Chicken Chef in Blair Athol, SA was voted Best Chips in Australia. Can vouch that they are indeed absolutely amazing

I haven’t had their chips but I’m sure they’re amazing. In the meantime I treat myself every 5 weeks or so to chicken cave chips. Yummo.
Agree with Chicken Cave and they finished top 10 along with Sotos

Decent burgers but overpriced to buggery.
Haven’t been there in 7 or 8 years, so I may be out of touch. Used to be in town twice a month on business, and always managed to squeeze one in.
Dimmies (steamed or fried) , potato cakes and chiko rolls were things I missed desperately in the UK.

I had my first Kermond’s burger in the 70s and they were overpriced then and have remained that way to this day. Quite tasty, however.

They pretty much go straight through me. Taste good on the way through though.

So you spat it?
Hopefully, Wimpey’s had died the death before you got there. It’s one case where you’re thankful for a Mac Attack.
For a burger, Andrew’s in Bridport St, Albert Park is really hard to beat. Chips are great too.
Stupid autocorrect!
Is Humffray St Fish and Chips still going strong? Just up from White Flat
Wish it was true still in more places.
I’m all for a box. Wrapping it in paper is primative.
I used to work in Blackburn one day in the week and often would duck by Kerrimuir Fish and Chips. Was always solid and consistent, looked like a family business that had been doing it for years type of situation, occasionally too generous on the batter if that’s your thing. Seems to be popular with locals. My local is that sort of, just passable standard with a pretty weak serving of chips. I miss Kerrimuir on a Tuesday night.
Perhaps I’m overrating it as a kid but has fish and chips standards slipped since the 70’s/80’s or even further back?
Ours does generous size pieces of flake. Go from end of a dinner plate and hangs over the other side. Width is pretty decent too

Portion sizes I noticed have shrunk at many places depending on location and type of people running the joint. My wife’s old work in Boronia was ran by an old greek family. Huge portions of chips as minimum ($3.50) and a rotisserie for the lamb souvlakis where they carved massive chunks and had souvlakis bursting with meat and salad.
They sold up to focus on their son’s store. New owners increased prices to $4 for minimum and portion was noticeably smaller. Lost a lot of customers.
They also cut the amount of lamb in their souvlakis to just 1 diced lamb skewer per souvlaki compared to using the shaved chunks off a rotisserie system that they got rid of.
I get inflation, but keep servings generous.

This one. Looks like it still operates.I should have specified Humffray St South, rather than Humffray St North.
