Trying to find the Grill’d inside Melbourne Central and realising there are about six Grill’d stores within a kilometre of it? Which one is actually in the centre — and is the QV one that keeps appearing in your results even open anymore? Why do two websites show completely different ratings for the same store, and why does one price page reckon the Mighty Melbourne costs $17.90 when the menu says otherwise? In the middle of the CBD, every Grill’d looks like every other Grill’d. So which one is yours?

Grill’d Melbourne Central is on Level 3 of Melbourne Central, at the corner of Latrobe Street and Swanston Street, Melbourne VIC 3000 — the dining level above the station. It opens at 10:30 AM daily and closes at 10:00 PM Monday to Thursday, 10:30 PM on Friday and Saturday, and 9:30 PM on Sunday. Call (03) 9650 0085.

Grill’d Melbourne Central at a Glance

The essentials first, all in one table.

Opening Hours

Watch the pattern here — this store has three different closing times across the week.

Friday and Saturday run latest, to 10:30 PM. The trap is Sunday: the store closes at 9:30 PM, earlier than every other night — and at least one scrape site out there shows a 10:00 PM Sunday close, which will leave you standing at a shut counter. The store sits on the centre’s Level 3 dining level, so it trades later than the centre’s shops on most nights. This store has been at Melbourne Central since 2008, so it knows the late crowd well.

Where Is Grill’d Melbourne Central & How to Get There

The store is inside Melbourne Central — the centre that spans two city blocks between Lonsdale and La Trobe Streets, at the corner of La Trobe and Swanston Streets — on Level 3, the dining and entertainment level with Hoyts Cinema. There is no shop number to hunt for; Level 3 is the locator. If you can find the cinema level, you have found the Grill’d.

Train? This is as easy as Melbourne gets. Melbourne Central Station (City Loop) is directly beneath the centre, with access through the centre’s Lower Ground level. You can go from a train platform to the burger counter without going outside.

Tram? The free City Circle tram stops at the centre’s doorstep, the Swanston Street and La Trobe Street stops are right there, and the centre sits inside Melbourne’s Free Tram Zone — trams in the city centre cost you nothing.

Driving? The centre’s car park (800+ undercover spaces, entrances on Lonsdale and La Trobe Streets) publishes these official rates: $18 per hour standard, a $14 flat evening rate after 5 PM, $19 earlybird, and a $6.50 cinema rate for up to 3 hours with Hoyts validation. In and out within 30 minutes is free. Third-party parking sites quote wildly different numbers for this car park — the rates above are the centre’s own. The store’s official page gives the same advice we would: catch the tram, take a train… but probably don’t drive.

For live directions, open the store’s official listing from the Grill’d Melbourne Central page on grilld.com.au and navigate from there.

Grill’d Melbourne Central Menu & Prices

The full Grill’d range is on the menu here: beef burgers, chicken burgers, Healthy Fried Chicken, wagyu and lamb, chips, sides and shakes. Like Sunshine Plaza, this store’s own most-ordered list is led by the chips — CBD crowds snack hard.

Four of the top five are chips of one kind or another. The Baa Baa lamb burger is the only burger that cracks the list — a Melbourne pattern by now.

From there, the range spreads out:

One local name to know: the Mighty Melbourne, the city’s signature burger, is on this store’s menu (shown at A$21.90 on its DoorDash menu — some price sites still quote it near $17.90, which is years out of date). We have not published a full review of it yet; it is on our list.

A familiar warning: delivery apps set their own prices, and some of theirs sit above the prices above. For the complete menu with the prices we track and update, see our full Grill’d menu with prices page.

What to Order at Grill’d Melbourne Central

This store rates 4.4 stars on DoorDash from 500+ ratings, and its most-ordered list is a snack lover’s manifesto.

Start with the Famous Grill’d Chips (A$8.90 regular, A$6.90 snack) — numbers one and two at this store, hot and herbed, the default CBD side order. The sweet potato chips and zucchini chips (A$10.50 regular) fill out the rest of the top five, so if you are ordering for a group, a spread of chips is genuinely what this store does most.

For the burger itself, the Baa Baa (A$21.90) is the one that made the list — lamb, in the middle of the CBD. And if you want the full Melbourne experience, the Mighty Melbourne is the city’s own signature burger, on the menu here. Pair any of it with the location: Hoyts is on the same level, and the cinema parking rate ($6.50 validated) exists precisely for the burger-then-movie run.

A word on ratings, honestly: you will find two very different Google ratings floating around for this store (3.6 in one place, 4.2 in another). They cannot both be right, so we do not print either — the DoorDash figure above is the one we can stand behind, labelled as what it is.

Delivery & Takeaway from Grill’d Melbourne Central

Two CBD traps to dodge. First, this store does not take pickup orders through DoorDash — to collect, order in store or by phone. Second, this store’s DoorDash page also carries a “Swanston Street” location label — that is a quirk of the listing, not a different store. The Swanston Street flagship (a big two-level restaurant that opened in early 2026) is a separate store further down Swanston Street. The Melbourne Central store is the Level 3 one, on (03) 9650 0085.

Group Bookings & Local Matters

The store takes group bookings — birthdays, game days and work groups — which suits a Level 3 spot next to a cinema and bowling. Online table booking is available too, handy for CBD lunches when every counter in the city fills at once.

Through Grill’d’s Local Matters program, the store supports community causes every month. Melbourne Central’s official page currently features the Leukaemia Foundation, supporting people living with blood cancer. The featured groups rotate, so the jars in store show who is being supported when you visit.
