Royal Char Grill Chicken is a straightforward local chicken spot nestled on John Street in The Oaks, offering a casual take-away and quick-dining experience mostly favored by families and locals after a long day or weekend visits. The focus here is on char-grilled chicken specialties paired with crisp, crunchy chips—elements that have earned a solid reputation among regulars in the area.

The atmosphere isn’t about fancy dining but rather about comfort and efficiency. You can expect friendly, familiar faces behind the counter, which adds a warm and approachable dimension to an otherwise no-frills setting. It’s the kind of place where speedy, reliable service meets good value, making it an easy choice for a casual meal or a quick bite on the go.

Royal Char Grill Chicken’s chicken, particularly their BBQ and chicken tenders, comes with a flavorful seasoning that stands out without being overpowering. Their chips hold up well alongside the main dishes, maintaining a crunchy texture that pairs nicely with the savoury chicken. Salads feature fresh ingredients but sometimes come with more sauce than some patrons prefer, which points to a willingness to experiment with sides, even if not all variations hit the mark equally. Fish options are available, though they tend to be less popular compared to the grilled chicken.

Locals seem to appreciate the convenience of Royal Char Grill Chicken as a dependable takeaway spot that balances well-seasoned food with attentiveness—even down to details like offering warmed rolls with gravy upon request. This place suits those looking for hearty, casual meals without fuss, whether grabbing food for a family dinner or a quick solo feed.

Visits are best planned around typical meal times when the kitchen is in full swing and fresh batches of chicken and chips come out. The friendly, easygoing vibe makes it a pleasant stop when you’re in the mood for a straightforward, satisfying chicken meal without the wait or formality of full-service dining.

Fried chicken is good, mighty have a curry like spice mix. Chips are great. The salad was good but there was too much sauce. Fish & tartare sauce wasn't terrible but not really worth getting, the batter wasn't crispy and tartare was basically mayonnaise.

Great service and great food. Their bbq chicken is delicious. The seasoning they use is tasty. Their chips are nice and crunchy. Their chicken tenders we started getting recently and we are loving them because they have a nice crispy batter that’s also nicely seasoned. Their staff are lovely too. Happy to have this as our local take away!

Everyone was very friendly with big smiles. The girl read my mind, asked for 2 chicken rolls and she said "warmed up with gravy?" Absolutely. Didn't have to wait long and the rolls were phenomenal. Thank you and we will definitely be back

Down from Sydney for a few days and stumbled across this place and had some of the best chicken and chips ever! Really juicy chicken and perfectly cooked and seasoned chips. Service was so lovely too. Warm chicken roll with gravy was unreal and the 1/4 chicken and chips is very generous. Would highly recommend to anyone passing through
