Mr Chicken - Sydney Mines

The chicken and fries were delicious. There is a field in the front overlooking a beautiful lake. Ice cream at night was awesome. The only thing that brings this down to 4 stars is that the service was a little slow.

This restaurant is convenient, clean, and the staff was friendly. We opted for the deep-fried clams instead of chicken, which were decent. It's not always possible to dine on gourmet food, so a place like Mr. Chicken definitely has its place. We believe this restaurant would be popular with families, especially those with children.

This restaurant offers great prices and a nice atmosphere for picking up chicken to go. The chicken is delicious and even better than some KFC locations. It's conveniently located just a few minutes away from local motels.

Typical old fashioned fried chicken joint. Salty/crispy chicken pieces with good old crinkle cut fries. No complaints. It's exactly what you think it will be.

You have to give the staff credit at this restaurant for staying friendly and helpful despite long line ups for food in the heat of the summer. Those who want a taste of Mr. Chicken must be prepared to remain calm and patient as this food is in high demand in Cheticamp. We ordered the five piece econo meal which came with 5 pieces of chicken with two pieces being a very good size chicken breast with a drumstick and a wing as well plus a decent serving of fries for two people to share. We ordered a side of pasta salad over and above the meal which was one of the best pasta salads I have received at a take out. It was more like a homemade one you would bring to a potluck with peas and bits of broccoli in a vinaigrette. We ordered a medium and it came in a 8 ounce styrofoam cup. The chicken was very tasty with a thin crispy batter and I liked it more than KFC. The fries were crinkle cut and they were food too but just your average fry. They serve bottles of pop and water for drinks and we also ordered a cup of tea. The ladies on the counter were very helpful and smiled the whole time despite a steady influx of customers at supper time. Some folks had called ahead but they were also waiting. One thing is certain the chicken is freshly cooked and piping hot when you get it and not sitting out or pre-packaged. There are only about 4 booths inside and picnic tables outside with a soft service counter outside as well. There is really no shade in the picnic table area so this should be kept in mind. This is great fried chicken and I would say if you plan ahead and get your food in non-peak times it would be quicker. We didn't mind the wait as positive energy was plentiful from the staff and for the most part people were just happy to get their chicken whenever it was ready. Service is bilingual. I'm looking forward to my next trip to Cheticamp to get more Mr. Chicken!
