Book NowAbout Queen's Charcoal Chicken
Whole chooks turn over real charcoal pits on Argyle Street, drawing dedicated drives across Camden for deep smoke and blistered skin. Regulars detour past closer chicken shops for hot boxes packed with house-seasoned chicken salt chips, rich gravy, and creamy pasta salad. But the inside move is checking the warm trays for Greek-style lemono patates—tender roast potatoes bathed in citrus and herbs.
- Pit-Smoked Rotisserie: Whole birds roast over open natural charcoal pits for juicy meat and crisp, smoky skin.
- Lemon Herb Potatoes: Citrus and herb-steeped roasted potatoes carry Greek takeaway tradition alongside chips.
- In-House Chicken Salt Chips: Hot, crisp fries come dusted in the shop's own savory in-house chicken salt seasoning.

Why Queen's Charcoal Chicken Stands Out
Why Camden locals and travelers consistently choose Queen's Charcoal Chicken.
Tender Charcoal Roasting
Whole chickens are roasted slowly over natural charcoal coals to lock in moisture and produce an authentic smokey flavor.
The chicken was tender, juicy and had a nice smokey flavor from the charcoal.
Darry M In-House Seasoned Chips
Hot chips are fried crisp and tossed in the shop's signature seasoned chicken salt.
The chips are cooked to perfection with their inhouse chicken salt
Mick B Greek Lemon Herb Potatoes
Alongside traditional takeaway chicken, patrons can order Greek-style lemon herb roasted potatoes cooked with citrus notes.
Never had a dry chicken and the lemon herb potatos are the bomb.
Gav Holz Sensory Charcoal Smoke Aroma
Customers are greeted by the mouthwatering aroma of natural rotisserie charcoal smoke billowing along Argyle Street.
smelt the delicious smell of BBQ chickens cooking. I went into this shop and bought a BBQ chicken. What a find!
TheAuthority Worth the Travel Detour
Customers bypass dozens of nearby alternatives to make a dedicated 30-minute return trip for their chicken orders.
It is my go to for chicken, 30 min drive return trip. Probably pass 20 chicken shops to get to this one.
Gav Holz A Dependable Regional Go-To
Locals and visitors alike rely on the shop as a dependable stop for lunch, dinner, or road-trip detours.
A solid GO-TO for lunch or dinner. The best BBQ chicken. Friends from out of area travel for this chicken

Before you head over
Practical ordering and timing pointers from Camden regulars
Ask for the lemon herb potatoes
If you want a traditional side beyond standard chips, look for the lemon herb potatoes (lemono patates) prepared alongside the charcoal roast chooks.
Expect busy Sunday lunchtime queues
Sunday lunch around 12:30 PM is a peak rush period with high turnover; service moves briskly, but ordering your bird quartered or cut into pieces helps with immediate sharing.
Specify your chicken salt preference
The kitchen seasons chips generously with their in-house chicken salt blend; request lighter seasoning at the counter if you prefer less salt.
