Best Chips in QLD
Cooks Chips in Animal Fat (Gold Leaf Oil)
Senator McGrath exposed his “spit-flecked hatred” for the beer-battered chip, citing Oasis Roadhouse as the top establishment to grab the best good old-fashioned plain chip in the Sunshine State.
“The Oasis Roadhouse at The Lynd, at the intersection of the Kennedy (the Hann Highway) and Gregory Development Roads, has edged out Karumba’s Ash’s Cafe for the best chips in Queensland,” Senator McGrath posted.

“I wasn’t aware, that is a very nice surprise, very lovely,” she said.

“Someone came through and said we have the best chips here, and they are on par with the Karumba chips,” she said.
While Ms Royes herself isn’t adverse to the beer-battered chip, her mum refused to have them in the shop.
“We did try beer battered chips. I didn’t mind them myself but my mother doesn’t like them at all, so we decided to go back to the McCain chips, we find they are the best,” Ms Royes said.

“It has a lot to do with the chip and also the type of oil you use.
