Review: Best vegan takeout burger ever! I just kept coming back to this place, if I was working late then Lord of the Fries was where I'd get dinner from. Even on a fine Sunday I would grab a burger and fries to eat down by the river. My friend recommended the gravy on fries - after that it was bye bye ketchup. Grab an organic cola and a vegan organic nougat chocolate bar and you're living life!
 
Pros: Fast * vegan cheese burger * fries with gravy
Cons: * *

Review: Even though they seem to be focused on the fries, I found the fries to be average. The burgers, however, I thought were incredible! They make a completely vegan version with vegenaise, and soy cheese! So good, I ended up going back twice! There's no seating here, it's a walk up window only, but even though it was cold and raining it was worth huddling under the awning to enjoy such a great burger.
 
Pros: Amazing burgers * Vegan mayo and cheese *
Cons: no seating * *

Review: you have to have these fries! THe burgers are pretty good as well. They have spicey and regular patties, and of course you can have it all vegan. Great for meat eaters too, as it shows them we are not all mung bean loving (although I may be) freaks (which I may be as well!) Vegetarian food can be fast food, tasty and interesting!
 
Pros: good fries * friendly service * you can take a meat eater, no probs
Cons: price * waiting after ordering * not enough vegan sauces

Review: I love the fries at Lord of the Fries. Thai sauce is my favourite.
The burgers, on the otherhand, are going down hill... They are just a rip off.
I ordered a regular sized burger a few weeks ago from the Flinders station store. I could see the grill and it looked like there was only scraps of a patty pushed up into the corner. I was not very impressed when i watched the guy take one of the scraps and squish it flatter and put it on my "regular" burger. The patty was about the volume of a teaspoon full of patty mix and about the size of a 50cent piece when flattened. This went on to my "regular" burger. It would have needed to be 4 times the size to even be big enough to cover the base of the bun!
They might have been tight with the patty, but they put on WAY too much sauces on it. It was dripping with the stuff.
Overall YUCK. It was really dissapointing because i used to really enjoy LOTF veggie burgers. I don't see why they have to be so tight with the patties... Especially since they charge so much for them.
I hope they read this and make their burgers better. I'll happily come and re-review them if they improve!

 
Pros: convenient * authentic belgian style fries are great * They nailed the Veg McCheeseburger taste
Cons: too expensive * burger patties almost invible * not very speedy service

Review: Amazing vegan fast food - burgers dripping with goodness and the chips with gravy are out of this world. Great for a late night feast after drinking - but I find it hard to walk past at any time of day.
 
Pros: tasty * big portions * vegan fast food!
Cons: bit pricey * *

Review: there aren't many places to get vegan food in the city so when my friends and i discovered LOTF we were very excited (and still are!) delicious little burgers and yummy fries. yum yum. they have vegan cheese now (cheezly from the UK) and i hear they have just started doing breakfast too but have yet to try it. they even have a few vegan/organic chocolate bars that are similar to a bounty and a mars bar (from the UK). their location is an added bonus! definately keep supporting them!
 
Pros: open late * vegan friendly * location
Cons: bit expensive * *

Review: Really pleased with this place. Right in the middle of an area where late nighters like to eat fast food sits a Vegetarian! burger place that just says "burgers" with the veggie stuff in fine print. Burgers were very good (though not the best I've ever head - head to Katoomba in NSW, Niche Noch), and the fries and sauces were a real treat. Great idea, and very bold to go veggie in the meateaters heartland...
