Madame Poulet delivers crispy chicken, hearty portions and reasonable prices, with many reviews praising tasty poultry and fresh fries and a generally welcoming dining room. Yet service and consistency vary widely, with reports of long waits, understaffing and some staff being slow or unfriendly, while others note helpful and quick service. Language barriers and limited English were cited by some guests, along with moments of poor communication and missing items on orders, especially with delivery. Food quality is mixed: some chicken is juicy and well seasoned, other orders arrive cold or with batter-heavy textures or undercooked meat, and the chicken burger is often described as tenders in a bun. The poutine and sides also receive mixed feedback, with some enjoying them and others finding cheese or sauce lacking. Cleanliness and comfort can be inconsistent, with at least one comment about a locked bathroom and others noting a clean dining area but a chilly environment. Overall, Madame Poulet shows potential for strong flavor and good value, but experiences are inconsistent and heavily depend on the day and the staff on duty.View restaurant profile
