Chicken Chef — Restaurant in Rural Municipality of Coldwell

This was my first visit & my last. When we arrived early afternoon on October 30th, the server told us to pick any seat, so we sat down at the cleanest of the dirty tables. The server came back and cleaned the food/dishes that looked like they were sitting for an hour. He took the dishes away, but didn't bother wiping the table down. It was disgusting. The paper placemats stuck to the table & there was hair on the table. We asked about breakfast & he never came back to take our order. Someone who looked like they've been there before took some cups and poured us some coffee. The table was so dirty the coffee mugs stuck to it. We waited at least 25 minutes & the server never even came to take our order let alone refill the coffee he didn't bring us. We ended up walking out & then the server told one of the guys with us that we had to pay for the coffee. I've had bad service at restaurants every once in a while, but the bad service at your establishment makes the worst service I've had at a restaurant feel like a 5 star restaurant. I'd suggest a career adjustment be in order for whoever was working...

I stopped here on my way back to Winnipeg to pick up something to drink. Upon arriving, I witnessed Chicken Chef staff Charlotte (a bigger woman with bleached blonde hair and brown roots) belittling and kicking out an elderly woman with clear mobility issues who seemingly had to use the bathroom/had an emergency. I have stopped here many times in the past, but after seeing this awful customer service behaviour toward our most vulnerable citizens, I will be taking my business elsewhere. The elderly woman did not have her walker and was assisted out of the bathroom by two folks accompanying her. I was appalled by the language being used by staff Charlotte. The folks accompanying the elderly woman were obviously upset as the staff provoked them. I recommend Charlotte attend Manitoba BEST Service Excellence training or have management review customer service etiquette/soft skills/workplace expectations with her. Though Lundar is a small town, equating to fewer available workers, there should still be set expectations being followed by employees. This happened on February 24, 2025, in...

Okay, I really tried to give this place a chance, but nope—never again. First of all, the coleslaw? Straight-up betrayal in a cup. It was so sour I thought it was trying to pickle my soul. Had to toss it faster than my ex’s hoodie.

Then came the chicken, which I’m assuming was cooked during the Bronze Age and then fossilized. So dry, I nearly had to call 911 for my taste buds. We ended up throwing most of it out—may it rest in overcooked peace.

The fries? Meh. They existed. Gravy was the only thing holding it together, like the duct tape of the meal.

Bottom line: this location is a culinary crime scene. Do yourself a favour and eat literally...
