A Calgary fixture! Fried chicken and corn fritters (eat with honey!) at a great price. I am not a fan of the fries, but maybe you will. :) You can't miss the giant rooster out front!

Chicken On The Way

I like Chicken on the Way, but this place's fried chicken is amazing! And is more expensive. Definitely try their malted milk shake. Again, I didn't like the fries. The coleslaw was unremarkable - go for the biscuit or roasted potatoes as sides.
