While you wait you can soak up what appears to be the original 80's decor while reading magazines that might well be a similar vintage. Even inflation hasn't seemed to have made much a dent. A hamburger with the lot for $6.50 in 2012. Eh? Most importantly though, the food is like the fish and chips I grew up with. Don't come to this place for modern, artisan, gourmet, overpriced, panko crumbed, tempura battered, hand cut, pommes frites de blah blah. This is the destination for good old fish and chips, like the ones you used to pick up on your Mongoose BMX. Of course you can also order the more exotic items like potato cakes, dim sims, chicko rolls, crab sticks etc. if you're into culinary adventure. The straight forward food philosophy has also been applied the hamburgers and souvlakis. I'm not sure what variety they use, but the oil is clean so it doesn't taint the food. They also have it at the right temperature so the chips are crispy on the outside, moist in the inside. The fish batter while not the lightest in the world is freshly applied to the fish, which also seems fresh. If you eat it soon after it has been prepared you will not be disappointed. The older guy on the grill doesn't talk much, but the service from the women in the blue aprons is quick and reliable. I for one am hoping time continues to roll past this one.

It's often hard to find decent food that isn't kebabs after 11pm so it was to my great relief when…read moreI found this place on Google maps. My initial experience was not too bad The food is good for what it is and a welcome relief from the usual late feed. Got the vegan Weiner and wasnt that impressed however with the food itself. Chips were also a bit weird. Kinda soggy and the sauce were a bit meh Staff were super friendly to be fair and decent vibes to accompany the rusty interior aesthetic. Pretty sure they missed another order when I came back a second time. They tried to resolve the issue via FB messenger but it kinda just became radio silence after awhile In summary; not terrible :p

After watching a couple seasons of 'Man V. Food', we decided to look up if Melbourne had any food…read morechallenges. We stumbled across Massive Wieners 25 inch hotdog challenge - so we went to give it a go! The venue is easily accessible via public transport, with tram stops and Prahran train station nearby. It is a cute venue set up like an old American-style hotdog place. We found it entertaining to browse around at all the photos of people that have tried the challenge on the walls. Both staff members we dealt with on were extremely friendly, particularly the owner. He was very sociable and made the whole experience better. They also have vegetarian/vegan options so everyone can have a try! The hotdog really was HUGE! We thought it was pretty great value, as it was only $15.00 - with the allowance of two condiments and unlimited water. The hotdog was really tasty, and had a really nice flavour. There was a very generous amount of sauce, which is definitely needed to complete the challenge successfully! The bun was nice too, but unfortunately both of us succumb to the sheer size of the hotdog - meaning we landed a spot on the 'Did not finish' wall. It was a fun experience despite the serious feeling of fullness for the rest of the day. We look forward to going back to Massive Wieners and trying some of their delicious sides. Check them out!

I used to love it but my last 3 visits have been way below par. The potato cakes I ordered were…read morevery thin, very pricey, just not good enough. The fish was, on several occasions, 3 small pieces soaking in fat and overcooked. Not normal, so don't know if it's staff changeover or what.

The other thing that I have noticed is that they don't to the standard battered fish, but rather have a number of options, as well as topping, which are actually quite delicious. The problem is that you can't really eat it with your hands - well, you can, it is just you will land up with really greasy hands. Oh, and the chips aren't bad either.
