Love this place. Been coming for years. Got a whole chicken for dinner. Although it was fall off the bone, it was surprisingly dry & quite salty. It's not usually dry, maybe it was a bad day. The potatoes were bang on though! (Tip: get the potatoes at dinner time; at lunch I find that they hadn't had the time to soak up the chicken goodness & get all soft). I really appreciate that they don't ask for tip at the debit terminal. I respect that.

This place is really great! I've had both the chicken breast & thigh sandwiches, & neither were dry. Definitely get it all dressed, it helps to cut through the heaviness of all the meat & bread. I recommend asking for the (demi-glace?) sauce they have for the chicken. Their prices are amazing, especially for the area. The sausage sandwich is also super great. Obviously not too many options for vegetarians, but they do offer a sandwich made with their roast potatoes- however, I think the potatoes might be cooked in chicken fat.

Excellent sandwich place. I come here often for lunch. The meat is juicy & tender. The toppings are plenty & flavourful, the price is really good too. This is known as a chicken place, but personally I think the roasted pork is the best thing on the menu. Get any sandwich with sauce/gravy. Only gripe is service is a bit slow since they shred the chicken/chop the pork to order. Sausages & potatoes are good too. I usually do takeout since it feels like an oven in the store & it's not nicest storefront but in the winter, it's probably nice & warm.

Might be the best chicken sandwich I've ever had, & their potatoes are to die for. They assemble it with so much care. Absolute perfection

This is the epitome of the chicken sandwich. This place is a must go like la Banquise & Schwartz. Get the poitrine sandwich with gravy, hot sauce & all dress with a side of potatoes....you can thank me later. Cooking chicken rotating over chicken juices flowing from one to the other. I don't know what's their secret but their food tastes like life itself. Please let this place be here forever & never change.
