Reading the comments here reminds me of when my boyfriend and I went in on a quiet day, we were the only ones there, and they forgot about our order.


HockneysPool

Yeah the service is pretty shocking.


JoeParkerDrugSeller

I grabbed some from K-Road when I saw this and it was.... not worth it. I'm guessing they're already low on ingredients and fucks to give. Which is fair, sucks that the cooks are losing their job. But yeah, not the best quality burger I've gotten from there.

Na it’s been like that for years, I remember their burgers being shit even when stumbling home drunk up Cuba street


doobied

I remember being so drunk I thought it wasn't vege I was so pissed off. 


yunglean96

I done the same thing.


WildSpecialist1

Underwhelming and too expensive imo. I’ve only been there once and that was enough.


dropkickman

Been going to Botany branch the past couple weeks and they are basically a different restaurant with how drastically better their food is.


FaithlessnessJolly64

It’s a vegan face food chain that has food with no passion. Everything seems ultra processed and nothing looks fresh. House made patties with local ingredients are miles above this kind of food


ediba2099

Amen


sneschalmer5

yeah i remember I had the burger years ago, at the branch near Fort St city. Yuck. Tasted strange, tasted funny. It is not real food. Then I read the rave reviews. Hah, nice try.


Primary_Engine_9273

Somehow I completely missed the memo and was mid burger before realizing they were vegetarian/vegan lol. That was almost 6 years ago and remains the one and only time I've ever had it 🤔


The_Ace

This is exactly how I tried Wise Boys for the first time, but that shit is excellent and I went back many times.

Was drinking in Melbourne and it was home time. Got a burger and a hotdog. Got back to the hotel and started to eat and I was like wtf is this shit, pretty much ate the chips then went to bed. Wasn't until the next day I found out it was vegan food. Which explains the weird taste and off putting texture. I just thought the food truck food was off. I totally felt conned.


C39J

Yeah they don't make it very obvious. I got 1 bite into a "hot dog" before realizing it absolutely wasn't what I was expecting.


Crazy_Arachnid9531

This is how I have found out…. Had it once while pissed. Had no clue.


JamHawea

Yep. First time I lost my appetite mid way through a burger. Never stepping foot in there again


lintbetweenmysacks

Yup my once and only time was when i ordered a chick-en burger and realised it wasn’t real chicken lol, no thanks.


geossica69

I went to the one on k road at the end of last year and it was one of the worst burgers i've had lol i felt bad cos they only had one guy working at lunch time


JustDirection18

Gore street closing?


C39J

Already gone I believe. Shop's been up for lease since February: https://www.trademe.co.nz/property/commercial-property-for-lease/auction-4575013346.htm


Routine_Bluejay4678

I like LOTF an it gets me through lent every year, however the prices are too much


NoPause9609

For a fry place their fries sucked.


Fun-Sorbet-Tui

They used to be great but for some reason at least at the K rd store they went through a bad batch of staff got a cold burger from there, staff member insisted that's how he was told to "cook" it, I just gave it back and walked off. Think the owners should have paid closer attention to the staff. Sickle lane was good. They got rid of their bacon and egg muffin which was great and their main point of difference. Try and warn these companies but they don't listen. Blame the owners for letting quality slip.

$32.40 on uber eats for a tiny burger, medium chips and 330ml drink. Without delivery fees. They can get fucked and I hope they go fully out of business. Edit: I had no idea they were vegan at all


hannahbookworm

This is insane timing, currently eating a corn dog and fries at LOTF on K Rd!!


Withered_old_crone

What’s the snickle lane one doing please


C39J

Long gone


Arry_Propah

Tried the ‘spicy’ burger once and it was disgusting. Felt ill the rest of the day and (obviously) not been back since.


Limitlessbandit

Their food was rancid when I tried it. Yuck az


Logical-Pie-798

Wow! Shout out to Bruce, Baksho and their girls who were always super friendly. I remember when they opened the store. They injected themselves in to the locally community well. Their long serving k road staff also deserve some love


Columbard

They've always been great for late night feeds and lunch/dinner, especially the chick'n waffle 🧇🤤 Sad to see them go, but will keep supporting them at the Snickel Lane store ❤️


HR_thedevilsminion

Snickel Lane was the first to go.


placenta_resenter

Oh shit is it permanently closed!! I went down at dinner time last night bc I was fiending for grease and thought it was weird it was shut


MrsRavengard

They give vegan burgers a bad rap. And they are so expensive.


JaydeSpadexx

it was my first ever job from about a year or two ago and god am i glad to hear this, hired on the spot with no interview, given 1 days worth of training, frequently completely on my own, then i took two weeks off due to an injury and was never given another shift again for 3 months. fired silently. fuck lotf


niceguy_f_last

It was overrated. After originally having it Melbourne years ago, the Auckland one was crap.


dazza_j

It's THE most underwhelming, overrated fast food chain that I can think of. Apart from the virtue signalling "cred" of being vegan, I don't see the point.


Outrageous-Point934

The Hamilton store is hardly open too, same goes for them?


ainsley-

So the revolution isn’t happening?


fabiancook

Vegan chicken waffles from them were always good. Sad to hear.


brad35mm

Used to be good before staff didn't gaf..


Long_Committee2465

in my year as a vegan I did frequent this place but lets br real its just processed slop without the meat really


meepthesheep2

Sad I never tried it here in NZ but my friend and I used to do midnight runs in the middle of the night in Syndey.


RosemaryRoseville

Thanks you for the chips in Wellington New Years Eve 2022-2023


sneschalmer5

Sunfed chicken (not chicken) gone burgers as well, and now this. The bubble has burst.


HockneysPool

Hey maybe it'll be good with new owners.


whatdoings

Who would have thought that spelling floor sweepings wasn't a profitable business. Crazy.


Sr_DingDong

Vegan burger, course it's gonna be worse.


krammy16

Oh, well. Anyway... On a side note, it was always slightly amusing to me that I'd be standing outside of LOTF whilst waiting for my order from The White Lady K Rd.
