The Chickenburger

So.... this used to be THE place to go in Bedford, a place you knew had a friendly staff, and good food.
Well no more ....so disappointing.

First of all the staff couldn't have been more morose and completely checked out mentally.
Not one seemed happy to be alive, honestly they all seemed to be waiting to UN alive themselves any second.
I have seen more life in a funeral home. In all seriousness , I don't expect a song and dance, but staff who at least speak and don't have the saddest faces I have ever seen would have been nice.

The food was not great either, soggy fries, the chicken burger had very little chicken in it, and the chocolate shake had Zero chocolate in it....
I went back to the counter and said that this vanilla shake was supposed ro be chocolate.... the staff member said " oh " made a new one put it on the counter and said not one more word. ..

Also the milk shakes used to be made with ice cream. . Not any more.

I can say thie will be the last time we visit this place that was once an icon ... so sad.

The fact that chickens die, just to end up at this place, is probably the most tragic thought I can think of at the moment.

I ate here during burger week last year. I believe they had some sort of taco themed burger, and it wasn't bad. It wasn't the best burger id had, but certainly not the worst.

Was meaning to try this place again on a regular day and unfortunately that day was today.
I grabbed a chicken burger with fries while my fiance got the clam strips and a cheeseburger.
I opened the bag to see 2 tiny little wrapped bags inside which ended up being the burgers. I took out my burger and was disappointed already. I expected a grilled patty or even a breaded patty. Nope. Just shredded chicken. I opened the buns and inside was a massacre. No sauce, no lettuce/tomato, no seasoning, no cheese. Literally just shredded chicken in a shitty bun.
I googled them to see if maybe that's how they're supposed to come, because I was thinking they forgot my ingredients. Yep, that's just how they serve them. Dry chicken and bread tasted bland, and the fries were likely McCain. Boring. Fiancé's burger was miniature and bland as well.

If you are someone who recommends this place, I shame you. This is the kind of food I'd put together from the fridge 3 days after a chicken dinner, high and drunk at 2am.. though something I'd make from chicken scraps would probably still be better.

Food is blah. Chicken burger has no gravy. No spices. No teeth required to eat this bland burger.
Jukebox is lovely.

$15 for a "Works" burger, fries, and pop. Probably the worst burger I ever had. Although I've only been here less than 5x and can't comment on what their food is typically like; what they served to me was a dry burger with a bland meat paddy! I'll never eat here again. Not for that price and quality. As for the "works". The burger had relish and mustard on it. Nothing else. The fries were not worth mentioning either. No seasoning, somewhat soft and they got cold quickly. They looked like cheap fries from the grocery store you toss in the oven. The fountain pop was what you would expect from fountain pop. Little fizz and tasted watered down. I should have gone to any other restaurant but here.

Loved it as a child, teenager and adult. Had it a month or so ago and I was so disappointed in the quality. Chicken seemed fake , bun was not fresh and the milkshake was so watery. I don't think I will ever eat there again. It's so sad how the food has changed. Don't waste your money

Food used to be great but the service has always been sub par. Last several times the service has been exceptionally poor and the food is just not what it used to be. Half filled milkshakes, soggy fries, missing burger, clueless counter staff. No wonder it has more 1 star reviews. After this latest experience I have decided to never eat there again.

Tried this place for the first time and definitely the last. The food is not worth the price. Paid $36 for a tiny cheeseburger and fish&chips with milkshake. McDonald's or Burger King burgers are way better than in this place, fries are the worst that I've tasted. Not recommended.

I don't understand the poor reviews! This is a great little gem and they have the solid business to prove it! They did go through a phase when the chicken wasn't as good, but it is very good quality now, and onion rings we had tonight are fantastic! Try for yourself. It is a breath of fresh air to sit in your car and watch the sights while you eat a great meal and enjoy a little piece of history

The chickenburger's not bad.

Their cheeseburgers are better than their chickenburgers though.

Portions are small. Too pricey.

You generally know what you're gonna get. Same every time.

Too expensive for what it is though.

This review is entirely based on the Burger Week burger they had featured - wow!

I am not one to mix meats (this had beef & chicken) but everything about this burger simply sounded so perfect to me. Pineapple, jalapeño, soft bun; a whole lotta yum!

I hope they either make this an everyday thing and run it as a special sometime soon; it was that good!
