Country Rooster Charcoal Chicken in Victoria

"Peter and his family are the best charcoal chicken shop in Cardinia Shire Council. Nothing comes close. OG recipe. Taste like proper charcoal no cutting corners and he looks after you. Cheers Pete!"

"We tried both the deep-fried and roasted chicken, and wow, we were seriously impressed! Both were packed with flavor from the marinade, but the deep-fried chicken definitely stole the show. It’s like a healthier version of KFC—with way less oil. And the chips? Oh man, they practically melt in your mouth, so good! We’ll definitely be back for more of that deep-fried chicken and those addictive chips. So glad we decided to give this place a shot!"

"Oh yeah been here for years . Yummy chicken fantastic service friendly all the time . We think the food here is sensational . Also they do catering . . Also salads are awesome egg salad yummy roast potatoes they are so good.. and the chips are so delicious with gravy yummy yummy yummy."

"14.04.2022 – Midday – Ordered the Quarter Chicken with Chips and Gravy $10.20 Customer Service was good, the food was above average and overall probably the best charcoal chicken place this side of Pakenham, that I have found – Further details below: Customer Service: Family run business and willing to help, order taken promptly and no errors. Didn’t ask if I preferred the Leg or Breast(Wing) – you may have to ask. There is a $10 minimum EFT rule. Food: - Chicken was a little dry (but I was provided a large breast piece) - The chicken piece is quite big (which I thought was a bonus) - The Chips were spot on - The Gravy was perfect - Was a little too salty for my taste - Serving of food is very large – You could probably split this order between two Atmosphere: Is clean but its dark due to the colour scheme and the shade from the outside windows, there is no place to dine in (at the moment) cause all the tables and chairs are stacked up. Overall: It’s not the best Charcoal Chicken place - but there aren’t too many around this central part of Pakenham. I would certainly recommend this place as the best one in this general area"

"Writing this review the next day after getting food from here because I can’t stop thinking about it. This place is a gem. Easily the best charcoal chicken shop in the area and cannot recommend it more. We ordered both the the fried chicken and charcoal chicken, chips, salad and gravy for the family and none of us could not fault any of it. The charcoal chicken was fresh and juicy with tasty stuffing. The fried chicken somewhat resembles KFC which is always a good thing. The chips were hot and crispy and the gravy was the perfect consistency. Not too thick or watery like some of the other charcoal chicken shops. Great prices especially with their generous serving sizes! Definitely worth it. The owners were also very friendly. Looking forward to our next visit soon!"

"A small family run business that loves their customers and what they do!! Came here twice and there service was quick, and the food was delicious. Would 100% recommend, support your locals!"

"Best chicken and chips in Pakenham! Not only is the food great, the service is fast and always friendly! The owner is so lovely and always happy to see his regular customers! Country Rooster is the GOAT."

"It's as if the gods themselves descended from where ever they watch us to deliver to us this amazing chicken. By far the best fritters I've had in my life, the gravy is to die for and the fried chicken made me cry tears of joy."
