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.

These are some of the best burgers on earth.

Honestly, there was so much breast meat on this thing that I had to shred it and save it for a second meal. And I never got anywhere close to finishing the chips. Only a couple of tables, and not much ambience. This place is good for takeaway. Everything was well-wrapped in double-layered foil bags, so stayed hot during the takeaway trip home. Value for money.

Chargrill Charlie's is a family owned business that has been operating for over 30 years. Beginning…read morein Coogee, they've branched out and although no longer in Coogee, they've got 11 venues across Sydney and open 7 days a week. We visited our closest store, the Woollahra venue. It is both a dine in and takeaway venue and they are always super busy. This is testament to just how good the food is. At first it might look like your typical charcoal chicken shop, but it is much more than that with amazing salads, veggies, burgers and desserts and it will have you salivating for more. From the charcoal grill, their chickens do not have hormone injections and they are beautifully chargrilled, and seasoned with herbs and spices or marinated with Portuguese flavours. Of course it wouldn't be the perfect meal without fries. You can get their nicely seasoned French fries chips or their famous hand cut potato wedges or sweet potato wedges. We tried them all and can't choose our favourite They use the freshest of ingredients and seasonal produce to make their famous salads, made in house everyday. They will suit a range of crowds and we tried the poke salad, Buddha salad and roasted cauliflower. The Golden quinoa salad was also an absolute winner. There's a hot menu with a lot of choice - from baked salmon, chicken drumsticks, meatballs and curry to casseroles and Lentils. We had the amazing lamb shanks and mixed roasted vegetables and they were a great accompaniment. As we were here for a huge spread, we both got a burger, the chicken and also a cheeseburger. Free range chicken and grass fed beef, fresh butter lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, secret sauce on a milk bun - these were delicious - and huge! We tried the piri piri sauce and lemon and herb dressing which we also enjoyed. They have sweets and desserts too, and although we didn't try, because we were full; the home made apple pie looks like a winner. Chargrill Charlie's does catering as well if you're keen to order a bunch of food for your office meeting, picnics or even private functions. When you arrive it may appear slightly overwhelming with so many people trying to get the Chargrill Charlie's fix. But don't fret, the service is easy. Take a number and wait your turn, service is extremely fast. They also have an app where you can earn store credit and even purchase Chargrill Charlie's hoodies, hats and bags to feel like a part of the team.

Want to dine out like a star? Then come to Chargrill Charlies! This casual take-away chicken and…read morerice and salad joint is - and the whole thing is kind of hilarious - "Celebrity Central" as evidenced by the photos along the wall with pictures of movie stars and talk show shosts dropping in (Oprah! Hugh Jackman! Russell Crowe!) which, who knows, maybe gives it a bit of food industry-cred. But nevermind the celebrities (really, don't mind them) because the food is what everyone is there for (ostensibly, because, again, who knows?). It's cheap, quick grab-and-go food. You can get a quarter or half chicken and be on your way or put a bun between the chicken with lettuce and tomatoes to make a chicken burger or you can put it in a long roll or you can get the Indonesian rice with chicken schnitzel or get a half chicken or a whole chicken with wanton salad or avocado salad or pesto pasta or roasted potatoes. Whatever you want. Take note, though, there are only a total of about 4 seats here so make other arrangements for seating if you can. And take a number if it's busy. Don't say I didn't warn you.

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.
