IT DOESN’T get much more relaxing than eating a burger and having a beer while listening to some live music

And that’s exactly why Grill’d Ballarat have combined the three this Good Food Ballarat.

It’s all part of their Burgers, Beers and Good Times event and all of Ballarat is invited to join in.

This is the first year Grill’d has participated in the month long event and franchise partners Marietta Thompson and Aaron Bones have created a night for the whole family to enjoy.

“It will be a bit of a cruisy night, we hope people come in, chill out and have a beer,” Ms Thompson said.

“It’s an easy place for families to come along to and have a good night.”

From 6pm on November 16, all Grill’d burgers, steak sandwiches, sliders and salads on the current menu will be offered with a $5 craft beer, wine or cider.

Guests will also have the chance to taste the new nourish and flourish burger which features grilled grass fed lean beef, avocado, dijon mustard, dill pickle, shredded carrot, cos lettuce, tomato and egg mayo on a low carb superbun.

And for anyone who prefers a salad, Ms Thompson said the new superpwer salad with grilled chicken breast, avocado, beetroot, almonds, cherry tomatoes, cos lettuce, Spanish onion, carrot, mint and extra virgin olive oil dressing is “delicious”.

Live acoustic music by Matt and Luke Taylor will also feature throughout the entire night.
