I went out of my way to try one when they first came to Australia, and underwhelmed is an understatement.
It’s basically Hungry Jack’s, but somehow worse.
I remember trying Oporto when they first opened a store in Chapel Street. A good friend of my ex-gf insisted we try a burger at this joint that’s like Nando’s but 1000x better.
Even as we were trying to find parking at midday in the side streets of South Yarra, insisted it would be totally worth it.
(This would have been around 2004-ish?)
I was dubious, but went along for the ride.
And I remember that it was actually not that bad.
And that’s not something I’ve ever felt eating their food since then.
@mysticgreg Unfortunately, they’re now owned by the same conglomerate that turned Red Rooster into a home brand KFC knockoff. And also Chicken Treat (ask your friend from Perth, they’ll tell you).
@mysticgreg @Baku Not surprised about Carl’s Jr.

I thought it was just me!
Definitely not just you! If I ever get my hands on a time machine one of the first places I’m heading is Brighton Le Sands Oporto in 1998!
