The chicken burgers are sloppy but very tasty while their selection of salads change daily are the bomb. Not too heavy on the dressing. There were so many salads to choose from that I decided on 3 different kinds. You can pick 3 to fill up a serving (for people who cannot decide). Try their chips with chicken salt and they even have their own hot sauce that packs a punch. Whoop! Very affordable and ample seating both in and outside. Location is superb by the beach. There is also another location at Belrose shopping centre.

You have to try the Portuguese Chicken Burger.... AMAZING! I…read morewas there 3 days ago and I can't stop thinking about that burger, hence this review. It reminded me of the original Oporto's in North Bondi when they were independent in the pre-franchising days, but much better. They have a lot of fresh salads as well as these amazing tenderloins. It's a bit of a drive from my house but I will find a reason to make it out there again.

They don't have any other condiments and the burgers (and roast chicken) are bland. Don't bother trying them out.

The burgers are always fresh and amazing. Order the Mona burger with chilli. Emphasis on the chilli as well, they forget sometimes and it really does make the burger. These are some of the best burgers on earth.

The name Chookies makes me fee weird. Not sure why, maybe because it reminds me of a…read morepartially-formed chicken, or because it's trying to be too cute. Either way. The burgers here are pretty damned good, on account of the home-made chilli sauce they smother all over them. A lot of places give you only the barest smidge of their home-made kick-sauce which I think is pretty tight 'cus that stuff makes a chicken burger man. But Chookies does good. Their chips are those long skinny, shoe-string ones that aren't that satisfying when you're craving the big rough-cut bad boys but are perfectly serviceable otherwise. The things that killed me at this joint was the 15 year-old kid working the counter. You know the kind. Skate shoes. Foppish hair. Cockiness smeared all over his face with a painters trowel. He had a couple of little mouthy school mates in hanging out in the store and was making fun of some young girls that had come in. Nothing too unsavory but loud and obvious enough for it to be uncomfortable. Where do these kids get their undue sense of entitlement from, huh? Yeah, I know that makes me sound old. What of it.

When deciding what to eat for lunch, my companion described Chicken Kitchen as "a rip-off Oporto…read moretype of place." Be as it may, Chicken Kitchen shines in its own right. OK, shines is probably a bit much, but we did eat there two days in a row* * Both of those days featured brutal hangovers. You know the kind of shop Chicken Kitchen is; there's one in every suburb, typically at a small-ish shopping centre or train station type area. Chicken Kitchen serves up chicken (duh) in its many forms, plus a wide range of Portugese-style burgers, wraps and buns. There are also ample supplies of hot chips, wedges and surprisingly delicious salads. If your hangover doesn't like grease, try the mushroom and pumpkin number. The people working there are very nice, and the queue to order is quite quick. Regrettably, the wait for your stupid stressful buzzer thing to go off is not so quick. It's not too bad, but on busy beach days the wait can be slightly ridiculous. The food is kind of expensive for what it is; not actually expensive, but $11 for a generic burger, small chips and a soft drink verges on outrageous in my books. However, the premises are sparkling clean, the food is tasty and the staff pleasant. It always draws a crowd.
