Wagyu beef patties finished with a signature house sauce.
  • Nashville Spice: Fiery fried chicken burgers and heavily spiced tenders for heat seekers.
  • Weekly Specials: Inventive, limited-run experimental burger builds announced weekly on social media.
  • Nostalgic Vibe: Retro 90s cartoons on mounted TVs, classic comic walls, and hip-hop soundtracks.
  • Dietary Menus: Dedicated separate menus accommodating coeliac gluten-free and dairy-free diners.
