Thunderbird Fried Chicken - Charing Cross - Award Winning Chicken — Restaurant in London

Well Thunderbirds are definitely in the scamming business.

Not one to write bad reviews, however I’m absolutely tired of these new brands pouring money into their marketing, overselling and failing to deliver.

Charging at audacious price points and falsely advertising their items is an absolute crime. Cheating people to make a quick buck is the way I see it.

Paying £60+ between 3 people, just to receive a large bag of fries that were below half full, in which they were stale and barley seasoned (no over exaggeration) didn’t anticipate to buy air, wings that were supposedly meant to be glazed in their Detroit sauce, but had a smattering amount of sauce as if it were left under a tap and dripped onto the wings.. wouldn’t be the biggest deal in the world if the wings had any flavour, but take a guess.. their wings were marinated in air too. Ordered the box meal which I thought from their amazing visuals would be a breast fillet burger accompanied by 3 tender strips even double checked their description on Uber eats to make sure, turns out I actually got 5 tender strips… the other 2 were just hiding on a bun :D, Great. Again seasoned with just air and cereal.

Glad I didn’t follow through and order their churros because as sweet as they may have seemed at the time, they would have definitely left a sour taste in my mouth with their efforts to disappoint.

Thank you Thunderbirds, for reinforcing a valuable lesson in life that I sometimes forget. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Money now well spent when I frame it like that.

Better off getting my fried chicken In the ghetto, at least I’ll be full.

The chicken is cooked fresh for you, a bit like Raising Canes in the US. The restaurant is nicely presented with their branding but tiny, with very little seating. We arrived just after midday & got a table but later & it gets busy & a struggle to get a table. The seasoning on the Chicken is ok but lacking something. Not as flavoursome as KFC & subsequently you need a sauce. Problem is they charge for Sauces & they aren't that great. We ordered a bucket of chicken fillets with 12 in which comes with a small fries portion for £20, which isn't cheap. Plus drinks on top. A meal for 1 is about £10. The chicken itself was in the main, tender & juicy, but unlike KFC or some other chicken outlets it really needed a sauce. They do about 6 flavours of sauce. We tried, blue cheese, chipuffalo, awesome sauce, & red pepper aioli. None were anything to write home about & we had to buy 1 extra as they provide 3 with the bucket but the portions are pretty small. They don't provide free ketchup or mayo like most other chicken restaurants, which is a bit of a fail. You have to buy theirs & it's £1 for a tiny pot. A great money spinner I'm sure. We were lucky enough to previously live in a city with Raising Canes, who really know how to do the chicken finger meal. The benchmark in my opinion. You get a great special sauce, refillable drinks & great chips with Raising Canes & these guys are sadly not near their standard. I'd go to KFC instead in this country, the chicken...

Underwhelming experience, which was a real shame. We are a family of four and keen to try the burgers and wings. Hungry family and the bill for four came to around £70. The service was poor, no real help, food plopped up on the counter. Asked for ketchup for the kids meal (two small chicken strips and a small handful of fries and a fruit shoot), but was told there wasn't any. Had a BBQ burger, which consistent of two small bits of chicken in a bun with chips and a can of coke. In fairness, tasted OK, pensentaion was fair. Asked for extra napkins (you need them!) and the guy was reluctant to provide them. Possibly the worst bit was the loos, the smell of damp, blue lights (like the ones used to prevent drug users from injecting), plus both were unisex toilets - was all rather disgusting. We hurriedly ate, left and agreed we should have gone somewhere else. I'm guessing the place is better served by those ordering a delivery and eating it at home.... Finally, the receipt says "leave a 5 star review and you'll be entered into a weekly draw to win a £20 dine in voucher from Thunderbird", which could account for the high...
