I don't know how it is possible, but honestly this shop makes the best fried fish, period. In fact it is better than any of the fish I had near the seaside! Must try! Support your local business! (No lemons available at time of purchase, please carry lemons...)

Wow. How on earth did I not stop here before today. Fresh chicken pieces, pressure cooked, no grease, homemade spice cover. Home grown pumpkin soup, enough to feed 4 people, with 6 half slices of toast, beautiful coffee, hot chocolate. Very clean atmosphere with chicken and chips shop also connected. This food is unbelievable, heaps better than KFC and so soft and fresh. $30 for 2 of us and we will probably not eat for the rest of the day. The owner of this family business sat with us and told us all about his amazing pizza types. I don't know how I ate all this at 10.30am in the morning, but I will 100% be back for more. Very highly recommended, and no im not local. I'm from South Australia and will definitely stop here on my way to Melbourne from now on. Just 2 hours out of Melbourne.
