First of all, this is gourmet chicken, but more in a gourmet diner sort of way. The food is great, but perhaps not quite at a level of some of the trendier gastropubs popping up everywhere. That being said, they've got heart and the meals are tasty. The side of fries with my hot chicken sandwich was ENORMOUS. My lunch time pal opined that this is what he figures Swiss Chalet would have been like back in the 80s... wholesome, delicious chicken dishes not pretending to be any fancier than they need to be. As at least one other reviewer noted below, the chairs there are horrendous! It's kind of funny - you don't think chairs would make that big of a difference but they kind of force you to lean forward... it's hard to explain. Anyway, that's easily remedied and the food is worth checking out. This is what I would consider a quintessential lunch spot or maybe a good evening-time takeout if you want diner food. It's also worth noting that there is no table service.

I don't even know how to start this review! This joint was recommended by a co-worker. With my family we decided to try the family combo! It's was not a disappointment, it was a pleasant surprise. The Chicken was seasoned well beyond expectations. Brussels Sprouts are a must-try. Whoever came up with this version of Crispy BS(Brussels Sprouts) is a GENIUS. HE/SHE should be kissed on his/her brains. Macaroni was great. The star of the combo was the ROASTED POTATOES!!! I MEAN ๐ โญ๏ธ ๐ ๐ซ. The Fries were okay, crispy enough for the early part of the meal, not a big fan of fries with skin on. That's just me. But the seasoning on it was perfect, just not enough to overcome my dislike of skin-fries. Service was good enough for a five star review. Going back to try the sandwiches soon! For anyone on the fence about trying tis place, JUST GO. If you're not dazzled by the service, I'm certain the food will go you back in! Overall, great spot for chicken!!!!

This is such a lovely little place. First of all, the food was excellent. Freshly made, flavourful sandwich - no frozen chicken patties here! Generous portions - next time I'll order a side to split with someone rather than a sandwich and my own side. Fairly priced for the quality of food you get, and I was really impressed with how creative the special sandwich I ordered was. This is an "order at the counter" kind of establishment which I didn't realize, but it was very efficient and the staff were helpful and patient while we ordered. I imagine the place would be great with a patio in the summer. The only reason I removed a star was for reasons of accessibility. The restaurant is very cramped inside and that could be a challenge for those who use a mobility aid; as well the washrooms have a very narrow door and no handlebars on the walls/reachable sink which does not accomodate for someone in a wheelchair. Overall, we will definitely be back!

Checked out CHKN CHOP over the weekend for the first time. My husband and I always like to sample a few holiday poutines during the month of December and after seeing pics of it on their social media, I knew we had to try it. The photo of the Turtles cookie also kind of twisted my arm. We checked them out on Saturday during lunch time. Walked right in and up to the counter, ordered and they brought it out to the car when it was ready. Lucky we got there when we did because there was a steady line up after we ordered. By the time we got home to Eastern Passage and I opened up the bag, the cookie was all melted and delicious from the heat of the poutine. I was a little skeptical at first paying $3 for the cookie, but it was a HEFTY cookie and SO good I wish we had gotten more than one. The poutine was loaded with cheese curds and chicken and I loved the cranberry sauce. Looking forward to ordering from them again!

The location is ok. There are lots of free parking ๐. ๐ Decorations and layout, although, in my opinion, that the restaurant should be classified as fast food. The decorations is modest and nice. The space is small and can fit small groups. That makes this place unique ๐. Waiting to be seated, my experience, we have to wait for 20 minutes to get seated ๐บ. I understood that the space is not meant for tables serving. Time to get the order. It was really fast. Beyond expectations. Cleanliness, from my experience, the space is cleanliness is within expectations. ๐ Food, the good, was rich, delicious ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ and tasty ๐ ๐ yamy. It is well cooked and prepared, and the food presentation was good ๐ ๐. Prices are affordable and reasonable. Staff are friendly and respectful ๐ ๐ Conclusion I am coming back for sure.

Chkn Chop has became a staple in the north end. Staff is fantastic, and service is quick. Seating is often lacking, but thatโs expected with a place of their size. When they first opened I would have given them a five, but I feel as if the quality has gone down slightly over the years. One thing I donโt like, is that most of the sides are deep fried, including the Brussel sprouts. I used to really enjoy getting these but that last few times I have ordered them, they were too greasy, which is not what I want with my veg. Chicken also seems to be different, like they brine it, and the texture is a little different, not in a good way. If you want a poutine, best in HRM hands down. Unfortunately, itโs not a place I frequent much anymore, when I used to once a month at least.
