Now, this is one of those more traditional fish and chip shops, but then again which one isn't…read more I've actually been here a couple of times, the first time when I had just arrived in Melbourne, and the second time when I was meeting up with friends for a barbeque, and decided to bring some chips. Well, there is a reason for that and that is that their chips are actually pretty awesome. If fact they are so good we came back for a second lot.

So I stepped of the 86 tram on the way to Terra Madre but didn't want to risk shopping while hungry…read moreso I dropped in to this great suburban fish and chips shop. Its the sort of place where you can get a piece of battered fish and a generous serve of crisp and crunchy chips rapped in paper for just over $10. What I found most interesting was that this place also offered gluten free options, though only at non-peak times, but I thought the consideration for their customers was worth noting. Like any good fish and chip shop, there is a selection of fish and seafood to choose from plus those little sweet extra's such as banana and pineapple fritters. Yum.

The couple that run this place are sitting on a gold mine…read more If you ask locals where they go to get their barbequed chickens 90 per cent of the time they will answer with Lemon grass. This has been a North Balwyn institution since I was a little girl and it shows no signs of closing down anytime soon. You can smell the delicious chickens from a mile away and as soon as you step inside you are overcome with the sight of crispy meals, a huge array of salads and some pretty tasty chips. This is the perfect destination if you can't be bothered with cooking. You can either opt for the unhealthy options: chicken and chips, or try something lighter: chicken and salads. The service is quick and efficient and the staff seem nice enough. You can either eat in, or take away. The setting isn't very intimate or comfortable so I generally opt for the latter.

These guys have been open since I was in pre-school. So thats's like 20 something years. Their…read morequality, service and taste of food has not wavered so many years on. The great thing about Lemon Grass is that their food is just so tasty! They have such a great range of salads also and you can phone in and pre-order your chicken for dinner to beat the dinner time rush. You can taste the freshness with all their takeaway options and if you chose to dine in the service is also super with great chatty staff who always make you feel welcome.

If you're on Swan street about to head to a pub or the train to the footy, the best thing you can…read moredo is stop in here for a meal before the night begins. Spuds and everything Spud related (actually, that's not true, just spuds). Everything you could think of having on a pizza, they seem to be able to put on a spud here. The potatoes are huge and break perfectly, with just enough crisp to the skins and enough heat to melt the cheese before you dig into them. The Moroccan Dahl spud is a definite winner, and the bottled brew they serve here complement your quick bite before it's out again into the night. This is favourite of the few I've been in, and I think it's the low key casual nature of it that wins every time. The tunes have been good every time, and everyone working knows who's playing at the Corner down the road or which pub has the open mic night.

The food is good and resonably priced. They do have beer. I ordered a pulled pork spud and it was…read moredelicious.

Pizza is superb, the titular dough being the star of the show: light, tasty. Toppings always fresh. Haven't eaten any of their seafood yet, but their hand cut chips and potato cakes are out of control. The place is tucked away a little off the beaten track, down Blackshaws road surrounded only by a couple of photography studios and a vintage lowrider bike shop. You owe it to yourself to make the journey and give this place a try, and then tell everybody in the area about how great it is. I don't want this place to disappear just because of its funny location... aaaaand GO!

I always forget to take a picture because I'm too excited to eat my food! The prawn and pesto pizza is to DIE for and calamari is always so fresh. I will never order pizza anywhere else!

What is cool about this place is that they have dine-in options, and a good beer selection as well…read more Then again, since it is a fish & chip shop down in St Kilda, I sort of expect that it would have a dine-in option, unless you want to take away and go and eat it down at the beach. I didn't do that though, but rather had the rather nice chips, and the well-made fish, inside. Also, I wanted the beer as well. Yeah, this place was pretty nice actually. The staff were great, and they even had options for me to take what I couldn't eat back home.

If there's one thing I know, it sure ain't fish. So, you know, bear that in mind... My experience…read moreat Tommy Tuckers was fine. The service itself was good. I was in early so I only had one person in front of me and I think they'd just turned the fryers on. Friendly staff, pretty fast. I specifically noted that there was a sign on the wall mentioning the fish being fresh each morning. The fish I could see in the displays did not look fresh. I was disappointed. This is where my lack of knowledge comes in, and I wondered if it looking like that mattered. I decided it really didn't look fresh so didn't get any fish. The chips and calamari were good, but over salted. The calamari was tender, but not strong in flavour. Wouldn't not go back? Yeah. Wouldn't not go back.

My mouth is watering just writing this. At every family occasion where there is a chicken involved (and yes there are a few), the question is inevitably asked; "Is that a Pinewood Chicken?" The answer is always yes. I have tried other chickens, and while some are more than adequate, nothing quite matches up to the Pinewood roast chicken. They also do salads which are made fresh daily, and a range of other dishes. The showstopper though, is definitely the chicken. I'd give this place 6 stars if it were possible.

Man this place is good! Pinewood chicken is a local favourite and they do it so well…read more You can get a range of things here: southern chicken, roast chicken (just a bit smokey and juicey), chips, salads, burgers, rolls, gyros and best of all it is reasonably priced. So the next time you don't feel like cooking, try this as it has never been a disappointment.
