Arnold’s Fried Chicken

The fried chicken itself often receives praise for being juicy and flavourful, with a well-seasoned, not-too-thick batter.

However, this positive is frequently overshadowed by significant operational issues.

We note consistent complaints about extremely long wait times, particularly during peak evening hours, with some customers reporting waits of up to an hour for both dine-in and delivery orders.

This suggests a struggle with managing high volume.

Beyond the chicken, side dishes appear to be a major point of contention.

Reviews frequently describe the mashed potatoes as powdery, sour, or unfresh, and the coleslaw as bland or poorly portioned.

The fries are also often criticised for being tasteless.

While the chicken might hit the mark for some, the overall experience seems to be hampered by slow service and inconsistent side dish quality.

We'd recommend managing expectations for wait times and considering other options if the sides are a key part of your meal.

Best for those who prioritise the chicken above all else and are prepared for a wait.
