Things to do

An unusual landmark in Reynella is what has become known colloquially as Junk Food Junction or Junk Food Corner. At a time when the fast food market was less saturated, the intersection of South Road, Adelaide and Pimpala Road had all four major fast food outlets:McDonald's, Hungry Jack's, Pizza Hut and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Currently on this intersection there is McDonald's, KFC, Hungry Jacks, Fasta Pasta, Yiros King, Red Rock Noodle Bar, Domino's Pizza and a Caltex service station. The derelict site of the former Pizza Hut building has attracted some local controversy for the amount of time it has taken to redevelop.
