Book NowAbout The Chicken Salad Spot
Steaming roast chicken, seasoned hot chips, and house tabbouleh anchor this Gladstone Park institution, feeding whole households on an everyday budget. Regulars line up out the door for hefty quarter-bird packs and crisp schnitzel rolls straight from the fryer.

Grab your order via the street entrance, drown the chips in peppered gravy, and take lunch home hot.
