So I knew I had to go here ASAP. So whilst getting my haircut in the city I decided (with help from a friend) to go here and wow was that a great decision. The chicken theme goes throughout with double entendres all around (which is perfect for my humour). I got sat down very quickly and lots of info was given, but not too much that I couldn't remember it but all necessary. Looking at the inside was great with a booze cage near me, lots of windows, and a dimmer lighting which was really cool. Looking at the menu, there was so much to chose from, but I went for the make my own chicken plate which chicken breast (added charge), my choice of sauce (I went Dr Pepper bbq sauce) and fries, but I upgraded to pulled pork fries. Got seen really quickly and served a drink and then whilst editing a video I decided on the above ... and it came out really quickly .. like I was surprised how quick ... and omg it was so delicious. The bbq sauce was perfect, there was lashings of meat on the fries, the chicken was tender and juicy and amazing. I took my time with it and couldn't finish it .. the wait staff were very attentive knowing I might have wanted another drink (I did) and it was just amazing. Will deffo have to go back here many many times.

After working for years in London and walking past their branches quite a bit, I never massively felt much desire to go in but now that this branch has opened up right in the middle of the Piccadilly gardens I though why not give a shot. The burger was tasty enough - I had the B-rex (think jalapenos, gherkin, bacon, onion rings) - but considering this was supposed to be their poster boy for awesome it was all a bit meh compared to AF/Solita. Courgette Fries were quite nice alongside it but a burger, fries and a giner beer cost £16.95 which I though was very over priced! Overall not a bad experience, surroundings were nice enough and staff friendly but nothing to make me want to rush back.

I have had numerous good experiences at Chicken Lodge numerous years ago, and I had to stop going…read moreafter my diagnosis with a coeliac diet, where I had to be gluten free which is something this place doesn't offer, however I recently came back to try something, late on a Saturday evening to use their takeaway service. I ordered a Chicken Nugget meal, and my friend ordered a meal with 2PC of chicken, which comes with chips which I can only presume were warmed up. The food took quite a while to come, and I even had to phone up once, the staff at the shop were unhelpful which made me glad I placed the order online. The food was really greasy, it wasn't very nice, It was something I basically only ate because I was hungry, but in some parts, you could basically squeeze the grease off,parts of the nugget were hard, it just didn't seem very pleasant. The portion size was also quite poor, but I wouldn't want any more of it based on how it tasted, it was simply greasy and warmed up which shows a huge decline on standard and that is the real shame. Afterwards, I thought the worst part was over, however it was not, as I was violently vomiting chicken sick, I hate to be too disgusting, but there was just so much, it showed instant food poisoning which I had not experienced since my first night in Barcelona where I ate in a restaurant with rats, I am not accusing Chicken Lodge to have a secret ingredient of rat droppings, but perhaps their hygiene standards are similar. The complaints handling system was awful pathetic, I had to ring in twice and was told a manager would get back to me, and they never did, I do have my suspicions the person I spoke to on the phone was the manager, despite offering no refund or apology, I was simply told he came in at midnight, and the time before I left my contact details. I was never contacted back which is a real shame considering how bad the food was and how bad the effects were, so I strongly feel Chicken Lodge and their awful food and hygiene standards deserves to be the latest place on my "Avoid at all costs" list deserving a single one-star rating. It is a real shame to see a business like Chicken Lodge go downhill, downhill perhaps to the same level as Manchester United when Ferguson left, however the latter is rather enjoyable for me to watch as a Manchester City fan, but the poor food and the after-effects including sickness and complaint handling, means even one star is too generous for this place and it is a real shame Chicken Lodge are now the 500th place to warrant a single one star rating from myself.

The old railway building. Thanks yelp for making me aware. They have a lunch special with a selection of burgers and a chicken sandwich for £10 (at the time of this review 07/2023). That includes a side of fries. I noticed every restaurant that you walk In the host will ask you about any allergies or intolerances. If you let them know you're they will let you know what to avoid. Or if they do not know they will send you a manager who knows. There must have been a huge problem with allergies and it is a great way to avoid it. It is, in the beginning, a bit annoying until you realize it is actually a good thing (I wonder if Mcdonald's to the same - I'll might have to try that). So I ordered the chicken burger with a breaded fried chicken breast some black pepper mayo sauce some salad, Onions, and a slap of avocado. WOW - the nicely tasting breaded chicken was fried to perfection and it was a really big piece without drying out. Good job! the "burner" was definitely the combination of chicken and that avocado spread mixed in With the black Peppercorn mayonnaise - an almost perfect bite. The bun was not too big to get in the way of tasting what's important all other ingredients have been fresh and am tasty the fries also fried to a crisp state without being burned. Hands down a surprisingly great burger. Oh, I will be back - the service was five starts as well quick, knowledgeable, and friendly!

I had…read morequite tasty sausage and mash on my last visit, I was partially attracted to it because of the promised crispy onion rings but you get a tiny amount of these so don't let that be determinative. Side roasted root vegetables were quite odd - for my tastes they were too hard, a little dry and not sweet enough. Unusual because I find generally that's a reliable choice in a restaurant. My friend loved her fajitas and they were totally cool with swapping her guacamole for extra sour cream. My friend is a member so it was good value at around £22 for two mains, a side and a drink each. Without the 40% off I think it is a little pricey. Service was pretty good although watch out if you are here for lunch with limited time, it took us quite a while to get the bill so my friend ran late for getting back to work. As an aside, the Coke tasted a bit odd and came without any accompanying bottle. Might have been from the soda fountain, which would be a big negative in my book given the price, but will reserve judgment on that until I know for sure.

I have been to this place twice and have had no complaints yet! Although, I wish they would have some paper towels but I know they can be wasteful and they do give a wet sanitized hankies to you to clean up that BBQ of your fingers but no need to have that go to waste just use tour lips! So much flavor on their secret sauce yum and if that is not enough, you have 5 BBQ added sauces to choose from at your table. Baby back ribs just can't get enough and the Dirty Chicken burger there are no words for how soft and tender the meat is as you bite down on all the flavors of the bbq, the slaw and the candy bacon. Oh did I say bacon YES bless yourself with some of the pig on your next meal here. Great place, food and people. Right across the street from the city center.

Overall, just okay. Being from the states, maybe I'm a little extra choosy with my BBQ…read more I ordered the half rack of ribs with 2 XXL wings - wings were over cooked, so one part of the XXL wing was inedible. Barely any sauce. The ribs were decent - definitely not fall off the bone type, but okay tasting. I asked for sweet potato fries, even with an upgrade charge, but alas, the service wasn't the best. So I got the regular fries - which were probably my favorite part of the meal. They were the thinner kind so not the typical "chips" - which I like! The BBQ sauces - 5 choices - I didn't care for any of them. The tangy coleslaw also wasn't a hit with me. $20 or so for the ribs/wings meal & a large Pepsi max.

By far my favourite aspect about Alabama's is that it's not trying too hard to be 'American Style'…read moreit doesn't feel like one of the bandwagon American burger or hot dog joints popping up all over the city. It's just casually American or you could say it has a more intelligent nod to Americana in it's decor and attitude but maintain's a Northern attitude. Like the straight out of Mad Men 1960s Piccadilly Station print on the wall, the wooden star clock on the opposite wall or the red light shades. We went for breakfast and the selection was familiar but pleasantly different. With selections of classic breakfasts which could be Americanised with Texas toast for e.g. (I didn't see any grits which I'd love to see their take on). I had the Eggs Benedict with Ham Hock, it's one of those dishes which is a great judge of a place as it only has a few ingredients any one of which can disappoint. Alabama's was spot on. In fact I'm thinking that the ham hock possibly works better than streak bacon which I hate myself for saying, but it's less salty and gives it a more rustic homey feel. Which I really enjoyed. I love my coffee and I can say their flat white was spot on for me. The staff seem great here as well, very welcoming and friendly, offering to give suggestions or anwser any questions about the food. There aren't a huge number of places even in the city centre where I can guarantee a good breakfast and a great coffee in the same spot. I'm glad to have found another to add to my list.
