Reviews for Church's Chicken in Coquitlam, BC
2 Fry's for 22$ and both could fit into 1 box. So incredibly CHEAP. They could easily fill the box for that price and still make... a big profit. 55.80$ for 2 Fry's a 2 pc meal a chicken sandwich and 3.70$ for a small 7-up. BIG TIME RIP OFF Read more
This location is not my favourite one, but it's the one I used to frequent before I moved from the area, and the staff are... typically pleasant and the food is good. Last night I went there with a friend and we ordered 5 items to go, which equaled 2boxes, one pouch of poppers, a pot of gravy and one wrapped sandwich. When we got to our destination we unpacked and realizedthey forgot the sandwich. This may seem pretty minor, but it's close to $10 and I can't tell you the trouble it caused. Myfriend felt bad for not noticing since he took the bag, my wife felt bad because I then felt obligated to give her my chickensince I failed to bring her the sandwich she asked for when I offered to get her something, I felt stupid for not checkingmyself, and because technically I could have gone back and corrected it, but I felt even stupider borrowing my friends car (hedrove) just to get a sandwich I failed to check on when we were at the counter. I also felt bad because I was incredibly hungryafter not eating most of the day. The reason I am explaining all this is because (believe it or not) I have a point; I don'treally mind the screw ups when packing an order. It's a stressful job, especially after the pandemic, and the staff do theirbest. I think they are generally excellent. I certainly don't enjoy bagging on anyone in the service industry. However, the teammember serving us pulled a Popeye's and laid out the order receipt next to the bag and appeared to be checking everything as itgot picked up. This is what Popeye's does and they are always flawless when it comes to handing off an order. I think thislocation learnt from that and implemented that practice, but didn't teach the staff how to do it properly, rather than how tojust make it look like you are doing it. And that really instills a false sense of accuracy and dependability when watching yourorder get put together because it appears as if you wouldn''t need to check it because they just did. That's my Read more
Ordered a sandwich and boneless chicken. Noticed that none of the staff wore any kind of PPE or gloves or even washed their... hands between handling money and making our sandwich. It was disgusting to see! Wish I would go taken a picture. Standard foodsafe procedures say you must wash your hands at a minimum. Anyways we thought we would trust the food and brought it home toeat? then all that night and the next two days had food poisoning! This place needs a health inspection and to have its stafftrained properly! Keep far away! There are plenty of other good places around, unfortunately they are all more expensive. Butafter this experience, I will take spending more money over 3 days of pain! Read more
WOW. Much improved now! Looks like the manager finally listened to reviews, retrained the cooks, and changed the frying oil.... The big, tall dude behind the counter did it right today. Finally the chicken were fried to golden colour instead of brown, double battered, juicy like other Church?s. Dude even went above and beyond and presented our chicken legs neatly hahaha! Icingon the cake, they also fixed the dim lighting, as well as the old furniture. The ambiance is now much better. For a long time,I always avoided this branch whenever possible because the same reasons others have said. Hopefully today wasn?t a one-off. Willcome more often now! Read more
I went tonight at about 9 pm to order an 8 piece combo. I took it home and when I opened the box the smell was horriable. It... smelt off and burnt, so I tasted a small piece and had to spit it out. So I packed it up and took it back to the store. Italked to the manager and explained his oil must be burnt or the chicken is off. He gave me another box and I could smell itright away. He gave me a piece to try and I was like that is so bad. I told him to smell it and to taste it. Which he would not.You think with food safe, as a manager you would want to know if your product is gone bad or burnt. He didn't throw away any ofthe other chicken even though he knew it was no good. He asked if I would wait and he would get me fresh chicken. So I waited,thinking he took care of the issue. I came home and at first it seemed fine, until you took a bite. Again tasting off andburnt. By this time my kids are hungry and have no time to go out again to return for a refund. But the issue was not takencare of.This is not acceptable, listen to your customers and check the quality of your food. But by seeing the other reviews, Isee this is a consistant issue at this location. We will not be coming back. Read more
Averaged chicken, the presentation isn?t the best but it?s very tasty. Limited parking but it?s located in a good spot. Compared... to other church?s that I?ve been to, the restaurant is clean and maintained. Definitely would continue stopping by. Read more
I've been going to this location for about 2 years. The staff are lovely, orders are prompt, and I come way too often. Best... spicy fried chicken! Until about a month or two ago...I've been getting batches that taste like it was fried in old oil orsomething. When I pick up my box, I can tell right away because it smells smokey. The batter looks darker than usual, and itdoesn't taste good. I hope they fix whatever the problem is because this is my favourite fried chicken place. Added note, Iusually pick up around midnight.
