Nous avons commandé le trio wrap César au poulet, & c'était excellent! Le wrap était frais, savoureux & bien garni, tandis que les frites étaient parfaitement croustillantes. Le restaurant est très propre & le personnel est accueillant & sympathique. Son emplacement sur la rue Wellington est idéal : c'est l'endroit parfait pour faire une pause & manger un bon repas en profitant de l'ambiance de la rue. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir!
We had the Chicken Caesar Wrap Trio, & it was excellent! The wrap was fresh, flavorful, & generously filled, while the fries were perfectly crispy & delicious. The restaurant was very clean, & the staff were friendly & welcoming. It's in a great location on Wellington Street, making it the perfect place to stop for a bite while enjoying a walk along the street. We'll definitely be back!
Chicken Tenders is incredible. The Jack Classic & Deluxe burgers are a must-try, & the red tenders are hands down the best ever - juicy, crispy, & full of flavor. Everything tasted fresh & perfectly cooked. Highly recommended!

The food was delicious! The vibe is great! The service was friendly! Our chicken burgers were crispy on the outside & tender on the inside (exactly how a great chicken burger should be)! The onion rings on the side were a great touch! Not overly salty or oily, but incredibly crunchy & yummy! I highly recommend this place & will be back!
Would have been 4 stars if they didn't cheat us of a chicken tender.
We ordered'la belle famille' & it's supposed to be 4 tenders & 4 fried chicken pieces. Got only 3 tenders
Other than that fries get cold & hard fast which leads me to believe they are frozen.
Chicken is crispy, poutine gravy is good.
The mark is 4 stars due to the frozen fries & below average non homemade gravy. This Verdun cute 50's style décor fried chicken restaurant, once a Dunkin Doughnuts location, has quickly made itself a good reputation in the Verdun neighbourhood. FOOD: Chicken: I tried the two piece chicken box that included a delicious highly seasoned thick gravy, a generous portion of the « Mac n cheese » as my side, & two pieces of chicken - a drumstick & a thigh. - The Mac n cheese was creamy, the noodles were a little soft which added to the smooth texture while still having a little bite to the noodles. - The sauce was very similar to KFC, & you can easily tell that this is not home made as it was overly thick & not physically like a gravy. It was a very strong seasoning similar to KFC, but more spicy & peppery. It was actually decent when dipped with the chicken but not a sauce I would brag about. - The chicken was the star as it was perfectly cooked, crispy, had some crunch, & nicely seasoned. It's so well seasoned it really does not need the gravy at all. The seasoning of the breading actually tasted similar to KFC (like the gravy) but it was little more spicy than KFC. The big difference is KFC had a gross amount of breaded fat & chicken & the pieces are very small as well as greasy & often KFC chicken is just unpleasant to eat. I don't know about the white meat or strips, but I did notice the french fries & they looked just like the cheap average frozen (McCain like) fries at Au Coq - I suggest avoiding the fries & go for the Mac n Cheese. The restaurant was in good order, service was friendly & genuine while also being exact & prompt with the order. I had a chance to speak with Tony, the owner of this Verdun franchise location & he genuinely wanted to know how i enjoyed the food, made a genuine effort typo speak about how proud he is of his franchise & how much he loves the organization & the products he serves - & his children love it as well "kid tested & approved". So I think this place is a defined repeat. I would also say to the parent company (Le Groupe Abbatiello), the choice of french fry is the weakest link in the offering & given the love of fries & poutine, whatever your sales are - i would almost guarantee you that if you would provide a real frenchfried potato or a close enough frozen product your sales would increase by at least 22%. I do not know what gravy is being used for the poutine, but if it is the same as the chicken - again, another weak point. Your gravy should not giggle, it should move in a naturally liquified manner. My guess is that it is a powder mix or some prepared product to reduce franchise error & quality control issues… I strongly urge you to improve on the gravy & think about something that people would at least believe was a fresh product. So to all, good eating & be patient with your servers. & thank you Tony for a great meal.
