Had better - Edit
I've had better at other Lord of the Fried locations. This was a bit salty. Otherwise I love the overall idea of vegan junk food.

Salty boi - Edit
Have you been sweating up a storm walking up Ben Lomond? Or got too excited on the luge? This container is perfectly located at the base on the gondolas/tiki trail to help you replenish your precious sodium stores. Burgers and fries and nugs oh my

Everything is possible - Edit
A place where you can eat everything because it is 100% vegan - it’s a dream come true.
Read moreWho would have thought that a place where I don’t feel special is the best? Not having to ask for special treatment, not being out of the norm, simply put: everything is possible. Please support places like this. One can only hope they are the future.
Pros: The best vegan junk food ;-)

Solid option for when you're craving grease - Edit
This is a good option when you just need some junk food. I had the nuggets + sweet potato fries box with the Malaysian sauce (I've also tried their plain fries which are average with the Vietnamese sauce which definitely has a kick to it!). Can't really complain! I do ask for lightly salted because I got normal once and it was WAY too much salt.

Vegan fast food heaven - Edit
OMG, those mac 'n cheese balls! The closest to real vegan cheese I have had in my life! Just try them, you won't be dissapointed!
Read moreThe burgers were tasty, but would even have been better of we opted for the Beyond burger patty instead of the regular one. Fries were mediocre.
Very friendly staff.
Cons: A bit pricey

Takeaway Food - Edit
Was there on a rainy day. Uber dropped us off and all the seating is outdoors. Two large tables inside the indoor skydiving place saved us. Apparently they share those tables.
Read moreThe food was good! Hash and sausage muffin was very good and the waffle chicken sandwich was average. Onion rings were nice and the ketchup was excellent.
Pros: Serves breakfast late , Modest prices
Cons: Outdoor seating (mostly) , Not much of an experience

Solid junk food spot - Edit
This was my first time at Lord of the Fries. I had the Biggie combo with shoestring fries and Parisian sauce. The Biggie was insanely good and tastes exactly like what I remember of a Big Mac from McDonalds. I genuinely think most omnis would not be able to tell the difference. The fries were also really good. Only downside is the price really, even for New Zealand you're paying as much as you might pay in a proper sit down restaurant.

Cons: Expensive

Good to have a 100% vegan place in QT - Edit
I was getting quite bored with so many restaurants who claim to cater to vegans in QT only to have several disappointing outcomes. I thought a trip to my favourite 100% vegan establishment (my usual is in Sydney) would fix my hanger but oh no...
Read moreI bought an original burger.. also a phish and chips. I didn’t take it out until I got home but I nearly gagged at the smell when I went to eat it. You know those old milk bars where you walk in and you can just smell that old oil and grease? Like it hasn’t been changed in forever? 🤢 It had exactly this overpowering smell and taste .. it left residue ..
I don’t want to put people off ... maybe I got it on a bad day? LOTF has amazing vegan options. But I hope mine was a one off with the oil situation ...
I also got a peanut butter choc shake which was SO good and highly recommend.

Trick your non-vegan friends - Edit
This place doesn’t obviously advertise that it is 100% vegan and if you take a non-vegan friend there this may be the meal that converts them. The food is better than any non-vegan fast food and they have a large range of options, from burgers, to hot dogs, to chicken and waffles. Portions are massive and filling. This is also the perfect place for a meal after climbing Ben Lomond!
Read morePros: 100% vegan, Large varied menu, Really welcomes non-vegans

So nice to have a 100% vegan place - Edit
It’s so nice to be able to order anything on a menu for once. We got the chicken munch box and a chicken sandwich. I was surprised to like the “grilled chicken” on the sandwich better than the “fried chicken” nuggets. The nuggets were fun but the sandwich was awesome! The aioli was great but the “American bbq sauce” was a little bland to me, not like real American bbq sauce. Overall though it’s a great fast food type restaurant and satisfies your need for greasy junk food :)

Tasty junk food - Edit
It's nice to know that we have a vegan fast food place in town, specially considering that Queenstown has no other 100% vegan place. Phish burger has a very interesting flavour. Munch boxes are great options too. I didn't like the Beyond burger though, I'm not particularly looking for something that imitates flesh or blood, it was too much for me. If you don't enjoy oil or salt, this is not the place to go.
Read morePros: Only place 100% vegan in Queenstown, Really tasty, Fast service
Cons: Not very healthy, Oily and salty, Big burgers are not really big
