Brisbane's newest fried chicken joint, Fat Belly Jacks
Who can say no to a new place to sink their teeth into crispy, juicy, delicious fried chicken? Definitely not me 😉.
Founded by the Sydney burger legends Hashtag Burgers, their new venue is set to take the title of Brisbane's Best Fried Chicken... And for good reason, it's exceptionally amazing.
Menu
I love how with each main you get your choice of a side. And after experimenting with two of them (can't wait to have more), I think I have my favorite... More on that soon.
What we had:
Fat Belly Burger:
Touted as 'Brisbane's best burger' with southern fried chicken breast, bread and butter pickles, Red Eye mayo and oak lettuce on a freshly baked milk bun... This burger is a hand held, flavor packing, beast of a fried chicken burger. The hot sauce alone is just incredible, even at the medium heat I picked. The chicken is crispy and succulent, not an ounce of dryness... An incredible feat with chicken breast.
And the side of choice was Mac'n'Cheese, enough said. Large pasta, cheese sauce, and adequate portions... The traditional comfort food.
Chicken Tenders:
The all time classic fried chicken for me. Boneless, so there is no bone to worry about or interrupt you from enjoying this delicious bird ❤️. Crispy thin coating encasing the super moist meat, they did this chicken justice 👌.
For a side we went the buttery creamed corn, I wish I ordered a second... It was that great. Man I miss creamed corn, and this was just like it was in my childhood back home. Also, we had a side of their extra hot sauce (also we found out there is an off menu sauce that is even more hot)
Summary:
Really enjoyed this new venue in Petrie Terrace, so much nice food in this area and this just takes it up a notch. Brisbane wanted more fried chicken and I think this is the perfect answer.
Great service, well priced menu with great options, and a beautiful venue. Can't wait to return for more😊
