While it’s sad news for any Suit that wants to tuck into a little burger while enjoying the nature (read: ibises) of Hyde Park, there are still plenty of other ops if you’re craving a shroom burger from Mary’s.
The restaurant, which once belonged exclusively to Newtown, now has locations in Circular Quay, the Entertainment Quarter, and hell, even God’s Country, AKA Castle Hill (an interesting choice given Mary’s penchant for Satanism).
The Mary’s team has also shared a quick line about the closure on their site, hinting that they might just be moving to a bigger location. Thanks to all our customers!” it reads. “We’re relocating to a bigger space, more news to follow!”
But while some have mourned the closure, other people have been more critical of Mary’s, citing some of their problematic history.
“I get a weird vibe from Marys,” one person . Their whole ‘punk’ aesthetic whilst charging $20+ for a burger, expensive drinks and underpaying staff. It’s all just BS branding.”
Others called out their historically poor treatment of employees, cited in a 2020 piece from as well as their alleged history of wage theft.
“Good riddance, Mary’s group had a history of wage theft and bullying employees,” one commenter wrote.
The blokes behind Mary’s, and , have made headlines previously when they “whiny fucking cunts”, amongst a bunch of other Boomer nonsense.
Later, they in an email sent out to all of their staff.
Other Redditors took the opportunity to share their favourite go-to burger joints, including Burgerhead in Western Sydney, ROBS in Rozelle, and Mister Gee in North Strathfield.
“Mr Gee’s burger truck, Bar Luca.. even the chippy inn [Poseidon’s Catch] on Burns Bay Road in Lane Cove have better burgers. Glad this place has gone!”
