I always order a quarter chicken & chips and I LOVE ! Great price too Every time i go I’m greeted with a great smile and efficient service . Can’t beat the chips anywhere else
Wonderful, friendly staff and delicious, always fresh food.
We used to get food from here with my family, now I have a family of my own, we get dinner here when I can’t be bothered cooking!
Thanks for always exceeding expectations 🙂
Worst customer service ever. I walked in at 8:10pm while they were getting ready to close the shop. I ordered 1/4 chicken for $4.80. I handed my eftpos card over to which i was told it was a $5 minimum. I asked if they could put it though just this time, as I didnt have cash, nor did i want anything else. I was told I have to order a potato cake or something else to push the transaction over $5 otherwise I cant order.. So i walked out without buying anything and will not be coming back. I was a regular customer and would drive past 3 other charcoal chickens just to get to this one. This place would now rather refuse to serve a customer over 20c than keep a returning customer happy.
This used to have very good chicken and great chips. They still have very good chicken, but their chips seem to have downgraded somewhat. They are still nice and crunchy but the thickness, and age of the oil seems to have declined a bit over 2-3 years. To me the chips make the chicken shop. I used to travel to Nicks Chicken from south Yarra to north Balwyn (30-40 min drive) because of their incredible chips. And they WERE incredible. Hopefully these guys pick up a bit and they could turn this rating around.
So we were expecting big things from this place because of the rating and great reviews on how good the chicken is here. However we were a bit disappointed.
On arrival we noticed that the shop was super clean which was different for a chicken and chips joint so we have to give them that. There was also a decent amount of tables and chairs for eating in which is what we normally do.
I ordered a quarter chicken with 2 salads and Davin got half chicken with the 4 salads. We also got a small scalloped potatoes. The chicken skin was indeed quite crispy and flavoured and the meat was tender and moist however it was lacking flavour and was quite plain without the skin. It felt like it needed to be marinaded for perhaps a longer period so that more flavour could get into the meat.
The salads were fresh and they did have a good range to choose from with fresh herbs ranging from a Greek salad, pasta salad, mushroom salad to even a fruit salad! The scalloped potatoes were nice and creamy, you could taste the onions and cheese in it. However the chicken which was supposed to be the highlight, was a bit of a let down. Would we go back? Probably not unless we lived in the area and it was out of convenience.

As far as roast chicken goes for take away, this is as good as anyway where. That may sound bad but I have been to some places where that really isnt the case.
The staff are quick although sometimes they get confused as to whether they can give us only the dark meat. We ask as no one eats the white meat in our house and why let it go to waste? Other than that they do their best in dinner rush which can get hectic. So do not expect friendly barter during these times, it gets busy.
My personal favorite, as is most for people in the area are their chips. Still the best chips with chicken salt locally.
Poor service, tight salad servings and dry chicken. We went here as it had good review, however we found the lady who served us to be really rude and unfriendly. We ordered the $15 take away pack for two with 1/2 chicken, chips and a greek salad. In the the Greek salad there were 3 pieces of tomato and cucumber and covered in lettuce. The chicken was dry and cut up into random portions and the chips we just threw out as they were terrible. We are highly disappointed and feel very ripped off. Never again, thank you
