Moody's — Restaurant in Waitākere Ranges

Moody’s Fried Chicken is a must-visit! The staff are incredibly lovely, helpful, and respectful, making the experience so enjoyable. It’s located in a food court called Street Feast, which is a fantastic spot. The food court has a beautiful, dog-friendly balcony – something I really, really appreciated. I went there with my dog, and we both had a great time relaxing and enjoying the lively atmosphere.

Now, let’s talk about the food – it’s absolutely delicious! There’s a variety of options to choose from, and everything I tried was top-notch. The cheesy curly fries are massive and satisfying, the 10 chicken bites were flavorful, and the 8 chicken wings were perfectly cooked – juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

The chicken comes soaked in sauce, which is perfect for a sauce lover like me. However, if you’re not into saucy chicken, you should ask them to serve the sauce on the side. Even without the sauce, the chicken is so well-prepared that it stands out on its own.

I ordered 10 chicken bites, 8 chicken wings, a chicken sandwich, and a big cheesy curly fries, all for $65. The portions were generous and worth the price. Out of everything, the chicken sandwich was the highlight for me, followed closely by the chicken bites.

There’s also a wide selection of sauces, so there’s something for everyone. But if you’re not into spicy food, stick to the no-spicy options, as even the “not very spicy” sauces can have a bit of a kick.

One thing to note: Moody’s is not fast food. Don’t compare it to places like KFC or Texas Chicken. Your food is cooked fresh, so it takes some time – but it’s absolutely worth the wait!

Overall, I had a fantastic experience. The combination of delicious food, dog-friendly seating, and great service makes this a spot I’ll definitely return to....

Once I went to KFC And ordered me a bucket. Went to hospital shortly after Because they forgot to cook it.

Next time I fancied spicy wings I called ChickHen Republic. More grease than Pelopennese, I threw up twice in public.

But soon the cravings came again, I needed me some chook. Some crispy, spicy goodness That wouldn't make me crook.

So I parked my car at Street Feast, Beers on happy hour. Bought myself a hazy ale, The Mrs, a Pisco Sour.

Scanned the room for tasty grub Hmm... pizza? Burgers? No... But Moody's Chicken over there? Perhaps that could be a go...

The Mrs tapped me on the shoulder, Come on, its nearly 7! "Sorry love, where have I been? Ive just experienced heaven!"

"I'm sold", I said, "converted! Where do I go to pray?" "That's $22", the kind man said, "All you have to do is pay."

I left bemused, shaken up, My taste buds all a flutter, How could chicken taste so good? I could barely mutter...

So crispy and so juicy, Uber or Doordash. You can even pair this delicious meal, With a can of Golden Pash.

And now, since then, I've recommended To amateurs or to foodies, If you want the best chicken in town, You won't go...

Perfectly cooked chicken with fantastic sauces! Nice and spicy (if that's what you choose).

Out of all the fantastic food options at Street Feast I will never return to Moody's.

This evening I was in for a sixty minute wait for a fried chicken burger with 5 chicken bites on the side, by this point my friends had finished their Thai and Mex and I still had time to order my own tacos at around 45 minutes waiting and almost finish eating those before my burger was ready.

I checked on the progress of my order at 30 minutes and about 45 minutes and was told both times that they just needed another four. I would have asked for a refund if I realised it wasn't even under way as there are multiple fantastic options for food.

Every other time I've ordered at Moody's that have been slower than the other stalls, and this was too...
