Andrew's Chicken Joint — Restaurant in Lorne

"What an incredible throwback to a 1950s style diner" is what I would say if I was a deranged lunatic with no sense of purpose or direction, much like the people working here. It does give me old school vibes, but more of like a "one flew over the cuckoo's nest" kinda feel. Just random people wandering around with buckets of chicken & coleslaw yelling out names...and then ignoring bewildered customers who do respond

"Alex, Alex? No not you, get out of here ya ruffian"

And then they throw their hat on the ground, stamp on it, shake their fist at the sky and then break out into a chorus line.

Now, about the food. Chips aren't bad, they are weird, they don't look like they have any seasoning, but they have a lot of flavour...I can't really describe what the flavour is...but it's there. The chicken was dead (good start) and the pizza was... actually I can't remember anything about the pizza, it made no impression on me at all...did we even order pizza? Ah who cares. I tell you what though, the cash loan I had to take out to purchase the food has ridiculous rates, I really wouldnt recommend 'Uncle Tony's Knee-Cappin Home Loans' in the future, still better than Commbank tho

The music is great, whilst we where there at least 3 old school bar brawls broke out between the greaser's and the sailors on PT. What a sight, I saw a guy get ganked with a chicken wing, then his murderer (alleged) started doing the twist right on top of the bain-marie. Lucky all of the chairs are made of bolsa wood and the milkshake cups are all sugar glass or else someone could have really gotten hurt.

TLDR: 10 CHICKEN TENDERS IS $38 DOLLARS BUT THEY HAVNT EVEN GOT A SPOTIFY SUBSCRIPTION SO EVERY 10 SONGS A FLIPPING AD FOR SUICIDE...

Absolutely the worst resturant I have ever gone to, I'm going to warn everyone who has any dietary requirement or allegy to not go to this restaurant. My partner who is celiac and I attended to this restaurant and kindly asked if they have a Gluten free menu. Waitress provided us with a mini menu, which was located near the register which was great at the time. My partner and I ordered the GLUTEN FREE grilled chicken, with chips and Greek salad. First mistake was they got my partner's name wrong, as the order's name stated Alis when his name is not Alis. 10 minutes after eating the meal, my partner felt ill and threw up meaning the food was cross contaminated when we specially said GLUTEN FREE. Contacted the restaurant and explained the scenario. Obviously the manger of the restaurant is unprofessional and does not know how to run a restaurant as he blamed my partner by stating something is wrong with him. I replied to the manager by stating "I've been out with my partner and know when the food is cross contaminated as my partner becomes ill after any meal that is cross contaminated! ". Manager of the restaurant is full of absolute rubbish by telling me his been in the business for 41 years ? Seriously if someone has been in the industry for 41 years, you wouldn't be lieing and cross contaminating food especially if someone is celiac. Not to mention disgustung and inconsiderate. From what I've seen based on previous reviews that this restaurant, has not had a good gig at all. Keep far far far away everyone especially those who have...

I wish I had read the reviews about this place before we ordered. Seems they love ripping people off with their false advertisements that they refuse to honour. This business does not even deserve a 1 Star Rating. We have NEVER experienced such DISGRACEFUL customer service like we did at this place. A very DISHONEST and DECEITFUL business operator. We were drawn to the combo meals advertised on the store frontage and placed our order of $105 based on these posters. After receiving our order, I asked where the drink was for one of our combo meals and was told that the combo deals aren't available and the drinks were extra. Extremely misleading and false advertising. I suggested they remove their posters from the front of the store if they weren't offering them anymore. For the sake of not even $5 to maybe attempt to keep us happy, they would not honour. They obviously don't care about providing any level of customer service whatsoever. I hope many viewers read this review because this businessman should not be in business. As for the food - chips were dry and the chicken and chips were ridiculously salty and we love a bit of salt but this was DISGUSTING and ended up in the bin. Do not waste your time or money on this dishonest business. Photos attached of the combos, he displays on his store frontage but does not honour. Rude people that need to learn a thing or two about...
