Gate Way Charcoal Chicken in Langwarrin never disappoints! The service is always friendly and welcoming, and the food is absolutely delicious. Their gravy is incredibly tasty—seriously, soooo yum! With great flavors and affordable prices, it’s definitely a spot worth recommending.

Highly recommended best chicken in the south east. Delicious tasting chicken with so much flavour the breast was soft and not dry at all. Chips were an exceptionally perfect amount of chicken salt. Very well priced... Will definitely now be my regular chicken shop.

I highly recommend going here, (my first time here, just to get chips and gravy for the grandaughter,) What a lovely man serving (owner at a guess) friendly and very pleasant... one place you certainly get value for your dollar... $4 chips and gravy....and he really piles up the chips, so much so I had to ask him not to fill mine as I'd struggle to eat that much (i dont like wasting food, especially with how hard things are for people these days) he was very obliging.making sure I got as much as I wanted.... Great choices on the menu and plenty of salads to choose from to go with your meal, or just salad on its own... Very clean shop fast and efficient service so no long wait..... 24/6/25
