According to Deliveroo customers it's Jimmy's Burgers in lower Crown Street.
In fact Jimmy's Burger Bar's Classic Cheeseburger is the most popular dish ordered in Wollongong during the last 12 months.
And Jimmy's Beef Duluxe burger came in at number four.
To celebrate its second anniversary in the city, Deliveroo food delivery service compiled a list of its 10 most popular dishes.
Second spot in the Deliveroo Top 10 went to Guzman Y Gomez's Burrito Bowl and the third most popular dish was KFC Fairy Meadow's Ultimate Box.
Jimmy's Burger Bar owner James Ornelas believes two of his burgers made the Top 10 because they were great value for money.
"I think you have to give out the absolute best value you can when it comes to the quality of the food for the price you are charging," Mr Ornelas said.
"Selling our Black Angus beef patty burgers at a $10 price point means I might not be getting as much money in my pocket but the customer can see and taste the value. I really believe the quality is there. People keep coming back so I think that is my recipe for success".
Mr Ornelas said it was wonderful to be an independent business with such strong local support.
"Wollongong has this great community for backing independent operators. I feel it is quite unique to Wollongong. I am so grateful".
Jimmy's Burger Bar opened in 2014 and Mr Ornelas said when Deliveroo came along two years it was a first for him and enabled his business to reach more local foodies.
"I have seen a shift in the way customers use our business. And the customers who walk through our door are now ordering twice as much. Friday is the busiest night with people watching the footy a common reason. Then Sunday late lunch for people wanting a hangover burger. That's when they start going out hard and fast".
Deliveroo now has more than 150 local eateries signed up to its platform in Wollongong. Over a third of the the restaurants and cafes are local and independent.
The most popular time for orders is 6.27pm.
Deliveroo's Joe Satari said Wollongong was proving to be a great foodie location.
"Since our launch two years ago, Deliveroo has allowed residents to expand their meal options, and local restaurants have been able to widely expand their customer base," he said.
"Wollongong boasts an energetic and enthusiastic community of residents who have embraced Deliveroo and the local riders who support it".
