Before you head over
Practical timing and ordering advice for visiting Shooter in Carlton
Arrive early for breakfast rolls
Popular morning options like the breakfast rolls frequently sell out, and early breakfast items like the egg bun require arriving early before morning service wraps up.
Anticipate 10-15 minute wait times
With high customer volumes during busy service periods, orders for sandwiches and drinks can take 10 to 15 minutes to be freshly prepared.
Dine in for sauced biscuit sandwiches
Heavily sauced items like the fried chicken biscuit soften rapidly during transit; eat in or unwrap promptly to preserve the crust and biscuit texture.
