    Was expecting to get a Parma and Pot for $15 but the special doesn't run in December, very disappointed. The parma was great but the crumbing was burnt, it lacked a little sauce and the chips were un-seasoned. I'm deducting a point for the slow service, the place wasn't busy and not everyone has 2 hours for lunch. The staff were also very defensive about the lack of the special, which was off-putting.

    Chips were soggy from the salad dressing which cost them on quality. The parma wasn't as good as my previous visit.

    Popo the Monkey reckons:

    I disagree with most previous reviewers. Size of chicken was definitely average, or slightly below! Now that I've got that out of the way, I have to complement the chef on the parma. The chicken breast was tender, the crumbing excellent, sauce good, cheese good, and toppings yummy. I had the "American topping" and felt that it really added to the character of the parma. Loved the sausages, ham, cheese, chilli and sauce with a hint of chilli. Chips were pretty good, above average in taste, average portion. Salad consisted of rocket, tomatoes, cucumbers and small pieces of capsicum, with dressing. I cannot fault the size of the serving or the taste. Was a nice touch to have a fresh bread roll to start off the meal too. Excellent fast meal. We went at 5:15pm and parma was out within 15 minutes. Excellent! Will definately come back when I'm in a the mood for a great tasting parma, although not when I'm starving or craving a "decent sized" slab of meat.

    Went on a Wednesday to take advantage of the 'World of Parmas' and had a Texan, which has extra sausage, bacon and salami. Another great parma! I thought the topping would be an overload but it was well balanced with the cheese and sauce, I couldn't flaw it. Parma size was great except the crumbing on the parma was almost non-existant in areas and the meat kind of fell apart occasionally, great if it was ribs, but not for a parma. The chips were a great cut and lightly salted, very nice. Salad was enjoyed by making use of the bread roll which the meal came with, which is where my bonus point comes from. Boags Draught was also $10 for a jug, a cheap and very satisfying meal.

    Just saw the duke of kent rated in the top 10 parma's in melbourne in the mx mag from melb central station, decided to walk down to latrobe street to visit the duke. Parma was awesome, great size, good amount of toppings, fresh crunchy chips served with a great side salad, well worth the visit

    Troutguy reckons:

    The chicken was well cooked whole chicken, not some mashed-up, pressed together nastiness. The chips were great, but bordering on being too thin for chips and entering the realm of fries. The salad had no dressing, which was refeshing, and the topping had a lot of flavour for once. A great parma by anyone's measure. They also have Little Creatures Ale on tap. Make this a long lunch
