5 stars for a fast food, low priced kind of restaurant. We walked to another restaurant in search of pizza to find it closed. We turned around and there was Fritou with "Pizza by the Slice" in the window. We were hungry so we took a chance. The counter guy/server was a nice guy. They have a limited selection of a wide variety of cuisine including, pizza, American (burgers, chicken sandwiches), Asian and Greek (Baklava). We ordered a medium pizza (no slices were in the warmer at that time) with pepperoni, green peppers and mushrooms. This is not gourmet but I can eat about any pizza. It was fixed quickly and we enjoyed it. There is plenty of cozy seating. One couple was dining when we came in and a couple more people came in to order carry out which was prepared quickly. read more

It's not garbage, but it's close enough. Tasteless, poorly cooked, badly prepared, horribly made. Nothing really good about this place except... not having to go back. read more

I walked by this place looking for somewhere I could grab a bit to eat to bring back to the hotel. It was before 5PM and there were 2 people in the restaurant waiting for their food. They have a special but I decided to get the chicken strips meal. I had the option of 3, 4, or 5 and since I was sharing, I got the 5 pieces which came with fries and a pop. I was told the wait would be about 10 minutes which I was fine with. There's a tv but I occupied my time. It took about 15 minutes for my order to be ready. I could only imagine if this place had more than 3 customers how long it would take. I think there was one person working the front and one in the back preparing the food. The person working the front seemed more interested in looking at his phone than anything else. I asked for ketchup and sauce and was told to help myself with these little round containers with lids. I filled one with plum sauce and two with ketchup and was on my way. The food was hot and the chicken strips were a large size. I wish I took more dipping sauce. For about $14, it reasonable. read more

Is there such thing a fried chicken connoisseur? If so, I think I'm becoming one! We arrived after lunch to order take out and the place was quite empty. However, we were in and out pretty quick. With a 3 piece meal (which came with fries, gravy and coleslaw for $13) and a popcorn chicken combo (that also came with fries and a pop for $15) in hand, we trekked back to our office. Nothing could have prepared me for the delicious chicken we were about to devour. It was so moist! They marinate their chicken for 18 hours, lightly bread it and fry it in sunflower oil that gives it all the flavour and extra crunch. Sooooooooo good! I'd definitely add Fritou to my list of best Calgary chicken places, I think you'll agree if you try it too! read more

The fried chicken here is really good! The chicken sandwich on the other hand was pretty basic with lettuce and mayo. Poutin was also okay. Definitely not the best I've had. The place is decent. Prices reasonable. read more

I was looking for a place for a quick bite to eat when I rounded the corner and saw Fritou. I've passed by many times wondering what the food's like. I was going to order the 2 piece with coleslaw and fries and asked the man behind the counter to leave out the coleslaw. He, kindly recommended, the snack pack with 2 pieces, fries and a drink instead. I went with his suggestion and saved $2! I didn't have to wait long for my order to be ready. The batter on the chicken was nice and crispy and well seasoned. The chicken was juicy and not dry at all. However, I didn't like the fries. read more

3pm random hunger hit me in the office the other day, but I had left my wallet at home and could only scrounge up $3 + change in my desk drawers. Hit the streets to see what I could find (didn't want to walk too far, it was pouring rain) and ducked in here. I had enough for small fries. They were delicious. Crisp, piping hot. Restaurant was clean. Service was ok, but the counter chick just talked across the restaurant to her friend who was sitting in there the e n t i r e time. So I got to hear all about the heartbreak he (the friend) was going through. Poor guy. I'm sure the gloomy day didn't help read more

I passed this place awhile back and saw the sign "Chicken and Waffles". Knew I needed to go back, and I am very happy I did. The chicken is crispy and the batter is very flavorful. Waffles are fluffy and just the right texture, with just a hint of sweetness. Comes with a small container of syrup if you want to sweeten up the waffle. Place was clean, lots of comfortable seating, service was friendly and fast. No complaints. It's two blocks from my office - bad news for me as I will definitely be back for their chicken (for sure) and fries, and I foresee some weight gain. Lesson learned though - while I was waiting for the waffle to cook through, another customer phoned in their order for two orders of chicken and waffles. That's what I will do next time. read more

Waited 40 minutes. The fries was ok but they were soggy and it looked like it was sitting there for two days.

I have had Fritou Fried Chicken a few times before but Now that A Fritou is open in downtown, I will go more often. I love the freshness of fritou fried chicken, they make it fresh with its coating and spices, then deep fried. It's always a ten to fifteen minute wait but worth every minute of it! It's more pricey than other fried chicken but you are guaranteed the quality is worth it. I usually get the biggest family combo, but I see that they offer small combos, and at this location they offer other chicken items as well, a must try, I don't eat fried chicken often but when I do, it's fritou, and always will be! read more

This place is awful. They gave me rock hard chicken that has been sitting out forever. The gravy and fries where too salty to eat. And when i asked for fresh chicken the cook offered to give me a chicken wing in replacement for the almost $15 dollars worth of food i ordered. Thanks but no thanks. Dont go here there are places that treat you better and take pride in thier food. The owner should realize the importance of customer service if he/she wants to stay in business. read more

Their fried chicken sandwich was delicious! The service can be a bit slow but the food is always pretty good. I think they are starting to do features because a friend was eating some other dishes not typically on the menus like goat curry and roasted chicken! read more

OUTRAGEOUSLY AWFUL! This place honestly must be a joke.... The chicken is decent, but that is about where it stops... I have eaten here twice, both times it has taken over 20 minutes for me to get food that is prepared BELOW-Standard even compared to any mediocre fast food place. Then there is the staff. The staff could honestly care less whether you are there or not. While I was sitting (for 22 minutes) waiting for my food, 3 groups of customers came in and left without buying anything due to a lack of service. The few uncomfortable seats are just populated with grumpy looking people waiting for their average meals to arrive. Then the icing on the cake... Expensive!. A simple crispy chicken sandwich combo is $9.99 what this gets you is a piece of boneless meat with a 3 inch square piece of the spine of lettuce, a see through piece of tomato, and a squirt of mayonnaise on a plain bun, 24 cold undercooked fries (i counted... didn't take long), and a sippy-cup of coke... If you were to get the equivalent from KFC, you would get, a larger piece of chicken, more lettuce, a proper piece of tomato, twice as many fries, and a drink double the size... and it would only cost you 8.19... So in short. If you don't want to burn half your lunch hour waiting for food, you actually expect a proper sandwich when you order a sandwich, and you expect people in the food service industry to actually value you as a customer... Don't go to Fritou. Save your time and money and go ANYWHERE ELSE! Oh and when you ask to speak to the owner, they give you a card with a number to call... And when you call that number, you get the girl working the counter whom you are calling to complain about in the first place... read more

Great chicken items!! We got wings, sandwiches, fried chicken and the General Tao. Everything was delicious!

Dead at lunch hour rush, chicken was gross and fries soggy, tried a bite and threw it away. Chef was annoyed that he actually had to do any work. read more

The chicken is really nice but never never try the waffles, those are really really bad

I walked in there at 3pm looking for a quick lunch to go, and this place was great. The chicken strips were hot and juicy, and the fries were fresh. I waited about 5-10 minutes for my food, which was fine for me. All in all, great experience. read more
