A new restaurant that is every chicken lover’s dream has arrived and they’re here to fill a gap in Brisbane’s growing food scene.
Yums! Burgers, Wings, Fries and Shakes is an American-style chicken based restaurant set to open its doors on their first location at Woolloongabba on November 14, adding to a long list of new businesses moving into the rising inner-city Brisbane suburb in recent months.
Having drawn inspiration from an array of different fast casual restaurants around the world, the creators of Yums! have big plans in Queensland with the aim of taking their menu to five other locations around the state by 2022.

“Yums! is an American styled chicken based restaurant that will be serving up a variety of quality tasty chicken burgers and flavourful wings with also an assorted list of thick shakes and of course crispy sweet potato fries all at very good value,” Yums! director and store manager, Alison Reid, said.
“This has been a plan in progress for over nine months so far I believe. The concept itself has been brewing for over two years having lived in Brisbane for most of my life.
“Seeing that the Brisbane food scene was quite up there with the best in the world but had little to no varieties or a lot of chicken or good chicken burger joints one could go to – we decided it’s best we did something about that.”
With Woolloongabba becoming a hub for activity in recent months, and leases being signed by new businesses to move into the area, including a new brewery and an American-style mac ‘n’ cheese restaurant, as well as the construction residential apartment developments, Ms Reid said she thought the popular suburb was the perfect place to open their first location.
“In fact Woolloongabba was the only suburb that could accommodate a concept
such as Yums!,” she said.
“With a very young population, mainly 18-35, and a well diverse cultural hub, lots of
apartment buildings and more popping up every other month, it’s the perfect location for a
chicken joint.
“It also has The Gabba stadium, which is also a stone throw away from us, so we
are well situated in Gabba.”
And at a time when businesses around Brisbane closed their doors following the COVID-19 pandemic, Ms Reid said it was actually the catalyst, which led them to accelerate the concept and the launch of Yums!.
She also said their goal was to establish their restaurant as the No. 1 destination for beautifully cooked and tasty chicken products in Australia.
Yums! will be located at Shop 5/159E Logan Rd, Woolloongabba.
