I love the stuffing they use here, I never used to eat stuffing- but since coming to this place I would honestly be happy to just buy a bag of stuffing from them. Every time I come here I also get their scallop potato, it's so creamy and yummy! This chicken joint also does soulakis, I have yet to try it but it always looks very juicy. The usual suspects such as chips, hamburgers, and snacks can be ordered here too. They also have a variety of salads, tiramisu and a rice pudding available, but I never get them because they look a bit old. If this place is local to you I would recommend if for their great charcoal chicken (and stuffing!).

One of my favourite ways to have a relaxing lunch of a Saturday or Sunday is to grab half a…read morechicken, a few rolls, and kick back in front of the TV watching the footy. It's a great way to unwind after a busy week. When I'm lucky enough to be able to do this, the place that I get my chicken is Waverley Original Charcoal Chickens. The chicken itself is nicely cooked, still fairly tender and juicy. If you're after chips as well, this place is pretty good. They also do souvlakis, but I have yet to try them here. The service is pretty reasonable. It's a good place to get cheap but nice takeaway.

Customer Service: Not very friendly, but they were efficient with their service. Food: I ordered... Flake (5.80) Chips (4.00) Tartare Sauce (0.90) Yeah - watch out and please note that their fish & chips do not come with tartare sauce so be sure to make note that you'd like to have it as a side! The fish & chips were alright. The chips were okay but I felt that the fish was a bit too overcooked for me (the batter seemed a bit burnt). --- Overall, this place definitely isn't that great, but it still does the trick so I'm satisfied. I'd come here again.

Grimey but tastey…read more You wouldn't come here for the ambience, but the food ain't bad for your all-in-one type fish n chip shop.. They have - - Sushi - Chinese food - Fish Burgers - Calamari wraps And of course all your fish n chip goodness. Chicken burgers aren't much too look at but they're tastey. Burgers are good and fish n chips are as good as any. Good local.

I used to love it but my last 3 visits have been way below par. The potato cakes I ordered were…read morevery thin, very pricey, just not good enough. The fish was, on several occasions, 3 small pieces soaking in fat and overcooked. Not normal, so don't know if it's staff changeover or what. Not happy, will try one more time because I still remember my first visit was a 10.

While it may badge itself as a fish and chip shop, Hunky Dory is certainly not your typical shop…read more In fact it is more of a high class fish and chip shop, and while they offer takeaway, they also have an eat in experience, which actually is really helpful, especially if you don't actually have anywhere to take the meal. The other thing that I have noticed is that they don't to the standard battered fish, but rather have a number of options, as well as topping, which are actually quite delicious. The problem is that you can't really eat it with your hands - well, you can, it is just you will land up with really greasy hands. Oh, and the chips aren't bad either.

It's the cleanest fish n chip shop you're likely to ever step foot in. And the fish and seafood is all fresh! The new owners have a big emphasis on fresh food, cleanliness and healthy food (well, as healthy as it gets with fish n chips!!), so the oil is clean and food non-greasy. A great and delectable selection of seafood, the fish and calamari are to die for and the range of salads go down a treat and complement the fried foods! Wonderful to find such a proud and appetising take out shop in the area!

TAKE-AWAY IS BAD FOR YOU! true---but we couldn't resist anyway…read more We absolutely could have walked around the corner and just go, by foot, for some fish and chips. But if we got into the car during peak and headed here, there' s something to be said! Barramundi was excellent!!! Flake fish was quite alright as well. Very very good fish and chips had here.... we drove all the way through traffic just to get to this little humble joint, very close to the corner of Katandra and busy busy North Road in Ormond. All sorts of local fish ready for the ordering (and we tried 3 kinds) many of which I had never heard of. Prices are $$ for an American standpoint, but I'm telling you... it was quite tasty. We ordered a big box of chips with our fish. Not the fastest service, but for one who misses UK's fish and chips, I'd much rather have it done right. And oh it so, so was. Chips were so good (though frozen, not fresh), we reheated in the oven for the following day. A dive of a joint, among a strip of some dowdy, not-kept-up shoppes. Hope you bring a book or browse online while waiting! PS On north side of North Road. Very near Katandra!

While you wait you can soak up what appears to be the original 80's decor while reading magazines that might well be a similar vintage. Even inflation hasn't seemed to have made much a dent. A hamburger with the lot for $6.50 in 2012. Eh? Most importantly though, the food is like the fish and chips I grew up with. Don't come to this place for modern, artisan, gourmet, overpriced, panko crumbed, tempura battered, hand cut, pommes frites de blah blah. This is the destination for good old fish and chips, like the ones you used to pick up on your Mongoose BMX. Of course you can also order the more exotic items like potato cakes, dim sims, chicko rolls, crab sticks etc. if you're into culinary adventure. The straight forward food philosophy has also been applied the hamburgers and souvlakis. I'm not sure what variety they use, but the oil is clean so it doesn't taint the food. They also have it at the right temperature so the chips are crispy on the outside, moist in the inside. The fish batter while not the lightest in the world is freshly applied to the fish, which also seems fresh. If you eat it soon after it has been prepared you will not be disappointed. The older guy on the grill doesn't talk much, but the service from the women in the blue aprons is quick and reliable. I for one am hoping time continues to roll past this one.

Recommend this place from a friend for well priced and decent! And wow was she right! Entering to this shop you will see a beautiful array of seafood laid on a bed of ice! Fresh and looks amazing. I ordered the meal with fish (flake) chips and a choice of salad (I went with Greek). Sauces came included with a beautiful tartare and sweet chilli sauce! Food came in a short time, look and tasted amazing! Well presented grilled fish cooked to perfection and tasted so fresh, a fresh wedge of lemon and nicely made Greek salad! I was really impressed with this place, service was nice, price was decent it was just what I needed! Highly recommend :-)

My initial experience was not too bad The food is good for what it is and a welcome relief from the usual late feed. Got the vegan Weiner and wasnt that impressed however with the food itself. Chips were also a bit weird. Kinda soggy and the sauce were a bit meh Staff were super friendly to be fair and decent vibes to accompany the rusty interior aesthetic. Pretty sure they missed another order when I came back a second time. They tried to resolve the issue via FB messenger but it kinda just became radio silence after awhile In summary; not terrible :p

We stumbled across Massive Wieners 25 inch hotdog challenge - so we went to give it a go! The venue is easily accessible via public transport, with tram stops and Prahran train station nearby. It is a cute venue set up like an old American-style hotdog place. We found it entertaining to browse around at all the photos of people that have tried the challenge on the walls. Both staff members we dealt with on were extremely friendly, particularly the owner. He was very sociable and made the whole experience better. They also have vegetarian/vegan options so everyone can have a try! The hotdog really was HUGE! We thought it was pretty great value, as it was only $15.00 - with the allowance of two condiments and unlimited water. The hotdog was really tasty, and had a really nice flavour. There was a very generous amount of sauce, which is definitely needed to complete the challenge successfully! The bun was nice too, but unfortunately both of us succumb to the sheer size of the hotdog - meaning we landed a spot on the 'Did not finish' wall. It was a fun experience despite the serious feeling of fullness for the rest of the day. We look forward to going back to Massive Wieners and trying some of their delicious sides. Check them out!
