Mattawa Chicken

I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about stopping here on our way back from Sudbury to Ottawa. My boyfriend and I have been focusing on eating locally since the pandemic started.

I don't typically do this but I am absolutely fed up. Don't get me wrong, their food is ABSOLUTELY amazing. Their service on the other hand is completely...

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Whenever my mom orders, she makes sure to call right when they open to ensure her order is ready on time—usually 3 to 4 hours before she plans to pick it up. It always takes over an hour just to go and pick it up after placing the order, and yet, despite ordering more than 4 hours in advance, her food was still not ready. When she asked about it, the employee was incredibly rude instead of helpful. To make matters worse, I noticed one of the guys working there has a shed in the back where he smokes marijuana during his shift. I can’t help but wonder if that’s affecting their operations. I really hope they can get their act together because their food is fantastic when they actually manage to serve it.

The chicken was a bit greasy but otherwise enjoyable. My friend described it as S tier chicken although I would rate it A tier personally. The fries were good and the portions were also good for the price. Oh yes I did not know Jeff Bezos worked there is what my friend said as he finished picking up his order.<3

Friendly owners, great food, humungous portions, always happy smiling. Great place, great food?
