  This parma was something else. The hype had been built to epic proportions after reading other reviews, and you only have to read the special parma menu on arrival to realise you're playing in the big leagues. The size is amazing, definitely the biggest I've encountered thus far. I chose the BBQ parma, and was impressed no end. Not only is the chicken enormous, the topping does not get left in its wake, covering every inch of delicious chicken. A large amount of chips hide under this beast, and while their positioning isn't ideal, there is no other way to fit such an epic meal on the plate. Bonus point for double parma challenge, and especially the spinning prize wheel. Well played all round

  Made the decision for the "meatosaurus" parma, and i'll tell you what, it was a meal of jurassic proportions. the chorizo sausage worked it's magic nicely with the generous level of cheese and BBQ sauce. got the chance to take a squiz at the other parmas available and they all looked quite impressive. this is a must for all parma lovers, will be back.

  Extra point given for size. One of the largest parmas ive been lucky enough to experience. Chips were plentiful. Went for the Aussie option and definitely was not disappointed. Will be heading back very soon.

  I had the BBQ special with Bacon, onions, cheese and BBQ sauce. This was one of the finest parmas i've ever had. Great size and the chicken was damn fine. Chips were ok as was the salad, but you're their for the Parma and trust me it is fantastic.

  You wont leave this place hungry. In short, a tasty feed. Bonus point for the quick service, clean venue and good menu range. Only down side was the parma being served on top of the chips.

  Great parma, was very close to awarding the full 5 points for the topping but it was a Monday night and the traditional parma was the only option without the ham. Chips were perfect, and salad was tasty too. Bonus point for everyone else enjoying their non parma meals also and the fact that they have a Wednesday Parma Night.

  This venue was recommended to me. Bit of an icon i was told. Well I was disappointed. While the size of the meal was great, the meat itself was ok, it came out burnt. Got no joy from management except for sorry we were busy. It was extremely overcooked and most venues would not have dished it up. There are better venues in Port Melb on this site which I have reviewed, which I would stick until the Albion lifts its game. Does have potential though.

  This was the hawaiian "Grandeoso Challenge". It is actually 2 parmas stacked on top of each other making it quite a big feast. The top parma was good, but the bottom parma was quite light on for topping making it pretty dry. If it wasn't for the pineapple, the bottom parma would have been quite a challenge to finish. Unfortunately, this dish was possibly the biggest violation of rule #3 I've seen yet (you can hardly see them in the photo). The chips were squashed flat, by the time I got to them, but they did have 2 massive parmas sitting on top. The salad came in a side bowl and putting the chips in a second bowl on the side wouldn't be a bad idea! Bonus point for the selection of different toppings (even on the grandeoso!)
