We love Chicken on the Way, but this location is super inconsistent, mostly not up to snuff. We ordered the family meal today and the chicken ranged from not crispy and barely cooked to burned. I assume they are batch frying and then refrying the chicken. But the oil must be old because man, it is making everything soggy and imparting some kind of bitter taste. The fritters tasted like they’d been sitting under a warmer all day and were mushy, not crispy at all. And somehow the fries were undercooked and still raw. We picked the order up ourselves so this wasn’t a delivery misfire. It’s super disappointing but we’re not going to bother ordering again as we’ve given them multiple chances. I am sad the this company went from being family owned to a franchise because man, standards have slipped. Edited to Add Response to Owner: Wow, I’d love to take a hug if it comes with a refund and a courtesy meal with chicken that’s cooked properly. šŸ¤— Seriously, your response to my comments tells potential customers all they need to know about you and your location. Never mind that the majority of your recent Google reviews mention all the same issues I do. It’s clearly all of us who are conspiring against your brilliance, desperately seeking hugs and such.

Last weekend, my boyfriend and I have ordered Chicken On the Way for dinner. The one we’ve been visiting is the McKenzie Town location. We ordered Family Combo to go. We had a good experience than our expectations. Chicken on the Way is the fast food restaurant in Calgary and the servings are generous and delicious chickens, which is the same style as KFC. We arrived the Chicken On the Way around 5 pm. There was a huge lineup, but the line went very fast. After waiting for few minutes, we got our order. We had a family pack, which included Chickens, French Fries, Cornballs, Gravy, and Vegetable Salad. The chickens were oily and crispy. French Fries were OK and nothing excited. Compare to McDonald’s, I like McDonald fries more. The Cornballs were my favorite. They were sweet and crispy. Dipped cornballs into the Gravy. The taste was awesome. The prices of the food were very cheap around $28. In summary, we had a great experience at Chicken on the Way.

The chicken comes wrapped in brown paper which is super cute and environmentally friendly and acts as a tablecloth for outdoor dining. The chicken itself was perfectly cooked and juicy. I ordered 2 - 4 piece dinners and subbed out the fries for fritters in one order and added gravy. The fritters were heavy and would not order again - but if you like a hearty fritter then you may enjoy these. The fries were good and the gravy was what I expected - service was excellent - the photos attached show package to plate. You get a lot of fritters when you pay the $1 to substitute as shown. I believe I received 9 total plus the 2 in the other box gave us 11 - šŸ˜‚ that’s a lot of fritters for 2 meals - I do recommend Chicken on the way - prices were very good for the size of the meal.

I like to come here a lot even during Covid, no problems at all. Today was a different story. After I ordered I had noticed they have six people working and 3 not wearing a mask. I nicely asked for a refund, didn't want to say why because I didn't want confrontation but they asked so I told them it was because they have all this food out like cut up potatoes and are handling and cooking the food without masks on. She was rude and I just said I don't want to argue I just want my money back. She proceeded to tell me that they don't do debit refunds so I said I don't care just give me my money back please. She pulls out this tin of money and is going through it and was going to give me only the items I paid for but I had also tipped so I asked for the full amount. I will be reporting this place for not following health and safety guidelines and if you go here and see stuff like this please do as well. I want to support local businesses and get them through this hard time but I will not support businesses that aren't being safe and looking after their customers. I will never go here again. Please stay safe everyone!

Since you can't reply after the owner replies I will edit this instead. You say they always follow the rules then your should talk to the older gentleman who was preparing the food and putting stuff in the boxes with no mask on. I'm assuming you guys have cameras there so when the health and safety come they can review the footage from today. Do not act like I don't know what I saw and am making this up. I have been a loyal customer for 7 years since I moved into McKenzie Towne and I would have zero reason to post this about a place I have ate at regularly for no reason. Follow the safety guidelines like every other food place does. You even sell masks at the front so how come your employees cant wear one? You should not be cooking and preparing food without a...

Screwed up an office lunch! It was my turn to do our monthly lunch hour organizing as we do this at work each month. I work in a group of 11 people. I had bragged about Chicken on the Way a lot so some other employees were waiting to try it out as most had only tried Mary Browns and KFC. Now I should mention I always go to the location by the Brick on Macleod when I want chicken but noticed they had this location in Mckenzie which was just a tad bit closer to our office. I called in at 11 and talked with the lady and told her I was going to place the order and then pick it up at noon. I placed our order and was good. I got there at 1155 and told the lady I was here to pick up and they had not even started it as she said it was busy! Finally got the order ready at 1220! didn't get back to the office til 1230 already lost 30 mins of lunch. Now on the missing or screwed up items. missing 3 pieces of chicken, I think fries too but somehow the fries were in a big box so have no idea if they combined them or more importantly why???? missing 4 corn balls and 4 pieces of chicken didn't have skin on them or it fell off and was no where to be found. Called the store immediately and asked for a manager to complain and was told he stepped out and to try a bit later. Are you serious! So my lunch choice was an epic fail and reading the comments from the manager here seems like they only apologize and offer you nothing for there mistakes! Unbelievable. You want my business again then fix it. Give me an incentive worth me choosing you again. I could've and should've gone to my tried and true...

I've been going to this location for years.. 3 and 4 times a week.. I love the chicken and have started ordering the fish.. fantastic.. the staff is hot and cold though.. the owner, management and family is great.. ask and you shall relieve. Or get charged for it.. The weekend staff need help.. asking for a extra tartar sauce with your fried fish.. I even offered to pay for it.. nope. Company policy means 1 fish 1 sauce how dare you ask for 2 even if you offered to pay. They sell fresh chicken.. whole or cut up.. great for my family.. ask them to buy a couple potatoes to save a trip to sobeys during covid times.. even after I spent 100 bucks and offered way more then the potatoes were worth.. nope. Wouldn't even try to ask someone who can make those decisions.. overall its a great location with good food.. carefull who you deal with though.. some of the employees follow the company line so much they don't realize that a happy customer is a returning customer. Just dont ask for anything extra or offer to pay for anything extra.. these are different times for sure and we should all be working together to stay in business... i know the potatoes today was a strange request.. but knowing how awesome some of the staff is I figured a favor of paying to much for 5 potatoes so I didn't have to go into the lager grocery store for 1 item would have been...
