I've been here twice.

Service: The owner's wife is very friendly, attentive and pleasant. The service here for takeout is sublime and they really seem to stand behind their product. It's the little things - for example, when I ordered take-out but sat with a friend while he ate a late lunch, the lady held my order until it looked like my friend was half done and then processed it, guaranteeing me a fresh product. Everything was triple-wrapped and the chicken's box had holes punched in it so everything kept crispy.

Food: The chicken polarizes people - some find it too spicy or crispy. I love it, myself - it has strong chicken flavour and a pleasing mixture of spices that is more pleasant than anything you'll get at KFC. Gravy is variable - quite salty and probably from a mix, but delicious if it isn't burnt (the second time I was there, it had a distinct burnt note that was rather offputting although the product was still edible). The other sides are from-a-bucket sorts - the same macaroni, potato and coleslaw salads you can get at any deli in factory buckets. The fries are alright but standard concession-stand fare. The chicken, though, is delicious, moist, and lacks grease in the interior (the exterior is a different story but it isn't soggy!) - the star of the show.

Value: Chicken is well-priced. Sides not so much for what you're getting.

Ambiance: This place looks like it was built in the 80s and abandoned. The bathroom door has a thick black sheen of grease, the wallpaper, chairs and tables are 80s pale greens and purples, and the signage in some windows has faded into blobs - but it's mostly a takeout place and functional enough as an eat-in (perfectly clean, door aside - washroom included.)

I found out about this place through an attempt to find the best fried chicken in town so a couple friends and I went to try it out. The menu is pretty standard, similar to KFC and we opted for 3 piece meals that come with fries, a drink and gravy. I think it used to be a Lee's Famous Recipe joint at some point and they have probably preserved most of the menu items. The chicken was very fresh, straight out of the fryer and quite moist. The extra crispy lived up to it's name although the seasoning on the regular chicken was much better. Great peppery gravy too. The atmosphere isn't much to speak of, a few chairs and tables and wallpaper that looks to be straight out of a 1980s dentists office. Who cares though, when the chicken is delicious. This place is out of the way but worth the trip for chicken lovers.

I went here with my fiance one night last week after having a craving for some good fried chicken. Read the reviews here and were on our way for the 25 minute drive.

Looks plain and very old school...Like old, old school. We ordered the 12 piece mixed chicken combo for 19.99 +tax. Surprise! The lady threw in an extra piece...fryer's dozen?

The spicy chicken didn't seem spicy at first, but the heat comes at you. Batter is delicious, not too thick and the chicken is fried perfectly with juices squirting out.

Didn't try any of the sides, per the reviews, but I would totally recommend coming here for Spicy Fried Chicken. mmmm..

Ever since I lost my chance to have another try at Popeye's I've been looking for another fried chicken place around town and this place seems to fill the void nicely.

Tired looking the only thing being updated here are the free newspapers scattered on the bench tables. There are only a handful of stools to sit down on and a couple of small tables as this place is mostly for takeout orders only. Customers seem to come in few and far between and is everything but bare when I've gone.

Aside from that, the fried chicken has been the best I've had since Popeye's and maybe even a little better than that. Each time I've ordered the 3pcs meal (a touch over $10) which comes with fries, gravy and another side of your choice. During my last visit I ended up ordering another side but received no drink. I'm curious if the sides and drink are interchangeable. The chicken is always made to order during my visits there and you can choose between original and spicy. I didn't ask but you might want to specify dark or white meat since I tend to get 1 piece of white meat each time. Expect to wait a good 10 minutes. I find it amusing that the counterperson uses the mic and intercom to call up your order.

I always opt for the spicy version and it packs a punch. Pieces are large and the batter is extra crispy and thick yet not particularly greasy either. It has much better flavour compared to KFC or Churchs and is more reminenscent of Popeye's if for comparison's sake. The fries are of heat lamp variety and the sides are similar to Churchs as is the gravy. Stick with the chicken!

I haven't been here in a while so I hope this review isn't a false hope for the like-minded who enjoy this guilty pleasure. It's definitely worth a try once in a while for that artery clogging goodness. Would hate to see another standalone fried chicken joint disappear.
