How we read reviews →Footscray's favourite charcoal chicken shop. spit-roasted chooks, thick chips, legendary gravy.
Nostalgic, time-capsule Aussie chicken shop with run-down charm, a welcoming sole operator, and zero pretence. pure comfort food in an industrial Footscray strip.
Spit-roast charcoal chicken cooked to order by a single owner-operator; dine-in served with real plates, knife, and fork rather than disposables; double-fried chips available on request; seafood menu alongside the core chicken range; available via DoorDash.
A genuinely old-school Australian charcoal chicken shop. a dying breed. The same owner has run it for 20+ years, preserving a style of takeaway that feels lifted from the 1980s.
Outstanding value. half chicken around $12.50, whole bird around $21-$30 (feeds a small group). Well below city restaurant prices for the quality and generosity of serve.
