Fast Food House product reviews

Decided to get dinner in Feilding after a concert at a nearby school. Stopped in at the 'Fast Food House', which is situated on Kimbolton Road. The inside is brightly lit, has a few game machines, and seats and tables for people to sit and eat.

Fast Food House has an extensive menu. It is, in essence, a fish 'n' chip shop. They serve all the usual deep fried foods, along with the more unusual such as chicken chippees. They also serve asian dishes, asian smorgasboard, burgers, soft serve ice creams, sundaes and milkshakes. All burgers are also available in a combo, which includes small fries and drink. There are many kids combos available too. They also serve fried chicken, which is available by the piece or in combo packs with chips.

I would have liked to sample their asian smorgasboard, but unfortunately by the time we got there (8.30pm), the smorgasboard looked a little worse for wear. There was not a lot on offer, and what was on offer did not look appetising. Fair enough though, as it was getting late.

So instead, I ordered a chicken bacon & cheese burger and small fries. Unfortunately I was overcharged by 15 cents - NOT a good look in my book. To make matters worse, another person was also overcharged while we were waiting for our food.

After about five minutes (impressive minimal wait time), my food was ready. Now judging from the colour pictures which they have on their menu displaying the burgers, I was expecting a burger which contained a thick crumbed chicken patty/fillet. Instead, what I got was chicken which had been pulled off the leftover chicken pieces which I am guessing had not sold. A bit of a let down, as it was not what I was expecting. The bacon was not real bacon ™ it was ham. This aside, the burger was pretty tasty, albeit on the small side, and had a good slog of mayo. Average.

Fries were crinkle cut, and served in a bag which turned transparent with grease. I found them to be extremely salty ™ and this is coming from somebody who LOVES salt. Not too bad however, fries are fries after all.

My friends received their order, which was incorrect. They ordered one chicken bacon & cheese burger, and one hawaiian burger. They received one steak burger, and two chicken bacon and cheese burgers. Yet another stuff up.

To summarise:

Good points
- Short wait time
- Great selection
- Caters to a variety of tastes (asian, kids)
- Tables for eating in

Bad points
- Food different to what is advertised
- Very sloppy service (overcharging, got order wrong)
- Limited healthy options ™ most foods fried
- Language barrier ™ cashier very hard to understand

I will let you decide if you would like to dine there, I know I will stick to KFC or McDonalds in the future.
