Pinewood Chicken Bar, Mount Waverley by Bureaucrat

On a drizzly late afternoon, we were running late and needed to get an early dinner on the go.  As such, we made a pit stop at Pinewood Chicken Bar.


PCB was the place to go, since it was literally on the way and I knew we could just grab the food and go.  Plus, it's kind of a 'thing' for the Lawyer and I to (somehow) end up eating a takeaway roast chicken sans cutlery in our car, as we rush around running errands.  Over the years, I've only been here a few times. And each time, it hasn't left a memorable impression.


So without further ado, I present to you, a quarter chicken and chips.  The chicken was a tad burnished and dry in places (mostly the wing).  Although the actual meat was reasonable it was let down by the fact that it was overly salty.  The chips were also reasonable.  Nice crunch but not as fluffy on the inside as I would preferred.  On balance, the chicken and the chips weren't as good as I had remembered them to be.

Verdict

Food – 6
Service – 7
Ambience – 6.5
Price – 8

Overall
Rather average chicken and chips.  But the price is pretty good. For me, I think if they didn't over-salt the chicken and chips I would have liked this much more.

I probably won't go there again unless we're in a rush again. Otherwise, I'd take the longer route and swing past Red Rooster (as another reviewer on Urbanspoon also suggested) instead.
