Chicken 'N Chips — Restaurant in Nashua

So first off, I was a regular at Chicken N Chips when it was the original owner. Heck, I lived less than a 3 minute walk from them for a few years (was quite the regular back then.) Some of you may know that Chicken N Chips (as owned by Jimmy of Uncle Joey's in Merrimack) had a fire a few years back, and there was no Chicken N Chips downtown anymore. Well low and behold, Chicken N Chips is back. Same location, the original Phone number is back too. So lets talk about the insides. Nice and clean interior. Sadly the chicken museum is gone (no surprise, it was probably destroyed in the fire) Great looking tables, nice and clean counter and order area, the bar looks fantastic. Wait, Bar?! There's a full bar in Chicken N Chips now? Okay, that's kinda interesting. I suppose after a long day or week, might be a nice place to grab a drink, relax, and enjoy a good meal. I did not partake in the bar on this visit, so I can not speak to the service or drinks. But no worries. Okay, let's get to the food. I ordered the Original OG Chick Stix Dinner. 6 Chick Stix, fries, a sampling of cole slaw and a sauce of your choice. I went in with an open mind. The chick sticks themselves, look great! Good color, nice size. Great start. But how do they taste? Gotta say, they were really good. Breading was just right,m nice and crispy exterior, chicken itself was perfectly cooked, nice flavor and a really easy and great eat. 5 Stars! Awesome! The fries. Maybe I'm old school, but I like my fries a bit thicker cut. These were on the thin side (Might just be their vendor) and were a little flimsy and could have had a bit better french fry flavor. Was a little bummed there, they're decent fries, but I'd just like to see them go with a thicker french fry. Ordering was super easy, the staff was really friendly and made the experience all together great. The pay screen prompted for joining a point club (I forgot to sign up so can't tell you about that yet) Hoping it's similar to the days of old where after X meals you get a free one, but we'll see. Overall I'd highly recommend stopping by if you haven't done so yet. There's a great menu filed with some really good looking items there as well. I'll be...

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED. I don't even want to give this a star. Growing up this was my favorite fried chicken place - I've ranted and raved about it forever to friends and family. I have a family of over 30, we'd do Sunday dinner's at least 6 times a year ordering a ton of chicken on the bone, jo jo's coleslaw, fries etc.. The last two times I TRIED to eat here in the last two weeks, my order for delivery never showed up the first time, they never called, and when we called, they didn't even apologize or offer to send someone back out. This time, they sent us the wrong thing. We ordered chicken on the bone family pack and they sent us a tender pack an hour later. When we realized it was wrong, we called, explained what we ordered and what we were supposed to get. They told us we were wrong, that they did it right, and they offered no solution. After bringing up the fact that the last order placed never showed up, I was angry. They were rude, they didn't care that they messed up the order, and they wanted us to pay for their mistake! It was unbelievable. I have never so much as sent food back at a restaurant or complained to management. When they were getting the order they didn't put me on hold and they tried to convince someone there to come on and pretend to be the manager so he wouldn't find out. I got angrier. I hung up convinced I'd never go back to chicken 'n chips. Then the manager has the gall to call back, hears our "story" and then does absolutely nothing about it. He was rude and claimed we were trying to scam him. DON'T...

Look, you know what you're getting when you come here: 'deep fry everything and serve it up hot and ready'. This isn't a cloth napkin kinda place and it doesn't pretend to be, so don't expect anything but great down-home service and staple southern fried food at a fantastic price point.

I'm a huge fan of their wings, personally. I'm a connoisseur by any stretch, and very rarely do I visit a place and think "I'd rather order their wings than make my own", but this is the place. If you like your heat crazy high then order them plain and toss them at home, but for a solid order of wings I don't know why anyone would go up the block to Wing Stop.

The staff is great- always upbeat and engaged, the fish and chips left a little to be desired (odd cut of haddock from a little further back in a smaller fish than I'd like) but everything else I've had here is stellar. Do yourself a favour, when you're craving some southern staples call ahead (give them 15m or so for an order) and order what you fancy and save yourself a night of deep frying and cleaning at home- this is the mythical place that makes food like you want to at the house, just without the mess. It'll cost you- but it'll cost you to do it at home too and probably won't come out as solid and your time is worth money too, so don't pinch pennies...
