We were worried about finding a good dinner option after our flight delays left us arriving late. Traveling with a toddler meant we couldn't go to any local pubs or bars at that hour, but Unchained came to the rescue by allowing us to place a takeout order just half an hour before closing time. Two adults and one hungry toddler enjoyed a fantastic French onion burger and a fried chicken sandwich, both served with crispy fries and a delicious garlic dip. The sandwiches were juicy, beautifully put together, and maintained their structure perfectly. The buns held up impressively despite all the fillings. Both had a great balance of meat to toppings. The food traveled well and looked and tasted amazing. I highly recommend it!

The food was outstanding! Almost every item on the menu had a gluten-free option, and they even use separate fryers for gluten-free dishes. The staff was friendly and attentive. I'm really glad we discovered this place!

Got the burger and fries for takeout. Unlike when I got it before, 90% of the fries were extremely tough and dry (but weirdly some were normal).When I mention dry, I mean that they basically turned into chalk/dust when eating it. I don't know if this means that they were refried. The cynical part of me could think that they were discarded by a previous customer, but obviously there's no way to tell for sure.I also saw a thin string of something in the fries that was deep fried, when taking off the batter I discovered that it was a long hair.I didn't finish it, obviously. I've been here a couple of times, but probably won't go back now.
