Chicken Treat

I went there once, half the chicken was telling me stories from world war ll while her great grandma was sitting next to her remembering memories from the first world war, i enjoyed that talk, but definitely not the my inedible meal.

First off, let me state that I don’t eat fast food. Ever. Which makes it all the more shocking that I loved Chicken Treat as much as I did. That being said, I came to realize that, in terms of quality, fast food in Australia is vastly different (in a good way!) from the United States.
Whenever I needed to go grocery shopping at Coles in the Kardinya shops, I would stop by Chicken Treat first for lunch, since the last thing you want to do is grocery shop on an empty stomach ;) I kept it simple and got the chicken burger (without cheese) and a side of chips. Three things of note about this meal: 1) the chicken was always a fresh breast, never gristly, 2) the honey mustard mayo was delicious and different, and 3) I had never had chippy salt on chips before, but I LOVED it… so much so that I’m asking my friend from Oz to send me some here in the states, since it quite simply doesn’t exist.
I so wish Chicken Treat was in the US as well. Sadly, nothing here comes close. And even in Oz, I preferred it to the other chicken options (Red Rooster and KFC).

Disgusting. When I’ve been there the staff are usually abusing each other and the chicken they dish out is barely palletable. I’d rather die than eat here again.

I’m generally pretty wary of Chicken Treat as a franchise; I always get slow service, poorly prepared food and find myself wondering why I didn’t either cook or go somewhere decent for dinner. That being said, this joint seems to be pretty good. When I’ve been here, they haven’t taken ages to serve me, the drive through queue has moved quickly and I have had a relatively satisfying fast food experience. The food here is obviously standard Chicken Treat fare; sandwiches, entry-​level foccacias, chicken and chips. If you really crave this particular brand of chicken takeout, you could do a lot worse than the Kardinya version of it.
