Fairly limited menu but what they have, they do very very well. Juicy charcoal chicken and beautiful scalloped potatoes and my roll was crusty and delicious. So so good.
I've been buying food from this shop for a good 15 years now. I started when I used to come home from high school, on the way back Carnegie way from my school bus I'd pop in for a mini chips. Then as time went on as an older kid I got the 1/4 chicken chips deal and it was always a treat with gravy, and the best chicken salt around. I still pop in time to time when I head home from work via the station, and you guessed it still as good as it always was. Whole chickens perfect to take home and share with the partner and enjoy for a hearty dinner. Chips to die for, great condiments and always an on point soft drink selection (all the rarer stuff - bundy varieties, kirks, dr pepper.
Love, love, love this place! This easy-to-miss chicken shop is an absolute gem in Glen Huntly. In a pretentious restaurant scene where you can spend up to $20 for eggs on toast this place is an oasis of down-to-earth sanity. This friendly husband and wife team do one thing well and that thing is making delicious chicken at a price point your wallet will thank you for. Not only is the chicken always fall-off-the-bone good but the portion sizes are always very generous. My wife and I have our fill with the charcoal pack ($10) and and extra quarter chicken ($5). Seriously, where else can you feed two people for $7.50 each?! My feeling is that haven't changed their prices since the 90s and I'm absolutely okay with that. Even if we move out of the area at some point, I think we'll still make the trek for some juicy chicken.
Bonus points for being one of the few places that has Dr. Pepper.
My one minor quibble is that even though their pricing is stuck in the 90s (a good thing) so is their packaging which means they still use environmentally unfriendly styrofoam boxes. C'mon guys, get with the times.
The best charcoal chicken ever!!! Super tasty and the serving sizes are so generous, would seriously pay more than the asking price! I love the couple as well!! They look always happy!!
Really tasty and succulent roast chicken! We were surprised at how delicious it was. You'll pay slightly more than you would at a supermarket, but it's worth it!
LOVE the chicken here! Not too oily, and priced pretty reasonably. Sides are always packed to the brim. We don't buy roast chooks often enough, so can't really say much about the different menu items.. We usually just get a simple whole chook and are happy for it.
Love the atmosphere, the staff is attentive
Always very quick in serving.
Very consistent taste.
Would definitely recommend.
Came here on sat night.
This time my brother was the one raving about this place and said if I worked near there, I just had to go. I have gone several times in the last few months and am never disappointed. The lady behind the counter is friendly and knows many patrons by their name. Regulars are a great sign!
Like it!. Great chips, good chicken and scalloped potatoes
Mmm chips. The chips and chicken are so good especially the chicken salted chips but the salads are on the average side
