What can I say? I used to walk/tram past this place every day to work, and always wanted to try their fries cos they were apparently so great. One day, I did, and got handed a cup of soggy barely cooked greasy chips that werent even salted. The sauces are okay- but certainly not good enough to make up for... More

I tried the fries with the Canadian French sauce and a hot dog and it tasted great! The service could have been a bit friendlier but the food was really good. More

The hot chips were only all right. Better than average but nothing special. Had a burger as a well which again was just OK. Quite pricey - $13 for a small burger, small chips and a drink. Disappointed. More

I love Lord of the Fries, at all of their venues! Their burgers are so good you would think they were meat, their chips are the best in Melbourne... This is our families favourite take away food, just wish that there was one locally! More

I love lord of the fries. best chips in the world. I love african sauce, it's the greatest. Also even though the burgers aren't made from meat they are really nice and you'd never know (i didn't!) More

It's nearly impossible to get a really good thick hearty gravy as a Vego so coming accross lord of the fries is a godsend! They can do all their chips and sauces vegan, including Cheese and Gravy! As well as the fries they offer burgers which go down well, especially the big mark. Seating can be a bit tight if... More

I really wasn't that impressed, sorry to say. Whilst they have a great menu for vegans or those with intolerances/allergies; the chips themselves weren't anything I would write home about. All right if you're after something for the train ride home, but not as great as I'd been told. More

You would not think that the burgers are vegetarian. They are divine. But the best thing is the fries. Make sure you get the creamy type sauces - the thicker the better. Great service, quick and pretty inexpensive. Delish after a couple of drinks while you are waiting for your taxi. More

The burgers are hard little hockey pucks. The ordering system is confusing and the staff are inattentive. More

So you'd think using 'Lord' in the punchy title, they'd be at least above average. Sadly not. Try a local, non-chain, 'fish & chips" shop for some serious chips. More
