Well, that was probably rather obvious from the name…read moreof the place, and while I'd say that the do some pretty decent chicken, I'm not really all that sure if it is all that easy to muck up chicken. You probably can, but the thing is that these guys certainly don't. The other thing is chips, because one of the main reasons I come to places like this is to check out the chips, and the chips here were certainly well worth checking out.

It is disgusting how much food these guys will give you for such a small amount of money!…read moreThe food is very good for a take away shop and the volume is enough to feed two people on one meal. On top of this the current owners (William and Kathy) are very friendly people giving a warm vibe to a quick stop in to what in essence is the corner takeaway store.

This evening and I can tell you the flake is beautiful and fresh, the batter crispy. The chips are yummy tender and crisp, potato cakes crispy outside and soft inside. I can highly recommend Jim's fish and chips, in fact it's my personal favorite in the area! thanks Jim & Sophie!

The worst fish and chips I've had in many years. We ordered gluten free items (as our go to gf fish…read moreand chip place was closed) and it was utterly inedible.

I don't know why it took me so long to discover Grill'd!! I absolutely love this location on…read moreDegraves street- you have the benefit of eating outside in a typical cute Melbourne laneway but with fast casual fair. I love that Grill'd has so many options- including those that are diet and macro friendly. I typically opt for the Hot Bird burger and chicken bites - so much protein for a low calorie amount. Can't recommend this enough if you're sick of eating super heavy meals all the time and want something that is lighter and healthier!

This…read moreis my friend's favorite burger joint in Melbourne and he's only a few blocks away from this one. Big fluffy sesame buns. Even the simply Grill'd was big. The fries were big cuts, too big for my liking, but still tasty. Nothing like some sugary soda and a hefty burger to get through the day if trekking through this town.

It's a darn good burger…read more.. Finally got around to giving this one a go.. maybe my expectations were set high... have been looking fwd to Royales for awhile now. Planets got aligned today and reserved some space in the tum tum from lunch in Brighton... Royales is behind the Pantry and works well for the clientele that it attracts! Onto the burger... without taking it apart my first bite was as if it was the most beautiful thing in the world!! I devoured it. it was only until I was half way through that I remembered to take note of what was inside... nothing pretentious.. just a whole hearty "proper" burger with lettuce .. I noticed my grip as well.. substantial yet not fist size like fatbob's! "Milk" bun was nice. Not too heavy and complemented the fillings well. the patty although not as good as Laurie Dee's or Chew's, was significant and meaty enough for a thumbs up. like other reputable burgers the patty has granular bits of meat with some burnt bits. All in all ... awesome. WIR? most definitely! Is it the best?? hmm this I will leave to ur own judgement. We all have our favourites ... happy yelping y'all!!

I was a little surprised to see the lukewarm to bad review on this place since every time I go by…read moreRoyale Brothers it is packed. I stopped in and ordered a spicy royale which has, in additional to cheese, regular veggies, and a royale sauce an additional jalapeno sauce. The burger was very good. Cooked well with a delightfully fluffy bun that never got soggy. It wasn't that spicy, but I did like the little bit of kick the spicy sauce gave. Their fries are also surprisingly good. In my experience, there are two kinds of fries or chips served in Melbourne/Victoria/Australia. One is what we in the US of A would call "steak fries." Basically thick cut potatoes that are, typically, under-cooked and soggy. They require huge amounts of Ketchup/mayo/HP Sauce to be edible and, really, why not just eat a baked potato? Many pubs, unfortunately, have these kinds of chips/fries. On the other side are Belgian style fries or classic french fries that are thinly cut and, at their best, double fried (in duck fat preferably) to cook the inside and then crisp the outside without over or under doing either part. Royale brothers had an intermediate fry/chip that was both on the large end (but not huge) and very crispy and well cooked. They were also seasoned well with a choice of a variety of dipping sauces. There is no indoor seating so you are eating outside or taking it home. For my purposes that is usually fine as Royale Brothers is located at an attractive end of Church street and it is nice to sit outside when it is not raining. Verdict: nothing to complain about and I will be returning. The only reason I didn't give it 4 stars is that the burger, while the best I have had here, did not blow me away. I will be going back and sampling some of their other options in the future, though and that may increase my score.

Arrived melbourne thursday morning, checked into my apartment & jumped on yelped to see what was…read moregood for lunch and this place popped up. Even in Sydney there isn't many Kiwi fish & chip shops.. haven't had a bad one yet & this one had some really good reviews so had to hit this place up :)!! As soon as i walked in it was a friendly Asian guy working behind the counter who greeted me, I'm a guy who always has to study the menu so i walk out satisfied haha!! I was like is there a favourite & he was like the fish of the day is always popular :), that day was Spot Trevally which i haven't had in yonks, got a greek salad, Kamara chips (like sweet potato) & a L&P can :D!! If i can remember wright for the lot it was just under or just over $30 cause i got a packet of cheese Curlies &  cheese n bacon Rashuns :D. Waiting time was about 10 - 15 minutes, you become an expert at counting the waiting time when your hungry :)!! Without a doubt the Trevally was on point for taste same with the greek salad :), i left the Kamara chips & L&P last.. for every sip 1 chip :D!!.. the chips were definately the highlight cause i can't remember the last time i had them!! The chips and drink were a bit more expensive as per usual but when they dont sell them at normal supermarkets you buy them when you see them :)!! Whenever I'm back in Melbourne I'm definitely coming back for a feed even if it's just for the Chips :D.

Pretty good fish and chips!…read more This place is hidden under the Tribeca Apartments. It's nice and clean with a good range of options. The batter was nice and crispy, the fish was fresh and the chips were exactly right. The only complaint I have would be the scallops - they were tiny and didn't seem to be up to the same standard as everything else. They also sell a handful of NZ snacks and drinks.

Grill'd certainly know their burgers. Every single one of their burgers are what I would describe…read moreas a simple combination of flavours that work in synergy to create an explosion of taste sensation....did I go too far? Well it is all true, unlike, say for example the 'healthy' part of the Grill'd business name. These burgers are not healthy. They are super tasty though. And just because they offer gluten free options does not make any of their food 'healthy'. But you really do have to give it to these guys. They know how to make tasty food and spin a good marketing line. The one that gets me every time, with this particular Grill'd in Melbourne Central, is the 'buy a burger and get a $10 movie ticket to Hoyts next door'. Why wouldn't I get a burger if I was going to see a movie anyway and I was going to pay twice the price for said movie without my delicious healthy burger. Did I just say healthy? Damn, they got me again.

My first time trying Nando's!…read more I'm not sure what the fuss is all about. The "crack-like" peri peri sauce that everyone always seems to be raving about isn't even that good. It's a little too vinegar-y for my taste. The chicken was slightly dry, but not terrible. $29.99 will get you a whole chicken, and two sides. We opted for the Portuguese spicy rice, and the cole slaw. The cole slaw was probably the best part of the meal. But I guess it's not really fair to expect amazing food from a fast food chicken place. Maybe we just ordered the wrong marinade (lemon & herb) or caught them on an off day. It's cheap, quick, and filling - if you're asking for more than that, then you're asking for too much.

I've seen Nando's all over the place (in Scotland, Oz and the States) but for some reason have…read morenever actually gone inside one, until this past week. Well, consider me a fan! The grilled tenderloins (e.g. chicken tenders) are nice cuts of chicken, and the spicy peri peri sauce is outstanding. A proper amount of burn without descending into fire-for-the-sake-of-fire territory. Combos (with a side and drink) are decently priced, averaging around $13-16 AUD per person, so it's really affordable compared to most restaurants in Melbourne. This location in particular is perfect for a quick meal before a movie up the street, and the staff are all super nice and friendly.
