Taste Galore Charcoal Chicken

Today my partner and I visited Taste Galore Charcoal Chicken for lunch. After recently moving to Ormond, from the city, we thought we’d give some of the local shops a try. We met Lin, the very friendly owner who ran us through the menu options and combos. Although all of them sound great we already had our minds made up after reading some google reviews, going with the Burger with the lot combo and added pineapple. This was $15.90 + $1 for the pineapple which included chips & a can of drink. The burger was by far the biggest standard burger I ever had by a long way. And to be honest I couldn’t finish it. The beef patty looked to be 400+ grams, It was bigger than a pounder patty and would have been almost 3 time thicker. It was a monster! The burger came with all the fillings that makes a traditional burger an all-time staple. We also received chips which were standard fish and chip style chips, sprinkled with chicken salt. One serve would have been enough for both of us.

The Verdict:
Melbourne’s biggest standard burger wouldn’t cut it, I’m going to say it’s easily Victoria’s if not Australia’s biggest standard size burger. We ate it in store, and it was presented on timber boards with retro American style diner paper. The burger was fantastic, It ticked all the boxes, however, getting your mouth around this was a little tricky. My partner cut her burger in half and that was more than enough for her. I will note that the burger was super juicy, so you wouldn’t want to drive to far from the shop as the burger could start to fall apart and get very messy. I found the chips to be a little under done, but I do prefer my chips a little crispier, so I’m not going to take any points off Lin for that as I should have asked her to cook them that way.

Scores out of 10
My value for money: 20/10, and you could easily get 2 meals for cost one.
Burger Taste: 9/10
Burger Size: 15/10. It’s that big, and probably a little to big, that just how big it is.
Chips Taste: 7.5/10
Chips Serving Size: 15/10 again this was a big serving.

This shop is a little gem and should have people queuing up out the door, but I’m guessing people seem to be judging this place by it’s outside façade instead of sampling their produce.

Lin, I can confidently let you know we have added Taste Galore Charcoal Chicken straight to our shortlist of winning places to eat.

First time there. Ordered a burger with a few extras. Was cooked fresh. Must say it was excellent. Good size. Good quality. Good price. A really great old school fish & chip shop burger. Will be back again for sure.

Lunch on Wednesday 30 Nov and was served by the happiest and most cheerful lady, Victoria the ham and salad roll was also delicious will be back for the service at a minimum. Awesome.

Honestly the tastiest, thickest & juiciest Hamburger with the Lot ever and huge potato cakes too. So fresh and Yummy. Tell Your Dads...tell everyone..🍔🍔😋

Ducked in on a whim and ordered a schnitzel burger. It was better than I had expected, was overly satisfied my order. Back after two weeks to get the same!

I absolutely love their fish and chips, coleslaw as well as the grilled chicken. They've provided quick and convenient meals when I don't have the time or energy to make my own. Ordering for pick up is also extremely easy and meals are ready within 5 to 10 minutes. I gotta say, they've been a staple ever since I started living in the area.

Didn't no this place existed but after ordering it once I just seem to keep coming back.their hamburgers steak sandwiches are to die for .service is very quick and clean if I could put a 6 star rating I would.i would rate this place as one of the best take away places in Melbourne for quality and unbelievable value.keep up the good work 😊👍

I popped in on my way home, I was a little bit peckish and didn't expect very much. I was very pleasantly surprised though and I was completely blown away with the chips here, they might be some of the best chips in town

The owner is extremely friendly and provides quick service. The fish and chips are of high standard and are superb!!

The service is friendly and if you want cheap, good BBQ chicken, burgers, or steak sandwiches this place is a good choice

Great value, great service, also the owner lady (atleast I think she's the owner, asian lady, usually wears a ball cap) is very pretty 😍

Can't beat the lamb souvlaki for $8

Had an awesome chicken burger from here

Nice food

Very happy. Prices very reasonable. Friendly and helpful staff. Food yummy, chips were excellent quality. I loved it that she didn't automatically put salt on, I always forget to ask for no salt so this was a great plus for me. Only negative is the big menu above the counter is completely out of date and so most of the items on it are unavailable. I really wanted the chicken avo salad or tabouleh so was very disappointed not to be able to have it.
