Reviewing the Charcoal Chicken: Charcoal Plus Chickens (321 Spring St Reservoir, VIC 3073)


Reservoir, Rezza, Rezzi..... where do I go from here? a 20 minute drive to KOTA charcoal chicken in Doncaster, a voyage to Lyndarum in Epping or should I make an embolus pit stop at Charcoal Plus Chickens in Rezza?


Charcoal Plus Chickens in situated in the heart of the disdain and amusing Reservoir which is sure to attract many intriguing and fascinating human beings from a naïve teenage mothers to curious and amusing senior Mary-Jane lovers to strange and somewhat ravishing  tremendously experienced charcoal chicken bloggers.


To start like I always do; with the notorious taste of the charcoal chicken. Shortly put the chicken at Charcoal Plus Chickens was partially suitable and humdrum and was tedious to taste. The breast was adequate and was slightly above average to say the best, possibly edible without chips or stuffing to enhance the taste. The stuffing to accompany was not bad however was overly greasy and oily for a stuffing and didn't compliment the intrinsic taste of the chicken.


Chips are somewhat off-form and below par for a charcoal chicken diner and seem to be bland and tasteless with little seasoning and below par quantities of chicken salt. However the chips were large and had a substantial and meaningful amount of potato to salvage some character and redeem Reservoir chicken from the depths of blogger scrutiny.


There was plentiful tables indoors and was suitable for eat in for groups of 2-4. The atmosphere of the room was a little dull and walls looked partially dirty however the cheery yellow walls sure lightened up my night and sent me into a jubilant mood.


The service was average and was to the point as the couple behind the counter didn't seem to be able to communicate English accurately but substantial enough to order a "chicken and chips cut into 8"


Parking is pretty substantial with parking out the back car park for 2 hours minimum.
In terms of quality to dollar ration they seem to be to some extent proportionally overpriced compared to other charcoal chicken stores in Melbourne which offer and produce superior poultry.


Charcoal Plus Chickens seems to have a direct correlation with its surrounding suburb: from intriguing and fascinating with its shiny yellow walls, potato filled chips and partially-English speaking workers to disdain with its overly oily stuffing,  its unseasoned chips and humdrum tasting chicken.


Charcoal Plus Chickens charcoal chicken rating:
