Beef burgers are everywhere, but what do you order when you are bored of beef? Is the Grill’d Baa Baa a proper lamb burger, or just the usual build with a different patty dropped in? Does it come with tzatziki and Greek flavours like most lamb burgers, and how much does it cost?
The Grill’d Baa Baa costs A$21.90. It pairs a pasture-raised lamb patty with tasty cheese, avocado, cos lettuce, tomato, Spanish onion, relish and herbed mayo in a Hi Fibre Lo GI bun. At 2,390 kJ (571 calories) and about 27 g of protein, it is the lightest specialty burger on the Grill’d menu.
What’s Inside the Baa Baa?
Forget the kebab-shop picture in your head. There is no tzatziki, no feta and no Moroccan spice here. The Baa Baa takes Grill’d’s classic salad build and swaps the beef patty for lamb. Here is every layer:
It is the same family build as the Simply Grill’d, with two upgrades: the lamb patty, plus avocado and tasty cheese as standard. You can see where it sits on the full Grill’d menu with prices if you want to line it up against the rest of the range.
What Does the Baa Baa Taste Like?
Lamb does the heavy lifting, and lamb tastes like lamb. It is richer and more savoury than beef, with a slightly sweet, almost gamey depth that a beef patty never gives you. If you love roast lamb, you will recognise it straight away.
The supporting cast keeps that richness in check. Avocado brings a cool creaminess. Herbed mayo adds a soft, herby layer. The relish cuts in with sweet tang, the tomato adds juice, and the cos and Spanish onion keep things crisp and fresh. Tasty cheese stays mild, so it never fights the meat.
Read it as a classic Aussie lamb burger, not a souvlaki in a bun. The flavours are balanced and familiar rather than spiced or fiery. Nothing is hot. Nothing is sharp. The lamb is allowed to be the main event.
Baa Baa Nutrition
Here are the numbers for the standard build, per burger:
Nutrient | Amount |
Energy | 2,390 kJ (571 kcal) |
Protein | ~27 g |
Carbohydrates | ~37 g |
Total fat | ~33 g |
Saturated fat | ~11 g |
Sugars | ~9 g |
Sodium | ~913 mg |
Fibre | Not published |
That 2,390 kJ makes the Baa Baa the lightest burger in Grill’d’s specialty range by a wide margin. The three wagyu burgers sit between 2,910 and 3,100 kJ. You save roughly 500 to 700 kJ by picking lamb, and you still get a full-size burger with cheese and avocado.
One honest note on precision. Grill’d publishes the 2,390 kJ figure itself. The protein, carb and fat split comes from the nutrition database panel for the traditional-bun build, so treat those as close guides, not laboratory numbers. Fibre is not published for this burger, so we have left it blank instead of guessing.
Baa Baa Price: Is It Worth A$21.90?
A$21.90 puts the Baa Baa level with loaded beef classics like the Big Queenslander and The Almighty, and $1 under Wagyu Wunder and Bonfire BBQ (A$22.90) but $3.00 above Grand Brie ($18.90). It is a premium price, so what are you paying for?
Start with the patty. A Build Your Own Lamb burger begins at A$13.90, but that is a bare patty in a bun. Add tasty cheese, avocado, the full salad, relish and herbed mayo, and your own build climbs close to this price, without a tested combination behind it.
The sourcing story is decent too. Grill’d states its lamb is antibiotic- and preservative-free, with no added hormones. Prices can vary a little by store and delivery app, so check the current menu at Grill’d before you order.
My honest take: if you came for lamb, A$21.90 is fair. You are paying for the one patty on the menu that tastes genuinely different.
Baa Baa vs Other Grill’d Burgers
Burger | Patty | Energy | Price |
Baa Baa | Lamb | 2,390 kJ | A$21.90 |
Wagyu Wunder | Wagyu beef | 2,980 kJ | A$22.90 |
Bonfire BBQ | Wagyu beef + bacon | 3,100 kJ | A$22.90 |
Grand Brie | Wagyu beef + brie | 2,910 kJ | $18.90 |
Big Queenslander | Grass-fed beef | 2,990 kJ | A$21.90 |
The Almighty | Grass-fed beef | 2,990 kJ | A$21.90 |
The pattern is simple. Every other premium burger on this list crowds around 2,900 to 3,100 kJ. The Baa Baa sits well below them at 2,390 kJ, and it is the only lamb option in the group.
Want the sharp, classic wagyu cheeseburger instead? Our Wagyu Wunder breakdown covers it layer by layer. Chasing smoke and bacon? The Bonfire BBQ is the loaded one. Prefer creamy and rich? Read the Grand Brie. For the biggest beef build at this price, the Big Queenslander is the one to beat.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Cons
Who Should Try It, and Who Should Skip It
Try it if you order lamb whenever it is on a menu. This is the clearest lamb flavour in the Grill’d range. Try it if beef burgers have started to blur together. Try it if you want a specialty burger that will not blow out your day, because 2,390 kJ leaves room for chips.
Skip it if you do not enjoy lamb’s natural flavour, because nothing in this build hides it. Skip it if you want maximum protein per burger. And skip it if your idea of a premium burger means bacon, double cheese and smoky sauce. That craving points to the Bonfire BBQ, not this one.
Allergens and Dietary Notes
Based on Grill’d’s official allergen matrix (June 2026), the Baa Baa contains:
The lamb patty itself flags no allergens in the matrix, and neither do the relish or the salad items. One point that matters to many readers: this burger contains no pork. That alone does not make it halal certified, though. Grill’d’s standard restaurants are not halal certified, even though the meat comes from halal-approved suppliers. We cover the full picture in our guide, Is Grill’d Halal?, so read that before you rely on anyone’s guess.
A gluten-free bun swap is available. Be careful, though: Grill’d itself warns that its gluten-friendly options are not suitable for coeliacs, because burgers can pick up traces of gluten during preparation.
