About 51st Street

51st Street is a New York City–inspired American burger bar and restaurant located in Brisbane’s CBD. They specialise in classic and gourmet burgers, slow-cooked ribs, wings, loaded fries, salads, and all-day meals, alongside coffee, tap beer, wine, and cocktails. The venue caters to both dine-in and takeaway customers, and may also partner with third‑party delivery platforms for online orders. Charges on your statement may appear as “51ST STREET BRISBANE,” “51ST STREET RESTAURANT,” or a similar variation referencing their Brisbane, QLD location.

A charge from 51st Street usually relates to an in‑person dine‑in or takeaway transaction, a bar tab that was opened and then closed to your card, or an online order placed directly with the restaurant or via a food delivery partner. You may see a one‑time charge for a meal, multiple same‑day charges if you split bills or paid in separate transactions, or a larger total if you covered a group table or added drinks and sides. Some banks may show a temporary “pending” or pre‑authorisation amount when you open a bar tab or when the card is first processed, which then settles to the final bill including any tips or surcharges.

To verify a 51st Street charge, start by checking the date and amount against any recent visits to Brisbane’s CBD, takeaway orders, or food delivery receipts in your email, SMS, or delivery apps. If you still have questions, look for the restaurant’s contact details on your receipt or visit 51ststreet.com.au for current phone and email information, then contact them with the exact charge date, amount, and last four digits of the card used. Common billing issues such as split bills, group tabs, public holiday surcharges, or accidental double charges can usually be clarified quickly by the venue, and they can issue adjustments or refunds where appropriate through their EFTPOS/payment provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from 51st Street on my bank statement?

This charge is typically from an in‑venue purchase at 51st Street in Brisbane’s CBD, such as burgers, ribs, drinks, or coffee, or from a takeaway/online order. Check whether you or someone in your household recently dined in the city or ordered delivery from a New York–style burger bar around the date shown on your statement. In group settings, the person whose card was used to pay the final bill will see the charge, even if others reimbursed them in cash or via transfer.

What are typical amounts I might be charged by 51st Street?

Typical individual transactions at 51st Street can range from around AU$20–$35 for a burger and drink, and AU$50 or more for couples or small groups, depending on food and alcohol ordered. Larger group tabs, shared platters, and multiple rounds of drinks can easily total AU$100–$200+. Your exact charge will reflect your specific food, drinks, and any surcharges or tips added at the time of payment.

Why do I see two similar charges from 51st Street on the same day?

This can happen if you split the bill into separate payments, opened and then closed a bar tab, or paid for one transaction and then added extra items later. Sometimes a temporary pre‑authorisation amount appears alongside the final settled charge until the hold is released by your bank. If both amounts remain posted after a few business days and you believe you were double‑charged, contact the venue directly so they can look up the EFTPOS records and, if needed, process a refund.

Does 51st Street place pre‑authorisation holds or pending charges on my card?

Yes, like many restaurants and bars, 51st Street’s payment processor may place a small pre‑authorisation or a hold for the estimated bill amount when you open a tab or tap your card. This pending amount can differ slightly from your final total once all food, drinks, surcharges, and any tips are added. The initial authorisation should automatically drop off from your statement within a few business days, leaving only the final settled charge.

Does 51st Street have subscriptions or recurring charges?

No, 51st Street is a restaurant and burger bar and does not typically offer subscription plans or recurring billing to regular diners. Any charge from them should be a one‑time transaction related to a specific visit or order. If you see repeated charges you don’t recognise, review who is using your card and contact the venue and your bank to investigate potential card misuse.

How can I get a copy of my receipt from 51st Street to verify a charge?

If you no longer have the printed receipt, you can contact 51st Street directly using the phone or email listed on 51ststreet.com.au and request a copy. Provide the exact transaction date, approximate time, amount, and the last four digits of your card so staff can locate the payment in their POS system. They can usually email you a copy or provide a summary showing the items purchased.

How do I dispute or request a refund for a 51st Street charge?

First, contact 51st Street directly and explain the issue—such as an incorrect amount, items charged but not received, or a suspected duplicate payment. The venue can review the bill, check their POS records and, if an error is confirmed, process a partial or full refund back to your original payment method. If you cannot resolve it with the restaurant, you can then speak to your bank or card issuer about disputing the transaction.

What surcharges or extra fees might be included in my 51st Street charge?

Depending on the day and payment method, your bill may include a public holiday surcharge or a small card processing surcharge, as is common in Australian hospitality venues. These fees, along with any optional tip you add, will be included in the final amount that appears on your statement. You can check your itemised receipt or contact the venue if you’d like a breakdown of how the total was calculated.
