Great Chicken Fillet Burgers especially with a little chilli sauce. Service is good and the place has a good vibe. It's a must if your in the area.
My first experience with them via UberEats was pretty good, only that the chips were a little overcooked. I realise that in this kind of business you cannot please everyone by default, no matter what you do.
However, this time I gave instructions as to how I wanted the order and they followed everything with great care and detail. Clearly they value their customers and ultimately that's what matters to me and this is what ultimately warrants such a high review from me.
Trust me when I say this is the only decent charcoal chicken take away shop that delivers to the inner north. Just be clear with the instructions on your order and I assure you that they will follow.
Delicious chicken, crispy, hot chips that were soft in the middle and a lovely, flavoursome gravy. Reasonable prices and really great value for money. Honestly you cannot ask for more than that.
Well done team!
The first and only thing I have ordered from here is the chicken and avocado salad - and that's because it's divine. Simple (that's how I like my salads) but so tasty, and great value for money.
This is a brilliant chicken shop! The staff were so helpful and their food is homemade and very fresh. We will definitely go back. If you are looking for quality produce and a very reasonable price, I wouldn't look further.
I stumbled upon this actually, like most eateries lately. Look it's a fast food joint but it's actually a good one, nice service and the burger was made just right, fresh buns and beef.. bonus point for presentation.
I ordered the Euro Burger with chips. The serving of fries was just right. Often you have places which give you too much fries you can't find a balance with the bun and the potato.
Great chicken, reasonable prices, different combinations to feed your chicken cravings. I like the fillets with coleslaw and chips. I think they're better than most nandos.
Overall it was a delicious, home-cooked meal that makes you reminisce of your grandmother’s hearty, comfort food. Along with the chatty and caring owners Veera and Charlie, dining here totally make you feel right at home.
Ultimately though, the name Chicken on Lygon doesn’t really do this eatery justice, as it is about so much more than just charcoal chicken. No, the food is not fancy or groundbreaking in any way. But damn, the honest, homely food here definitely gives all these new eateries a run for their money!
Don't know what to cook.....come here. Want a quick bite to eat......come here. All things chicken from burger, wraps and whole chicken. Just like your childhood charcoal chicken but 10 time better.
We are regulars here and come on the nights we can't be bothered to cook. Always get good service and the chickens are always fresh and so yummy. The owner lets you pick whatever chicken you want and will cut it up for you anyway you like. They have fresh salads and roast veggies. My only minor complaint would be the roast veggies are always a bit undercooked and could go another hour or so longer in the oven, but apart from that we are always very pleased.
Clearly the place is under new management, they have had a refurb and are now owned by this real sweet Italian family. The gentleman is really warm and friendly and always makes a point of having a chat. His wife (I'm guessing) is also stocking the fridges with pasta sauces for sale as well as homemade lasagnes and pasta packs (gluten free included) to take home. As a vego I have no idea if the chicken is good but the new salads are delicious and they are also doing frittatas, eggplant parmas and other tasty bits and pieces.I really hope they do well, they are definitely putting a lot of love into the place and trying out new stuff. Just wish they'd get rid of bloody chicken salt!
A decent place, nothing too extraordinary but ok. Looked neat, wrap was fine, coffee was ok too. I will probably come back for some light lunch.
I've driven past this place countless times but never stopped in until now. I was in the mood for some roast chicken and didn't want to cook. They use free range Lilydale chicken, cooked fresh on the rotiserie over charcoals. Nice and tender, with a crisp, salty skin. I'll be back again for sure then next time I feel like a takeaway roast chicken.
Best chicken joint around. Fresh and tasty. With extras like roast veggies, home made strudel, and generous portions. Worth eating in-clean friendly and good tunes.
Love this place. Great service from John and the team a good every-day-good-value-for-money spot. They have a large selection on salads, Lilydale chicken and baked potatoes
Great Chickens, Great Service.. This place, has the juiciest chicken and the best chips. My GF had a salad and for the price the serving was very generous and flavor wise AMAZING. Will be making this place a regular. Chips are also great
I'm a big urban spooner but never write reviews- however I really feel the need to leave one here. I am a very fussy eater- It's really hard to eat takeaway that is healthy and have people do things the way I ask without complaining. The man who looks like he runs the shop was very obliging- giving me exactly what I wanted without batting an eyelid. The chicken, skin and stuffing was AMAZING, the salad was also healthy, fresh and an extremely generous serving, and the burger my bf got was huge and so tasty! This is definitely going to become a regular when we want cheap, easy and healthy takeaway. It doesn't look like much- but please give it a go!!
Really good value for money. All our food was great and really yummy. The lady working there was really friendly. Don't think I'll be roasting my own chicken again!
Great Food But..... Chicken on Lygon has great sandwiches and the roasted chicken is perfect when you are not in the mood to cook and just want something quick. Now for the but, like the reviewer HAH pointed out you actually get what you paid for just not what you ordered. This could be simply corrected by checking the receipt after you pay but the counter person really should be able to ring up what you asked for the first time. Keep in mind the food is excellent you just need to make sure you get what you are asking for.
Great chicken & chips, not so great service. Have been going to Chicken on Lygon for over a year now. They have great salads, chicken, chicken burgers and chips (hamburgers not their strength). However, since the departure of one woman over the summer, it's nearly impossible to order and come out with what you ordered. Time after time a burger is missing, your chips never were entered into the register and even half a chicken (which you discuss at length - in person - how you would like it cut, etc.) never seem to make it into the order and into your take away bag. You either have to commit to being vigilant about checking your receipt after your order, checking your bag when you leave before you get home or (like me) save yourself the stress and call it a day. I may be back, but it's going to be a while...
Alot of people walk past places like this going "oh, no I don't feel like fast food... Keep going" when they're actually wrong. Chicken on Lygon is fantastic for burgers, chicken and chips. I get takeaway from there once or twice a week and it's my favourite takeaway on Lygon Street. The burgers include lettuce, tomato etc. and have seeds on the top of the bun- that's pretty healthy! The chicken is pretty healthy too, you can get a 1/4, 1/2, 1/1 and optional stuffing inside. Ok, so the chips aren't too healthy but they're good value- huge boxes for a small price (you'll never eat all of them) and they taste absolutely delicious. Never, ever had a problem with their food. Recommend it for a huge lunch/dinner.
After moving into the area yesterday I thought I'd get some quick takeaway I tried a chicken wrap with a garlic aioli and it was amazing! Definitely be back
Best chicken take away there is. Best chips, seasoned with chicken salt and always fresh. The chicken is amazing, not dry at all. They have other things available like burgers and wraps. The chicken burger is delicious and HUGE! The service is wonderful, the staff are so friendly. Definitely recommend this to everyone.
Love this place! I live close by and visit a couple of times each week, every time I get the chicken its always so delicious and moist, the rice stuffing is so much nicer than regular stuffing at other places. The chips are salted with proper chicken salt and they must cook to order coz you wait a couple of mins and they're always fresh. I get them with gravy every now and then which is always as it should be. I've had the roast vegies a couple of times which more or less is like a trip to your nan's house for Sunday roast. Beautifull seasoning, have know idea what they do to get the chicken that way but if I didn't work afternoon and evening shifts all the time I'd be in way more often. Yum yum! Tonights take away dinner was absolutely scrumptious :)
The best chicken restaurant, with great real charcoal roasted free range chicken, a great range of wraps and burgers with gourmet sauces, crispy tasty chips, and fresh canned veg free and processed food free salads that knock your socks off. Not your average take away chicken, with swanky cafe decor in house and street tables, porcelain presentation plates for those who eat in, great coffee an some of the best service I've seen in any restaurant, let alone a take away optional one. It takes a great place for me to leave such a review. This place is well worth trying, have been a number of times happily, will be back again and again.
Great value. This is not exactly fast food....
The chicken is slowly cooked over coals and is very juicy. The salads are freshly made and are excellent. The service is always very friendly and eager to please.
It is not your typical take-away chicken joint. Everything is served on proper plates with cutlery, only one aspect that sets it apart from take-away chicken competition.
The Greek salad is a favourite - fresh lettuce, olives, and fetta, and not drowned out with dressing.
We'll be back!
Best Chicken Around!. So lucky to live near these guys, great fresh salads (no seafood extender or canned three beans in sight), juicy chickens with tasty rice stuffing and really friendly service.
The chicken burgers are delicious to!
Cozy little eatery, super friendly staff and reasonably priced food! Generous portion and my food came pretty quickly too.
Got the Chicken & Mayo Roll with snack combo, the bread was perfectly toasted and crisp, yum! Fries are seasoned and tasty too.
Mostly enjoyed the chicken and sides we'd taken away. The chicken had a nice glaze on the skin with good flavour. The meat was moist and nice tasting. The potato and cream side was nice. The Greek salad was a bit blah as were the roast vegetables, ok but blah. The gravy lost the point though it was gelatinous. I can't stand gelatinous gravy.
Truly brilliant experience all-round. Best customer service I have ever had, great hospitality and more importantly the food was amazing. Love the variety with the chicken. Highly recommend.
Lovely coffee and lovely service! Not to mention, the chips are one of the tastiest I've ever had! Will definitely be coming back (:
