Guess where the family wants to go to dinner tonight????

Damn you blubarry ...damn you !!

We tried this last night and it is a pretty good success. Again, the 8-piece chicken dinner, but with the greek salad and a couple of naan.

The naan were interesting. Not what I'm used to, but pretty good. These appeared to be pre-made, almost factory made. A bit of onion seed on top was nice.

The greek salad was okay, with big chunks of romaine lettuce from the heart of the lettuce that I don't think anyone ever really likes. Still, it was fresh and clean. There could have been more feta on it than the 6 tiny slivers I found. The yogurt/mint dressing was good.

The chicken was incredible. Nice and moist with a crisp skin. I had asked for the spicy version and I could smell what I assumed would be an over-abundance of Frank's Red Hot. Amazingly, I couldn't taste what I was smelling. It was just perfect. The best fried chicken I've had in ages.

Okay. I got the chicken out of the way. Now I want to go back and try a few other things. Seeing as they are only a hop, skip and a jump away from our place (TRA LA LA), I assume I'll be back often.

As each order is only cooked after it is ordered, you do have to wait a fair amount of time. Bring a book, or a phone with a book on it, or an interesting friend, or whatever. As mentioned before, it will take 10-15 minutes.

$30 for what I ordered.

I also went for dinner here today. Got 2 4 piece dinners for takeout, 1 hot and 1 regular. Chicken was delicious, fries were average. Price was great.

Will definitely be back!

Well, since it's like 5 minutes from my house via bus, I know what will be my pre-work meal tommorow. If any Ottawa foodies pop in, I'm the short 20-something with way too much hair.

Here's a public link with hi-res pics of the menu. At some point they'll have their website updated so this will be redundant.

They told me the 5piece chicken fingers is actually cheaper at 6.99 instead of 8.xx.

I can't wait to go back for their fried chicken, this time slathered in chutney. Mmm. I had a piece of leftover chicken today.. Cold, and it was still crazy moist.. wow.

I think some form of freemasonic cypher handshake would do the trick :)

Captain Caper, no it wasn't me, I'm only 5'4", too old to be called a chick anymore and had jeans and a blue rain jacket on. It would be fun though to be able to identify each other. BTW, great photo of the cooker.

Menu1 Don't think it's gonna come out too well due to how the site resizes.

K. Not going to post the rest.. Can't see anything. Might post external links to the images.

Well, I'm going on the weekend.

This chicken is amazing like everyone said: plump, juicy, crispy, incredibly non-greasy, and lightly seasoned. The seasoning is very mild, which allows you to enjoy the chicken flavour but it might be too mild for some. I tried one of them tossed in hot sauce, and it was nice to have variety but I prefer them plain.

Fries were seasoned and boring. I ate a few of them and left the rest. I took one bite of the unnecessary bun to see how it was -- not too bad. Go for the chicken. ;-)

I'd like to get a 4-piece meal with salad instead of fries/bun. That would be awesome.
