(edited: the next day and we have food poisoning, don't want money back you can tell they need it just don't want people getting sick don't go here) If I could vote lower I would. Last time was charged extra for "shark" in fish packs, fair enough. The portions were small and so he said he gave extra piece. He didn't lol then over charged for less food both pieces 8cm in length . Chips were over cooked and gross horrible food. Tonight, thought I'd pass it off as a one time thing but.. Chicken was dry and had absolutely no flavour not even the burned bits. The meat was gross and smelt. Chips were recooked chips with no Salt and the veggies were gross, was also told one price over phone and paid almost $10 more. Was charged for gravy even tho it's included. This place has gone to the pack since the last owners and it was already in bad shape. Will not be going back

Do not bother ordering from here! We ordered online at 6:40pm. By 8 pm the food still had not been delivered so we rang and spoke to a lady who said that tge order was being packed as we spoke. This was obviously a lie as we did not receive our food for another 30 mins! . We waited a total of 1hr and 50 mins to receive our order and when we took the food from the bag the outside of the box with the fish was covered in oil, the fish and chips were greasy and soggy and the chicken parmagiana was half its normal size. We will definitely not be ordering from here again.

  • Linda Copley

I am so impressed with the pork snitty and gravy in roll special and their chips. We stopped on an impulse and received very friendly service. In particular I was very chuffed when the manageress came out to the children and gave my pup a pat and some treats. That small gesture was so humanizing and rare; something that earned instant gratitude and respect. Their food was fabulous

Worst people to deal with the owner (ONLY) didn't want to discuss why I had cold and soggy fish and chips deliverd through menu log, when going to the buisness after waiting 2hrs for the food to be deliverd I wanted to go take the food back and get a refund so i went to the shop and was refused entry to the shop by the owner and her husband saying I'm not welcome in and refused to give a refund. Thank God for menu log because I was able to get a refund and I left the food at the shop door. Food might be ok but not worth the hassle. Buyer beware.

I have heard several locals say this place sucks but I thought they were pretty good until just now when I waited over half an hour for a schnitzel pack because someone withbme later ordered chips After the 5th time I asked to just give us what's ready while we wait for the chips so I don't have a sub par schnitzel pack and she yelled "stop!" So I waited longer for a soggy schnitzel pack I didn't enjoy Good service....

Freindly service. Great food served here, burgers are decent, chips are yummy, wedges packs are really good. Decent drink selection in the fridge. The chook shed also does delivery locally which is great if you can't get up there. Good selection of salads to choose from too. Menu has the usual suspects that a chicken shop has and prices are decent. Definitely recommend this place.

  • Jane Hawken

Seriously disappointing!!! Ordered home delivery @ 6:40pm this evening- it’s now 8:15pm & no show... I contacted them approximately 20 minutes ago & they said it was being sent then. My husband who is T2 Diabetic & reliant on food at regular time has gone to bed without eating, my elderly mum cannot wait any longer.... MAJOR FAIL - Will DEFINITELY NEVER use again!!!

  • Steven Wilson

Terrible food and worse customer service. The ordered food was soggy cold and had more salt in it than the dead sea and not only that but when the cook was called out on it you abused my other half because she wanted a refund for inedible food. How do you mess up gravy so bad? No idea how or why your foods gone to the dogs but I'll be suprised if even they eat it.

  • Paul L

This may look like your standard fish and chips takeaway but this is my number one place for chips. They always taste great and are always consistent, While you wait you can spot out all the "Easter eggs" around the shop. There are a couple of tables where you can sit and eat or just take it away. The is a small grocery store next door however they do close early.

  • Jenny semple

Bought a chook this avro and it was pink and a bit of blood in the legs, dog loved it. Ive noticed that the chooks during the week are great cooked all the way through, weekends they are always under cooked, pink and somtimes blood, so wont be buying again. Fish is great, steak sandwich is great, casear salad is great, chips need to be cooked a bit longer

  • Jamie Mate

This place is so stingy. $5 of chips would normally be enough for my family of 4 as a side with chicken, now it’s only enough to feed to kids. I rang up thinking there was a mistake but apparently the manager “Jason” has changed the sizing. Absolutely ridiculous. Will not come back ever again. I wish it would let me tag photos in this review!

  • Prue Sutton

Jason has a heart of gold. I was trying to organise a Christmas lunch for a very lonely elderly client for Christmas Day and not only did Jason make useful suggestions, he showed real Christmas spirit by agreeing to deliver it as well. I was so impressed with the service and I hear the food is great as well. Prue Sutton, Balance Home Services

  • Christi Hadfield

Who ever the new girl is here has ruined the service for me. The boys use to have it all together and lovely service. She made inappropriate jokes about the way I pronounced items on the menu and even gave me lip about the fact she didn't understand what I ordered. It's a shame because I use to love this place.

Chicken was dry, the potato fritter I got was so thick it wasn't cooked through the middle.. I ordered after I seen the bad reviews because I don't judge until I see for my self. Now I'm just hoping I don't get food poisoning like the last review posted.

I didn’t enjoy this place at all!!! The hotdog was way too expensive for what it was and the bun was disgustingly dry. It all tasted very bad and we had to throw it out after a few bites. I’ve wasted my money on this place and I do not recommend that anyone should eat here. Waste of money and time !!!!

  • Mandy Burgess

The owner is the kindest man I have ever met, he is always looking out for his customers, especially kids that wag school, he has a friendly chat lol and the food my god it's great, I have never tasted potato fritters anywhere in Adelaide these rock! So crunchy, now I want some lol 10 out of 10 xx

  • Jade Taylor

Ordered at 6:30pm, came to 7:50pm and nothing. Called to ask about our order and they said it has "just left". The place is only 5 minutes away. Took an extra 30 mins. They obviously lied and had just cooked it when we called. This is the second time this has happened. Never ordering again.

  • Andrew Bergmann

They forgot half my order, chips and gravy and chicken chipees but kept the coin of course .. Chook is moist but not tasty fritters were greasy ... I won't be back here .. -1☆ Not even to get my 8 bucks back

Bought a Chicken burger from there tonight and it was terrible. The bun was soggy, tomato was old and turning mushy, bacon was all slimy, it also had old lettuce. Absolutely disgusting. This was all after taking the first burger back due to the lady putting sauce instead of Mayo.

  • Sue-Anne Dunn

Very fussy and think how loverly the lady serving was catered to my fussy way...served a scrumptious chicken yuro wrap with salad and garlic sauce...was so tasty clean yummy food,won me and I'm fussy as I said...Go Chook Shed...keep the smiles and yummy chook coming. A new fan..

  • Emily Symes

Our local shop so we have tried to support it. However, we've had undercooked chicken, and the amount of chips you get is now ridiculously small. The $8 large is what you would get somewhere else as a minimum chips. Sorry, but we will not be giving any more chances :(

  • Paige Hillman

My favourite lil spot for potato's/chips n gravy! So delicious for a really good price and wouldn't go anywhere else. Super friendly workers too Highly recommend!

  • Samantha MacLean

Worst food in the south!!! Chicken was water logged couldnt even eat it and $4 chips wouldn't even feed a family when its a family meal never buy from this shop there food is the worst in the whole of the south

  • the Champion

We got the hot packs. Was very enjoyable and the gravy is soo good. Very friendly staff. Only bit of feed back would be breath holes or leave packs open for a few mins. Thankyou for a very enjoyable meal.

  • Jennifer Zerna

Arrived close to closing time but friendly staff only too willing to fill our order of minimum chips which were hot, crunchy on the outside but fluffy inside - the best chips we've ever had. Thank you :)

It's not even 5PM on a Saturday afternoon, and after trying to call seven times and my call not being picked up each time, I gave up and decided to take my business elsewhere.

  • Karen White

Was going to get a couple "woollies" chooks for Christmas but on recommendation from a friend, I paid a lot more from here. Very disappointed, under cooked, tough, tasteless.

  • Alison Nima

Ordered a yiros pack from here and I found 3 hairs right at the bottom of my order under the chips I will never order from here again! Absolutely disgusting …

  • Kevin Heron

The best chicken we have tasted in ages, free range, consistent flavour, great service, great price.........what more could you want?......MORE!!! WE WILL BE BACK.

  • Webster Sinclair

I wouldn't give them a half a star order a roast beef and gravy roll don't even get it get some crusty wrap and the chips taste like they never change their oil

  • Leah Eitzen

Always good food, almost always busy both in store and via 'eat now' or 'menu log'. Chips could be a little crunchier but really can't complain. Great service.

  • Matt Ryan

Do not order online chips were warm and soggy. Normally great food. But despite being there on time my food must have been sitting for a while…disappointed

Chicken was dry and chewy not much taste I asked for chicken to be cut into 1/4 it wasn't chips went nice was very disappointed will not be back

  • yeah nah

One of the worst chicken shops in the south . Chip sizes are ridiculously small and always burnt. Clearly don't change oils regularly. Avoid...

  • Sarina Bonnes

Way overpriced, and these award wining chips were in fact firm and dry, and not enjoyable at all. Staff were nice though and service was good.

  • Michelle Marine

Waited longer than estimated time. When the order arrived the food was definitely not to satisfaction as the meal was barely eaten and binned.
