Grandpa's Chicken is a popular Australian fast-food chain, primarily based in Melbourne, known for blending authentic Taiwanese flavors with fried chicken

Grandpa’s Chicken: The Gold Standard of “Taiwanese Soul” in Melbourne 🍗✨
Beyond the Bucket
Forget everything you know about fast-food fried chicken. Grandpa’s Chicken isn’t just another bird in a bucket; it’s a love letter to the bustling night markets of Taiwan, delivered straight to the heart of Melbourne. In a city defined by its culinary standards, Grandpa’s has turned “street food” into a high-stakes art form.
The “Shatter-Effect”
Founded by Taiwanese expats who refused to settle for mediocre poultry, Grandpa’s has become a cult favorite for one reason: The Crunch. While global chains often settle for soggy, Grandpa’s aims for the “Shatter-Effect”—a signature, golden crust engineered to sound like a thunderclap with every bite. It’s a sensory explosion that balances an ultra-crispy exterior with a tender, spice-infused heart.
Taiwanese Soul, Melbourne Spirit
By blending traditional marinating techniques with Melbourne’s fast-paced, high-standard food scene, Grandpa’s has set a new gold standard. This is where authentic street soul meets modern culinary craft. For those seeking the “real deal” without the plane ticket to Taipei, the search ends here.

“Why we love it”
“In a city obsessed with fried chicken, Grandpa’s stands out by mastering the impossible: a crust that shatters like glass while keeping the soul of Taiwanese night markets alive in every bite.” Don’t forget to pair your chicken with their authentic Taiwanese Milk Tea to balance the savory crunch with a creamy finish.

Nestled in the heart of Melbourne on Franklin Street, Grandpa’s Chicken serves up a delightful fusion of Taiwanese and Korean flavours. Our team found the atmosphere casual and welcoming, perfect for a quick meal. The star of the show here is undoubtedly the fried chicken, marinated to perfection and served piping hot with an irresistible crunch. Alongside the chicken, the menu offers a tempting selection of sides, including kimchi fries and tangy pickled vegetables, providing a great balance to the crispy delights. With reasonable prices and a commitment to quality, Grandpa’s Chicken caters to both fast-food cravings and a genuine appreciation for Asian cuisine. For an uncomplicated yet satisfying bite, we wholeheartedly recommend making Grandpa’s Chicken your next takeaway choice.
