Cristy's Roast Chicken - Calgary

A great place to pop by if you are craving some hot chicken sandwiches smothered in gravy with a side caesar that has the crunch contrast you need.  <br/ <br/ It wasn't very busy when we visited, and the inside is a typical cafeteria/mcdonalds style.  <br/ <br/ Staff was a little intimidating, but only because we took a minute to look over the menu as we've never been.<br/ <br/ Cross between fast food and mom's leftovers.  The menu is an interesting offering of different dishes all tied together with of course chicken.

Rated 4.5 b/c Christy's puts out good food consistently. No it's not fine dining by any means but if you want a hearty meal for a good price, then Christy's is a great option. My go to's are the mesquite chicken and honey chicken.

This fast food joint is a stand alone building located on 32nd between Boston Pizza and Arby's in the NE. It has been putting out reasonably priced good food for years. I first started eating at Christy's in the downtown location years ago. There was always combo deals with their rotisserie chicken quarter chicken with two sides or hot chicken sandwiches, fries, and drink save . This was important for this poor university student who like to study at Devonian Gardens. I was very sad when they closed the downtown location.

We love this place. I feel that rotisserie chicken is much the same any place you go so my wife I go to Cristy's for everything else. The mesquite chicken is always delicious. I most prefer the salt pepper chicken. It far exceeds the flavour of most chicken dishes I've had. My wife loves the dill potatoes. They are always cooked well through (fully cooked potatoes are strangely hard to find in this city as most restaurants here have no idea about potato preparation or their cooks are just lazy don't care). Even the fries here are tasty. We love the added touch of the mini cornmeal muffins. I thought my mother was the only one who makes them. The vegetable side is nice as well. For just over $10, you can get a combo with 3 different chicken choices a side item. Their portions are reasonable in size. We are very fussy eaters but here, we like most everything on the menu. We will always come back!

One of my fav's in calgary. If you're looking for a chicken place in calgary this is the one. They have the perfact chicken and very friendly service. Been coming here for 12 years now. The rice and vegtables and the dill potatoes are the BEST also. If you are in the northeast don't hesitate to stop by this little gem.
