About Charlie's Charcoal Chicken & Seafood

Charlie’s pairs classic Aussie fish-and-chip counter nostalgia with hot charcoal chicken—generous, unpretentious, and built for a proper refuel. Expect crisp fish, loaded burgers, and golden chips dusted in chicken salt, served with a wedge of lemon. Behind the counter, the team keeps it moving fast with no-fuss regulars' orders, turning out old-school battered savs, calamari, and hot rotisserie birds ready to wrap in butcher's paper.

  • Dual-Concept Takeaway: Combines rotisserie chicken with traditional seafood shop fare, frying up calamari, potato scallops, and battered savs.
  • Generous Local Value: Portions stay hearty and budget-friendly, from breakfast egg rolls to lunchtime burgers and chicken packs.
  • Decades-Long Consistency: A neighborhood fixture where longtime counter staff recognize regular faces and cook orders to order.

  • Pure Savory Food Focus

    Focused purely on fresh savory food rather than operating an espresso machine, providing quick and satisfying lunch burgers and breakfast rolls.

    They don't serve coffee though you will need to go to one of the other local cafes nearby.
