This was the last place my partner and I stopped in for food at the Fringe. We were attracted to this place because they have made a fire in front of their place of business, and were BBQing pork there.
We lined up and we decided to try the pork tasting plate. The tasting plate was $20 so we were expecting it to be a reasonable size. When it came time to pick up our order we were shock to see it was only one sausage, one lettuce, one piece of bread and maybe 4 slices of pork with some sauce on the side. Really???? I mean REALLY???? This is was worth $20. Didn't taste that great either. Just you're normal average pork. I didn't what to expect but definitely not something in this portion.
Sounds great, presentation to lure clients in is great, taste and value wise. Not worth it at all.

Whilst attend the Fringe last week I had one of these voodoo burgers. One of the best burger I have ever eaten. I was surprised to find a burger of this quality in the Fringe.
The burger portion was reasonable. The taste and texture of the patty was prefect, and the salad was crisps and fresh. I couldn't ask for a better burger.
The staff there was busy so its not like they could sit around and chit chat, but they did have a smile on their face when I asked for my order.
HIGHLY recommended to EVERYONE who can't resist burgers. I'm on a hunt now in Adelaide for the best burger place. Would be reviewing one at least a week. :)

Whilst at the fringe this year my partner and I worked up an appetite so we tried a few places here.
This is probably one of the better places as my partner absolutely loved the kebabs here. Wait in Adelaide here we call it yiros eh? Still trying to get use to the lingo in Adelaide since I'm from Sydney. So apologise to my readers :)...
My partner order a chicken one and I had a bite of his. It was nice and juicy because of the BBQ sauce. easy to eat with his hand and didn't' create a mess. The service was fast and we got exactly what we order. Why would we complain?
If you're craving for something big to fill your stomach I would say this is the way to go as from what I saw at the other places their portion are half the size for the same price.

This was one of the food places located in the fringe.
It was nice to see them put a spin on the average daily gozleme. I was thinking about gozleme even before I arrived because the other night I watched MKR and my favourite contestant had cook that for an entrée.
I've always loved Gozleme and this one is no different. It was a burnt on the outside but I didn't mind too much. At least it wasn't as salty as some of the other I had eaten on the day. On my way out I did manage to go and buy another for I have a snack on the trip home.
Definitely recommend it if you're at the fringe this year to give this place a try. Staff there are extremely friendly as well no matter how hot the weather is :)

Ahhh.... This time of the year where Adelaide has the Fringe. First time and it has lived up to all my expectations. The Fringe that is.
I attended the Fringe around 6 in the afternoon and most of the food shop was just opening up. This place attracted me because of the smell of the BBQ. My partner and I got the lamb baguette. It looks pretty decent in the picture. When we got it the baguette was small, the bread was cold and there was very little salad. The lamb pieces itself was over sized for the bread, so you know what I mean by the bread was very skinny and small. It didn't taste great either. I could have done a better job myself at home.
To pay $13 for something that was more like an entrée for just one of us is pretty disappointing. Thank god there were other shops around for us to buy from.
Never going there again and would not recommend it to others.

I went there with my sister who was visiting from Sydney the other week and she order a medium seafood salad and a whole chicken. I order a large salad however I wanted a combination of chicken salad, beetroot salad and coleslaw. They we were happy oblige to my request at no extra cost which was quiet nice.
My sister liked her salad too however we both though that we would have liked to have stuffing in the roast chicken.
It is quiet pricey since we both paid close to $50 for both of our items. Its nice but not amazing. It was one of the other places that was offering AB for $20. We can get the same thing in the city for $13

I went to Foodland for some shopping and went upstairs to look at what food they had there for lunch.
My partner has told me about this Chinese restaurant that has Shanghai dumplings and salt and pepper tofu. I've always walked past it but never had a chance to go inside because every time I went there it was always closed.
Finally get a chance to sit down and order my tofu and dumpling dish. It was well worth the wait. The tofu was crunchy and fried to perfection. The dumpling has sufficient soup inside so when I took a bite, the juice burst in my mouth.
Now this is Sydney quality food. :)

I've recently moved from Sydney, Have heard of TGIF from movies and even the series Sex and the City but never have I ever seen or been to one.
This place was exactly what I expected. My partner and I arrived pretty early that day so we made it for the cheap drink specials. Each beer was approx $3 which keep us happy whilst we were waiting for our meals.
The meals portion are big, chips and ribs are very tasty. Next time I go I'm waiting to try the fijita or the burgers. Definitely fits what they call an American meal.
Staff there are friendly and knowledgeable and always maintain a smile on their face. Haven't seen a grumpy one yet. Parking easy because its located in the shopping mall.
Highly reccommended

My partner took me to this desert place.
The lay out is amazing. Its an Indian palace theme all over including the wash rooms. I was told the portions of the deserts were massive and that his favourite was "Something Wicked This Way Comes". He told me that the last time he has it it was fulled a full glass of ice cream topped with snicker, mars bar, maltese picnic peaces scattered on top.
When it arrived we were both disappointed and shocked. It look nothing like the dish he has had previously. The portion was small and there was only chocolate cover peanuts scattered on top of some ice cream. We ate it but when the waiter came around to clean up we commented how disappointed we were and how the portion sizes and variety has changed drastically. The waiter just responded that he would pass the comment to his boss.
Don't think I would be going there again.

Last weekend when I wasn't in the mood to cook lunch at home my partner and I went down to the local snack bar for some hamburgers. My partners been there a few times but for me it was a first.
He ordered the salt and pepper squid with chips and salad and I order a steak burger with BBQ sauce. My partner dish was a little disappointing. His squid was overdone, chewy and very dry, the tar-tare sauce did help a bit. The chip and salad were nice though. My burger was decent. They gave me slices of steak instead of one chunk of steak which made it easier for me to eat.
The staff there are very friendly and the food came out reasonable fast. Its a nice little joint at the end of the street that I wouldn't mind visiting again. Just that we wont be ordering the salt and pepper squid.
