Maroubra Charcoal Chickens

They've jacked up prices along with the other chicken shops around here, $9.50 half/$16 whole, but that's still about the cheapest in the east and it's definitely the best charcoal chicken that I've found around here, a little chewy but mostly juicy with a great charcoal flavour, although also very salty.

We have been getting their charcoal chickens since...something like 1994. Yes, I am old. Back then, it was run by a Greek husband and wife team. My family love their charcoal chickens and the herb stuffing is delicious. Sadly, I witnessed on multiple and separate occassions, the man/owner abused his non-English speaking customers, as if punishing them for not being able to speak English properly. Later on, they introduced the pork cracklings and they are crispy and tasty. As years gone by, the couple were gone and it is now run by... non native English speakers . Aside from the past customer service history, the food has been consistent. I hope that man (I can still picture him) became a better person.

Worst chicken chips ribs. I’m worried about getting sick tomorrow. Cold stale hard. Shouldn’t be allowed.

Chicken roll is average. Bread not fresh. Not offensive but below par. And won’t go back again. Can speak for the rest of the menu.

Their charcoal chicken and pork crackle are delicious. Quite small shop. It looks like most customers do takeaways. But they have several small tables and chairs, so customers can eat inside the shop as well. I boil the chicken bones to make soup after the meat is consumed. The soup is delicious too.
