I eat there maybe 3-5 times a year. I live nearby. Their chicken both normal and peri peri/split is outstanding. The place is always packed in the early evening as all the goldigger wives need to find something to "cook" for their kings. During lunchtime, early arvo all the Knox and Abbottsleigh school kids are milling around, as are tradies who are doing reno's on the millionaire's houses. Their salads are great and generous, and good variety and really fresh, and also the curries, and lamb shanks. Their Schnitzels are excellent, and the potato wedges are really great. Their Peri Peri sauce is superb. It isn't cheap to get a feed, but the quality and service is excellent. Cheap if you are a local affluent CEO that lives here. Never had a bad experience. Can be a little bit cramped ordering around dinner time there, but everyone behaves well etc. It is an absolute "institution" here in Wahroonga.

Kid-friendliness
They are friendly towards everyone, never an issue, everyone loves this place.

Thought I would order using the Chargrill Charlies app. The app takes your payment immediately and tells you your order will be ready in 15 minutes. It then sends you a message to say order will be ready shortly and to go to the contactless area for collection. Unfortunately when you arrive to collect there is no signage to say where that is on the counter, there are many people waiting around and the staff are busy serving, the number attached to my order on the app is not of the same sequence as the numbers being called out for service - all very confusing! Food good but a terrible process that naturally gets people on edge and spoils the experience. Recommendation - don’t use app to order but take a ticket in shop, join the throng on the street, and wait in turn to be served in the shop..can take a long time unfortunately when store is busy! No way of knowing in advance how long you will have to wait on street ....all too hard...

Ordered on the app and got a notification that the order was ready about 2mins before I arrived to pick up the food. I approached one of the staff on arrival to collect my order who told me to “take a number and wait your turn”. After waiting 10mins my number was called and I was told that my order had not been made yet so I would have to wait for it to be made. I was then approached by a staff member who told me that my order had in fact already been collected by “one of my friends”. I insisted that was impossible as my friends were all waiting for me to bring the food to them at which point she said “just wait then”. The food came out shortly after. The food was of great quality but that doesn’t make up for the terrible service I received

Chargrill Charlie's is one of my favourite on the road lunch spots. Tucked away in Wahroonga just behind the 7-11 there is a large parking area with easy access to the shop. Staff are always courteous, food is always delicious and fresh. Hit peak times and there can be a wait as it is so good. Take a number and wait. There are so many choices I don't think there is anything that is not yummy. Hot food, cold salads drinks and dessert they have it all. My go to choices for snacks are the wicked wings and curry puffs. For meals the schnitzel rolls or bbq chicken rolls. The salads are constant and fresh or the roasted veggies.

Simply the best chicken shop around. HUGE range of hot and cold dishes. Fresh, generous and interesting types of salads to suit all. Excellent chickens, standard or Portuguese. Their roast chicken and riast lamb rolls are GODLIKE, filled to the max, bread always super fresh. Their burgers are great, good distribution of ingredients and very filling. Their curries, noodles, pies and other hot dishes are just, always great, always. You gotta try the drumsticks...that sauce...wow. Chips are shoestring style, wedges are hand cut...they are what they are...always served properly cooked and tasty. The desserts are SO good...the apple/rhubarb custard is life changing. Check the place out. Lots of stuff for everyone. Chicken shops don't get better.

Grossly overpriced roast chicken, roasted veggies and chips. The chicken, especially the stuffing, was very very average. You can get Woolies, Coles or IGA roast chickens tastier, juicer and half the price. $8 for a small roast veggies, which is literally if you count the pieces a whole carrot and potato. Can't eat in if you have kids and need high chairs, there's only a couple of small tables at the front. For some reason unbeknownst to us, it's always packed at night so it's not fun trying to get your order taken either. Very disappointed, recommend you avoid the place.

Ordered two original chicken burgers and a family chips. The burgers were dry and flavourless, could barely see let alone taste any mayo (we had to add our own). The family size fries were almost all entirely overcooked and honestly, inedible. Pictured are the ones that were closest to edible I hand selected and moved to my burger container (and STILL needed some mayo to cover the overcooked taste). $15 worth of destroyed potato (the few on the top were strategically placed after the server saw how bad they were.. we thought he was being generous at the time and filling the bag… turns out it to was to cover 98% of the bags contents) I’m honestly far from picky, but in all seriousness, this was really really bad.

Chargrill Charlie’s is both a dine in and takeaway venue. You might at first look think this is your typical charcoal chicken shop, but it is much more than that with amazing salads, veggies, burgers and more. With 10 venues across Sydney and open 7 day a week, you can easily get your chicken fix! From the charcoal grill, there’s plenty of chickens but don’t forget to grab their chips or their famous hand cut potato wedges. There’s also plenty of salads made in house. On this visit we both got burgers, the chicken and also a cheeseburger. Free range chicken and grass fed beef, fresh butter lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, secret sauce on a milk bun - these were delicious - and huge!

Absolutely poor customer service. Was working near by the shop and went there few times and every single time missed when my ticket was called. Thought maybe I do not paying attention but just today missed ticked two times and was really listening every single word. After staying in the shop for another few minutes realised that they calling numbers to themselves, not to customers. It’s impossible to hear the number if everyone calling number so quietly. Obviously left the shop without nothing and went to other place. They really need to improve this aspect. Do not recommend this place if you on rush.

No common sense with the salads! They don’t give enough dressing. So you ask for “a little bit more.” Then they swamp it’s with 10X the amount of dressing. You say it is too much dressing and they slap you with an angry look. So they make the salad again… but it’s not mixed properly and once again, does not have enough dressing. I have had this fiasco several times. The issue is, the staff who make these salads have never tasted the salads (probably don’t eat salads or vegetables…). So naturally they have no common sense when it comes to the dressing.

A family fave. Love the wedges especially, baked cauliflower cheese and roast pumpkin. Amazing selection of salads and hot dishes other than chicken. A bit on the pricey side and always packed at dinner time. Best to order online for most of your meal and queue up for the bits and pieces not offered online which is a bit annoying but can help with the wait.

Great friendly staff, beautiful food. Bit upset that they were out of the proper crusty rolls when we ordered lamb rolls, given a hamburger bun instead; just not the same and much smaller. Charged the same price. Two salads with barely any of the top stuff, just the underneath lettuce for one and the beans for the other, only one olive in the whole Greek salad! It’s not cheap so expect better. Chips were nice though. Will think twice before ordering here again.

I couldn't believe this place. It's a tiny, order at the counter and either take it away or try for one of the few sidewalk tables kind of place. The selection of meats, salads, vegetables and other dishes is extraordinary. You can choose the size of the container, and they load it up as full as they can. The food was tasty, local, unique and fast, even when the line is long. I wish this place was available near my work in the states. It's reasonably priced, and I'd go there all the time.

Please look into your deliveroo service. I ordered at 12:49, order was prepared at 1:17 by the restaurant and the driver delivered at 2:15 an hour later! I can walk to the place in 15 mins. I've had takeaway here and the food has always been great but due to the delay, the chips were soggy, the drinks were hot and the salads had wilted. As a regular customer I do not want your brand tarnished because a service provider is poor. Please ensure you guys are strict with them.

Excellent food. It's all delicious. Very expensive, but worth it. Some processes need to be ironed out a bit, particularly with app ordering. It's such an understandably busy place it's great to preorder on the app. They just put the bags on the counter without calling out who's order, or what's in it. It means everyone needs to check every completed order. Small issue that I'm sure they'll sort, but a bit annoying to have your food ready without being aware...

It's a hot lazy Saturday, and after a small amount of consideration, decided to get chicken burger combos from here... Won't bother again... Dry chicken ( schnitty and Portuguese). This is the 3rd time we've given the place a whirl for a cheeky takeaway of various kinds... and I can safely say... it sucks. There are far better eateries in the area, so I won't be going there again.

Subpar chicken quality at Wahroonga this evening. Chicken drum sticks were tough and grey, temperate was luke warm at best, chicken skin was gelatinous :( sadly the potato wedges were underwhelming too. It's a shame as I've had Chargrill Charlie's previously and always enjoyed it (the store at Lane Cove specifically). Positives were the avocado, rocket and feta salad as that was ok and the gravy was nice - which made the wedges more edible.

Thoroughly disorganised. Their app does'nt even have a "chicken" on the menu. U have to buy as a family pack. Have obscure items like milshakes, tho. Wait times of 40 mins aren't uncommon. Sometimes food is cold. Dropped the ball. Not enough competition in wahroonga - which is'nt known as a culinary hotspot. wont go back............................................

Delicious and wide range of food, only missing a star as it is quite close quarters in the shop and there can be a bit of a wait. Also the ordering system can be confusing if you trying to use the application, but that isn't the fault of the establishment rather the company should fix that. I also order uber eats from here all the time, despite the high price they are still one of the best value and delicious dinners on there.

it's Always packed with people. Original hamburger - wouldn't get it again. the patty was dry and flavourless. thickness was alright - not too thin. the Source and the onion wasn't enough to overcome the blandness. Lettuce, onion and tomato was fresh. Charcoal chicken - flavour isn't there. I got just the chicken flavour. the texture was ok - dry on the outside, and mostly juicy on the inside. the workers are efficient.

The ordering system here is ridiculous. The time you wait in the cramped space to order is very long. The staff aren’t great and don’t pay attention if you ask for things taken off your burger. Frankly the food is not worth the hype nor the poor service. Also you can never get a table to eat there, so plan on taking away. If your after take out, just go around the corner to burger hounds which is 100 times better food.

What an amazing fast food service. Fresh, abundant food delivered quickly and fairly with a ticketing system

Terrible service and average food. The staff are rude, their managers are even more rude, and they're charging gourmet prices for pretty average quality food. - Nearly $20 for a chicken, and the breast was so dry we couldn't eat it - The schnitzel burger was so dry I had to add my own sauce to make it edible - Their roasted vegetables looked like they had been regurgitated I won't be going again.

Chickens are always great here, it just that the service is always painfully slow. People standing around drumming fingers while someone puts chips 1 by 1 into a bag. Please, it’s take away. Some urgency is required.

Chargrilled Chicken

A local favourite. We almost always get the Family meal pack, whole chargrilled chicken, family sized chips & Caesar salad. Sometimes supplemented with some schnitzels and an extra salad for tomorrows lunch. The chicken are a good size for four people, always moist with a crispy skin, never wet or greasy like some supermarket chickens. Use their App to get the loyalty rewards!

Have been going here for years. Of late though, the service has changed. I've been in twice this week and it wasn't busy. The girls just weren't interested in being polite. A wonderful selection of food available, but disappointed as the roast veggies have honey mustard sauce all over them. I used to love getting a baked dinner with gravy, especially in the winter.

Have loved this place for a couple of years, however, on the last two occasions the Portugese chicken has been raw around the thigh bone. I told them the first time and got a shrug of the shoulders, didn't report the second occurrence and probably won't go back again. When you pay their price for a very small chicken the least they could do is cook it through!

We regularly order here and had a few issues with uber not delivering our food, but the lady was more than happy to chase up the order when we didn't get our food on two occasions. We ended up driving to pick up our food but the lady handled my frustrated husband very appropriately. I am very impressed with the quality of service and food we have got here.

Good food and great service. Be warned they get busy also make sure you take a tickets and wait for your number to be call as you walk in. Price are really reasonable for the quality of food you get. There should be plenty of street parking, if not there is a car park behind the petrol stations on Pacific Highway and it is only a few minutes walk away.

Can someone please open another Chicken Roll/Burger shop around the corner already? I have had a Chicken Roll Combo twice at this place, and have been disappointed both the times. The food was super lame and over-priced at $17.50. On top of that I was asked for extra $2.50 for dips. $20 for that super dull combo? Never ever ever again!

It looks like an innocent little chicken shop, but it is so much more! Remember to take a number when you first arrive, they are busy but they move fast and the choices are delicious for chicken eaters and vegetarians alike - the salads are really good. Very popular after school comes out until about 7pm each evening, so plan ahead.

The salads are amazing. Chicken and stuffing good. Chicken schnitzel burger pretty good too. Fries are so so. The best salads are the chicken caesar and the quinoa. Get a ticket when you arrive, don't queue at the cashier! 3 Salad quarter chicken meal for $20 is good value

Yummy food, but somehow confusing menu and order process for newbies. Every time I feel like I shouldn’t stammer and tell exactly what I want with all the details, be very specific about the name of the salads that is far away than where the orders are taken. Almost like ordering from the “Soup Nazi” . worth it tho. …

If you’re going to charge excessive prices, get your product right. The last 3 visits the food has been horrific. Chips burnt, hard and oily. You have definitely lost it.

Always heaps of their customer’s rubbish all over the street right out front. With the seemingly countless staff, you would think they would take pride in the suburb they work in, and perhaps spend a few minutes picking it up. Also, the attitude and communication could improve. Food is decent enough.

Always love stopping here on my way out of Sydney. It's the tiniest shop and they are always busy but staff are unfailingly friendly and polite. Servings are generous and the food is delicious. Both my partner and I had a 1/4 chicken dinner tonight - could easily have shared. Good value, good food.

Really great Portuguese chicken! Service can be slow but cause it gets quite busy. So factor that into your timings.

Cheese Burger

I am a loyal customer to this particular shop, but today I was really disappointed with the quality of my order. My burger came with a ring of onion, and two small leaves of lettuce. It seems the burgers have a new bun, which doesn't fit the standard I have enjoyed for many years.

Great local spot, best chicken shop in the area. Can be busy at peak times (lunch and dinner through the week and can be busier over lunch on the weekends) but it’s definitely worth the wait. Catering options for functions/parties are exceptionally good quality and well priced.

Over rated and over priced joint! The food is average at best and the service just above par. Tried their chicken and burgers and to be honest, they couldn't hold a candle to the majority of the other eateries. Unfortunately, there are no better alternatives in Wahroonga :-(

We have tried their grilled chicken. Food was amazing and in good quality. But customer service should be improved. Customer is not given time to decide by looking at the food, staff is in a big hurry. I think if they can be more friendly, more customers would be attracted.

I have been going there for years. Noie and Bella are real assets for the company. Keep them there and make sure they are well happy.

The shop is known for its bbq chicken. The best in the region. The shop is always crowded. Very popular. Many other items are available. Pad thai, salads, curry puff, fried rice, baked potato, chicken wings. Chicken are always freshly bbq ed.️ …

The best chicken in town. I highly recommend the Portuguese chicken and chips! They also have a vast array of healthy salads and home cooked meals. Delicious. Take a ticket as they get quite busy at lunchtime. Highly recommended. Delicious schnitzel too.

Normally pretty good except when busy orders get mixed up. Vegie burger is very squishy, wet-like and falls apart. Not a pleasant experience. The meat burgers are better. I would skip the fries & vegie burger . Overall staff are friendly

Worst customer service on the planet! Staff don’t want to take your order and treat you very poorly.

Never coming back again! This place never has burgers anymore. I waited in line for 15 minutes just to be told they don’t have anymore burgers and it will be a 4 hour wait. This happened 2 weeks ago, won’t be returning!! Ridiculous

The salads! So incredible and jammed full of incredible fresh ingredients. Staff are generous with filling containers, ensuring you get heaps of delicious salad of your choosing. Make sure to take a ticket when you arrive.

A great place to pick up some home-style food at a reasonable price. Their roasted chickens are great, but they also have lovely curries and casseroles and other dishes. Their staff are always friendly too ☺

The best chicken shop on the North Shore without question. It is always super busy. Great chickens, chips, pies, veges, salads - huge range. I'd you could buy shares in the place, you should.

I forgot to check the bag when checking out and found the chicken schnitzel was missing. Went back to the shop and they just got one for me without asking. Great service! The food is tasty.

Salads were fresh and dressings are only applied at time of boxing / plating, keeping their freshness. Chicken was juicy and cut to customers request. Thank you

Good range of foods and salads, a bit pricey(price is always going up). They have card surcharge and even last time charged me for plastic bags as well!

Not so happy to find rubbish on the train with their name on. Can't know which outlet, so posting to my local one.

Their chicken game is on point. I would say they have better chargrilled chicken and sauce than nandos!

Dry, over cooked beef burger (no ‘special’ sauce either) over salted fries, zero value. Avoid

Not very covid safe, but great chicken, good salads and tasty chips

Good service. Consistently good food and delivers value for money.

Love this Place food always so fresh!! Will be back ☺️

Our family's favourite chook. Keep up the great work

Super amazing restaurant And recommended food …
