Wow! Wow! We were passing through from Ontario to Calgary. Stopped here on a cold wintery night. Restaurant was a little under whelping, we honestly weren't sure if we should stay and eat. We took a chance and Wow are we glad we did! Chicken fingers and curly fries were elevated to a higher standard! The white and black sesame seeds and honey were crazy good! 5 star review!

We ordered the 10 pieces of chicken and currly fries. I wanted to love this place cause I've heard good reviews but the breading was hard and kinda gross and the fries were tiny for 5$. Maybe we caught them on an off night but I doubt I'll be back.

First time here, won't be the last. Really tasty chicken strips and curly fries. Will try more of the menu next time.

I feel the meal I got was decidingly average, granted I did show up late because I had to stop for gas on the way to pick up my order.

I ordered their chicken fingers meal with cheese sauce, bacon and jalapenos on top and got the "Scorcher" heat level for the chicken.

The chicken was still warm when I ate it so that wasn't much an issue itself. It wasn't overly chewy or tough so eating it was pleasant enough. The breading might've been a little soggy since I took so long to show up but it was fine otherwise.

The cheese sauce was standard fair, kinda bland and gooey which was disappointing, the bacon bits they used might as well not have been there with how cheese sauce and breading covered the taste. Pickled jalapenos were more or less standard.

The curly fries is where it was at. The fries were pretty soggy when I got to them but they were easily the best part of the meal. They had a nice seasoning to them that wasn't over powering and just pretty edible overall, I could easily eat a whole box of them without getting sick of the taste.

The thing that let me down the most about this meal was the flavour of the spice/seasoning they used for their chicken breading. I asked about it over the phone and I was told they used a mix of Carolina Reaper and Ghost Pepper chilis for heat and a point was made about how it was 1,000,000 SHU and it honestly couldn't have been hotter than the serrano peppers they sell at grocery stores.

The one thing I'll give'em is that I don't like the taste of ghost pepper and they managed to mask it pretty well.

Overall it's an average chicken place, I wouldn't go for just the food but if you want to hang out with friends for some drinks and casual bar food it'll do the trick (provided the lockdown restrictions lighten up anytime soon).

Not a fan of the seasoning. Tried both the mild and hot chicken fingers. Didn't like how it tasted, unfortunately went to waste. It tasted like paprika and cumin, but just way too much cumin and maybe something else. Just not a fan of the flavor and the quality of chicken wasn't anything amazing either. Probably won't try again unfortunately.

Chicken prices were way to big. I just didn’t like their coating. But the spicy powder was amazing.

Absolute favorite chicken spot in the city that's situated in an amazing community gathering spot called The Handsome Daughter that hosts many types of shows. The alcohol selection is wicked, if you're looking for a fun and unique date night or chill spot to hang with friends, this is highly recommended!

The chicken is crisp and juicy! Their curly fries are just right! A must vist if you are in the area!

I wanted to like this chicken so badly. However, the breading was super thick and tough. Not crispy, just tough - like rawhide. The chicken (maybe from brining) and the breading were also unpleasantly sweet. 1/5 chicken.

Review is two stars overall because the curly fries were great and the restaursnt was friendly in accommodating us by providing some of the hot spice rub in addition to seasoning the chicken directly with the mild.

Saw this place featured on "You Gotta Eat Here! " It was a pretty solid place. The curly fries were bomb and the chicken fingers were decent. The honey dill was VERY dilly, but overall a good place to eat. Would be better eating it fresh (versus takeout) but the pandemic put a damper on that. Hopefully soon we can try dine in.

Well that was just plain delicious. Got it for take out and the order and pickup was smooth. Got home and, man, is that good chicken. The crunch is audible. The kids loved the strips and curly fries. And they make cole slaw the kind I love, not the creamy kind. All in all it was awesome. Great flavour. Great prices. Oh we will be back.

Got the chicken strips with cheese sauce, bacon, jalapenos and curly fries. Soooo good! The coating on the chicken was well seasoned, chicken was tender, topping were ample and the curly fries were tasty enough to keep eating after they'd gone cold

Really good food at a decent price, wicked patio in the summer as well! I love the ghost pepper seasoning on the chicken; hottest chicken in town.whenever you go don’t forget to check the side and back of restaurant too has a killer Graffiti wall

I honestly don’t know who made the recipe for the hot chicken it’s like they forgot everything and just put plain chilli powder as a rub with no salt and it tasted like paper and the smell was weird. I really don’t understand who let this chicken pass as good.
