Botanic Chickens

No greeting or acknowledgement when we walked in and was eventually sassed from the worker saying they don’t know we’re there if we haven’t paid for our food. Was our first time there we didn’t feel the love. Don’t usually care about off service or sass but felt like a weird way to learn how the shop operates. Got a cuttla snitty packs, the peas and carrot super water flavoured much like when my nan used to over steam veggies to oblivion. The chicken was mad good crunchy n the gravy was pretty good tho. Had to salt everything ourselves. Chips were a solid 7/10 my housemate says he’d give the chips a 8/10. Was fun laughing together about how water flavoured the carrots were so that was nice.

Not consistent with their food quality and poorly packaged food. Hot chickens are usually cooked well and are tasty though. My husband had a medium AB pack last week and there was paper on the bottom that became soggy from the chips and sauce and he couldn't pick any of the food up without the soggy paper going all through it. Have also had sweaty hotdogs and pencil thin yiros.

I get my chicken from here and it is great can’t say enough about that. I should have stuck too the fact it is a good chicken shop. I got a hamburger with the lot Soggy sloppy tasteless mess I thru it in the bin the meat paddy had that thawed out taste. Such a let down. Maybe it’s the Sunday staff Thanks

Have lived in Blackwood for 40 years and used to enjoy visiting this foodery.. Changed hands many times to the detriment of the shop. Yesterday asked for a plain hamburger, was given an $8 burger with one tiny piece of tomato, mountains of lettuce and a drizzle of sauce, disgusting!! Aren’t onions included in a plain burger, DONT THINK SO! Go back and complain? Can’t be bothered, my absence will be the message. Two other shops in Blackwood I will go to, one in Foodland complex will do.🤬
