Highly recommend. Finally a place that does junk food for vegetarians and vegans! Good food, good service. The only drawbacks are that it is pretty expensive and the place could use a bit of a polish up
Having been here more times than I care to admit since its opening, I’ve sampled a decent amount of the menu. Standouts for me are definitely the classic burger upgraded with a beyond meat patty, (it tastes so much like the real thing it’s almost uncanny) and the chickn and chips snack pack. A great option for veggies and vegans in the CBD.
Another welcomed Aussie franchise to the Welly scene. I’ve visited the ones in Aucks several times.Good selection of vegan options, from the burgers to the sweet kumara fries.The local beer, Fortune Favours is also on tap – but had licensing issues last week, hopefully these are addressed.
I’m never disappointed at lord of the fries, having had it in Auckland and Melbourne before: I love the variety of options and it’s always a generous serving!
For a place that has a name like lord of the fries, to only have chunky in stock is pretty bad. Bad is how you would describe the nuggets, these tasted horrific, like old gamey poultry, very pungent to the nose also. Ironic is the name also as the swarm of flies circling the centre of the restaurant formed a small dark hurricane.
The first time I ate here, I think it was their first day open. I had a cheeseburger with shoestring fries. Neither was great. The fries were not crispy or salty and they did not resemble the picture on the menu at all. They were actually kind of burned so I was pretty disappointed. How do you burn fries and still not get them crispy? Somehow, they managed it. The burger was ok, but I can make a way better burger at home. The vegan burger at BurgerFuel is far superior to this one.My second visit was a few days later. I had the fried chicken with chips and upgraded to sweet potato fries. Not bad, but not a standout either. The texture of the chicken was realistic, but the batter didn’t have a lot of flavor besides just being salty. I also had the bacon and egg breakfast sandwich. This was terrible. They put on so much mustard, it basically tasted like a mustard sandwich. I couldn’t taste any of the bacon, egg or cheese. Why does this sandwich even have mustard on it anyway? I like mustard, but not with bacon or egg. Got an order of onion rings, too. They were tasty, crispy & flavorful, just the way onion rings should be. Only thing is, they were super greasy. On my third (and perhaps final) visit, I had the chicken nuggets & chips. The nuggets were really dry and over-fried. No sauce could rescue these. I upgraded to sweet potato fries and they weren’t as good as the last time, so consistency is a problem. I also ordered an Oreo shake. This arrived at the table watery and not frozen at all. Oreos were undetectable. Tasted more like chocolate milk with the same consistency. Complete disappointment. :(LOTF definitely needs to improve their food and the first place they can start is with their fries. I mean really, it’s in their name, after all.
