    Food was nice. But the cashier was busy chewing a small bubblegum nd her lips were so dry. She's talking while chewing that put me off a bit. They were less visible on the floor too as we needed a table to be cleaned so we can sit, one guy finally came but he said it was his lunch time( he did assist though).

    The Fly thru was crawl thru. Broken intercom system. Why could he not send people to car to get orders. Very bad service.

  • 2/5 Denise F. 1 year ago on Google
    As a family, we love chicken licken but unfortunately the service at the drive through is very poor. The wait is extremely long

  • 1/5 Thabiso Vuyo H. 1 year ago on Google
    Disgusting food there, it was inedible. We all threw it out. I've never in my life experienced such a horrible chicken licken. I'm now even reevaluating how I feel about the entire franchise.

  • 4/5 Pierre R. 1 year ago on Google
    Love Chicken Licken. Only reason not a 5 star rating - Alot of dodgy characters in the area... You have to be vigilant at all times...

  • 4/5 Luther S. 1 year ago on Google
    Service is exceptional, can't get enough of their hot wings but they should add more fries on their meals.

  • 2/5 Soraya S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was good but the service sucks!!!! We had to ask for tables to be cleaned and staff has attitude when enquiring about paper plate holders!

  • 5/5 Washington M. 1 year ago on Google
    The best wings I have ever tried

  • 1/5 Patience H. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 kebo g. 2 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Samkelo K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the worst wings, I've ever tasted from Chicken Licken. Seemed like they were pre cooked before baking them.

  • 2/5 Leseli P. 1 year ago on Google
    Poor service and can be served old chicken. Staff isn't reliable. Nice spice on hold wings

  • 2/5 Nomvuyo B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Nozi M. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 zolani P. 2 years ago on Google
    Its chicken licken obviously it tasted great and had the craving so needed to satisfy it..5 starts not enough..give them the entire milky way

  • 4/5 sandisiwe m. 2 years ago on Google
    They didn't have the sachets of hot sauce and they my meat was not fried perfectly...

  • 5/5 Vuyo K. 2 years ago on Google
    Good experience...quick and fast fly thru

  • 2/5 Likho L. 2 years ago on Google
    The service is very very slow considering that they call it a fly-thru. The staff not as friendly as you would expect but maybe because they know that it is the only Chicken Licken in town. Experience coule be different for everyone else but from my side I always prepare to wait quite sometime, the chicken is nice though

  • 4/5 Roy K. 10 months ago on Google
    Only Chicken Licken in East London. The Hot Wings are always awesome.

  • 2/5 Busisiwe D. 8 months ago on Google
    They need to work on their hot wings coating. It's always wet. The staff needs training there.

  • 2/5 Siphosethu M. 6 months ago on Google
    This place doesn't have a generator. As the only one in East London, I expected more. You'll drive from another part of town and get there to locked doors. Disheartening.

  • 5/5 Norma W. 5 months ago on Google
    Just full all the time.....but Chicken Licken is worth the wait.✋ 😋 😏 😉 🤔 😊

  • 5/5 Kobedi “Kobedi” M. 5 months ago on Google
    Very friendly and sweet ladies running this place. Love their service

  • 3/5 Yamkela M. 5 months ago on Google
    They are actually fast & efficient for a change, the wings are worth the trouble anyway.

  • 3/5 Yanga M. 6 months ago on Google
    The location does not look safe and the entrance to the drive thru is quite hidden. But it is a good establishment to get hot fast food on the go

  • 1/5 Afrika Azania L. 5 months ago on Google
    This franchise is really disappointing me, the drive through is never in operation & they are always out of stock, yesterday it was Ice cream, today they don't have enough wings. Just disappointing.

  • 5/5 Siyanda M. 11 months ago on Google
    Wings are great but the amount of salt, service can improve.

  • 4/5 Lerato M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best hotwings in town, but please reduce the salt in your recipe 😭

  • 4/5 Amanda M. 3 years ago on Google
    Good wings

  • 4/5 Nkosithethelele F. 10 months ago on Google
    Drive thru is so slow. Parking is small. Food is great. Service is just 3/5.

  • 5/5 Mahmudur R. 10 months ago on Google
    It's nice to have Chicken Licken in East London, For those who love to eat this, and who look for Chicken Licken wherever they go, especially for those who looking for 'Halal' food in town. #One problem, they do not have backup power at load-shedding time..

  • 4/5 Sumaiya's K. 10 months ago on Google
    Staff was very nice 👌🏻 food was good too wing was not oily in my town where I stay it’s too oily 🥴East London chicken licken was good 👌🏻🥰

  • 4/5 Mandisa M. 1 year ago on Google
    Service is quite fast, not sure if it's because I was in the drive thru

  • 5/5 Miles F. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good service, but avoid going in there around lunchtime

  • 3/5 Leon Van H. 1 year ago on Google
    Visit establishment during loadshedding hours . Staff looked exceedingly tired and some sleeping in restaurant chairs/tables . Could only order wings . Very small portions ! 😏 Love the " Soul Fire " sauce ! 😎🤙

  • 5/5 Awande M. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Dalibandla D. 1 year ago on Google

  • 3/5 Raeesa K. 3 years ago on Google
    Slow, chicken was good best wings by far if you prepared to die of hunger waiting in the "fly thru".

  • 4/5 Ammy A. 3 years ago on Google
    Good place got served fast did not wait much for my order

  • 3/5 Chuma N. 3 years ago on Google
    Chicken is always good. Quick service. If only they can get the card machines to work properly.

  • 4/5 k l. 3 years ago on Google
    The food is great, up to the standard of Chicken Licken. The drive thru or as they say "the fly thru" can do with some improvement, because when it is busy u can spend between 15-30min on the fly thru. Hence the 4 stars rating

  • 5/5 vusumzi s. 4 years ago on Google
    The spice is delicious, crispy, taste so good, I wish the store can be extended to other areas, during December I was driving around PE looking for Chichen chicken to my surprise there's none in PE, up until I came back to East London to enjoy my favourite meal at Chicken licken, 10 hotwings I'm like I just have 3😋👌

  • 5/5 Alex N. 3 years ago on Google
    To my surprise park and walk in to order inside was faster than the drive through service. I left long before the cars that were queuing infront of me on the drive through. That was lovely!

  • 5/5 Imran N. 3 years ago on Google
    Fresh food all the times

  • 2/5 Bulelani M. 3 years ago on Google
    Fly driving is very slow in side as well is full but can't complain we need umgqagi

  • 1/5 Prof G. 3 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 kim m. 3 years ago on Google
    I ordered 8 pieces but I got 4 and when I called they never assisted. I am not not happy at all

  • 3/5 Siyasanga M. 3 years ago on Google
    Service was pretty quick. The sides for a family meal are pretty small.

  • 5/5 Aidan E. 3 years ago on Google
    As a chili sauce connoisseur, trust me when I say Chicken Lickens home brand Soul Fire Chilli Sauce is one of my all time favourites. It really should be added to all supermarket shelves. If better marketed it could rival Tobasco at a much more affordable price. 🌶 🌶 🌶

  • 5/5 L N. 3 years ago on Google
    Fast service even though it was full I got out really quickly amazing food as well. Highly recommend!
