Last weekend, my boyfriend and I have ordered Chicken On the Way for dinner. The one we’ve been visiting is the McKenzie Town location. We ordered Family Combo to go. We had a good experience than our expectations. Chicken on the Way is the fast food restaurant in Calgary and the servings are generous and delicious chickens, which is the same style as KFC.
We arrived the Chicken On the Way around 5 pm. There was a huge lineup, but the line went very fast. After waiting for few minutes, we got our order. We had a family pack, which included Chickens, French Fries, Cornballs, Gravy, and Vegetable Salad. The chickens were oily and crispy. French Fries were OK and nothing excited. Compare to McDonald’s, I like McDonald fries more. The Cornballs were my favorite. They were sweet and crispy. Dipped cornballs into the Gravy. The taste was awesome. The prices of the food were very cheap around $28. In summary, we had a great experience at Chicken on the Way.
The chicken, gravy and fries are, in my opinion, 10/10. The price is incredible (12.50 for a 5 piece) however I'm willing to pay more if I got some happiness out of the people at the till. Been here 3 times, all 3 the food was incredible; but feel like the most miserable people in Calgary work the front till here. Still, the unhappy grunts from the staff are worth the deliciousness you're about to receive.
When I get fried chicken I have to embarrassing admit I love KFC. However , the chicken here is great. Fried perfectly. The fritters are great too.
It's fried chicken, it fit the part. Nothing to write home about, but not complaints on the chicken side either. We got a side of shrimp, I'll pass on that in the future.

Family Meal Deal. We stopped on Sunday after church and picked up the family meal deal for lunch. The service was excellent, as was the food. For only 29.00 the family enjoyed a great lunch and we even have enough left for lunch again tomorrow. Was fantastic.
I'm shocked that in all the years of either living in or visiting Calgary, I have never tried this place! Best fried chicken I've had north of the border! It had that homemade taste to everything, and that really makes a difference. The chicken had a nice, crispy outside and was super juicy inside. KFC could really take some pointers from this! The fries were up there with Five Guys in my books and the gravy was fantastic! All these great points are only made better by the unbelievably fair prices! Can't wait to go back!
Better than the original location. The chicken and fritters we're excellent, they didn't taste like 5 year old grease.
This was our first time picking up from this location and we'll be back.
The staff was friendly and efficient.
The chicken is good, gravy goes great with those fritters! One one complaint is that poutine is not on the menu!
Staff is super friendly and prices are good!
Good crispy fried chicken and amazing fries with gravy. I guess if you're a pretentious snob (looking at you
Stuart) keep your Starbucks and toque on and go pay for an overpriced meal somewhere else.
Great service, great food, fair pricing!!!
I'll definetly be back for more!
If you need a night off of cooking dinner, come on down and pound some delicious chicken
Awesome chicken gravy is great beats the hell out of KFC
Outstanding crispy chicken and delicious gravy.
They’re a little shop that takes take-out only, and often, the line is out the door (rain or shine)! The first time I ate there, I purchased their daily special – and on that day, it was 3 piece chicken, fries and a fritter with gravy! The wait time wasn’t bad at all, and it comes in their famous yellow box that smells so good just holding the hot contents. The chicken was perfectly fried and perfectly seasoned! Their pieces of chicken are actually larger than some other places that serves fried chicken. These large pieces of chicken has super crispy skin and really juicy chicken meat! It’s a perfect fried chicken in my opinion. The fries and fritter during my first visit was over fried and over salted, but all other times I’ve revisited the location, they’ve fixed that problem and made it better! I really enjoyed their fritters – even though
