YOMG Elanora

YOMG Elanora brings the Melbourne-born YOMG concept to Currumbin, with a menu built around burgers, fries, thick shakes and hand-crafted frozen yoghurt. The brand was started in 2013 by a team of fun-loving Melburnians, and its approach centres on bold combinations, colourful buns and a casual, upbeat dining style. The website notes that menu details and availability can vary slightly by location, so the local Elanora offering may differ from the broader menu shown online.

The burger range covers house-made, hand-pressed Aussie Angus beef patties, southern fried and grilled chicken, vegetarian fritters and plant-based options. Standouts include The Shooey, which combines beef, cheese, pickles and shoestring fries with cheese sauce, and The Howler, made with jalapeños and habanero mayo for a hotter option. The Kingsway layers double beef and double cheese with caramelised onion, while True Blue adds bacon, egg and beetroot to its beef burger. YOMG also makes its buns by hand, with options described on the website including signature purple, beetroot and gluten-free styles.

There is plenty beyond the standard beef burger lineup. Plant-based choices include Miss Fu, with a vegetable fritter, vegan cheese and sweet potato, and The Vegan Hustle, built around a plant-based patty with beetroot and pickles. The menu also includes vegetarian burgers, wings and snacks, fries with different toppings, shakes made with hand-scooped vanilla ice cream, and frozen yoghurt. YOMG says its froyo is made with fresh milk and farmers’ yoghurt, then combined with fruit purées or caramel flavours before being swirled into soft serve. A changing #YOMGlimited menu is intended to keep the selection moving, although the website does not specify which limited items are currently available at Elanora.

With its broad mix of meat-free choices, indulgent sides, shakes and frozen yoghurt, the venue suits groups with different tastes as well as diners after a straightforward burger meal. Kids are catered for with snack packs that include a junior cheeseburger, chicken bites or lasagne bites, fries and a drink. It could work for a relaxed group catch-up, a family meal or a solo takeaway-style visit, though the supplied information does not describe the Elanora restaurant’s layout or seating. YOMG Elanora is listed in Currumbin, Gold Coast, with a Google rating of 4.8 from 82 reviews.
