Book NowAbout Caroline's House of Chicken Cafe
Caroline’s House of Chicken Cafe is the classic alpine highway refuel, dishing out hot roast poultry, crunchy chips, and towering burgers in Mansfield. It is the go-to pit stop for snow hounds rolling off Mount Buller or campers heading into the bush. Regulars line up for the schnitzel burger with the lot, seasoned waffle fries, and cardboard trays of chips smothered in rich gravy and melted cheese. Out front, shaded tables make an easy perch to split a feed with the dog while sipping an iced slushy.
- High Country Roadside Fuel: A staple alpine road-trip pit stop for schnitzel burgers with the lot, roast chicken, waffle fries, and iced slushies.
- Shaded Dog-Friendly Seating: Covered outdoor tables offer casual, dog-friendly seating for groups and road-trippers taking a break in transit.
