Pier Street Charcoal Chicken

Came here for a Friday lunch and decided on the good ol 1/4 chicken pack. $9.20 with a can of drink included, pretty good deal these days. We sat out the front of the shop, chicken was very good, typical charcoal taste with tasty meat falling off the bone. Chips were great, nice and fresh but not enough chicken salt even though I asked for extra. Good quality food all up and friendly service, would come back for sure.

🥪 Chicken Schnitzel Roll You might have noticed already that I’m on a search to find the best chicken schnitzel rolls in Melbourne. Growing up in Altona, this was the go-to Charcoal Chicken shop for everyone, and the roll here was definitely a favourite. A focaccia bread roll with a flavoursome, crispy schnitzel, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo. Service is always friendly, the prices are low and the portions are large. I believe they have changed hands over the past couple of years but to me it still tastes the same. Great hot chips!

We ordered through menulog and received 4 completely raw Chicken Schnitzel rolls, chips that were essentially cardboard, terrible gravy and potato salad. Called the restaurant after having received a refund from menulog to tell them we were given raw chicken, the person on the phone didn't apologise or even sound remorseful. They’re definitely handing out raw chickens left and right. Don’t go here.
