Reviews of Chicken on the Way
from GoogleIf I could they would get 0 stars . The food was terrible if you want to call it that . The so called potatoe salad was cold mashed potatoes with couple green onion I guess . No mayo nothing . The fish was dried out . A waste of $65.55 dollars. Asked for large potatoe salad got two med it did not make a large anyway so got ripped off either way .We called the woman who answered was rude and said we were busy there was not a person in the place . She said bring the food back please be careful the next customers may get the terrible stuff there trying to say is fresh or just double cooked heated up
I just stopped by here about an hour ago. The lady and the guy who were working were very nice. My fish and chips and my gravy and my potato salad were absolutely fresh and delicious. I was really happy because last time I came to this location it’s been a while. It wasn’t that great but today everything was awesome.
I ordered online around 17:40, it said my order would be ready at 18:11. Got there at that time and the counter lady said they’re working on it, I said ‘no problem, do you know how long it’ll be?’ (Figured I could go get some groceries next door if it was going to be a while) and the lady cooking in the back started shouting at me and slamming cooking utensils on the counter. I couldn’t make out everything she was shouting it was half at me in English and half at her coworker at the counter in a different language. Order was ready about 30 seconds later. Food ended up being pretty delicious! Just beware of the mean lady lurking in the back.
The portion size for the fish and chips is great! Huge pieces of fish with decent fries. They're exactly what you expect so nothing special. The shrimp looks big but 90% is just the breading. Taste is bland so be sure to use the dipping sauce. The fritters were fluffy, hot, and sweet! Overall not bad in terms of taste but the price is not worth how much you pay. Good for when you're craving something fast.
As I was standing in the long queue at Service Canada and was super hungry as well. I happen to notice this eatery with Halal sign. I found the owner very polite and welcoming when he understood that I’m very new here. I ordered 1 chicken leg but he gave a drumstick as well as a courtesy. Thanks to this man!
Pulled up at 9:15pm on a Friday and was told by the young Filipino guy inside that he was “out of chickens”. Said he could only cook fish or shrimp but no chickens. A restaurant called “chicken on the way” could not cook chicken because I came in 15 minutes before closing. I got the impression that he just didn’t want to do any more work. Even though myself and my wife, who also worked all day, were just looking for a good meal for us and our kids. Don’t visit here. Chicken on the way will just refuse to cook you chicken.
Go anywhere else
The corn fritters are a must! Cheap delicious deep fried all the things.

Before you go
There is no dining room: it is takeout and delivery only, so plan to take it home. It has been in Calgary a long time and is inexpensive. Online orders are easy to pick up, so give yourself a few extra minutes at the counter. Diners find the staff very welcoming, and the gravy, potato salad and fish are fresh, so it is worth a visit for a simple, filling meal.
