Making a difference - Edit
I mean it’s fast food, what do you expect. What matters is that they are located at spots where normally franchises promoting animal cruelty would be. Gotta thank the "Lord" for making a difference in the world!:)

Yummy - Edit
I love LOTF. If you like garlic, definitely go for their Parisian sauce and I also recommend the shoestring fries. The chick’n was tasty, though I wouldn’t have expected the nugget texture since they’re advertised as being drumstick 🍗 style. Already looking forward to getting LOTF again.

Meh - Edit
If you’re stuck and there isn’t much else around, then this will do the job but other than that go elsewhere. 10 years ago this was elite but not so much anymore with average burgers that are overpriced. They also seem to hire as few people as possible making waits for food a joke.

Pretty good - Edit
Located upstairs at the train station - no seating. We couldn’t resist one last LOTF hit before we headed downstairs to the airport bus. Just what you’d expect from LOTF - no frills fast food. Although it wasn’t the fastest (about 10 min wait) so keep that in mind if you’re in a rush.
Read morePros: 100% vegan Melbourne icon
Cons: kinda expensive for what it is

Tasty but overpriced Junk Food - Edit
Tasty but overpriced Junk Food. Prices are in very small text.
Read moreObviously being a stand, there's no seating in an incredibly windy location.
If this is (and 2 other LoTFs) are the 3 of the 10 _BEST_ vegan restaurants in Melbourne, I think that says how bad Melbourne's vegan scene is.

Quick, Convenient and Cheap - Edit
The food is descent and the Waffle Chicken sandwich is 🔥🔥🔥. A good early morning and late night as well. If you pressed for time or need an after bar snack, this is great.

Open early for your brekky! - Edit
This branch opens earliest (8:30 am), so I had my breakfast before hopping on a train to explore Melbourne's surroundings. The breakfast combo is a good deal, the bacon&egg muffin was surprisingly good (I wonder how they make the egg!), and so was the hash brown. Junk food, but sometimes you just need it.
Read morePros: Inexpensive, Open for breakfast, Great choice
Cons: Typical fast food - not everybody's thing, I was a bit struggling to find it

Food good but service incredibly slow - Edit
Lots of choice for vegan junk food. The quality has really gone downhill and is hit and miss. The service is so slow. Definitely not fast food.

Not bad mushroom burgers - Edit
We had the mushroom meat burgers and they were not bad. This place is overpriced for what they offer though. Staff were nice and helpful.

The Best Ever - Edit
Lord of the Fries just get everything right.
Read moreThe location is PERFECT and also naughty because I used to have to come through this station on my way to work and just couldn't walk past without getting something! The food is always hot and fresh, the staff are lovely and the menu is perfect and all vegan.
Never had any complaints with this store or any LOTF.
Pros: All vegan, TASTY, They sell BEYOND BURGERS

One of the better locations - Edit
Ah Lord of the Fries... a vegan heaven. This branch is particularly good and one I have visited many times due to working close by. The nuggets have recently changed due to supplier issues and aren't as great anymore.. but do yourself a favour and get the Phish in a wrap. My absolute go-to with the introduction of wraps and combos etc, and I have tried 90% of the menu. Also treat yourself to the HSP and the poutine/loaded poutine... omg yes. They use barely any plastic which is great, apart from the little sauce containers (ask for sauce on top to avoid this), the shakes and some bottled beverages. Avoid where you can everyone, save the planet! BYO containers etc ❤🌻
Read morePros: 100% vegan, Vegan fast food! The dream!, Barely any plastic used.. ask for sauce on top
Cons: No seating at this location , Can sit in the food hall across the way, Sometimes long waits due to being at the station

Tasty dirty vegan food! - Edit
Definetely a place for hungover dirty vegan food! The "chicken" nuggets were delish, the burger was ok, a little dry and the bread could have been nicer if it was brioche or something similar. Sweet potato fries were nice!
Read morePros: Everything is vegan

Vegan fast food - has to be done! - Edit
I have been to Flinders St so many times and ignored this place as I didn’t know it was vegan! Above average friendly staff for a fast food place. The food is most suited to a late night snack after a couple of bevvies! Not the healthiest but a guilty pleasure and I will be coming back. Great work Lord of the Fries! Several locations in the city centre.

Friendly Fast Food Kiosk - Edit
I love the nuggets, & vegan egg and bacon muffin (available all day). Onion rings are great if you like the sweetness. We love the spicy burger & parma burger. Favourite sauce is American on the side for dipping (we wash and reuse the plastic containers). The oreo cookie thick shakes are made well here and now our favourite is peanut. My little daughter eats a whole Melbourne hot dog

Staff here are friendly and efficient.
Pros: Fast, All vegan
Cons: Costs add up for a family.
