Paragraphs:
Customers come for the crispy Chickenjoy and that comforting gravy, and when it’s on form, the combo hits the spot. Folks rave about the loaded/gravy fries (especially the K-spicy), and a few shout out the mango sundae as a sleeper hit. The spaghetti-with-chicken combo shows up in orders, and the spicy chicken burger actually has a kick for some diners. That said, experiences can vary: a few people love the ranch, while others find it too thick; the Sriracha options get mixed feedback for flavor.
Diners enjoy the friendly staff on good days and say service can be quick, although several visits were marred by long waits, an out-of-order kiosk, incomplete orders, and weak communication. Cleanliness is a recurring sore point—overflowing trays, dirty tables, and inconsistent toilet upkeep make the dine-in area feel rougher than expected. Some customers claim the Leicester branch doesn’t match the consistency of other locations they’ve tried.
Price and portions come up, too. A 6-piece bucket at £15.99 felt poor value to one diner due to multiple wings, and small fries portions annoyed others. Food quality swings from “crispy and tender” to “bland or dry,” with spice levels sometimes underwhelming. Vegetarian choices are slim, often just fries. Still, when the kitchen’s on it, that signature chicken-and-gravy comfort is exactly what people come back for—even if a few prefer to grab it to go.
