About Fat Chicken

Fat Chicken is Burleigh Heads’ benchmark for heavyweight takeaway—honest portions built for serious hunger. Fluoro-clad tradies pack the counter each lunch rush, always the tell for brisk service and plate-bending volume. The kitchen roasts Lilydale free-range chicken daily, but the baseline order remains the chips: crisp, salted, and ladled with rich house gravy. For the full measure, get the AB Atomic Bomb—roast chicken and lamb piled high over fries with garlic sauce.

  • Tradie-Approved Lunches: Draws steady lunch crowds of local workers for its rapid counter service and filling portion sizes.
  • The AB Atomic Bomb: A signature loaded box layering seasoned chicken and lamb across hot chips with garlic sauce.
  • Lilydale Free-Range Poultry: Prepares wraps, burgers, and roast chicken packs with Lilydale free-range poultry.
  • Crisp Seasoned Chips: Fried hot and crunchy with generous salt seasoning and house gravy.
