The Legacy of 165° C

A burger movement, served at the perfect temperature.

We didn't start with a restaurant. We started with a thermometer — and an obsession. 165°C is the searing temperature at which our patties hit their juiciest, crispiest, most flavour-packed crust. We named the brand after it.

From a single counter to a growing community of burger lovers, 165° C blends gourmet craft with a soulful Tex-Mex kick — chicken fried, smash and veg burgers, soft in-house buns, slow-roasted salsas, and chillies that don't pull their punches.

What Makes Us Different

Four uncompromising standards. Zero compromises.

01

100% Fresh Patties

Hand-pressed every morning. No freezers, no shortcuts — chicken patties seared to a deep, golden crust.

02

In-House Baked Buns

Soft milk buns, baked daily on-site. Buttery, sturdy, and engineered to hold every drip of flavour.

03

Bold, Mouthwatering Flavours

Smoky chipotle, fire-roasted poblano, slow-cooked salsas. Big, layered flavour that earns its name.

04

A Real Tex-Mex Twist

Sweet chilli wings, smashed quesadillas, Nashville loaded fries. Burgers meet the border — and the border wins.

The Experience

A dine-in built around the open flame.

Warm wood. Exposed brick. Cast-iron lights. An open-grill counter where guests can see the patties hit 165°C in real-time. It's QSR comfort with the soul of a neighbourhood diner — designed to make everyone feel like a regular by the second visit.
