Update September 2025: after trying their burgers & tenders, me & my wife decided to try their fried chickens with bones but unfortunately this time, it was not good at all. It was blend, tasteless, the fried skin was pulling off leaving the chicken like steam cooked & it was blend with no flavors & no spices. Also, chicken pieces were so big that it is definitely not a good quality one. A bit disappointed because of the price. If I knew it, I would have kept eating their Tenders & burgers. Also, it is quite expensive since you get fried chicken without any sauces. Each sauce needs to be bought separately which I don't really understand.
Anyway, I recommend their burgers & Tenders but Definitely NOT their fried chicken with bones!!!

Great suprise to find this place in Centropolis.
Their chicken tenders (Spicy or not spicy) & their fried chicken burgers are amazing!!!
Staff is very nice, welcoming & even offered my daughter a cookie when we were leaving. It was very appreciated.
The big downside is that you have to pay for their dipping sauce. Hopefully, they will include it in the order in the future.
Even though the price is on the expensive side, the quality is there, the chicken is fresh, well cooked & seasoned. Their buns is good too.
If you enjoy fried chicken, this place is for you!!!

The food here was actually quite good - fresh, flavorful, & came out in a timely manner. If the space were properly cleaned, I could see it being a great hangout spot, since the layout & vibe were otherwise quite enjoyable.
Unfortunately, the overall experience was soured by the service & cleanliness. Our server got our order wrong, & when we politely corrected it (well before the kitchen had started on it), she was noticeably passive-aggressive & audibly annoyed for the rest of our time there. Even when asking for a takeout box, the tone & attitude made us feel unwelcome - like we were a burden rather than guests.
On top of that, the floors were clearly unmopped, the whole place felt grimy, & the women's bathroom door didn't even lock, which felt like a basic safety concern being overlooked.
It's a shame because the food & potential atmosphere are there, but the lack of cleanliness & unwelcoming service make it hard to recommend without some serious improvements.
Première fois & on y retournera, tendre de filet de poulet très très tendre, panure pas trop grasse ni épaisse.
Je recommande ce resto.
Seul bémol, un petit flacon de sauce fourni que tu prennes 2 ou 4 filets.

Franchement un des meilleurs restos de poulet frit à Montréal ! Le poulet est ultra croustillant à l'extérieur, juteux à l'intérieur, & les sauces sont incroyables (mention spéciale pour la sauce épicée 🔥). L'endroit est propre, le service est rapide & toujours avec le sourire. On sent que la qualité est une priorité ici. Je recommande les yeux fermés !
Un service exceptionnel & une ambiance vraiment agréable ! On s'y sent tout de suite à l'aise. Je recommande à 100 % ! & le petit plus : c'est juste à côté du cinéma Cineplex, parfait pour une sortie réussie.
