Mr Charcoal Essendon — Restaurant in Melbourne

You will never ever find service and food that is of such high quality. Tony is amazing and the food is better than a five star lardy dar restaurants. Affordable for pensioners, low income families with 5 star quality restraint food. All the salads do not come out of mass produced plastic bags. Fresh made that day with family traditional recipes. Scalloped potatoes, seafood salad, potato salad (with real home cooked smoked pork chunks) and the chicken!! Home made stuffing actually made on the premises! Not just a five star rated Google rating. I give I a 10 stars compared to lardy dar restaurants. Beats My Kitchen Rules food and the judges they have are missing out on a magnificent taste sensation by not buying from Mr Charcoal Essendon. Service...

Mr Charcoal in Essendon is an absolute gem! The chicken is not only well-seasoned but also incredibly tasty, making every bite a delight. One of the standout features is that they use larger chickens, which means the portion sizes are significantly more generous compared to chain stores like Nando's and El Jannah.

The cooking method over glowing charcoal adds a unique flavor that you simply can't find elsewhere. Additionally, the chips seasoned with chicken salt are a must-try; they perfectly complement the meal and elevate the overall experience.

The friendly service makes it a great spot for a casual meal. If you're in the area, definitely stop by Mr Charcoal for some delicious food that feels homemade and satisfying! Highly...

Spanakopita was great too. Definitely recommend if you want a quick lunch but crave more than a quarter chicken and chips. Oh and the guy behind the counter was friendly and happy to explain what was...
