It's perfect as a side with any entrée. Moreover, all burgers are served with fries.
Fish n' Chips
Fish n’ chips is a hot dish of English origin consisting of fried battered fish and hot chips. The presentation certainly earns plus points, but it's really the long, hefty fish chunks with soft, flaky fish meat that gets my nod. It's the melange of textures and tastes - crunch, creaminess and buttery flavors, which come all together in each battered fish slice. The slices of lemon smothered on top of the fish slab doesn't overpower.
Let's face it, everybody loves fries. Vue has got something special. It is naturally-cut from whole potatoes, cooked skin-on, and served hot and crispy with a sprinkle of sea salt for a taste as real as it gets. The zesty and creamy tartar sauce adds kick, but you don't really need to slather on too much to enjoy this plate of comforting fish and chips.
Cheese Krainer
Cheese Krainer is a large sausage filled with small chunks of cheese. The combination of meat and cheese gives this sausage meat creation a particularly fine touch. There’s something strangely mesmerizing about slicing into this sausage and seeing hot, melted cheese ooze and squirt out. The classic mashed potato will surely bring a touch of nostalgia to your meal. This dish is also accompanied by a serving of veggies. All sausages are served with your choice of fries or mashed potato.
Banana Split
When the sweet tooth comes knocking, dish up this luscious dessert. Banana is extremely healthy and delicious. It contains several essential nutrients, and have benefits for digestion, heart health and weight loss. Aside from being very nutritious, it also can be a highly convenient dessert. Vue's banana split is made with three scoops of premium ice cream - chocolate, milk and strawberry nestled between a fried, split banana. Topped with caramel, hot fudge, marshmallows, and of course the signature colossal Maraschino cherry, this dessert is sure to please. You’ll love the taste of banana mixed with the creamy cold texture of ice cream and the rich flavor of hot fudge syrup. Banana split is the perfect addition to your meal.
Watermelon Shake
Quench your thirst while you flaunt that dazzling smile under the scorching sun and get all the fun. We think of watermelon today as that large, picture-perfect, dripping-with-sweet-juice fruit that makes our summer taste buds erupt, but, it is not always that way. Watermelon is actually a nutrient dense food. It provides high levels of vitamins A and C, which both helps the immune system produce antibodies to fight disease and is good for the skin. The antioxidant lycopene is the star player in watermelon, which gives its red lush color. The lycopene is a strong antioxidant that protects your cells against damage and may also boost eye health. In addition to its healthy properties, watermelon is an important part of a healthy diet.
Mango Banana Shake
Mango is one of the most widely consumed fruits in the world, with its unique flavor, fragrance and taste.
