Vanessa Henderson Really pleasantly surprised. Id stopped in for dinner on the way home, had just had a very disappointing McDonalds experience and was still starving so went to KFC because options at a service station are limited. Im not a KFC person, Ive had bad experiences at other stores in the past (not this store, I havent eaten at this store before) so just havent been a fan and my expectations today were low. However, the coleslaw was fresh and crunchy, the coating on the chicken was nice and crisp, it was a good sized serve and the staff member who served me was friendly. This will now be my go-to option when I have to stop here. Atmosphere only gets three stars because, well, its a service station. You cant exactly expect a romantic ambiance.

Nicole Lawrence I ordered two burgers via the App and walked into 5 minutes later, had to wait another 15 minutes for my burgers. No communication from Staff,,when I asked the Staff member how long the wait was she got rude and abusive saying she was tired, had two new staff members on and had to cook a large order of nuggets for drive through. Another customer also complained about the wait and she told him if he didn’t like it he could go elsewhere. I have been to plenty of McDonald’s as my Partner is a truck driver but this is the worst customer service I have experienced by far. This staff member has no customer service skills as you should never swear at a customer if all they were asking why a simple order of two burgers takes over 20 minutes, while Drive through gets their orders straight away. Also this place needs a good clean

Mahmut Aytekin Lokum Turkish Grill is easily one of the best Turkish restaurants in Melbourne. Every dish we ordered was fresh, generous, and packed with real authentic flavour. The mixed grill was outstanding, with beautifully charred lamb, tender chicken, and perfectly seasoned kebab pieces served over fragrant rice. The meat was juicy and full of smoky flavour, and the portion size was beyond impressive. The adana pide was another highlight, especially the amount of cheese in it. The dough was soft on the inside with a perfect golden crust, and the fillings were rich and delicious. The lahmacun was also exceptional, thin, crisp, and loaded with fresh herbs and spiced mince. You can taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. The service was warm and welcoming, and the food came out quickly despite how busy the place was. Everything tasted like it was made with real care. If you love authentic Turkish food, Lokum Turkish Grill should be at the top of your list. Incredible flavours, great portions, and a genuine Turkish dining experience. Highly recommended.

Leonor Gumabon The first bite of the Smoky Wagyu burger will be something I know Ill be craving again and the onion rings seasoning is the best Ive tasted yet. The service was super friendly. So glad its local.

Wael Ibrahim Honestly, this place blew me away. The chicken tenders were insanely good crispy, juicy, and full of flavour. Probably the best I’ve had anywhere. And the chicken burger? Next level. Everything was fresh, the seasoning was spot on, and the portion size was perfect. You can tell they really care about what they’re serving. Staff were friendly too, and the food came out quick. Definitely my new go to spot for chicken. Highly recommend

Rachel I come here regularly with my family and have never been disappointed. Chicken is always fresh, workers are super kind and the service is always above standard!!

Jane Mitchell Beautiful Sunday lunch spot - great atmosphere with the DJ and relaxing happy vibes. The food was excellent as was the service. It was busy but served promptly with a smile - great family lunch spot or place for a celebration. Kid friendly in a beautiful Mediterranean courtyard - I highly recommend this place for a long lunch or beautiful glass of wine for any occasion. Loved it!

Cate Parsons Lots of pumps, really large servo. Very very busy. Maccas, KFC, Subway and coffee shop all here. Coffee seemed super expensive $14 for 2 large lattes but got a mini cookie with each one. The shop also expensive with the special multi buy on 2 standard chocolate bars being $5. Toilet facilities including seperate baby change room, truckers shower and disabled. Sit down eat area near food shops.

Hoang Phi-long (Phxlxng) Tried out this cozy little spot recently and was very happy by the quality of the food as well as the quick service. We started off with the pan-fried dumplings, which were served with a light dipping sauce. The dumplings had a nice crisp on the bottom while remaining soft and juicy inside For mains, we had the stir-fried flat noodles with vegetables and chicken and a beef mince fried rice. The noodles had the perfect wok hei, with just the right amount of char and savoury flavour. The fried rice was a big standout light, fragrant, and packed with flavour. The beef mince was well-cooked and nicely seasoned, while the chopped lettuce added a refreshing crunch that tied the dish together perfectly. Definitely worth checking out all the fried rice dishes if you get the chance, you cant go wrong. If youre after a casual and affordable meal with solid flavours, its definitely worth checking this place out.

Obed T Great new spot! Very good use of the space ,and full of potential! Great customer service as well. I saw this place transform into something magical. Great for families and kids, with great playgrounds and attractions for kids. A wonderland!
