Reviews for Chicken On The Way in Calgary, AB
It has been a while since I've been and I am shocked at how terrible it is now. The chicken is coated in some super thick and... salty coating where before it was nice and crispy chicken skin. The fries were a soggy mess and with it came half a fryer of oiland the gravy was just OK where as before it was the best part. Chicken of the way will now just be a memory of the past, what ashame.

Worst I?ve ever had at this location in MacKenzie Town. Had 12 pieces (asked me 4 times if that was all), lg coleslaw and 6... fritters. It was super busy so you would think that the chicken would not be over cooked and greasy. The fritters were superoily as well which never happens. Usually the cooks here are really good. Really dissatisfied as I?ve been eating Chicken on theWay for 55 years. I need to start looking at other options. Not worth the drive to take it back. The picture is the remaining 7pieces. Update: The owner has offered to replace the meal which is great as I really do like the chicken, fritters etc. hatsoff to Bruce! Read more
My husband picked up a 20 PC, 2 large fries and an order of fritters on his way home today. For the second time in a month, (I... ordered through skip the first time.) The fries are saturated in oil. They are inedible and soggy. The chicken is over cooked,oil is seeping out from under the skins but the meat underneath is dry and hard. Chicken on The Way was our go to if we wantedfried chicken. Not anymore. We will not be returning for round 3 or beyond. Note: I did call to complain and the manager was notavailable. The young man on the phone was polite when telling me that CoTW is using a different oil as there was a shortage andthe regular oil should be back later this week. So they are aware and still selling this slop. Read more

Just picked up a bonus meal from here and not overly impressed. Got home excited to dig into the chicken and fries to find out... the fries aren?t cooked and the chicken is little tiny pcs. I did get a pc of fish to try as well but haven?t yet. Waste of the22.50 only thing good was the corn fritter. Won?t be going back anytime soon. Not mad just disappointed Read more
I just moved to the area. Have tried 14th st twice. Wasn't a huuuuge fan then. Had a craving for fritters so popped in this... afternoon. Ordered fish and fritters. WOW...... Sooooo oily. Omg. The fish had a thick batter and was so greasy I ate half ofthe 2 huge pieces :( The fritters are very dense. Thick batter. No dip offered. Honey or a Buttermilk ranch would have beendecent. It's been about 10 years and unfortunately this is my last. Service was friendly Read more
The chicken comes wrapped in brown paper which is super cute and environmentally friendly and acts as a tablecloth for outdoor... dining. The chicken itself was perfectly cooked and juicy. I ordered 2 - 4 piece dinners and subbed out the fries for frittersin one order and added gravy. The fritters were heavy and would not order again - but if you like a hearty fritter then you mayenjoy these. The fries were good and the gravy was what I expected - service was excellent - the photos attached show package toplate. You get a lot of fritters when you pay the $1 to substitute as shown. I believe I received 9 total plus the 2 in theother box gave us 11 - ???? that?s a lot of fritters for 2 meals - I do recommend Chicken on the way - prices were very good forthe size of the meal.

Usually the food we get from Chicken on the way is fantasticly tasty. I was driving by on the way home when. We decide we wanted... chicken on the way. This location could be slower affecting serving size. Or the price of meat could have gone up again. Ormaybe it's that this location isn't as busy as their other locations and the serving size suffers. Either way the slaw was good,the fries were great as always and the fritter was also great. Mind you it may have been the bottom of the bag there were manysmall pieces of fries. We ordered the bonus meal and the bonus wasn't all that bonusy. Docking one star because the chickenwasn't the same size as it usually is. The batter and seasoning was good but the wing piece was small and dry and that's notusually the case. It looked like a wing you get on wing night with not much meat on it. Would rather go back to their McLeodtrail location for better chicken. Read more
