A new frites and burger place in Albany Creek is opening this September and it might just become the next local hangout, judging by its mouth-watering food, award-winning craft beer selections, and friendly service!
Located at the old Coffee Club site on Ferguson Street and Albany Creek Road, Fritzenberger will finally serve Albany Creek locals its delicious meals and world-class beers when it opens its doors on Saturday, the 14th of Sept 2019.
Here are five fun facts that you may be interested to know about Fritzenberger Albany Creek:
1. It’s the second-biggest Fritzenberger store.
Opening about a year after its Wilston store, Albany Creek is Fritzenberger’s second-biggest store with a 150-seating capacity. Be the first to try what this family restaurant has to offer as the store begins trading at 11:00 a.m.
“It will be a good place for the family to gather or for local friends to catch up for a weekday or weekend session,” store manager and Albany Creek resident Kirsty Bennett said.
2. You could win a year’s supply of burgers on its launch.
The restaurant predicts that 1,000 burgers will be grilled on opening weekend and the store is going all-out with its launch. So if you visit Fritzenberger from the 14th until the 30th of Sept 2019, you’ll get a chance to win a year’s supply!

3. You’ll enjoy a variety of burger options and unique flavour tweaks.
For unique flavour tweaks, the fries come with a range of salts that you won’t find anywhere else because these are made in-house: Vegemite salt, beetroot salt, fresh chilli salt, roast chicken dinner salt, buffalo wing sauce salt, and garlic and rosemary.
If you haven’t had a chance to eat at Fritzenberger’s other locations in Petrie Terrace or Wilston and you don’t know what to get on your first visit, you cannot go wrong with its classic Fritzen burger, frites and craft beer.
Fritzenberger serves up delicious beef burgers prepared and seasoned using local ingredients, hydroponic lettuce, fresh vine-ripened tomato, and house-made pickles. The beef is sourced from the hinterlands of Byron Bay, where the Fritzenberger team is on a first-name basis with the farmer, Bruce.
If beef isn’t your favourite, you may also order the chicken burger or the mushroom burger with a serving of fries.
4. The selection of beer on tap is abundant.
Did you know that about 20 to 30 kegs of Fritzenberger beers are brewed every week at Petrie Terrace? Would-be regulars will be happy to know that a batch of these will be delivered to Albany Creek on a regular basis.
Everyone knows burgers and fries go well with a bottle of cold beer, so Fritzenberger serves a good selection of beer on tap. Try the Fritzenberger Pale Ale, Fritzenberger Munchen Lager, Fritzenberger Mid, Fritzenberger IPA, and Fritzenberger Schwarzbier.
The restaurant will also have a Lithuanian Keptinis Baked Farmhouse Ale, which isn’t brewed anywhere else in Australia, except at Fritzenberger!
“We are sending our core range and most seasonal beers that we brew to Albany Creek. They cover a wide range of beer styles so there is something to suit everyone’s taste buds,” Matt Glanville, the Brewer Manager said.
5. Fritzenberger Albany Creek will bring Live Music and Trivia Nights soon.
In the coming weeks, Fritzenberger will also be featuring live music and weekly trivia nights that promise to make liven up the night in Albany Creek.
“Local residents are really excited to have a late-night dining option in the area that offers a space for locals to relax, host functions and even attend weekly trivia and live music nights. They feel like it is something the area is missing,” Ms Bennett said.
