Ground floor is not spacious, and the heat at the counter area is nearly unbearable. I like the settings of the seats and tables upstairs. The meals are delicious and affordable. Staff are quite friendly although one or two who were clearing already used tables were a bit clumsy. TV volumes were unnecessarily noisy sometimes. Parking space is good! Staircase could have been finer. I dined in and also did takeout.

Chicken Republic's (CR) food is good but the delivery system is unorganized and terrible. Therefore, I recommend you have your dispatcher do the pickup.
My experience (dated May 5 and May 6, 2023, respectively)
Day 1:
I phoned CR at 5 pm and made the payment while on the call—it was instant and confirmed. About 2 hours later, the staff phoned and explained that the delay was due to "dispatchers not available". I was not upset and I had my dispatcher complete the pickup.
Day 2 (the following day):
I decided to use CR again and phoned them at 03:30 pm. An hour later, I phoned again due to a delayed response, only for the manager to say "Payment not confirmed". However, I overheard him instructing staff to confirm the payment from the records. I strongly doubt there was a delay—the banking systems within this period have been reliable, and an intra bank transfer will be instant (no speculation intended). Not long after, he phoned and said that one of my orders will be available in an hour, so I opted for another available at the time. Nearly an hour later, I phoned the manager who claimed: "the order was on its way". I requested the dispatcher's contact, phoned him immediately but he explained that he had only been notified a minute ago regarding the pickup. Ultimately, my day 2's 3:30 pm order arrived by 19:30.
My location is just 7-8 minutes from CR, Aka Road.
A really terrible delivery system. The take-home positive from the experience and episodes had to be my calmness.
