Madame Poulet appears to be a crowd favorite for fried chicken with generous portions, a wide range of chicken burgers and sides, and a bright clean modern space that often feels welcoming for families. Reviews consistently highlight friendly attentive service and quick dining experiences, with many customers praising the staff for making them feel at home and helping them choose from the menu. The chicken is described as crispy, juicy and well seasoned, with sauces and sides like waffle fries and mac and cheese earning high marks, and the restaurant is noted for fast service, reasonable prices, and a comfortable casual vibe, including a kid friendly play area in some locations and a closed section for children with screens. A handful of comments call out occasional slow service during peak times, a few concerns about price or certain items being oily or underseasoned, and one critique about a cashier's language approach. Overall Madame Poulet is viewed as delivering tasty comforting chicken with bold flavors, reliable quality and a mostly positive welcoming experience prompting frequent returns and recommendations across locations.
*** THIS REVIEW IS INTENDED TO HELP THE RESTAURANT FOR THE FUTURE***
Here's the no bs review.
Two main concerns, price $ & quality.
The chicken tenders themselves are a bit rubbery & dry. They also lacked some seasoning.
The waffle fries were good but also lacked seasoning.
The sauce containers are just too small for the average person, so you need at least two containers, perhaps even three if you want to enjoy the chicken.
That brings me to price.
I wouldn't be very critical of the food if the price was reasonable. But 28$ for 3 tenders & fries doesn't justify the lacklustre taste & quality. Whatsoever.
The restaurant itself is trying to go for a diner vibe where the staff serves you the food. I don't personally understand it but it's not a concern for me either.
The staff were very nice & helpful.
This restaurant needs to audit the foods quality & consistency.
Tried this fried chicken sandwich spot recently & overall had a good experience. There was no wait, the service was quick, & the place was easy to get in & out of. The meal came out to about $25, which felt reasonable for the quality & portion.
The food was really tasty overall, & my friend's fried chicken sandwich looked great & was apparently excellent. My sandwich was good too, but the chicken piece had a bit too much breading & not enough actual chicken, which threw off the balance. Still flavorful, just could have used a thicker piece of chicken.
Overall, a solid fried chicken sandwich spot - good value, quick service, & tasty food. I'd definitely go back & give it another try.

I come here seldomly, so im not familiar with the menu. But when I stepped through the door, I was given a warm welcome by Zahra who gave me a run down of whats most popular & favorite dishes by the local regulars. One of the most hospitable waitresses I've ever met & she made the restaurant feel even cozier. The chicken is fantastic & definitely worth a try with a side of waffle fries😋❤?
Everything about this place is amazing! Stephanie was top notch as she helped us to choose what to order! The place is so clean! & the fried chicken is the best you can have in Canada! Thank you!
The best fried chicken I've ever had. Stéphanie was amazing, always smiling & helping us choose what to order. Absolutely worth the trip from downtown Montreal to the West Island!

Great service & really friendly staff. It was our first time there & we'll be coming back. Thank you Zara & the team for your wonderful service & food recommendation
Had a great experience at Madame Poulet. Very clean establishment. The chicken tenders were moist & crispy. Marie provide very friendly service. Highly recommend. I even bought take out to bring home for the kids after.
Very amazing food, crispy chicken & delicious waffle fries. Our waitress, Marie, was incredibly kind & caring, she literally offered us a VIP spot in the restaurant! Super generous! Thank you, Marie! 10/10 experience.
Food was super good & not greasy which is hard for restaurants making fried food nowadays! Flavour was on point & our server Marie was super sweet & helpful. Will be back!
Pros: the chicken was fresh & good, the server was friendly & & atmosphere was spacious.
Cons: the fries were undercooked (hard potatoes) but mostly unbelievably slow service, to the point it's disrespectful of your time. I was the only one in line & waited 25 minutes for 2 chicken strips.. Even though I was the only one, I waited 5 minutes to order while the server was on the phone (my order only took 20 seconds..she should have put the person on hold to prioritize present customers). They have one person in front to accommodate: people who walk in, clean & wait on tables, prepare the pickup bags & answer the phones.. there's a lot of waiting around.. there's only one cook in the back who takes her time. I was told they ran out of chicken so she went to make more.. shouldnt there be a second person doing that while another prepares the meals?
