Overall, reviews describe Fritou as a fried chicken spot with generally good flavor and friendly, accommodating staff, though some experiences note slower service and occasional order mistakes, while the chicken is praised for being delicious, crispy, and well seasoned on many visits with generous portions and affordable prices, and the interior is liked by regulars; a few drawbacks are cited, including times when seasoning is off, lingering smells from the shop, and inconsistent smiles from staff, but many customers still call it a hidden gem and a reliable, enjoyable option for fast food.
I rarely give 5-stars, but Fritou Laval deserves such high rating.
First impression when I walked in is the cleanliness, then the friendly staff, excellent menu full of delicious food, portions are good, couldn't finish it all so I took it home & next day it still tasted as delicious & tender.
Opens late for night meals, that's a plus. You don't feel sick the next day like other places that sell chicken. & there is something magic about the ingredients.
You should try it. Kids love it too much.
Keep it up!
An excellent Frito experience the chicken is the best in Montreal. Well done there's no oil inside Tasty well done I will recommend everybody in material price is excellent. One of the my best experience ever in that store. I really really really like it. Thank you for your too.

Both the food & the service have declined over the past year. Today I was served non spicy chicken although I asked for spicy, sauce that was full of blobs, & an expired soda. Pretty sure I got food poisoning. I used to go there for years. May not be going back now. What a shame...
During these past few months , the quality of the service & the taste of the food had a significant glow down since the new owner came. Mistakes made regularly in the order, sometimes the chicken has a lack of seasoning, waiting time a little bit longer when you order on site or thru pick-up. However the staff is still kind & gentle . Honestly, you guys are a good spot to eat fried chicken BUT if you continue to this path, I might try to find another spot. I really hope you'll comeback stronger ❤?❤?❤?
Went to order some food & he passed somebody before us because they spoke arabic. They told us he had to just pay so we can order but we waited for 5 minutes & they were still talking. Worst customer service ever. The chicken does not look fresh either.

Just to remember that it is chicken fillet, not like PFK, which is sometimes just bones... only the poutine sauce is salty, but absolutely everything is fresh!

The food was great! I got the poutine to share & a burger & the burger was genuinely fresh. They don't squish the burgers nor give you thin patties. The poutine tasted great but there was just a little bit too much gravy so it was too heavy for me. A friend got chicken & fries & he said it was amazing & fresh. The service was just a tad slow but that's because they were missing 2 people. It was worth the wait. The atmosphere was very nice & spacious! I definitely recommend!
