THIS IS WHAT GOOD FOOD TASTES LIKE
At Texas Charcoal Chicken, we don't do shortcuts. We just show up every day, fire up the grill, and cook food we're genuinely proud of.
COOKED ON NATURAL WOOD CHARCOAL
No gas, no shortcuts. Just real smoke and real flavour the way it's been done since 1986.
CHEMICALLY FREE
CHICKEN
Fresh, clean, and delivered daily. Because what goes into your food matters just as much as how it's cooked.
BEEF TALLOW
CHIPS
Fried in 100% beef tallow. Crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and widely called the best chips in Sydney.
MADE FRESH, EVERY ORDER
Nothing sits around. From the grill to your hands, every meal is made to order with care. If it's not fresh, it's not leaving our kitchen.
FRESH SALADS, MADE DAILY
Over 8 salads made fresh every single day. From Caesar to Tabbouleh to Rocket Pumpkin — proper, vibrant sides that go with everything on the menu.
FEEDING THE WHOLE FAMILY
From snack packs to whole chickens, family feasts to burger deals — we've got the spread to feed everyone at the table without the stress.
18 HOURS IN THE SMOKE. WORTH EVERY MINUTE.
Our brisket isn't rushed. It's seasoned, loaded into the smoker, and left to transform over 18 full hours — until every slice is impossibly tender, deeply smoky, and packed with the kind of bold flavour that stops you mid-bite. It's no wonder people drive from all over Sydney just to get a taste.

Great food at Texas Charcoal Chicken .The charcoal chicken was juicy with a nice smoky flavor, and the chips were crispy and well seasoned. Friendly staff and quick service. Good portions for the price. Would definitely come back
First ever visit to Texas Charcoal Chicken so I didn't really have any expectations. The menu is extensive and the prices are quite reasonable. Texas Tower is a beast of a burger. Greasy, Cheesy, nice kick of spice from the sauce and jalapenos without being over powering. Topped with the crispy bacon jam that still had that awesome crunch from perfectly cooked bacon. Normally a triple thick patty burger can be too rich but surprisingly with the combination of the spicy sauce and bacon jam, everything was very well balanced. I really hope this burger stays on as a regular on the menu. Meat Lovers was a burger I couldn't miss out on. Brisket on a burger and onion rings? Count me in. The biggest worry I had was how good or bad will the brisket be? To my surprise they nailed it. Absolutely melt in your mouth brisket. Full of flavour and smokiness. With their in-house beef patties and crispy AF bacon it was awesome. Team provided a great service and were extremely receptive to feedback. Was a pleasure coming in today. Overall a phenomenal experience. The burgers and food are great and I can't wait to come back 🤤
If there’s one dish that can instantly lift your mood, it’s a perfectly cooked, golden-brown, crispy chicken — and this one truly delivers! Each bite has that satisfying crunch on the outside, while the inside stays tender, juicy, and full of rich, seasoned flavor. The spices are balanced just right — not overpowering, but enough to make your taste buds dance. Whether enjoyed on its own, with a creamy dip, or paired with fresh fries and coleslaw, this crispy chicken is comfort food at its finest. Freshly prepared and served hot, it’s a treat that will make you want to come back again and again. #Bestfood #Deleciousfood #Foodiefinder #Foodilover #bestautraliarestaurant #BestFoodie #Bestrestaurant #TheGroundsOfTheCity #SydneyEats
Been going here for over 30 years. Best fries, and delicious chicken that’s cooked over coals. A real popular shop with locals.
I don’t usually leave the reviews but im writing here as soon as i ate burger and chicken cuz it was SO GOOD!! I had Double trouble burger and quarter charcoal chicken and it made me really full. Maybe one burger would be even enough but couldn’t resist the chicken. First bite of chicken skin was 👍🏻 i wont forget the taste! Burger was a bit salty but loved the flavor of charcoal, patty and bacon was wonderful. But id not recommend eating outside cuz burger is big and juicy you will have to suck your fingers as well !! Don’t waste your money on McDonalds haha id definitely visit here again! You guys doing great! The girl at the front was also nice
Juicy! Huge! Tasty! The brisket burger was moist and flavourful. I’d recommend removing the pickles as they overpower the charcoal flavour of the brisket. The krunchy chicken burger was really tender but the coleslaw made the fillet less crunchy than anticipated. Both were still delicious. Possibly the best chips in Sydney! Easy to see why there was a long line of customers on Sunday.
The best bacon and egg roll that I have had in the past 12 years in Australia! Thank you so much for the best food and service 🙏
Great service! best chips/fries ive ever had and the meat lovers burger cooked to perfection 10/10
The best chargrill chicken ever in five dock And very nice team. Fresh, tasty.
