• "These fried chicken burgers are amazing! I have eaten many chicken burgers in London but I think this is probably the best one so far!"

Cons:

• "The chicken pieces are wonderful, but the place is narrow and the chairs are uncomfortable."
• "The loaded fries were okay the first bite after that they were just sickly."
• "The chicken was tasteless and dry. I expected a thick crispy tasty batter but it was a bit soggy and tasteless."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "Great service. The burgers are great and full of flavour."

Cons:

• "A very creative and tasty chicken burger, ruined by poor customer service."
• "Service was a bit slow but clearly understaffed so that’s on management."
• "Service was really good and staff were super friendly but the food wasn't impressive."
• "The one waitress (plaits and green jumper) who seated us was extremely helpful and friendly. She took our order promptly and was helpful upon requesting the bill. The second waitress who delivered our food however (tartan leggings), was incredibly rude."
• "Service was a real stand out, in that it was fairly appalling."
• "Service was really good but let down by our waitress who continuously bad mouthed customers who had just left, just because they had children who became agitated, as kids do at times."
• "Don’t know why there’s so many 5 star reviews, I ate here and my chicken burger was over cooked completely dry in the middle chicken was chewy. The loaded fries were okay the first bite after that they were just sickly. Costed 40 quid for 2 people. Service was good."

Ambiance and Venue

Pros:

• "The atmosphere is lively, and the staff is welcoming."
• "Place is usually busy even mid-week, so it's best you book a table."
• "I love this branch of Coqfighter, it's always incredibly busy but they do their best to fit you in."
• "Great burger joint with a very affordable and fairly priced menu. Only slight issue I had was the lighting."
• "Visited this place as the chicken is halal (they only do chicken), it's a cosy place for informal lunches. Small tables, but that was alright."

Cons:

• "The venue felt like a jumbled setup of cheap tables and low stools that had a clunky fit to the space and were barely comfortable enough to finish your crunchy chicken burger."
• "The restaurant is very small and cramped which is okay unless you're on the more curvy side of life."
• "The seating is a bit tight at the front side of the shop, you find yourself sat uncomfortably close to other customers."
• "The restaurant is seriously cramped and we felt uncomfortable when a couple was sat literally shoulder to shoulder next to us like on the tube."
• "Tables and chairs very small, you should be aware about people sitting behind you."
