I used to stop here on the way home from work. Great chicken and breaded fries. The problem is they make up new hours everyday. I went in at 4:30 today and I was told I couldn't be served until 4:45 when The hours on the door say it opens at 4pm. This isn't the first time this has happened. I was going to get dinner there but now I have to backtrack to somewhere else that's actually open. Also, I saw a guy get right off the bus and start working at this place without washing his hands. I didn't even care about that but today was the last of my patience and loyalty to this business.
I normally do any review but it was a terrible suggestion from my friend. The chicken was so dry and I got 3 mini wings & one tight. Can’t barely remove the chickens from the wings because how dry it was. The gravy and the wedges were okay…. The 8$ Prime hydration drink was the only thing I appreciated on that 30$ meal.
I was greeted by a really friendly gentleman who turned out to be the manager. I asked for recommendations on what I should try and he was very knowledgeable, kind and sincere. I can’t remember his first name, but I know it starts with an N and he and his family have moved to Canada from India a few years ago. The chicken was delicious, as were the potato wedges. Very tasty! And I will be back! Highly recommend!
I'm so unhappy with my order. I opened up my gravy and dunked a wedge into it. First thing I noticed was how thin and watery it was. I took a bite and I tasted...nothing! Lacked any kind of flavour, entirely. The wedge had a little spice to it, but it was really overcooked to the point that I thought I was eating deep-fried mashed potatoes. No cohesiveness at all. Now the chicken. Again, no flavour at all. But the biggest turn-off was the incredible amount of grease that rolled down my hand and arm when I gripped a piece to pull it apart. I can't figure out what the big deal is with this place? It's TERRIBLE food. Sorry, Chester, no good review here :(
My partner and I have been a few times and everytime, they always give us a few extra pieces of something with our order. The strips and wedges are so good and not too salty and nicely crisp. Great place for people who only order strips and fries, their chicken pieces are also really good and crispy. The staff is so friendly, especially when you start to be a regular. They treat you very well. Never a downside going to capones. Highly recommend this place.
I don't really understand the hubbub about this place. The chicken tastes ok, nice and crunchy, but very greasy. Skin had a decent flavour to it, but the chicken itself was bland. Wedges were also bland. No crunch, room temperature, would not pay for them again. Coleslaw is average, grocery store variety slaw. Once again, bland, took about 3 bites and put the lid back on. If I were to go back, I would only order the chicken pieces... To be honest, I'll probably skip it altogether and hit Sushi Story just a few doors down. Surprised this place gets this high of a rating in a "foodie" city like Victoria...
Capone's Chicken has always been hot and juicy, they have good quality fresh chicken, it's great to have some options for fried chicken in the greater Victoria area definitely recommend this.
My type of crispy coating! The server is extremely friendly and helpful, she did such a great job when there’s a line up in front of her. The chicken is super crispy and tasty, the wedges has the same batter like the chicken. Will definitely be back for more, I love the drumstick the most. The package is so cute too. Highly recommend👌
We ordered through skip the dishes and they forgot half our order. They admitted on the phone that our order was still at the restaurant and refused to help us after we waited an hour for our food. For $100 I was at least expecting to have my entire meal delivered. The man we spoke to on the phone was extremely rude and unhelpful.
The food were pretty good and I was surprised when I saw that they sell Prime!, the worker is also nice
I heard some stuff was stolen at your shop on Reddit hope you recover from the losses.
Chicken strips, coleslaw and wedges are not very good; regular chicken passes - definitely preferred over KFC
Everything you would want for good value
They cancelled my order
Will never buy it again, the chicken smell bad. We bought the chicken and potato wedges.
I have been going to Capones Chicken since they opened a almost two years ago now. I have seen there staff start slowly and not everything was right but now they do have great staff, It is hard enough for the owners to get the right staff. I love the chicken tenders now is my new found love for chicken. Love that you have moved downtown Victoria now. Good luck Moe.
Amazing chicken
Absolutely love this chicken. So tender and flavourful. The staff are always so polite and nice as well. Definitely worth a try!! Yum
Ordered the 4 piece combo with wedges and coleslaw. The coleslaw is so tiny and they give you about 6 small wedges in a four piece meal Definitely need to give people more wedges. As for the chicken it was okay at best, I got half spicy and half regular. The spicy chicken was way fresher and juicier , but the batter was , soooo salty that it ruined it. The regular chicken definitely tasted older it probably was sitting for a bit. You re better off going to another fried chicken place Chicken 649 , Lee s , even KFC imo.
Good chicken but never any boneless hot and ready. Just bone in. Pretty disappointing when youre on your lunch break.
One of the best chicken restaurants Their chicken is very delicious and it is a halal restaurant Please open a branch in Edmonton Alberta Thank you for your efforts and I hope to visit you soon
Good customer service, great chicken fingers and even better coleslaw!
I ordered food through doordash a few days ago. The chicken was way too salty. They didnt include my ribs with the order. Its disappointing when you cant get what you simply ordered. Doordash issues a refund for just that item and you just need to except it. Apparently a chef cant be bothered to cook a little extra to taste his/ her dish to ensure quality control. One good note was the chicken was cooked evenly through; however, anyones time would be better spent making their own food...Thunder chicken, Chimac and even KFC is better choice at this point. Perhaps they just had an off night but consistency is important and I see more of that elsewhere with other establishments and its management. I probably wont try this place again.
Order from Capones chicken via Skip The Dishes. First of all it took an hour more than what they said itll take. So Im sitting here just twiddling my thumbs waiting for my dinner, get getting a error message sorry theres been a delay with your order. So when the food finally came, the sodas werent even cold! How am I going to get dinner with warm soda? The food itself was horrible, no taste, I ordered spicy wasnt even that. I just wasnt happy with them at all. The texture of the skin was nothing that I have ever had. I was looking for a fried crispy texture. Instead I gotten a weird texture. Will never order from here again.
Very disappointed that your business doesnt accept cash. Some people get bank fees so they prefer to use cash. There are a variety of reasons people prefer to able to use cash. Cash is legal tender. Denying the use of cash is a bad move and is discriminatory. Youre losing out on business by not accepting cash. You should rethink what youre doing.
Best fried chicken dinner ever, hands down! This unasuming mom and pop style shop at Head & Esquimalt Road has amazing service, an incredibly personable manger and very reasonable prices for take-out food. If you order through the phone number, you get a smoking 42$ deal for a 12 pc chicken dinner! If you order online for p/u, its 9$ more and if you order for delievery, I think it ends up being 66 bucks. So just call in and you get a phenomenal meal for 5 or 6 people, which includes yummy fries, pop of your choice and a huge, delicious coleslaw! We love this place and the manager:)
Delicious
Great chicken n amd there potato wedges rock too great location
Moved to Esquimalt last summer and ordered in a number of times via door dash. Always fast and quick service, food arrives hot and tasty. I appreciate the menu options, often create my own variety of items. Will continue to order as a happy satisfied customer.
Omg so so good
shows up on my credit card as Parthenon Pizza
Just had the chicken tenders!!so so tasty I will be back for more!
Great chicken but they need to add more mojos. Pretty sad when you cant feed your whole family.
Chicken is alright, flavor is the same as 7/11 and similar to another fried chicken joint in town. Asked if I wanted gravy or coleslaw with the combo and received neither.
Quick, friendly, and they threw in some extra chicken strips for free as it was near the end of the night!
Tasty and good
Chicken was really good and crispy, however you cant ask for all thighs especially for the spicy option..you have to pay extra if you do
9.8 out of 10
Capones chicken is delicious, the quality is consistently high, and the owner is very kind. Ive never had a bad experience there. If you call ahead to order for pickup they will even make your order fresh so you dont get chicken thats been sitting under heat lamps.
Highly recommend
Capones Is now closed in Esquimalt and has moved to View St downtown. Its about middle of the road quality. Years ago this chicken was sold across the street at the corner store where the Pizza Hut is now, it was middle of the road then as well. The guy that runs the place is nice, but his prices are out to lunch. BUT it makes sense being currently he is the only one working there. Hopefully he finds some staff to help out. We wont be returning here. Not with Lees / Mary Browns / Chicken on the Run all within 2 blocks.
Its actually pretty darn good. And the people there were very friendly. Not all healthy, but the salad was surprisingly good too.
Amazing chicken and service. So so so good! Keep it up guys!
Ive gone back a few times now and like the reviews say: everytime I go back this place gets even better and better. The staff is super nice, and go above and beyond in their customer service and attention to detail. Definitely the best chicken in Esquimalt hands down, but may also be the best chicken in Victoria. Give this place a try and you will not regret it!
Got delivery! Was fast and chicken was crispy! I was looking forward to the coleslaw, then I discovered it was in a sauce ramekin, super disappointing since it said it was included in our combo, I would have bought another coleslaw had I known the one included in the meal was meant for ants. Great coleslaw though, but literally the size of a shot glass.
I just tried a piece of their chicken. The skin and coating are crisp and delicious with moist delicious chicken inside. They have a clean work area and pleasant staff.
For the price I expected more... chicken was very fry. Chicken tenders were extremely dry. Ill admit the potatoes wedges were good, but as for the chicken it was overpriced... we ended up ordering KFC 10 minutes after receiving our food. I love supporting local.. but I wasnt happy with the cost, taste, and quality. Tiny little coleslaw to.
Thank you Asad for always making a good impression on your clients. This kid always goes over andbeyond to make your dining experience a more pleasant one. You are a huge asset to Capones I just hope they realize that. Thank you again!
Mmmmm....damn good dirty bird. Top notch. Thanks
Could be the best chicken in town! :)
This is the best fried chicken in town. Love it and we will comeback for sure
We tried this for the first time last week and it was so good we ordered again this week! The chicken, chicken tenders, wedge potatoes and cole slaw are so tasty! Friendly, quick service! I highly recommend!
Went for the first time on Friday. Very impressed with the service and quality of the Chicken. We will definately be back and tell others to try it out.
Really good chicken. Not dry at all Great spice and crunch. Way better than when they first opened Worth a second try, no question
Greeted by a friendly young lady, I requested no coleslaw so they gave me extra Wedges. The Wedges were spicy and the chicken was not dry at all. I was hoping for a thigh but got a breast instead, not a big deal it was still tasty.
Tried for the first time today and was strongly impressed. I had the chicken tenders meal, they were great, the breading wasnt super heavy or over the top. And everything was super fresh, easy to tell it hadnt been sitting for an hour or two in the warming tray. Worth a try :)
(Food ordered through DoorDash.) Capones is an outlet for Chesters Chicken. The fried chicken and fries are actually quite good, which is a bit of a relief since Chicken on the Run has been far from great lately (especially the fries). The coleslaw is really stingy but who cares, maybe just ask for more fries. My only reservation is that the prices on DoorDash are significantly higher than those on the Capones Chicken website. For example, the combos are priced anywhere from $3 to $7 (!!!) higher on DoorDash than on the website.
First time there was great experience. Had take out, wedges are great, liked the tenders and bone in chicken was great. Didnt try the coleslaw.
Ordered based on all the positive reviews, was not disappointed. The chicken was moist and tender and the potato wedges were great.
The best chicken I have ever had.
Extremely over priced for the amount of food. A very small coleslaw and there were barely any potato wedges. We purchased a 15 piece family pack and a 3 piece chicken tender. The chicken pieces were very small. We paid $82 and had delivered from skip the dishes. Wont be going back.
My boyfriend insisted that this was the place for chicken... boy was he right! Great customer service, made my chicken fresh and told me honest time expectations and the chicken wasnt greasy, very full flavored, and juicy but crispy coating! Good job we will be back
Very tasty and not greasy. Wish I had gotten more.
Best spicy chicken,my wife and kid loves it!!! Fresh food and Friendly service
Best deep fried chicken Ive ever had, fresh and not dry, never even looking at KFC ever again, 10/10
Awesome chicken so reasonably priced .will be back next weeek!
Good fast and not expensive! Good stuff
Best Chicken in town. Great breading and not greasy. Great and friendly service
Delicious chicken and friendly service! My familys new favorite fried chicken.
If you like good chicken for reasonable price.
Nope. Bland...greasy...and about 6 potatoe wedges.
I like their chicken. I drove a long way out of way today to get some because I was craving it.
Pretty spectacular chicken. Theres a lot of great Korean style places in town, this is something more classic and Im a fan.
Best chicken on the island. Great service too
The chicken is ok, but expect them to skimp on the white meat. I assume thats how they keep their prices down. In a combination youll get no chicken breasts, in a nine piece, which is a whole chicken, youll get one. (Ever see a one breasted chicken?) If you complain about it theyll block you from their social media for pointing this out so be wary of reviews. They might be very selective. Pretty much every other chicken outlet in town at least gives you all the chicken, and doesnt skimp on the good stuff.
awesome chicken great staff
Best fried chicken I ve had in a long time!!!! Sooooo good!!!!
17 bucks for this???
Best fresh fried chicken, reminds me of growing up
Went for lunch. There was nothing freshly made. Waited 20 mins to get some chicken made and was served it to go in a chesters chicken box.
My go to place for friend chicken, their spicy tenders are fantastic!
Customer service is great Chesters products are quality. Highly recommend this chicken place
Better than KFC
Great chicken, great prices, great staff!! I will definitely be back.
Not so good food it ok I can do the same at home .
I go there just to get the wedges!! Oh so good!and the staff are pretty friendly as well!
This was my first time picking up chicken from here and it was incredible. My order was ready on time. The chicken was incredible and light and great tasting. And lots of meat on every piece.
Not only the best Fried Chicken this side of the bridge, but they finally added amazing gravy to go along with their stellar Potato Wedges (Taters) -- KFC, eat your heart out. Capones chicken pieces are actually of the proper size (unlike some other establishments), and their battery is nice and crispy, with a pleasant savoury/spicy aftertaste. Their chicken is great, and their taters & gravy remind me of home. Reasonable prices and quick delivery! <3
We were so looking forward to trying this new place so we ordered head and went to pick up. Unfortunately it was cold and very small chicken tenders especially for the price. Coleslaw was very liquidy.
We ordered the family pack of 12 pieces. We found that the food was hot and fresh and super tasty. Kids, KFC fans, say they preferred Capones to KFC now. Coleslaw was excellent, but barely enough for three, and were a family of four. Staff is very friendly, although perhaps new to the job. Owner (?) came out of the kitchen, greeted me by name, and put the take-out bag together. We are definitely going to be repeat customers. This is a deep fried chicken place worth trying out.
The best fried chicken in Victoria, by far! Ordered via DoorDash, it puts KFC to shame.
