It's new owners, I enjoyed the burger combo for under 10$ !! Which is unheard of these days. I had the chicken as well, little bit oily but the flavor was good overall. For the price point and kind employee, I'd go back for sure.

Super disappointed. We use to love this place. The sweet chili sauce doesn't taste the same, chicken is overcooked, the rice changed tastes like 5 min rice, dried oregano on the rice bowl just sprinkled on is strange and adds nothing, ordered online and came in and they were surprised by the order even though we had ordered 15 min prior. Just disappointed because it use to be bomb. Not sure if the owners have changed?

I used to really like this place but I think there’s new owners and the quality and service has greatly changed. I got the Korean Fried Chicken and it was too dry and the Soy Garlic sauce (which is usually my favourite anywhere else) was terrible. Chicken was overdone. I got a poutine and even though there was barely any gravy, the fries were soggy, and they put the cheese curds on top and they didn’t get melty at all. Not the worst but won’t be back.

We are not from Chilliwack and just happened to be hungry and looking for somewhere to eat our late lunch. We ordered the 5pc crunchy meal with fries, gravy, and macaroni salad. The chicken was crunchy as promised but unfortunately lacks flavour, as is the gravy and macaroni salad. I guess that's why there was soy sauce, salt & pepper available. The fries were decent. The food was priced reasonably. I wasn't that disappointed with the food. Will eat here again and update my review if there are changes.

1st of all whos Jon? I’m so curious! Did I drive over 1 hour to try their chicken? Yes I did. Was it worth it? Absolutely. I was actually very surprised that I really really really liked their chicken. Especially their popcorn chicken!!! So delicious. Got lucky to snag something off their Happy Hour menu: I got 3 random pieces for $6 and, they were so sweet; they ended up giving me 4 hehe. Look, I’m not a deep fried kinda gal, but these are “unsharable” they’re just too good! Highly recommend trying this place out regardless if you do or don’t like fried chicken because there’s a good chance you’ll love it. PS, the owners are so lovely and friendly thank you for your kindness and beautiful smiles. The place was clean, no sticky tables (thank goodness) and bathrooms were clean too.

One of the best crunchy fried chicken I’ve had and I’m a big fried chicken lover. The chicken was freshly cooked, tender, and juicy. It wasn’t too spicy either. The fries were tasty and hot as well (I think they’re Cavendish fries which is one my favourite fries). Great lunch specials and was quickly made. Friendly staff too! This is way better better than KFC and probably Popeyes too. The chicken reminds me of Korean fried chicken! Go check this place out and plus it’s always great to support a local joint too.

Hands down the best fried chicken I have ever had! I can’t describe how good their food is. On top of that, the owners are the kindest, most generous people I have ever encountered at a restaurant. Now I understand the hype! ⭐️ 11/10

**Update** Ever since the owners went to Asia, the new staff have have just not met the same level of quality and standards previously delivered. Ive been here probably 5 or 6 times since they left, and its been a hassle and a disappointment 5 out of the 6 times. Granted the 1 positive time they had to fix something and seemed to go the extra mile to do so, and it was really good. But since it just isnt there. They seem more annoyed and feel like theyre delivering the same product, when they clearly arent. Look at the reviews!! My most recent order, I even asked them to make sure the chicken wasnt overcooked, and still, it was chewy, overcooked and hard. Honestly such a shame, because Ive been going here for over a year, and you could feel the love that the owners would put into their food. It has been a family favorite, but lately nobody enjoys it, and there isnt a wow factor.... really disappointed Ive had fried chicken all over Metro Vancouver, and this was one of the best!! Everything is REAL chicken, and there doesnt seem to be any fillers at all. I pulled it apart and scanned it, its legit chicken coated and fried. I mean you can tell just by peeling it open... I asked about MSG, and the owner said no msg and no chemical, which to me is massive!! Im so picky with fried chicken, and Id rather come here and eat real chicken without fillers than cheap fillers & chemical msg fried Chicken.... We LOVE the boneless fried chicken. This is now a favorite for our family. Try it out! Happy hour 130-4 I think. Will be coming back as long as their open! God bless!! Kid-friendliness: They are always SO friendly to our kids. Our kids love them and they enjoy coming here! Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs

Bad bun, flaccid chicken, flaccid fries. Empty restaurant 7pm on a Thursday in July. Unsmiling, scowling staff. Hope they go belly up.

July 21, 2024

Clearly under new ownership- what was once a family favourite is now a never again - a week ago I went in for a. Chicken sandwich . It was like they just reheated a previously cooked fillet it was super dry and gross the gravy is thinner then before with no flavour and the fry s were undercooked . 2 days ago my wife ordered a family pack ( before I was home from Work and could tell her not too ) before it arrived I said it was going to be garbage and it was . The chicken was super dry ( maybe pre cooked and warmed up when ordered ?) the gravy was flavourless and watery and the fry s were soggy / undercooked. Please take my advise and choose a different place for your chicken .

I went to Johns today usually they are pretty good but today they were a little slow seem like they didnt know what they were doing seems like new owners ? I assume ? They were a little on the crabby side I asked for a 3 piece 2 original and 1 crispy the cook didnt seem to like it anyways we waited like 10-15 mins to get our food first couple bites werent to bad I noticed a stench in the gravy smelt like feet and didnt taste so good we noticed our chicken was a little bigger than usually is I get to my second piece to find blood sweeping out so I poked through the middle to find it was half cooked I went to tell the cashier best they could do was offer a meal back by than I didnt wanna wait and definitely didnt have a appetite after that i felt a lil gross after having a couple bites of the medium rare chicken I dont think Ill go back for my free meal after that, to the response I got like it was ok and wasnt that bad they lost a long time costumer today

Just finished dinner, fried chicken from Johns Fried Chicken. We had both regular and extra crispy with fries, gravy and coleslaw. This is the best fried chicken in Chilliwack, tender and juicy with a great flavourful coating, excellent fries, crispy and golden with smooth rich gravy for dipping. Andrea said the coleslaw was very good as well. There are quite a number of chicken places in Chilliwack, but Johns is my go to place for the best.

This highly pleasing and cozy restaurant is located in the heart of Chilliwack which seats around 22 people with very nice, clean tables and solid chairs and has an extensive menu for chicken as well as other mouthwatering appetizers, desserts, and entree s. The service is top like no other, with around 3 servers who are very polite, amiable, lovely, and efficient with cleaning up and sanitizing with COVID protocols. I came all the way from Coquitlam to eat this very tender, delicious, and, succulent chicken and other dishes. I sincerely hope that this store would magically move to Coquitlam as it is the best. I repeat, the absolute BEST chicken I have had in my LIFE. As much as the pictures are mouth watering, I have to say, when you first take a bite into the chicken, as well as weather it be crispy, Korean style, a family meal, pop corn chicken, potato wedges, and onion chips. I have to say, these are the best dishes I have had by far; and I ve had a lot of chicken in my 20 years living on this planet. I ve tried a plethora of chicken and this John s Fried Chicken specifically in Chilliwack, is the absolute pinnacle of chicken deliciously. The absolute best chicken menu in my personal opinion is the crispy chicken as it tastes and feels so much more fresh then other competitor companies such as KFC or Churches as those places, the grease feels very old and in essence makes the chicken taste old. But this restaurant, the chicken feels and tastes amazing!!!!!!! Eat dish is carefully placed and, the chicken is 100% organic and is not frozen like other competitors. The chicken is so fresh that I myself feel a very mesmerizing touch. Unlike other restaurants where the workers just defenestrate the chicken into a bucket, this store carefully handpicks only the best parts of the chicken and discards those that are not. The chicken wings are one of my favourites. The wings are perfectly seasoned with a touch of spice and done just right, like no other. With the skin, being the perfect amount of crisp and a flowing glow of delicious juice which assembles for a heavenly delight. All the flavor is kept in and on the food. After taking a bite into the mouthwatering chicken, drinking a sip of a soda just makes an aroma of delight. I must say that I truly do recommend to everyone!!! You must try this out and you will not be able to go back to the stereotypical KFC or Churches The prices are extremely friendly compared to similar competitor restaurants and tastes so much. Rating: I wish I could give them a 100 out of 5. But as this review system doesn t let me do that. Rating: 100/100

Some better sauce and a tomato slice and maybe a spicy version could take it to the next level. The gravy was generic. The thing that caught me off guard was the deep fried dumplings they had. 2 dollars for 5 and they were kinda small. However they were super juicy and full of flavour. I just popped them in my mouth no sauce needed. Next time i go there ima order 50 of those badboys.

Amazing chicken! The batter is perfect, crispy and not too salty. Very reasonable prices and excellent service. Definitely my first choice for fried chicken!

I liked that the chicken was fried fresh to order but unfortunately the chicken was not very crispy at all. I opened up the box in the car so I could try it right away. So it definitely wasn t because I let it sit too long... perhaps they didn t fry it long enough? Or simply their batter recipe isn t crispy enough. Overall nothing spectacular but not a bad option if you want to support local. They re less greasy than KFC so that is a plus.

We love Johns Fried Chicken and always stop there on our way to and from the lower mainland. The crispy spicy chicken is far better that KFC or Popeyes. The chicken is never greasy and is even crispy when served cold right out of the fridge. Hopefully a Johns Fried Chicken restaurant will open up in the Okanagan one day soon.

Fried chicken sandwich is excellent! Hot, freshly prepared, crisp head lettuce, mayo on a fresh bun. Larger than average too! We will visit when back in chilliwack. The owner is very nice and keeps the restaurant clean and tidy. Very personable and long time chilliwack family man.

This is seriously the best fried chicken we have ever had! I was coming home from relatives in Chilliwack, and saw the sign for Always Fresh chicken, and had to stop even though it was 8:40PM and figured that the chicken would loose some quality by the time I got it to Langley. But, it was the best looking, best tasting, crunchiest, best batter and juiciest fried chicken we have ever had. I have a new tradition every time I am coming home from Chilliwack, and wish I found it sooner!

Excellent fried chicken. I love the extra crispy chicken, its juicy and crunchy, but surprisingly not too oily. The gravy is super tasty and I always get a medium or large just so I can have extra to sip up (its just that good!). Ive also had the fried onions which were also really good, tasty soft onion with a crispy battered shell. Soooooo good. The staff here are friendly and very attentive when wrapping up your food. I would definitely recommend Johns over KFC or any other fried chicken place.

Honestly, nothing terribly special. The chicken breading wasnt crispy and taste just about average. The fries had no taste, could have used a little longer frying and some seasoning. Service was ok, the interior was pretty aged, cod really use a refresh. Lunch prices are decent, especially the combos.

The best fried chicken in BC!! My family has known this place for a long time and always delicious and fresh chicken. They trim the fat very clean and chicken pieces are good sizes, never been disappointed. They care their food quality, way better than any other franchised restaurant chicken. The restaurant is always clean. The owners are good hard working people.

Incredible fried chicken made fresh to order. I thought this would I be like oh so many crummy kfc knockoffs but boy, I couldn t have been more wrong. Their chicken is incredible. Such a delicate light and crisp batter that s actually a little reminiscent of tempura. If you re looking for some good fried chicken you owe it to yourself to try this place out! Update** tried a few more of the menus items and they did not disappoint, I especially recommend their chicken and vegetable dumplings!
