After an extraordinary twelve-month transformation, a Cairns family has proudly opened the doors to their dream business, Smash Royalty, bringing gourmet smashed burgers to the local food scene.
The journey began when the family, led by passionate foodies, decided to turn their culinary vision into reality. They spent months perfecting their recipes and developing a unique concept focused on high-quality, smashed-to-order burgers.
From Vision to Reality: The 12-Month Transformation
The family invested nearly a year converting a former car park office into their vibrant new eatery. Located in a strategic position to attract both lunchtime crowds and evening diners, the location underwent a complete metamorphosis.
Despite facing the typical challenges of starting a new business, including construction delays and supply chain issues, the family remained determined. Their dedication saw them work tirelessly to create a welcoming space that reflects their brand's energetic personality.
The Smash Burger Experience Comes to Cairns
Smash Royalty specialises in the art of the smashed burger, a technique where beef patties are pressed thin on the grill to create a delicious, caramelised crust. The menu features several signature burgers, including the 'Royal with Cheese' and the 'Crown Burger', alongside loaded fries and hand-spun shakes.
The owners emphasise using fresh, local ingredients wherever possible, supporting other Australian producers while ensuring maximum flavour in every bite. Their commitment to quality extends to their cooking process, with each burger made to order for the ultimate freshness.
The response from the Cairns community has been overwhelmingly positive since the opening. Locals have been flocking to the new establishment, eager to sample the much-anticipated menu and support a home-grown business.
A Family Dream Realised
For the family behind Smash Royalty, this opening represents more than just a new business venture. It is the culmination of a shared dream and a testament to their hard work and perseverance over the past year.
They expressed their gratitude to the Cairns community for the warm welcome and are excited to establish themselves as a go-to destination for burger enthusiasts. Looking ahead, the family hopes to build a loyal customer base and become a staple in the local dining landscape, proving that with dedication and a great recipe, any dream can be achieved.
