23 Best Chicken Restaurants in Ottawa

“my son and I had a great visit around the 17th of May. Everyone was friendly, fast and efficient and Amir was exceptionally great! my 7 year old son rates our visit 100/10“

“My husband, almost 10-month old just had the most delicious and healthy lunch here today. it was very healthy, very delicious and didn't break the bank. the customer service was exceptional. the owner was right there welcoming us it and explained everything to us! such a good experience! so happy to see healthy alternatives pop-up :)“

“I love the food but if you order with the app, check your food before you leave. I hadn’t ordered in months and was really looking forward to the buffalo chicken strips and they gave me regular chicken strips. We ordered a bottled iced tea and got a can instead. Of course everything is in bags and sealed so it makes it harder but it’s important. Not only did the cook make the wrong food but even the lady who packages it before you get it doesn’t notice.“

“Fast, friendly and efficient service. Glad they now also have wings! Close to Costco Barrhaven, so easy access and plenty of parking.

The food is all certified halal for those who care, and the kitchen is viewable, so you know it's clean.

Much better than other fried chicken options!“

“I had an amazing experience at Popeyes! The food was absolutely delicious – the crispy chicken was perfectly seasoned, juicy on the inside, and crunchy on the outside. The biscuits were warm and buttery, and the sides, especially the Cajun fries and mashed potatoes with gravy, were so flavorful. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring my order was correct and served promptly. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. It’s definitely my go-to spot for fried chicken and comfort food. Highly recommend!“

“it's tasty. the portions and quality varies from place to place though. the pics are from my last visit. big disappointment. I'd still would recommend it. I just hope they get better training on quality and portions“

“Love this location, the staff is sooooo friendly & nice!! The children's chicken pop-ins & fries are awesome!!!! Finding a parking spot is definitely worth the trip inside! Lol

Parking: It is a busy area, so be prepared to search... but we'll worth it

Kid-friendliness: Multiple choices for kids menu, good price!

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level, button for the door“

“Amazing quality of food. The ladies and all staff who work there are always so friendly and go beyond expectations. Decided to try the new Nashville sandwich and I was not disappointed.🙏 The food lives up to the Mary Brown’s name. Where else do you get a sandwich where the piece of chicken goes beyond both sides of the sandwich? 5⭐️“

“Was at their new Gladstone location. Amazing! Food was awesome and the service was stellar. Love the wallpaper too! Tried the wings and wraps - shout out to the young man cooking the food!“

“​I went to this restaurant, and wow, it was incredible. Everything was super tasty, and the whole experience was just so smooth from start to finish. The staff was really nice and made us feel welcome. Definitely a place I'll be going back to soon!“

“Love the chicken but a few employees at the Hunt club rd Ottawa On location need to learn how to count ... been there 3 times since reopening (after the pandemic and even before it) They seem to short change me on my 5 piece tender combos the last 2 times visiting that store... i got 3 small pieces and hardly any fries and always missing the blackened ranch dip sauces thats in my meal and my husband's meal, he ordered the same 5 piece combo tenders with fries with the blackened ranch dips and he received 2 large pieces of tenders and half a box of fries and missing his biscuits. well the hunt club rd was to far to go back to complain (we bought our meal on the drive home from shopping yesterday and waited to eat at home). Plus with the strict serving restricitions in place for restaurants to be able to serve public... 4 customers to be in store at a time well there was more than 4 and it seems to be more of a social club /party (8 young people ... teens maybe early 20's there and no masks on even though it states no masks no entry on a notes thru out the location). Anyhow the HUNT CLUB RD LOCATION ...I would not recommend due to the lack of service and health and safety violations i saw yesterday!“

“Super filling and well priced“

“Meilleur que la competition!“

“One of my top picks for take out. Fresh and quick. Chicken is always tender and great portions. Gravy is delicious. I assume with the warmth of the food it's made to order. Looking for good, affordable chicken this is the place. Located in House of Pizza.“

“Halal. Flavourful. Healthy. Juicy.

Extremely good food and sauces. A bit on the pricier side but the app and points truly help offset that. You gather lots of points very quickly.

Location has good aesthetic and seating. Clean and able to have conversations and it’s not too loud even if full of people.“

“I recommend you smoke a fat bowl and order the renegade fries.. wow also the nashville hot sandwich is perfect. PERFECT“

“I ordered the wonton soup from Wings and it really hit the spot. The broth was flavorful without being too salty, and the dumplings were fresh and packed with filling. Portion size was generous, and it came hot and ready to eat. Simple, comforting, and exactly what I was hoping for—I’ll definitely be back to try more from their menu.“

“This is an interesting one, so I arrived at the location as per Google Maps, and I found myself before a different restaurant. Strange. I walked in, and it turned that Jajy was shyly hiding inside a restaurant called Burgery. I don't know why, two menues, same staff, Ghost kitchen type of scenario.

I ordered a cheeseburger with fries from Burgery and chicken with rice from Jajy. The cheesburger was SPOT ON, and I really enjoyed it. it's perfect, and the bun is not to otherwise FANTASTIC. Then I tried the fries and hand cut, I was excited and had a major disappointment: smells like old potato/ oil and doesn't have a single grain or salt or ANY seasoning. Not good. Then I tried the coleslaw, not a single grain of salt either. I am not saying enough salt or below average, I am saying ZERO salt.

I tried the chicken, and it is BBQed to perfection. The color is great. Unfortunately, salt is below average and hence not as flavorful as I would hope for but at least there is SOME salt and flavor there. Rice is great. I loved it.

The staff although Arab are not very well educated on the Halalness of what they have they gave some wrong answers they called the manager and he explained and verified. So ask the questions, what I understand is that everything on Jajy menue, but many items on Burgery menue are not, ground beef for the burger is Halal for sure I had them bring me the package of their ground meat and they were cooperative I saw the Halal sign myself.

Alhamdulillah, filling quantites and reasonable pricing :)“

“I have very bad experience I park my car in front of store when I finish my lunch I see I got ticket 90$ for wrong parking but I did write parking in front of store“

“The service and the food was excellent. Highly recommend 😀“

“I can't say enough about this spot. The food's great. The staff are rock solid. The owner is one of the nicest men I've ever met. If you're in the area, drop and show them some love. The best, guys, truly. Thank you for the amazing service.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Popeyes thanks to the excellent service provided by Razia and Ritika. Both of them were incredibly friendly, efficient, and attentive. They made sure my order was accurate and served fresh, all with a smile. It’s rare to find staff who genuinely care about customer satisfaction the way they do.
Razia was very polite and made great menu suggestions, while Ritika ensured the entire process was smooth and pleasant. Their teamwork and professionalism truly stood out.
Thank you, Razia and Ritika, for making my visit a great one — I’ll definitely be coming back!“
