    Up to two whole chickens? Can they give you 1.5 chickens if they feel on the day they want to?

    • blahman on 07/09/2015 - 09:37

      I think what they just do is fill you up with the sides then offer you chicken until you're full or you reach the 2 chicken limit, which ever comes first.

        They've already made me feel annoyed and I haven't bought their deal nor walked into their store :P

    Some of the fine print:
    * Valid for eat-in only
    * Valid for a seating of up to 90 minutes
    * Customer will be charged for uneaten plates at manager's discretion
    * Leftovers may not be taken away

      LOL what. How can they charge you, it's not a buffet
      Those conditions are stupid and would make any Customer not want to go there

      Customer will be charged for uneaten plates at manager's discretion

      Are the plates even edible in the first place ?

    • zzyss on 07/09/2015 - 11:24

      Yeah, I'm concerned that this is a clause they'll use to charge people extra on this. My wife and I certainly couldn't finish 2 whole chickens and large chips by ourselves. After all, they do say "challenge tummies" in the description…

      see this makes no sense to me

      you want the ozbb crew to sit there bathing in the ambience of harris park while eating chicken… oh which you have a 90 min time limit and you face the penalty of being charged for leftovers… which you cant take away?

      lol? is this a competition?

      why not just let people take away so you dont have to hang around in harris park for longer than legally required?

      There's an awful lot of unwarranted outrage on this page. These seem to be pretty standard rules for buffet meals. I got exactly the same treatment at 'Churrasco' on William St, Sydney for $49 per person recently, and didn't receive anything like half a chook's worth of various meats (I didn't like it at all, won't go there again).

      The one thing that operators of buffet restaurants really dislike is waste. When the punters' eyes get bigger than their stomachs, they load up their plates, then don't eat half of it. The various 'threats' about being charged for waste is designed to stop waste, not to punish. I've never seen someone actually charged for waste, but I have seen that it makes folks more careful about taking more food than they can eat.

      This is an excellent deal for an all-you-can-eat meal. Enough with the confected outrage, folks!

        I think the problem is that this is NOT a buffet meal.

        What they are doing is advertising 2 roast chickens and 2 chips with sauce, but they threw in the clause there to say that they can charge you more for having leftovers and you're not allowed takeaway.

        Seems like they are trying to have it both ways of:
        1) limiting how much people with big appetites can eat.
        2) limiting how much people with small appetites can order.

        This is a far cry from a buffet - almost shifty advertising.

          It just means you get the chips and garlic sauce. And then they will let you order 1 quarter chicken at a time up to one chicken.

          They are just trying to minimize waste as you would be surprised how much chicken gets thrown away after a meal.

          I don't think there is anything wrong with what they are doing

        • blahman on 08/09/2015 - 00:12

          @easternculture:
          If they really care about wastage, they would let you takeaway the 2 chickens. Today's left over roast chicken is tomorrow's chicken sandwich or stew.

        • easternculture on 08/09/2015 - 00:41

          @blahman:

          This is the offer they have for eat in

          If you want take away, you are welcome to buy at full price

  • aggregate on 07/09/2015 - 09:37

    Up to 2 chicken.

    • jv on 07/09/2015 - 10:17

      So you might just get a chicken wing… There doesn't appear to be a minimum…

    great cheat meal

  • Tal_Shiar on 07/09/2015 - 10:39

    Conditions really kill the appeal of the deal, good for those they can manage them though

    btw. if you want $10 charcoal chicken just drive a mere 5 mins to granville where there's THREE (3) stores vying for your money

  • bocca on 07/09/2015 - 11:56

    would rather take away and not be subject to eating challenge

    • tonyjzx on 07/09/2015 - 16:07

      thats a part of the 'ambience'

      i could probably do a chicken by myself… not hard

      so for two fat gut ozbb guys… yeah go for it

      • easternculture on 07/09/2015 - 16:32

        I eat 3/4 of a chicken with chips on a normal day

        I can sometimes smash a whole chicken after a workout too

  • Neoika on 07/09/2015 - 21:52
