Ordered here only a few times- when in area- Ordered pick up the other day : 3 chicken fingers/ fry order/ 1/4 chicken / roasted potatoes w/ garlic sauce- Enjoyed it all but only wish the potatoes were cooked a bit longer as were semi hard - garlic sauce delicious though - read more

I love this place! Every time, it is fantastic. The crispy, crunchy chicken burgers are second to none. They always have a weekly special burger, but even their basic McChickn is stellar. Sides are also great. I have not had the rotisserie style chicken because I love the burgers too much to try it! Service is quick. The space is fairly small, but I've never had to wait to sit for more than a few minutes. read more

Chkn Chop - Chicken burgers with my girl. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I love chkn chop it's so good sometimes the wait is a little long tho great service not too loud beautiful and yummy food

Great meal! we ordered a McChicken and a Caesar chicken that was on special and had 1/2 each along with sides of fries and green beans. Sandwiches were awesome, especially the Caesar, fries were great though the green beans could have been cooked just a tiny bit longer. Friendly and efficient service. read more

The Rotisserie chicken and spicy tacos were delicious. And a nice Kentucky (bourbon) Lemonade Slushy too.

Got the special of the week which was a Greek style sandwich. Flavor was great and the chicken was tender. Fried Brussels were also very good. read more

Chkn Chop - Chicken Shop Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Just kind of average. Pros were good (but not above average) service, lots of seating since there is outdoor patio area, and the serving sizes are generous. Downsides include higher than average prices and the food is so-so. I found myself enjoying the fries, but they developed an overpowering and off-putting salty aftertaste when they cooled to room temperature. Wouldn't mind the fries at all if the saltiness didn't linger and linger and linger. The chicken burger I had was excessively oily. My right hand was absolutely covered in grease and oil that dripped out of the thing. Also had a side of coleslaw, which was shockingly large for the normal/regular size. The taste bordered on regular coleslaw taste, but the actual coleslaw itself was lacking in any kind of dressing/oil to actually hold everything together. I ate most of it, but it was definitely near the bottom of my list of all time favourite coleslaws. Highlight included sitting outside in the patio area and watching a brazen pigeon walking around looking for handouts/scraps to eat. He was a cute little guy. read more

The positive: The poutine does tastes good The negatives: First off I ordered a Chicken Poutine, there is no chicken at all in this tiny poutine. It came in what I can only describe as a muffin container. This chickenless chicken poutine costs $12.65, seriously. I'm still baffled how a chicken place forgets the freaking chicken! read more

Chkn Chop - This is a Chicken Poutine that they forgot to put chicken in.... - Chicken Shop Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Great spot! Second visit now. Had the 1/4 chicken last time with green beans. Poutine today. Nice change from your regular takeout fare. Prices a little higher than I'd pay regularly for lunch, but an amazing treat! Atmosphere is fresh and funky. Staff is awesome. Food amazing. Give it a try! read more

Cute little spot, great for sharing. We tried the real deal meal for 2. We choose Brussels sprouts and Roasted potatoes. Both were really yummy. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the gravy was standard yummy gravy. Would recommend. Price was ok. read more

Usually I really enjoy the food here but today it was quite bad. I will probably not come again soon. The brussel sprouts were more like just brown leaves. Hardly any full sprouts and they were so lemony. More than ever before. I couldn't eat them. The chicken was dry and seemed like it had been sitting around for awhile. Very disappointing! read more

Staff: condescending Price: little high Food : mediocre and inconsistent Service: in a pandemic not having a delivery option shameful at best read more

I thought everyone was poor in the North End? Guess not 'cuz at this place they have the audacity to charge $1.75 for gravy. Did they think the 50 ml of gravy that came will meal was enough to cover all the fries and chicken I was served? I'm not sure what standard Halifax restaurants are modeling themselves after these days but their needs to be a bare minimum standard, kind of like in the housing industry. Case in point, Swiss Chalet offers FREE extra sauce upon request! If you can\t have at least meet the standards set forth by franchised eateries, why should I lower mine? FYI: the food was decent but the incident left a bitter taste in my mouth! read more

I rolled into the chkn chop at like 9:30 and I was worried I was be that guy.. that guy comes right before closing and is a total inconsiderate asshole (you know who you are, and what you are). We ordered the pulled chicken sandwich with a side of beans on the recommendation of the front counter team. I love asking people what they recommend, you get to try new things.. and bets are, they've eaten almost everything at the Reston they work at, and you get the best of the best. Anyways, the chicken. Oh my gawd. Just perfect. We split the sandwich and it was amazing. I loved the cilantro on it and pickled something or another, was so good. I could have just eaten the chicken pieces with my bare hands. Hold the bread. I also had the slushy margarita. So much yes. The space is really cute, I love it, casual, cool and still a little fancier than a diner. The service was amazing. The front house staff were funny and just the right amount of chatty banter. All the chkn chop crew is doing it right, I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu! read more

Chkn Chop - a margarita with a slice of lime - Chicken Shop Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I like the decor, local draft beer on tap, heavenly charcoal smell and killer chicken graffiti on the outside- but the chicken has no flavour. Where is the garlic, onion and piriri? It was also $15 and change after tax for a chicken sandwich and a small side of coleslaw. Pretty expensive for a to-go lunch. The pickled onion and carrot on the sandwich seemed more like Mexican than Portuguese. I will say the chicken was very moist. The staff seemed genuinely friendly and these guys are a much better addition than the chain donut store that was here before. Overall not bad, but I might go again and try something different; maybe it was just the sandwich. I can't help but think a KC BBQ style joint would have been a better fit here. I just don't see this place lasting. read more

Yummy yummy yummy! My husband and I split a half chicken dinner with two sides and a small poutine. The paper based menu clearly describes the two different poutines and whether chicken is included or not. We had a lovely meal and I have some chicken and green beans left over for tomorrows lunch. Corn is not generally my prefer vegetable but theirs is really good and I would order it again. The drinks were a little pricey but also delicious. read more

Chkn Chop - Beer bucket deal - Chicken Shop Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

This was an okay spot. My chicken caesar sandwich was yummy. The pretzel bun was so good. Sauce was garlicky and was terrific. Staff was polite, charming and helpful. It only gets a 2 star because the quarter chicken dinner was flavourless. The seasoning on the skin was okay but the meat itself was boring and bland. The chicken needed a good brine. And because the whole menu accept one item is that bland ass chicken. Over all I wouldn't go back read more

I ate at this place twice now, waited for the second time to do my review, which is unlucky for this place as my first meal was hands down 5 stars, the second not so much. This place specializes in chicken, obviously and it does so with mastery. The first time, the chicken was tasty, juicy, and tender. The gravy was amazing, so was the other spicy space that accompanies the meal. The brussel sprouts were also very good. Well seasoned, perfectly crisped up yet with a tender inside. The fries were also good, but nothing too special. The portions were good too. It was a little pricey but you get a lot of food. Second time around it was less quality in every way. Less tender chicken, less crispy brussel sprouts, less delicious fries. But still good, but not up to par with the first one or with other chicken places. read more

I will give here a 3.5 based on a visit in January 2019 before they had the fire, and a 2nd visit in October after they re-opened. Usually no problem to get parking in the small lot of the strip mall that this place is in. Friendly staff. Small inside with seating for maybe 20 people tops, so I imagine many people get take-out at meal times. But luckily both visits I arrived just before noon, so was able to get a table. Chalk board menu at the cash register where you order and pay in advance and they give you a number to bring to your table. Licensed with some local beers as well as cans of your basic domestics. Lots of natural light, casual, cute vibe overall. My first visit, I tried the daily special at the time of some kind of Thai chicken sandwich which I remember enjoying a lot, despite it being quite big and I couldn't finish half my fries. The 2nd visit I got their McChkn ($12 fried chkn, McChkn sauce, iceburg, onions) which I found decent but not sure I'd get again. Found the chicken itself may have been slightly overcooked as it was hard to chew, the sauce wasn't as distinct or flavorable as it could have been, and it was pretty messy to eat. The pros, it was also huge, and still overall good for someone who just likes that sort of thing. The side of potato salad was served in a stainless steel tin, heavy on the dill, large potato chunks, and not bad. Again, just a personal preference of mine to have my potato salad a bit mushier, not as harsh flavored). My friend really enjoyed his Hot Chkn ($10 pulled chkn, green beans, cheeze curds, gravy). It was funny that I hadn't been paying attention to what he ordered and at the table said "oh look, yours has cheese curds" to which he replied "no, that's pieces of chicken".. so I tasted one, and it was the cheese curds, which he didn't even notice were on the sandwich at all. But he liked it a lot overall with the large portion of well done fries. We each had a beer to make the meal incredibly filling, on top of splitting one of their big cookies for dessert, which was good. I definitely will be back, but think next I will try the tacos, and maybe a poutine. read more

Had two McChkn's today; this has to be worst food I have ever eaten at a restaurant. Ever. The chicken had a nasty, burnt taste and I can only guess at how many rides in the fryer this poor bird has had. The batter was hard as rock and some of the chicken was like trying to eat wood; gross! I also ordered cole slaw. There was no flavour, but it WAS oily, not sure what kind of oil. There was no tang from vinegar, or sweetness from mayo, no flavour at all. The only thing that was edible was the plain poutine and given it contained canned gravey, frozen fries and cheese curds, they'd have had to REALLY try to mess that up. Stay away. A $12 sandwich should be edible. The two I got today were not. They are where they belong, in a dumpster! read more

This burger was amazing!!! The service was quick and the staff were friendly. The space is small but tables opened up quickly. I would have like a bit more chicken on the burger but overall it was worth the $14 read more

Great rotisserie chicken! I prefer the tacos or sandwiches to the straight chicken but you can't go wrong. The Brussel sprouts, green beans and elite (when in season)/are all.amazing and will make a green bean or Brussels sprput lover out of a hater. Amazing and huge poutine. I only wish to Christmas Poutine was offered year round. read more

Why you gotta do me like this, CHKN Chop? I was doing so well on keto, I was just going to try the chicken and green beans, but then I saw the fries...dear lord, the fries. Handcut, blanched, then fried, perfectly seasoned, I would marry these fries in a heartbeat. The chicken was good, juicy, not overly seasoned, perfectly cooked, really. I'm a bit of a sauce whore, so I tried all the sauces, mild, spicy, lime mayo and spicy oil, and they were all delightful. Very delightful, even. The mayo costs $1.5 though, and isn't really worth it for the tiny amount they give you. But it was limely delicious. Also delicious, the piece of corn covered in cheese and cilantro, but pricey at 3.75 for a three inch piece, I mean if I was okay with three inches I wouldn't have left my husband! This corn was sweet and juicy, unlike my husband, and if I could get my mouth on six inches for 3.75 I would be much happier. The one disappointment was the green beans, they weren't terrible, just kind of meh. Don't waste 3.75 on meh green beans when you could have more of those orgasmic fries. The coleslaw was pretty awesome, vinegar based, rather than mayo based, but not too vinegary and had a nice crunch. Also, they serve margaritas and pina coladas but they are also a bit pricey at $10. The food is like 4.5 stars, but the prices are more like 2.5 stars, I won't be able to afford to eat here nearly as often as I would like. I would be open to banging some of the staff just to get a discount though. Staffers, if you're reading this, hmu if you want some action, my skills are well worth an order or two of fries. read more

Chkn Chop - I assaulted these fries with my mouth, I'm lucky they didn't press charges. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I was honestly not super impressed with the food. The atmosphere was cool and the provide a lot of condiments. The drink selection was great too. But the chicken was super small and the taste was ok but nothing spectacular. I like that they have green beans on the menu and their fries are tasty. Overall I think it's a good lunch spot but if you're hungrier than that it's a bit expensive. read more

Great poutine, but pretty expensive - the size small is pretty small. The chicken was ok, I was expecting it to have Piri Piri sauce so I was a bit disappointed. It didn't taste like Montreal style Portuguese chicken to me. Hoping things will improve with time though. Definitely worth going there for a good poutine in the North End though. read more

First I tried the Chicken Tacos with a side of Brussels Sprouts and I thought I had found the only thing I would ever need. Then one day I decided to switch it up and tried the Chicken BLT. Usually I take my food to go but I'm gad I ate in that day because I HAD to leave a second tip. That sandwich healed me. It was better than sex, drugs or a good book with a cup of tea. It left me with an experience that could not be quantified or refunded. My only regret was not getting the Brussels with it but that did not detract for a moment, the wonder and joy at having discovered another favorite meal at one of my favorite places close to home. If ever I have to leave this city the thing that would give me most pause would be the thought of being further away from CHKN CHOP. read more

My favourite place to eat in Halifax. I don't even know what to say other the chicken is cooked perfectly, the gravy flavourful and rich, the fries and all the sides are awesome and if you are looking for a treat go for a cookie!! In fact I would make a trip there just for the chocolate chip cookies (with mm's or mini eggs, chocolate chunks and I think skor bits) as they are huge and chewy. Chkn Chop regularly features sandwiches of the week and I have to say the best (in my humble opinion) is the "mcchicken". Make your way there to have a reasonably priced, locally owned, meal that will have you hooked like me! read more

I like the space a lot. A very laid back feel so would be great for friend outings especially with great accessible parking. I had their 1/4 piece but coleslaw and salad. The coleslaw was pretty good, and I don't like everyone's coleslaw. The salad wasn't the best. It was good for a couple bites but I started to get bothered by the onion, which I think could've been cut back on quite a bit. The chicken was pretty nice, as far rotisserie chicken goes. Not the best chicken ever, but it was decent. Had a friend raving about this place for months, but I think she was more ecstatic about the corn than the chicken lol. I wouldn't rush back to this place just yet. I'll wait 'til corn is back in season to try them again. Might make the difference when paired with the chicken. read more

Great place to grab some chicken or a club sandwich and fries as I did; the serving was huge!, enough for two people or one person if you are super famished. Fires are homemade, there was plenty of chicken on the club. Finally, the staff were cool, polite and easy to deal with. Oh yeah.......they serve beer too! read more

When the most picky man in the world aka my father asks if you want to go for dinner, you don't say no. He suggested the Chkn Chop, we're down. No one else in the family have been there yet. We got 1/2 chicken and fries, 2x hot chicken (one w/ fried, one w/ brussel sprouts, the special, chicken tacos, fried Brussel sprouts, green beans and corn elote and some cold beer to wash it all down. Vegetarians can easily eat here with the delicious veggies. My mouth is still watering for the green beans and corn. The brussel sprouts were very good too. The chicken! Oh the chicken was fantastic. It comes with a heaping pile of very tasty fries. I sure would go for another special (fried chicken, special sauce and lettuce on a bun) MmmMmm! The 5 of us couldn't finish everything but we gave it a valiant effort. I'll guarantee you, we will be back! read more

Chkn Chop - The tacos, special, corn elote, green beans and brussel sprouts. What's not pictured is the 1/2 chicken and hot chicken with a pile of fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Be hungry when you plan to go - the half chicken plate was awesome. So tender and the fries - so tasty.

Fairly pricey, but the food is also fairly good. I've been three times and I've had their chicken "big mac" twice which is very delicious, but just the burger costs $12! For that kind fo money I'd expect a meal. The third time I went, I tried their Phoenix chicken burger which was AWESOME. I could have had mine a bit spicier but it still delivered on spice and flavour. But again, fairly pricey. That's pretty much the only reason why this place doesn't get a higher rating from me. This is more of a 'treat yourself' kind of place than a place you go to on the regular. Appreciate that they sell local beer though. read more

Best chicken this side of Montreal! The Poutine is awesome too, I wish they had a drive thru!

Kitchen staff are nice and friendly. They are busy whenever I go but the wait is decent! Clean dining area, patio, and washroom. I really like their weekly sandwich specials and I pretty much tried most of it. Their fries and side dishes are great, too. read more

The chicken here is so good, wish I knew how to make chicken like they do. I've also gotten fried chicken sandwiches and they are unreal. The poutine is also delicious and the large is truly a huge portion, I love that! read more

Best Portuguese-style chkn I've ever had. Really juicy (even the breast meat) and the fragrant marinade sings through the rotisserie char-roasting (over actual charcoal). I am not crazy for fried chicken so I stick to the lovely char-roasted stuff. I've even substituted it on their weekly specialty sandwiches (served on heavenly LF Bakery pains au lait) which often feature fried chicken. Zippy seasoning on mountains of crisp fries, original and innovative sides of seasonal veg like green beans, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, plus a decent oil & vinegar slaw. And I love the service set up: order at the counter and pay, serve yourself water in a glass from a bar tap while you pick up your choice of condiments-Valentina hot sauce, homemade mild or medium piri piri, mayo, chunky packets of ketchup. Food arrives at your table in a flash, served in stainless steel bins, industrial kitchen-style, mess-proof and fun. I am so impressed with the folks who invented and run this place - love their food, love their style, so glad we have this in Hali. read more

Went in the other day to order a meal to go for partners birthday party. The recommended amount of food was barely enough to make a meal out of, and one of the extra side dishes that I had paid for was nowhere to be found. When I tried to call the restaurant about it hoping to get a credit or something they put me on hold and never picked up the phone again, when I tried calling back they did not answer the phone. The food is okay at this place but the portions are in my opinion too small. I had the same experience a few days before when I went in and ordered a quarter chicken breast plate. It included one piece of chicken that seemed to be nothing but a bone, and and another piece that looked to be a quarter (if that) of a chicken breast. read more

Sorry but this is not that great give me the Swiss any day . I came I tried I'm leaving. This was very underwhelming. My meal was 52% more for the same meal at swiss. And I know I get it support local sure if it's in the same area. The chichen was not as tender as it should be. The flavor honestly not that big on bbq flavor at all. Coleslaw was the best part of the meal and I'll give it full stars. The fries where reasonable at best. The room is slick and sure smells like bbq . I'm still not sure why the chicken doesn't taste like it. I still can't get over how tough it is. Maybe just a really bad day at the chicken killer. read more

This place is amazing! All the food is legit and they're licensed! Plus it's super easy for parking.
