Berwick burger joint Nice Buns by YOMG took home the family dining award at the 2022 VIC & TAS Restaurant & Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence on Monday 11 July.
The chain restaurant, which has seven locations across Melbourne and one in Cairns, beat out finalists Mures Lower Deck in Hobart and The Beachcomber’s Cafe in St Kilda to take home the crown.
Front of house manager Ryan Bova said the store’s family friendly atmosphere and attention to detail is what set it apart from the competition.
“We’ve got a self serve frozen yogurt bar which is very interactive and popular with the kids. We have rotating flavours and fresh fruit, sauces, cookie dough and little things like that, so I think that is an element our customers really enjoy,” Mr Bova said.
“We also have a kid’s playground which the kids run straight for when they come into the store, so that is another great part of the store.”
He said the staff of the store, which opened in 2018, were ecstatic to be recognised in the awards.
“We attended the awards and were super ecstatic to win. It’s great recognition for the area Super ecstatic, it’s a good recognition for that area and also for the team, so we were all really pleased,” Mr Bova said.
Nice Buns by YOMG is located at 260 Clyde Road in Berwick.
The store is known for its extravagant burgers, fries, shakes and frozen yogurt.
