The waffle fries were nice and crispy and had some kind of seasoning on them that really hit well. Add a Coke and it's a perfect meal on a hot day.

Don't get me wrong, Benbry is def a good place to go for lunch. Solid food, not too expensive, fun…read moreatmosphere! Still, I feel that's it's closer to 3 than 4 stars. The staff was nice. You definitely grade staff on a curve when you're rating a busy place! The guy running the counter at the time came to us with a smile and asked what we wanted, but we said we weren't ready and so he said no prob and went back to the kitchen instead of asking if we had any questions. If the place hadn't been super busy, I might have been annoyed but the place was very busy so it made sense. They have an easy numbering system. Your receipt has an order number, and they simply call it out when it's done. You have to stay fairly close to the counter after ordering. However, the place is so tiny inside that you can still hear the numbers from the door. I woke up that day feeling a bit hungover. I think the first words out of my mouth were "I need a hash brown, stat." Several hours later, when we went to Benbry, fate struck and I saw that they had a hangover burger! Amazing. It was actually a veggie option, with no burger. It had an egg, guacamole, aioli, cheese, BBQ sauce... and a hash brown! It was 100% fate. I had no idea if it would taste good, but obviously I needed it in my life that day. Thankfully, it did taste good. My guy got the classic Benbry and said it was good too. As a carb lover, I loved the bun especially as it was nice and large, and a good combo of fluffy and sturdy. My guy opted for the combo, and ordered a side of onion rings. We were not fans, and only ate half of them. They were fried well, and super crunchy. But they were very battery and oily, without really any onion flavor. I highly recommend this place for takeaway! There are only two small tables outside, one table inside right by the kitchen and about two or three bar stools near a ledge to eat by. We were only able to eat in by sharing the inside table with another pair. I would definitely come back though, especially when hungover. I would definitely try to come on a Tuesday/Thursday for their $12 combo deal.

We wanted to experience and respect the uniqueness that is Australia! Why not start with the…read moreamazing, unique, local "Burger With The Lot!" Mostly served by takeaway spots, I luckily found a unique restaurant right on the beach 30 minutes from Sydney that served it! We talked about it for weeks and this was our first meal out in Sydney! Expectations were high! We were excited! The restaurant is upstairs via a barely marked hallway. We found it and ordered and relaxed...with anticipation... The burgers came out, mine was gluten free and without cheese. Holy massive Australian continent! They were huge! Burger With The Lot contains fixings like tomato, bacon, lettuce, cheese, sauces and a perfectly fried egg, grilled pineapple and sliced pickled beetroot. I kid you not! We dove in. The beef is amazing natural grass feed favored in Australia. It's not as fatty as the grain fed, unnatural stuff we get in the US. Different and healthy is good! Every expectation was met! We were happy travelers! But, before I forget, the fries! They are called chips but look like what US folks know as fries. The cool part is they come seasoned with Chicken Salt, which is the favorite chip seasoning in Australia! It's quite different but also quite good. Life is good when a culinary dream comes true and lives up to the hype!

5 stars for the location and view 3 stars for the food…read more The restaurant was on the 3rd floor. We took the elevator up. The views were amazing. We sat on the outside balcony overlooking Manly beach. There were many gluten free options. We both ordered the gluten free barramundi fish sandwiches. For an extra $8 you can get a drink (soda or water) and side of fries with your sandwich. The fries were cooked with other gluten items so I couldn't eat them but they look crisp and fresh The sandwich was ok but I asked for no sauce since I try not to take too many risks when eating out. The sandwich probably would be better with gluten sauces and breads. The servers were all nice and understanding of all my questions. I would come back for the view and I didn't get sick so I felt they really tried to help this celiac out!

Momo Bar is our go-to spot whenever we're in the Manly Beach area visiting family from the U.S…read more The menu has a great mix of fresh rice bowls, salad bowls, poke bowls, and dumplings... everything tastes clean, vibrant, and genuinely fresh. It's one of those places where it's hard to choose because so many options sound good, and the quality is consistently solid across the board. Service has always been excellent in our experience... friendly, efficient, and welcoming without feeling rushed. The outdoor seating is another highlight, especially on a nice day; there's plenty of space to sit and enjoy the beach-town atmosphere. On a separate note (and honestly pretty important for travelers), it was surprisingly frustrating trying to find reliable restaurant reviews in Sydney the way we're used to in Los Angeles. Yelp really needs a stronger presence there... it would make discovering great spots like this so much easier. Overall, Momo Bar is an easy five stars for us. Fresh food, great variety, good service, and a relaxed setting... we keep coming back every time we're in Manly.

Bought the ticket headed over to the corso in Manly and braced myself for delight. Dogs are a specialty of mine. Having lived in Chi-town for many years, my affliction for an all beef frankfurter on sesame seed bun, runs deep. (The hot dog is topped with yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers and a dash of celery salt. The complete assembly of a Chicago hot dog is said to be "dragged through the garden" due to the many toppings. I digress. With about 10 options at the hotdog man - I finally chose the pork and fennel dog topped with sauerkraut, and mustard as it resembled the Chicago style I love so much. Unpacking this puppy was pure yellow happiness. Biting in you get a fluffy bun, salty sausage, sour crunch with homemade pickle. Super messy and Devine. And the tots. Can anyone. Truly get through. Eating tots with out quoting Napoleon Dynamite? Didn't think so! Will def be returning for the Spanish chorizo.

The BOSS (Black Angus Beef Patty, Smokey Bacon, Fried Egg, American Cheddar, Kewpie Mayo, Sriracha Hot Sauce) I don't remember liking it this much, and I preferred my hot dog better. The thing I do remember about this place was how awful the tater tots were. They were the most disgusting tater tots I ever had. I only ate one and the end. They were dry and hard as a rock. I would come here for a hot dog and that's it.

Even if we needed something, it was super easy to flag someone down and they were able to get whatever we needed quickly. It's a very casual place with a fairly casual menu, and prices start at $15 for a main up to $35 for a plate for two. On average, expect to spend $17-$18 for a main, before drinks or starters. I did love that the cocktail prices were slightly below average for the area! Most cocktails were around $14-$15. Unfortunately, I didn't partake in one to be able to tell you if they were worth the price! We both definitely enjoyed our food. My guy said his soft shell crab was good, and I enjoyed fish and chips. It was a perfect portion, considering I was starving. The chips were actually some of the better ones I've had in this country! I liked the slightly battered taste and texture to them. The fish was super moist, and really crunchy. It might have been closer to 5 stars if the batter had more flavor. The tarter sauce was also good, and I LOVE when a place has ketchup/tomato sauce right on the table and doesn't make me pay for it.

The quality of the food is good: I recommend fish and chips but not burgers, especially beef burgers. It says "home made patties", but it tastes like frozen meat. It doesn't taste like real meat. That is the only thing I didn't enjoy from this place. So go get fish and chips but not burgers!
