“ We LOVE this place. We stopped today and had a 7 pc with fries, gravy and coleslaw. They also gave us 3 little rolls. Chicken was great. Tender and good size. We will be back. ”
“ A couple of people we know recommended this place to us when we told them we were going to Cape Breton. We ordered a 3 piece thrift box with all white meat and potato salad. The fried chicken was delicious and cooked perfectly. There were loads of crinkle cut fries and my wife liked the potato salad. Good price considering the portion and very good service. Definitely better than KFC. ”
“ Great food, always worth the drive. Staff are friendly, and the food is consistently delicious. ”
“ In my opinion, A&K Lick-A-Chick is the best chicken you can find. I would love to have it more often but I have a 50 mile drive to get there and another 50 mile drive back. Also, A&K used to have a restaurant in New Waterford at least 45 years ago and my Mom worked there. So I've been enjoying A&K over 45 years and I will continue to make that drive every week or two because the chicken is worth it. A&K puts all other chicken places to shame. ”
“ Great retro atmosphere. Reasonable prices and big portions. Seasoning on the chicken was fantastic! ”
“ This place is always a must when in Florence. Lick-a-Chick has always been a go to take out place and their chicken has to be the best I’ve ever had. From pieces of chicken to chicken sandwiches it’s all mouth watering! ”
“ An old-fashioned Cape Breton family favourite, trapped in the sixties and seventies Style Drive Inn Restaurant, loved by many as some of the best chicken dinners you can enjoy today! Don't take my word for it, stop in and give it a try, I'm sure you will agree it is excellent! ”
“ I grew up in Cape Breton. Tried out a chicken sandwich from AK Lick a Chick on Friday. It was one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. I’ll be back. ”
