Love Chicken Queenstown

What a debacle! Just a couple of snacky ski bums craving a tasty gluten free tender meal after a cracking on the maunga. We love chicken, so this seemed like the perfect choice. It was not. When you think of a chicken tender you think of golden, juicy, tasty, crispy... But how wrong we were to rely on the website photos. What we received was an unseasoned, insipid, whiter than the snow tender with really no redeeming features. For an outfit that specialises in chicken, this was exceptionally bad. Only plus side to this whole shamozzle was the chips. Thank goodness Briscoes and Woolworths are close by to grab the other couple of necessities on this trip. We're not angry, we're just disappointed. Protip: Woolworths is just down the road. Grab yourself a packet of Waitoa gluten free burger fillets and some Makakihi Fries and you'll be waaaaay happier than us. Edit: old mate Owner is (again) saying it was a kids meal... Absolutely wasn't! ...not sure how long they can keep hiding behind that. Poor form to be honest. Get down to countdown - 3x the food, 10x the taste for less pesos

$74 bux for well below average food. Chicken 'tenders' were halved chicken breast, clearly not tenders. The onion rings had far too much batter and we're virtually inedible. Not too mention the $3 portions of sauce. At least the staff were lovely but this place used to be awesome. What happened? In response to the owners comment below, these were not 'kids tenders' this was a full priced adult meal. It was gluten free, perhaps that's where you're confused by the colour and clear lack of spice or flavour. The dispute was not the seasoning or batter. It was the fact that your 'tenders' were not tenders, they were very obviously chicken breast and that the onion rings were battered far too heavily, to the point that they were almost impossible to eat. And I have no problem paying for extra sauce, but it would be nice to have at least something on the plate initially before having to buy more, but $3 for a tiny portion is absurd by anyone's standard.

Fresh, tasty, value for money. My go to for celiac safe food in Five Mile.
