Great fast food!

I had their tropical (special) burger with fries and onion rings and it was great! A bit much sauce on the fries/onion rings for my liking, but I guess it's difficult to get an amount that everyone is happy with... (I know could get sauce on the side but want to avoid plastic waste)

Tasty junk food

Really tasty, the only thing I would recommend is that the waffle in the waffle n chicken burger was maybe crispier, it fell apart as I was eating it, but it was still really tasty! The staff were also very kind and polite.

Pros: Many locations , Kind staff, Good food to everyone

Fast food that is as indulgent as the Omni version.

Love LOTF for the very odd guilty treat. It is definitely not gonna get you int those summer shorts, but who doesn’t need a greasy indulgent meal at least a few times a year.

So glad the exist, and since the chain went completely vegan I can literally order anything on the menu! Such a rare a glorious experience.

Forever fan x

Perfect fast food.

A bit greasy but great for a hangover feed.
They could do with a clean and tidy up. Looks like a grease trap. Nothing naturally appealing to this place where as it really should be.

Pros: Fast, Vegan, Service is good

Cons: Oily , Looks unkempt, Needs a wipe down.

Vegan fast food!!

Amazing!! A bit expensive but it's delicious. Their normal patties are better than their beyond burger versions, so don't bother spending the extra money.

Pros: Lots of options, variety., Unhealthy, filling junk food , Easy to get to

Cons: Not the friendliest staff, Long wait sometimes

Grubby goodness!

LOTF is my go to. Vegan fast food that’s open late, such a progressive and incredible movement.
My favourite thing to order is a classic burger with a beyond patty. The chips and chicken nuggets are amazing as well as the multiple sauce options they have to lather them with.

Vegan Take Away Burger Joint

The burgers are nice as are the loaded chips. A bit on the pricy side but always hits the spot.

Vegan fast food

The clue is in the name. If you want to be healthy, stay away. For indulgence, go for it. I had a fish burger, which was decent, and a halal snack pack (fries vegan beef vegan cheese sirracha hummus),which was amazing. I had it during two visits, no way I'd be able to eat all of that food in one go. The place seems to be pretty popular with the locals too (I was under the impression that lots of customers had no idea their meat is plant based). They have a variety of burgers, including Beyond Burger. Worth checking out, especially for those who miss their carnivorous junk food days.

Pros: Affordable fast food, Quick service

Cons: Difficult to find , Limited seating, probably better to takeaway

Great nuggets.

Friendly and conveniently has some seating. Have tried Melbourne hot dog, chips, nuggets parma burger and oreo cookie thick shake. The thick shake needed more blending.
Have been here three times. The first time: very hard to find. If walking in the front entrance (already on level 1),
turn left to the big gold clock, go past the clock to the far left enter Knox lane ( semi outdoor lane going towards the State Library) about 1/3 along the lane is Lord of the Fries.
(Level 1 Central Station: Knox lane).

Pros: friendly, great nuggets.

Cons: hard to find at first.

All vegan location

Told us all items on the menu were vegan, which is great! The burger was great, but the fries were a bit greasy. So fun that there is a fast food place like this for vegans, and it was really busy too!

Pros: Vegan, Good food

Cons: A bit greasy

AMAZING!

I love LOTF, vegan junk food is mt happy place. The chicken burger, mixed snack pack with mayo, and the HSP are the real standouts here - a must try.

Pros: Most (if not all stores) are now vegan!

Memories of McDonalds

Not the best quality of food, but when your in a pinch this satisfies. It’s great to have a place like this as an option again.

Worst branch but I still love LotF

This is maybe the worst branch of LotF, in my opinion, but I love LotF THAT much that I'm still giving them 5 stars.

Pros: Greasy deliciousness, Fast and convenient , Reasonably priced

Cons: This is maybe the worst branch

Best Fast Food Vegan

Best place to eat in Melbourne when you want some good fast food, on the go. I would recommend the fries or faux chicken nuggets with Vegan cheese and gravy if your feeling something a little extra. The milkshakes are also great too.

Veggie but junk!

Good idea to have this veggie fast food chain, but the food is way too greasy and salty.
Worth a treat on a night out!

Pros: everywhere, Cheap

Cons: Greasy, Salty

Disappointing milkshake

This was my first time purchasing from this LOTF. I've eaten at others, and have always ended up regretting it. However, I was in the city late. I had earlier seen a sign, in a different LOTF shop advertising The Lords Shake, and for some reason I was craving one, badly. I overrode the voice of previous experience. I wanted a vegan cookies and cream milkshake!

First up, the staff member who served me was lovely.

The shake itself certainly wasn't bad, it just wasn't particularly good either. Firstly, there wasn't enough ice-cream in it. For the price, I was expecting a good thick shake, instead it had all the body of one made entirely on soymilk, even though I know there was soy ice-cream in it. Secondly, the oreos were overblended - I've had awesome cookies and cream shakes in the past, and part of the idea is to actually have recognisable lumps of cookie in it - so that you need an oversized straw. If it's thoroughly blended in, then it's just a chocolate milkshake that happens to have cookies as an ingredient, not really cookies and cream at all.

I think I'm cured of thinking that LOTF is a good idea for at least the next 6 months...

Pros: Friendly staff, Lots of vegan options

Cons: It never lives up to expectation

You'll feel super naughty

It's fast food. It's exactly like fast food, too. It's so good you'll want to double-check it's vegan! I felt like - omg this is so good and fast-foodie that I don't think I should finish it - but I'm gonna!!! :D

Pros: Good price, Fast service

Cons: Tricky to find

cheap and nasty

Was really looking forward to our meal here. Got the vegan option burgers, which didn't seem much different than an mc'd burgers. The fries were burnt and seemed like they were left overs from the day before. Can't say I will be in a rush to get back here

Pros: cheap

Cons: nasty

Convenient (but not always) Fast Food

The food is awesome if you are vegan and have the desire to eat fast food burgers. That alone has major novelty value for me. I'm not big on the veggie patty, it's rather mushy and the chicken is rather tasteless. The LOTF patty is very good as are the nuggets. This branch seems to be a bit slower than the others, I've waited over 20mins before (despite being the first order on the board when I arrived) when I thought I'd grab something on my way to get a train. Though now I've gotten over the novelty value I do try to avoid it most of the time as no matter how good quality their oil (and whatever else) it is still junk food.
