Book NowAbout Sammys Charcoal Chicken
Sammys Charcoal Chicken delivers smoky, coal-roasted meats and heaping portions that make highway pit stops genuinely worth the detour. Meats roast directly over hot coals before hitting the counter—lamb gets chopped and crisped on the griddle, while whole chickens pick up a rich, charred edge. Road-trippers drop by for massive mixed souvlakis packed with garlic sauce, towering burgers, and potato scallops that outshine standard highway fare. There are picnic tables outside for a quick feed, while the kitchen accommodates coeliacs with gluten-free stuffing and a separate chip fryer on request.
- Smoked Over Real Coals: Meats like whole rotisserie chicken and lamb turn over genuine solid coals rather than gas, giving souvlakis and platters a distinctive charred crust.
- Coeliac-Friendly Takeaway: Roast chicken features gluten-free stuffing, and coeliac-safe chips can be requested straight from a dedicated fryer.
- Generous Value Feed: Generous packs come loaded with salted chips, thick gravy, and crisp salads at roadside prices.

Authentic Charcoal-Cooked Meats

I'm a sucker for the souvlaki, especially since its cooked over hot coal the traditional style.

Before you head over
Practical advice on dietary accommodations, seating, and peak times
Request Coeliac-Safe Chips
If ordering for coeliac dietary needs, ask staff for chips prepared in a separate fryer, as gluten-free chips are not the default preparation.
Plan for Takeout or Outdoor Seating
The shop has no indoor tables; plan for takeout or use the outdoor picnic tables in the shopping precinct, which may be exposed in colder or hotter weather.
Expect Occasional Queue Times
Generous portions and charcoal cooking can lead to queues during peak times, so budget a few extra minutes if ordering during rush periods.
