Yum - Edit
Convenient location at Flinders St station with friendly service and the full range of Lord of the Fries offerings.
Read moreNowhere to sit except so be prepared to take the food to eat somewhere else (maybe by the riverside nearby).
Be aware the late night 20% surcharge which applied from 9 pm on a Sunday night one of the times I visited.

Junk food - Edit
Nice junky food in a pretty packed area. I wasn’t too hungry so I ordered something small, fries and Mac bites. The bites are deep fried balls with macaroni and cheese inside of them and it was good. I know after a few drinks this place would be ideal.

Good food located in a congested and dirty location - Edit
The place is located within Flinders Street Station near Fed Square. It is an incredibly busy station. You can access the place either from outside the station or within the station. It is a very small place with no dine in option. Within the station there are some tables nearby but they are often very dirty. If you order from outside the station, you can sit in Fed Square, but there are often seagulls that will try to snatch the food off you. It is a convenient place that is open often where you can grab food as you're passing by Flinders Street Station, but the area is not a pleasant place to eat as it is dirty and congested.
Read morePros: Everything vegan
Cons: No dine in options , Crowded location, Too many birds eager to snatch your food

what's going on? - Edit
Last few times I've eaten LOTF, I've been let down. Limp chips and dry, overcooked "meat" on the HSP. I don't know what they were thinking replacing cheese shreds with cheese sauce on the poutine, it drowns the chips in a snotty mess!

I’ve never been a big fan of their fried, and I think the standard of the food has dropped a lot over the years. Such a shame!

I actually loved the fries when they first opened and cooked them skin on, served in a cone. It's definitely gone down hill!

Some delicious things on the menu - Edit
The four stars is more for what I've eaten and loved in the past: prawn tacos, hsp, dim sims (don't think this is available anymore, sadly), the breakfast muffin range.
Read moreLast night, we got the sampler box. It's ok, INCREDIBLY salty, we had to brush the excess off. The chips were perfectly cooked, the nuggets are now too soft/mushy, the fried chickn is not as soft as the nuggets, but not the authentic texture it used to be, and the onion rings are quite nice.
Pros: prawn taco, hsp, dim sims, breakfast muffins
Cons: new nugget and fried chickn nowhere near as good, far too much salt

Yummy fast food, super convenient! - Edit
Lord of Fries is an institution. I love walking down here in the morning and grabbing a breakfast bun and hash browns. I also like that they offer mini burgers and different kinds of chips - try the thick cut! I have found the sweet potato ones a bit too oily unfortunately.

Fast food yum - Edit
This place is so convenient and if you have a craving for fried food it’s the place to go! It’s not obvious it’s vegan when you first look at the menu but it’s 100% vegan. We had the phish and spicy burgers which were great. They had run out of hot dogs sadly. Take your non-vegan friends and show them there is no missing out!
Read morePros: Satisfying fast food hit, Quick and easy , Cheap
Cons: Not gonna do your health any favours! , Stop running out of hot dogs!

We need this vegan fast food everywhere, please! - Edit
After I was slightly disappointed by this chain in New Zealand, this Aussie branch improved its reputation. Really excellent food, typical fast food but 100 % vegan! I've been missing a place like this my whole life.
Read moreI had fries, mac and cheese balls and "chicken", and everything was delicious. I like the salt that they use! The staff are friendly and they're open till late.
Unfortunately, next time I wanted to try the Phish burger and tacos, they were out of both items.
The surroundings are also not very nice, it is quite a dirty place and there is no seating.
Pros: Great food and lots of choice, Quick service, Open till late
Cons: Sometimes out of items, Take-away only

Very nice - Edit
I had the Melbourne hotdog with classic fries, they'd run out of the chunky ones. It was great, lots of choices and very convenient inside the train station.

Handy - Edit
This is the first vegan place in Melbourne that I visited almost 4 years ago. I was amazed that there was a fully vegan burger kiosk in a major train station serving many different burgers and hot dogs. I remember we had to wait a while after ordering to get our food, not great when catching a train. Maybe they're a bit quicker these days, or maybe it's because they're so busy - which is a good thing. The food was alright. I'm glad to see the kiosk is still there.
Read moreI wasn't too impressed and surprised with the Lord of the Fries recent Instagram post using a captive animal that had many negative comments, it made me question the company's ethnics but they have since taken it down.

A staple for those in Melbourne who like a plant based fast food alternative. With a variety of burgers, hot dogs, fries and much more they’ve been feeding me and the good people of Melbourne for many years.

Tasty food! - Edit
Great Mac and Cheese balls! Super crunchy and really gooey inside. You wouldn't be able to tell they're not vegan.
Read moreWe also had poutine fries, with extra French Canadian sauce - meant to be gravy and cheese but only got gravy in the tub. Extra sauce tubs are always small and over priced regardless.
Pros: Tasty food, Great to grab on the go, Good drunken food.
Cons: Sauces are overpriced.

Everything you want from a fastfood place - Edit
Food was greasy in a good way. The place made me wish I was at uni nearby so I could go after nights out rather than when stone cold sober. Buy I probably appreciated it more sober so I probably benefited overall. I had the dimsum and chicken wings. Both were really tasty including for the vegetarian ans meat eater I was with.
Read moreThe chicken wings were perfectly crispy
Such a good price in comparison to everywhere else I've seen
Pros: So many things to try, Great price
Cons: Very salty

Getting worse! - Edit
Maybe it’s just me, I find the LOTF burgers and hot dogs are getting worse over the years. Today I ordered the phish burger and it was so dry and tasteless. The bun was so dry and plain and was merely a cover for the filling. Won’t be going back in a hurry.

Cons: Tasteless dry burgers and hot dogs on my opinion

LOTF - Edit
Decent fast food. Chips were nice as usual, however this location is very busy (naturally due to location) so it can be a bit of a wait for food.
Read moreI had a breaky burger and added ingredients. It was delicious, and they were accommodating.
My partner got the fish box however, and the “fish” was badly overdone unfortunately and wasn’t edible. I guess this was likely due to how busy they were, and one of the employees decided to just “throw it in” rather than re-cook it, due to the long line of people waiting.
Pros: All vegan , Accomodating with menu changes
Cons: Can get really busy, Business appeared to result in overcooked food

Great fast food option! - Edit
I’ve had food from Lord of the Fries (various locations) more times than I can count. It’s always friendly and the food is consistently great, especially when you only have a few minutes to eat. My favourite menu item, by far, is the chick’n waffle! It’s chick’n, fakin’ bacon, and maple syrup. It’s delicious. 😋 Highly recommend!
