Best fried chicken burger in Melbourne. Anybody that loves a spicy burger needs to try this place out. 10/10.
Always so consistently good! This place is absolutely my go to for hot fried chicken. No other places can meet my spiciness requirements as much as Belles. I’m so glad I don’t live so close to Belles, otherwise I’ll probably eat here everyday.
Watching American food documentaries has left me hanging for southern style fried chicken. I’m not usually a big fried food fanatic so I hadn’t tried Belle’s and I hate myself for it. The service was great, the diner was so cute and the chicken was delicious. The sound of three wings didn’t seem like much but I insisted we order a set each first and not dive into the 16 wing bucket. (Thank the lord I said that). The three wings were a decent serving, came with a side as well. I ordered the hot wings and yam salad and bf had the medium wings with chips. As I was hissing my saliva as I ate the chicken I could hear the waiter explain to another table that the medium isn’t spicy and then there’s a huge jump to the hot. The heat was manageable but don’t order it if you can’t handle spice! The chips were amazing! Dare I say perfect? The yam salad was so refreshing and great match with the fried chicken. Will definitely be back!
I came for the limited time Hot Cheetos menu and ordered the chicken burger and mac & cheese with marinara sauce. The chicken burger was very juicy, mac & cheese was well seasoned and the marinara sauce was addicting!
For their normal menu, I tried the Hot level wings. They were very tender and juicy, perfectly seasoned as well!
I will definitely be back for more wings 😋
Hot Damn this was a tasty feed..... Crispy southern fried chicken sandwich with a side of Belle's famed Mac 'n' Cheese from @belleshotchicken in Fitzroy.
We needed an in between snack/meal to take us to dinner and Belle’s delivered. Crispy chicken marinated all the way through to the bone and the chicken tenders for the kids were tasty and crispy. The kids loved the Mac and Cheese so much we had to come back the next day and buy two serves.
A must try for fried chicken 🍗 lovers! The chicken is delicious, crunchy and you can choose varying spice 🌶 Legend has it that the restauranteur did a comprehensive tour of America 🇺🇸 and brought back the best chicken! Great selection of drinks too!
Ordered the bucket and the three of us struggled to finish it off. Loved the hot wings. Was crispy on the out and juicy inside. The chips were amazing too. The sauce were good. Nice retro american diner decor and the staffs were amazing.
I had only tried at Belles hot chicken in the food court at Collins square and the chicken sandwich there was amazing! Amazing enough to convert me to choosing a chicken burger over a beef burger at a burger restaurant.
This establishment proved no different . Amazing chicken burger . Great coleslaw and salty chips. Try out the different dipping sauces.
The venue had the old skill 1950s diner theme going and friendly service .
Best chicken burger place in town!

Now, I am no stranger to the famous Melbourne fried chicken staple and institution that is Belles Hot Chicken. It seems that whenever I’ve visited I was so focussed on the food that I completely forgot to take photos... so here is my belated review after about 4-5 visits to the various different store locations.
This particular visit, our party of 3 decided to attempt the Hickory BBQ chicken ribs and the baller bucket: 16 wings, 4 sides and 4 sauces. We got the wings in “medium” (which is not spicy at all but a oily, salty coating of flavour). For sides we got the fries, coleslaw, pickled vegetables and roasted yam salad while for sauces we got the Mississippi Comeback, ranch, blue cheese and BBQ.
The ribs were marinated in a sweet and tangy BBQ sauce, and were of a good portion size. The chicken ribs and the chicken wings were both juicy and moist, but the outside wasn’t crunchy at all. The coating on the wings can be very salty to some, which is where the dipping sauces come in. They complement the chicken perfectly, and balance out the flavour. The sides were also perfect; balancing out the grease and strong salty flavour of the chicken, they refreshed and cleansed your palate and made you feel slightly less guilty about indulging in a bucket of fried chicken.
My favourite sauce was definitely the Mississippi Comeback, with the BBQ at a close second. I loved all the sides but the yam salad definitely deserves a special mention!
With all this food, my companions and I of course had drinks to help us wash it all down. They opted for wines from the menu, which they said were great. I opted for the homemade lemonade and found the cool sour tang of it refreshing and a great sidekick to the sides (helping wash away the chicken’s salty and oily goodness).
Staff were attentive and friendly, and the vibe was lively and befitting of a Friday evening.
A great option for when you are craving a “dirty feed” and drinks with others.
Absolutely tremendous from the moment I walked in to the moment I rolled out... Staff were wonderful, food delicious and overall price very reasonable.
Been heaps of times before COVID and I'm happy to report that they haven't lost a step.
Please do your self a favour, visit, enjoy and eat some chicken.
Now that was some good Southern style hot chicken. Top marks. Best chicken I've had ever.
I've just moved here from Queensland in February, im loving the food.
Edit: forgot to take the photo before I finished, I got the medium spice chicken tenders, with chips and ranch sauce and my house-mate got hot chicken drumsticks with Blue cheese sauce with Mac 'n' Cheese. We also had a beer while we waited (a very nice malty mid strangth)
5 stars actually isn’t enough. Tantalising, delicious, amazing, inspiring, flavours dreams are made of that is what you will experience here. Your tastebuds won’t know what to compute to your brain as they will be overwhelmed with flavour and beyond any level of taste satisfaction you have ever experienced.
Just stop what you’re doing and come get some chicken please.
This is one of my fav places for hot Chicken and chicken sandwich! The Spice is perfect it's hot without being not tolerable they have the balance just right. The chicken sandwich is amazing the chicken is so tender and juicy and the bun is so light and fluffy.. the potato and gravy is so smooth and Buttery with the gravy being so tasty and salty. It's a must in my opinion!
Had Belle’s from the comfort of home - definitely a nice treat to get through another lockdown!
Ordered the wings & a drumstick (all hot) along with the Mac & cheese! Good sized portions, good heat & flavour and that Mac & cheese was amazing.
The other thing I loved was how hot & fresh the food was - felt like I was at a table and it came straight out the kitchen!
I loved my visit to Belles Hot Chicken. We had the loveliest waitress, super friendly and helpful with what to order, and checked on us to ensure we had adequate water etc. The chicken was delicious, we had the chicken tenders and everyone else on our table also loved their meals including the chicken sandwich and wings. Menu is super easy to order from. Not the cheapest but worth a visit
