About Martin Street Chargrill Chicken

Free-range Lilydale chicken cooked over open coals anchors this Martin Street staple. No limp potatoes sweating beneath heat lamps—chips here are fried in quick batches, dusted with chicken salt, and piled high alongside South Melbourne dim sims and crisp house salads. It is an honest neighbourhood counter where quick weeknight takeaway comes with genuine banter and generous serves.

  • Chargrilled Lilydale Birds: Free-range Lilydale birds seasoned and grilled over open chargrill coals rather than standard rotisseries.
  • Fresh Batch-Cooked Chips: Cooked in small batches for reliable crunch, finished with savoury chicken salt.
  • South Melbourne Dim Sims: Steamed or fried market-style staples round out classic chicken packs and schnitzel rolls.

  • Crispy Batch-Cooked Seasoned Chips

    Chips are freshly batch cooked on demand instead of wilting under heat lamps or sitting in a bain-marie.

    Chips were freshly batch cooked vs sitting in the baine marie, so were crispy and not at all oily.

Before you head over

Practical ordering advice and timing tips for visiting Martin Street Chargrill Chicken

  • Arrive Early for Daily Fried Chicken

    Daily specials like the popular fried chicken thighs sell out fast, so visit before the peak lunch rush to avoid missing out.

  • Specify Your Preferred Pack Mix

    If you want only chicken without the heavy carb sides, make sure to specify chicken-only when ordering, as meal packs come with very generous chip portions.

  • Request Gluten-Friendly Accommodations

    Staff are accommodating with dietary adjustments like removing bread stuffing from whole chickens for gluten-sensitive diners, so be sure to mention dietary preferences upfront.
