Bangers Burger Club has quickly become known for serving some of the best smash burgers in town out of Shanzee’s Biscuit Cafe on Pandora Avenue.
The business started as a pop-up, serving pulled pork sandwiches out of a couple locations when the opportunity would present itself.
Soon after they started, they found their niche in grilling up smash burgers and found a home in Shanzee’s. They would operate most evenings of the week as Shanzee’s closes daily at 2 p.m. and the space was vacant for the latter part of the day.
However, head chef and co-owner of Bangers, Victoria Matthews recently announced via the business’s Instagram account that they would be closing up shop.
“That’s right, we’re closing our doors at Shanzee’s for good,” wrote Matthews.
“It was a fun ride, full of ups and downs! Thank you to everyone who came out to support our little business, we love you.”
She also announced that prior to closing up for good, Bangers would be coming back for just five days in November to serve their last burgers out of Shanzee’s with accompaniment from some of Victoria’s best local bands.
Despite this decision to cease operating out of the Shanzee’s space, Matthews told Victoria Buzz that this will not mean a permanent end to the Bangers Burger Club.
“I am closing at Shanzees but I am continuing on with Bangers,” she explained.
“So not really shutting down my operation. The location isn’t ideal and doing dinner isn’t a schedule I’m wanting anymore.”
Matthews added that she believes that people aren’t coming out to eat downtown as much because of the perception that the city has become unsafe.
As far as what Bangers could look like going forward, the future is unclear at the moment but Matthews says she is working on a lunch spot, and in the meantime, she will be taking clients on as a private chef.
The final six days of service will take place on weekends between Friday, November 5th and Saturday, November 30th.
Here are the bands that will be playing their last days of slinging smash burgers:
Bangers will not be open in Shanzee’s until Friday, November 15th, as they announced a short hiatus through the remainder of October before they revealed a permanent closure at that location.
