Umina Charcoal Chicken - UMINA BEACH

When it comes to Hot Chips and Gravy and BBQ Chook.

I was pleasantly surprised by the professional service and extremely fresh food at this take-out restaurant. When I called to confirm they were open during Covid, the employees were friendly and cheerful over the phone. Ordering was simple, and they offer great deals for families. The food was incredibly fresh, with crispy salads and juicy chicken. Overall, this restaurant was a winner in my book.

You haven't had good chips and gravy until you've experienced this place.

Called for lunch on our first day and had a great Feed. Very well priced and was delicious. Definitely worth a try!

As a local I should know better but both coles and Woolworths were sold out of their succulent bbq chooks...so down the road I went to charcoal chicken...refused to pay for a whole chook knowing that it might be dry and horrible so I got a half for 1.50 MORE than a whole one in woolworths and true to my thoughts the chicken was...breast so dry I gagged...leg meat barely there. Dry and unchewable...wing meat not there at all just very crunchy skin worse than uncooked pork crackling. Once again I say I should have known better...i would not advise this overcooked very pricy chicken be consumed by humans with teeth problems my dogs turned their noses up at it. I would pay more than they charged if it was good but in this case you don't get at all what you pay for !
