Stopped here on our way home from a long trip and OMG the Chicken Souvlaki is the best I have ever tasted! The garlic sauce was right through it and not just one the first bite. I will be back even if it means traveling from Pakenham Upper! The chips are awesome too.

The food is good but if you have any dietary restrictions this place is not worth going to. Twice in a row now I've requested something to not include bacon which I've been informed can easily be done and twice I've watched them put bacon in the burger, get reminded by their co-worker of no bacon and take it out out of view and then bring it over. Thankfully I'm not allergic but if you are I would not advise coming here as they avoid informing you of the mix up

  • Adinda Widya Rani

love this place. generous serving of fried chicken and chips and yummy gravy as a side. generously salted chips (which i love), and super flavourful big pieces of chicken all for a good price. had it once in 2019 and have just recently returned and it’s as good as i remembered it. they now have eftpos which is super handy!

Went there yesterday as the chickens and dimsims look yum from the window, and boy..indeed they are! The fried chicken nearly tastes like KFC. Although, a little bit on the salty side, We would definitely come back again!! Hopefully, they can accept EFTPOS next time, but if you find yourself with no cash, theres an ATM beside the store anyway!

  • riki manuel

Really nice people inside but the food was terrible. Potato cake tasted like oil hadnt been changed. Fried chicken was really odd tasting and overall food was bland, lacked seasoning and unedible. Chicken ceaser wrap was the pick of the bunch but was average at best

The quality of Sammys is always consistent which is a rarity with many takeaway outlets. Prices are still so reasonable for the quality and quantity of food that they serve. The only thing I'm not a big fan of is the souvlaki, but that's just preference.

One of the best meal we had in this region while on holiday. We had half the chicken along with a generous serving of of potatoes and vegetables. The chicken was packed with flavours and had a nice charred taste from the charcoal cooking style. Glad we chose this over the usual roasted chicken at the supermarket.

  • shem'el watson

Me, my sister and my dad often come here for a feed when we're at the shopping centre. The food never fails to meet our standards - absoloutley delish! Also must credit the kind man that's always happy to take our order, he gets the job done very well. Always coming back for more, thank you Sammy's! More

We recently had a 50 person bux and Sammys catered for us. The food was top notch and all dealings with the staff were professional and helpful. I highly recommend the lamb and the chicken. Also, the falafel vego option was great! Thanks Sammys for helping to make our event a yummy success!

  • Maki Mou

How do I tell my Epicurean erudite compadres that one of the best Tabouli salads I've ever bought was from a roast chook shop in Healesville? They'll think me a culinary commoner. Let's keep this between us, shall we? Delicious salads, great value, clean shop, nice people. Thank you. More

  • Kathy Greensill

We get takeaway from here every so often, but not sure what happened tonight, Fathers Day, our fried chicken was luke warm and very dry. Even the coating seemed leathery, like it was just sitting in the bain marre. Not enjoyable and disappointing. On the other hand, chips were yummy!

  • Darren Maraspin

Dropped in as was driving through. My word, this place knows how you do take-away food proper these days. Salads were super fresh, chips were delicious, and burger was a monumental tower, at half the price you'd expect in the city for similar. Highly recommended if in the area

  • Danny

Good food, but no eftpos, cash only ! Very disappointing, 90% of people don’t carry cash, I go past all the time and think “I’ll grab some chicken” but then remember I don’t have any Cash on me and don’t have time to get cash out, so I go to bakery next door. Get an eftpos….

  • Kaeli Haines

Highly recommend this place! Staff are lovely. The food is exceptional for what it is. The chips and gravy is the best! Sometimes there can be a wait due to the amount of people ordering but that just proves how good it is. Best charcoal chicken place I've been too.

  • Brendan Duncan

Maybe new staff today? Staff seemed confused, chicken was dry like it had been there for most of the day. Someone had forgotten to put chips on so there was also a long wait, you just need to get three things right, service, chicken and chips.

A pleasure to be a patron of this business ... Friendly service, good range in their menu. My experience today was excellent ... Wedges were hot, fresh and incredibly tasty. Definitely worth another visit - next time I'm down from Sydney!

  • Michelle P

No EFPOS? :/ I didn't have cash on me so I couldn't order here. I'm a tourist, most people are shopping with card these days. Hope they get efpos so they stop losing customers. I believe people the food looks good, if you can order it!

  • Ayon Banerjee

This was an accidental discovery for a souvlaki, and they did an excellent lamb souvlaki with lamb cooked over charcoal. The souvi combo is great value and chips are a huge serve and done well. Owner was super friendly. Recommend.

  • Michael Eather

Worst chicken I've ever had. Chicken looked like a rock I had pulled from my garden. Dim sims were tasteless, chips were over salted. They don't even have eftpos, it's 2017!! Get with the times!! Google a decent chicken recipie!!!

  • daniel kidston

Unfortunately food is way over priced and dry and tastes funny. Have been back a couple of times thinking it may just have been an off day… But unfortunately nothing has changed. Won’t be going back again….

  • Holly McGuire

This place does gluten free! Gluten free charcoal chicken, chips, and some gluten free salad. Plus the staff are super lovely, service is always fast and friendly, and the food is delicious

Lower rating due to no EFTPOS, and use of polystyrene boxes for some sizes of chips. Also are sometimes closed before the time on the door lists. Otherwise, I quite enjoy this place.

The chicken, chips and gravy was pretty good, no EFTPOS though which was annoying

Great Chicken rolls here, and a good variety of other meal variations. Plenty of parking behind Coles for vehicles with trailers put this business in a good location.

Amazing charcoal chicken !!! Love the small chicken and chips pack and the shredded chicken burger. And the owners are super friendly and poilet with amazing service.

  • MitchThe Gardengnome

Good schnitzel burgers. Get them quite often and they seem to be overpowered with Mayo which turns the burger into a bit of a mess. Just need to ease up on the mayo
