We just bought a cottage in the Lac du Bonnet area this past year. Up until this last weekend (April 5, 2014) my husband and I dined at a restaurant/hotel/gas station on the way to our cottage (I don't feel right giving the business name).
We have been to Chicken Chef a number of times now. Twice a week for the past month.
The restaurant is clean and well kept. There is some small maintenance going on, as is often the case with small restaurants, but it is not intrusive at all. The restaurant has a very cozy feel and gives us exactly the type of vibe that we are looking for.
There food is wonderful. Some of the best that we have had in a while. My husband always orders a "Chef Burger" and always says its one of the best burgers he has tasted in a long time. There chicken is great. We had an issue with a meal once, but the manager replaced the piece of chicken and paid for my meal. A giant thank you to him!
The staff was friendly, we had to refill our own coffee, but I noticed they do have a sign that says "help yourself to free refills". To me, it adds to the down home feel.
They have a nice selection of side dishes, and a local told me you can order an unadvertised "homemade french fry". Definitely recommended!
Prices there are fair. Not the cheapest we have seen, but nothing close to outrageous. And we always leave full.
Depending on the day of the week, and how busy they are, wait times will vary.
We have gotten our food as quickly as 15 minutes, and have waited for nearly 45 during busy times. Not ideal, but I suppose it is to be expected.
Overall I would definitely recommend Chicken Chef! It is our new place to go! read more
