Chicken Chef - North Main Winnipeg I would do NO star but it won't let me. May 8, 2026 Reuben sandwich had mold on the crust. Replaced bread with barely toasted bread. Gave the same French fries on a different plate. Scraped the reub filling from original sandwich onto the barely toasted new bread. Instead of not charging for the meal they would only discount the meal by 10% which made it $18 on the bill. Disgusting. read more

I do not like this restaurant chain. The food is not so great and for what you pay not worth it. Most of the restaurants are old and hard to keep clean. Just not a place I would recommend to anyone. read more

I have been a customer for years . I became a customer because of the size of chicken and the place was clean. The new owner is not keeping up with to the same standard . The chicken piece are way smaller and prices have gone up . They are now just like a dirty chicken de light. read more

The pizza! The other guys advertise "it's all about the sauce" we absolutely love the sauce and toppings on their pizza. Sure we order the chicken and the pieces are large, juicy, and tasty. Love it! We did order from another location before and it was terrible. Marion location will not disappoint read more

I was here once. The personnel was very friendly​ and chatty. There were a ​plethora of free space inside. I choose a table and got a menu​ within a minute. Service was surprisingly​ fast and I didn't wait too​ long to get my meal. I had a feeling that they have a plethora old fans who are​ coming here rather than choosing anything else from the big chain. They accept AMEX which is always great :) read more

Why has it taken me so long to try Chicken Chef?!? OMG, fried chicken has to be one of my guilty pleasures. But I am also vain and like to maintain my figure, so if I am going to splurge calorically for a night, that fried chicken better be good. Good thing, I lucked out because I was pretty impressed with Chicken Chef; the chicken was fried perfectly! Don't even bother with KFC! The "bantam bucket" ($29.25) serves 4-5 and comes with 12 pieces chicken, large fries, large coleslaw and 4 Weston buns. I had a coupon (another great thing about this place) so it came to $25.99. They have coupons on their website all the time. There was a good assortment of white and dark meat so it will please a crowd. I love that the meat had a good flavour, I figure that the meat was brined for a while. The white meat was juicy and moist - a rarity with fried chicken. The fries were unsalted, kinda nice since you can adjust accordingly. Fries were nice and crispy. The coleslaw had very thinly shredded cabbage, it wasn't too creamy and had a nice tang too it. Also tried the potato salad, I'm not a huge fan of it but my sister really liked it. It had eggs, potatoes, green onions and carrots - a little too creamy and rich for me. I call these Weston buns because they sell these at Superstore (from Weston Bakery) in a large package. They're great for BBQ season. It's very much the refined white bun but I eat so much whole grain stuff daily so I am so happy when I get to eat baked goods made with white flour! LOL. I ordered take out but I didn't realize that the Chicken Chef on Marion is also a dine in restaurant. And that they offered more items than chicken and pizza in the restaurant. There were a lot of items written up on the white board like reubens, burgers, lasagna etc. They even serve breakfast here all day long. Who knew? The interior is quite dated, very dark wallpaper with massive flower patterns. But it has that family style restaurant feel to it as it seemed to attract a lot of people from the neighbourhood.

I've heard so many good things about this restaurant, so I thought I would finally try it. We made a special trip to go there. The chicken was good, we loved the gravy. When we arrived we got no greeting (which is fine) I went up to the counter and got ignored, a couple of the employees looked right at me. Another customer went up to the counter and they knew him and served him first. Which I found a little bit rude. Than when I finally was able to order I had a couple questions. (With it being my first time going there) I received a eye roll and sigh with each one. (Total of only two questions) They really need to work on customer service. I won't be going back, not worth the gas money read more

I am visitor to Winnipeg and had a good experience with Chicken Chef a few years ago. On this trip, I chanced upon the St-Boniface location on Marion Street. First, the positive. The fried chicken was well prepared, well-seasoned and crispy. For those who know about this guilty pleasure, they clearly brine the chicken or soak it in seasoned buttermilk. The fact that the chicken tasted good is what elevated this review from two to three stars. The service was fast and reasonably friendly at the outset. My meal was a three-piece meal with mashed potatoes, coleslaw and roll. Aside for this, it seems like they are indifferent about REPEAT custom. For just under $12, I got a drumstick, wing and thigh. The pieces were smaller than average and I would have been embarrassed about serving that plate. When I asked if I could have a piece of white meat, I was told that it was alright, but I should have mentioned that when I ordered. I guess I erroneously assumed that for that price, getting one piece of white wouldn't be a special "favor". Instead of replacing one of the tiny drumstick or wing pieces, they replaced the thigh. The coleslaw was good, but the mashed potatoes tasted watered down. For the price I paid, it just didn't represent good value and I left there still a bit hungry. My server checked in once when I exchanged pieces, but never again. I was not thanked, even when I paid my bill at the entrance counter. It seems like this restaurant team REALLY needs a kick in the butt to up their devotion to providing patrons with a good experience - an experience that will lead to repeat business. They have a good product, but I doubt I'll ever return unless they stop being so cheap with their chicken and treat customers with a bit more appreciation. read more

When Les Voyageurs helped establish Fort Gibraltar northeast of the Red and Assiniboine trading post in the prohibitive Red River Valley, they must have envisioned that one day a warm, hospitable group of merchants would provide a respite of a hot feast for cold, weary winter souls. Over 300 years later that vision would come to fruition near the Red River trading post in the form of Chicken Chef on Marion Avenue. Imagine if you will, a chalet-style strip mall restaurant with natural watercolour paintings adorning vinyl wood styled panelled walls. A warm reprieve from the frigid winter air - a spiritual oasis for a cold, road weary transient soul. Needing nutrition and creature comforts there are an array of home cooked feasts to choose from. But don't let the name sake fool you - man cannot live on chicken alone! Lasagnas, veal cutlets, pizzas, hamburgers and many, many more delicious dinners are in the menu accompanying the chicken that Chicken Chef is famous for - the world over. The beleaguered traveller seeking a mighty feast to crown his mighty conquests of the day would, however, be wise to order a chicken dinner to consummate the day's hunt. Battered in their secret blend of spices and herbs, deep fried in hydrogenated canola oil, the platter of chicken legs and chicken thighs comes with the weary traveller's choice of sides including: macaroni salad, coleslaw, potato salad and mashed potatoes. The listless traveller seeking the comforts of his homestead may choose two of the aforementioned sides with an option of gravy should he decide on the mashed potatoes. Looking to suckle the beautiful fruits of life and reflect on the sweet touch of his womenfolk left pining at their homestead while he traps abroad may choose from chicken chef's dessert menu including: Brownies, Ice Cream Cones, Ice Cream Sundaes, Deluxe Brownie Ice Cream Sundaes, Assorted Pies and Pie Ala Mode. That's a selection of one of their assorted pies topped with vanilla ice cream. The early settlers of St. Boniface established trade along the banks of the Red River and grew a civilization with the Red River Valley's Cree and Metis peoples so one day a truly great dining experience could flourish. Chicken Chef can be found in the strip mall on Marion across from the Dollarama. read more

I was recently in the Chicken Chef for the first time. Although I don't really like eating chicken because I have some issues with factory farming, sometimes I just can't resist trying out fried chicken when I see a fried chicken joint. Sorry chickens! Despite that I had a very pleasant experience at the Chicken Chef. In case you don't know, it is a Canadian chain restaurant. I ordered the three piece with fries and macaroni for about about 10$ and believe me it was a big improvement on what KFC dishes out. The chicken pieces were big, meaty and perfectly fried. No extra grease on them there. The fries were also perfectly done, and as another reviewer stated were unsalted. That is nice that they leave the seasoning to your own tastes. I asked for the hot sauce and it was quickly delivered. It was the real thing. Much hotter than most with some true kick. My server checked on my several times and gave me a refill on my coke without any prompting at all. I would definitely go back again. Unless I become a vegetarian of course..... read more

Chicken Chef - Great chicken ! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

The chicken is awesone. The low rating is for ignoring requests for ingredients. The gravy gives me migraines and I suspect some MSG related ingredient. I guess we'll never know. read more
