The loaded spuds cost around $14 but come in a generous portion size with a satisfying mix of ingredients. I found that I could get 2-3 meals out of one spud when getting takeaway or delivery, and I always left feeling satisfied. You can choose your own ingredients, with options like meat lovers or chicken avocado. The friendly staff take a few minutes to prepare your spud by chopping it up with scissors before adding toppings, so there may be a wait during peak times. Overall, a great spot for delicious spuds that won't break the bank, just make sure you can resist eating the whole thing in one go.

The spud is very creamy and soft with a subtle hint of garlic butter.

You can choose between potato or sweet potato or both as a base for your salad, and then topped it up with whatever you fancy. For what seems like a really compact-sized box, it was heavier than it looks and was an  incredibly filling meal. I now understood how Matt Damon survived on potatoes in Mars (see: The Martian). <br/ <br/ It wasn 't just the starchy potatoes that left me bursting at the seams, it was also the generous amount of toppings covering the potatoes. In fact, when I first opened up the box, I couldn 't see any potatoes, and had to dig deep to reach them. While nothing spectacular, the ingredients were fresh and the flavours were well-rounded.<br/ <br/ The lovely server who handled my order was extremely helpful and thoughtful. My initial order was not available, so I told him to 'surprise me ' for my replacement order, and he was mindful enough to make the replacement order as identical to my initial order as possible.

I just ordered and the girl who ordered infront of me got a whole lot of toppings and I barely had enough to even finish my meal. The inconsistency of what staff provide is ridiculous. She didn’t even know what went in my bowl let alone the tiny servings she did put on there, dissatisfied in the service I received today!
