Herrons Country Fried Chicken Kilkeel in Newry and Mourne

Great staff and great food. Quick to

A mainly take away fast food outlet in kilkeel part of a family chain with outlets around the country. All food is chicken based in a flavoured wrapping. Staff pleasent and normally very busy.

Brilliant service lovely food and the chicken nuggets and chips are brilliant! I come nearly every week ordering 6 nuggets and large chip! Very very quick only 2 minutes for me to get I usually watch football with herrons! Best chicken shop ever!1!1!1!1!1!1!!1!1!1!!1

Tasty food, I enjoyed my chicken and chips

Quieter, and nicer than the one in Newcastle!

Sent 19pound on food chips were just pre cook it's not hard 2 cook chips an to top it of a bit hair in my food think they should be made to wear hair nets

I ordered a chicken fillet burger meal is says 8.95 on the menu including drink they charged me 11 pound they should update menu price very misleading

Very disappointed with this KFC one of the worst I've visited, food inconsistent staff disinterested

Lovely food very clean staff very helpful and kind

Chicken fillet on chips with gravy. Can't get better.

Flavour has gone down hill, while prices have gone through the roof. Think that will be our last time there..

We decided to get dinner on our way through Newcastle and stop at this fast food establishment. We purchased for £18 a chicken kebab and a chicken wrap meal. The word chicken should not be on the menu for these because there was basically none. after queuing and ordering we were informed that there was no red onions or tomatoes. A quick walk to Lidl would have fixed that. Poor experience of poor food.. will def not be back

This is a good well run place selling the delicious herrons country fried chixken.. Much the same quality all over. Good. . And staff alwqys attentive pleasant and kept busy. And very good value.

These outlets have been hit or miss this one was a hit .

Food is amazing far nicer than kfc staff are so friendly

We went here while on holiday, chicken is OK skin not crispy but sloppy very greasy, very slow service seems to me they can only do 1 order at a time, even though there are plenty of staff on, but they are just standing talking and staring at the customer's, but they don't actually take your order. Herons chicken used to be the best totally different taste now, long before I would go back, and you only get 1 good size piece of chicken and the other piece is a wing in the 2 piece snack box.

Good food but poor service for condiments never seem to get them.

Go here for the chicken gravy kebab

Extremely irregular quality. Used to be great, way better than KFC. Then got new ownership; apparently recipe and cooking instructions weren't part of the deal. Ordered from them a few months ago; no idea how you manage to overcook fried chicken closer to the bone while leaving outside soggy. Gave another shot last week; much improved although the outside was crispy & the meat there nice & moist still overlooked, mysteriously near the bone. But if new owners discover other seasonings than salt (was oversalted for me; but most people use a lot of salt in everything which makes it harder to taste salt, so probably ok by most people's taste) but if they figure out other things exist to season fried chicken (like thyme) & get cooking times down a bit better, then they'll be a welcome addition indeed to Kilkeel. 3 stars because they improved quite a bit since first try since ownership change and a lot of improvement in relatively short time. Can just drop in; which is nice, and husband said service was pretty good and was prompt. Will try again in again a couple of months and change review accordingly; hopefully improvement will continue and I can up stars then!

Chicken really good, big portion of fries

The place is clean, service is pretty quick and they also have the added bonus of nugeleto for dessert 😆

Lovely food and excellent service

Excellent food. Also serve fries for breakfast. Best in area. Coffee shop at back with plenty of tray bakes, scones, etc.

Food is served fast and tasted delicious

The portions are amazing and the food is perfect for that fried food craving. It tasted so much nicer than the usual McDonald’s, KFC, etc.

Meal deals to suit all and very tasty indeed

If it's nice do it twice. The taco and garlic sauce kebabs are the real deal. Had it two nights in a row and didn't do a third because that would just be wrong 😋

Best takeaway about, also do milkshakes ❤️

No good garlic mayo like soup one forkfull of chicken in my kebab didn't know wither the nuggets were cold or chicken. No hurry back

Drive from craigavon to here for a treat. Nicest 1 in the country and bone clean. Thanks a million.

On my way in to my logal country fried chicken tandragee I was charged £6.10for a burger meal then I was charged £6.30 I was told this was a sugar tax burger was small and cold

Orded 2 chicken burger meals. Was served Cold chicken in a bap with the tiniest amount of coleslaw. So disappointing.

Visited here for lunch it was outstanding, the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming the variety of food was excellent especially the slimming menu. Would highly recommend

Staff very friendly and food just great

Very rude staff. A man ordered before us while there was two staff at the till and another at the back of the kitchen. When we went up to order and said hello, the two women at the till ignored us and walked off. We waited a few minutes to see if they were going to come back to the till to take our order but they didn't so we left. Maybe they're incapable of completing more than one order at a time. Shocking service, will never return.

This fast food sit in & take away has a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a café that serves a range of beverages, sandwiches and delicious desserts. You will always find something to spoil yourself.

Had the super chip which was delicious. Chicken breasts weren't too salty. Miles better than KFC and any others, this is the best place in Newcastle for country fried chicken. Maybe the decor could be improved though

Lovely fry up on this horrible wet day, really enjoyed!

Good food a friendly staff will be bk

I visited the Kilkeel kfc fillet on Friday 30th September, ordered a chicken fillet which had numberous bones and fat throughout it, quite inedible and as it was a takeaway I was unaware until I was home. There must have been an issue with the chip fryers also as they were overcooked and hard. I have to say the staff were lovely but the food was very disappointing. I will avoid Kilkeel kfc in the future.

Good value for money. Very busy most of the time.

Good food helpful pleasant staff

Great food an pleasant staff, service is quick as well. They also do one of the best Fry's about.good menu aswell

Best fast food chicken restaurant in Northern Ireland!

Friendly staff, food was well cooked, no better tasting chicken than Herrons, FACT

My usual super chip was lovely and chicken breast was nice as well. The whole family enjoyed it, and you should too!

Pleasant staff, good food, even have a great slimmers menu, would highly recommend if you are around Killkeel give a go you won't be disappointed. 10 out 10 from me.

Chicken like rubber, chips like sawdust, gravy tasted like vomit over priced

Friendly service, good food, generally clean to eat something quickly in cultural conditions

Friendly staff and far nicer than kfc

Great food, top class friendly service.

Expensive for what you get.food quality very average.

This is a great place for breakfast,lunch or even a meal in the evening brilliant coffee even better breakfast very friendly staff certainly would recommend Herron's

Good food. Finger lickin tasty chicken

Delicious food. Pleasant staff

Good food, helpful staff, clean and tidy.

Food was ok but the place was grubby at the time of our visit I would eat there again but not rushing back Staff were very pleasant and fast service

Never fails. Food is amazing. Very easy to get to and plenty of parking. Would highly recommend anyone to try it

As usual the place is packed but the service was quick. The staff are pleasant. I had the super chip and chicken breast which was great. There's nothing more to say!

From the outside this cafe is a little deceiving it looks like a certain Fried Chicken establishment. Inside the cafe is split in two, one part is the Fried Chicken takeaway the other part is a sit down country kitchen style cafe. So I had a seat and ordered breakfast. The service was quick and friendly, the breakfast was well cooked and very well presented. I really enjoyed the breakfast served with tea, and toast for £5.50 which was excellent value.

Better tasting than the Colonel's chicken and much better service too.

Never had a bad feed in this place.chips are always freshly cooked.

Delicious fry freshly made unless you’re very hungry the small fry is adequate . Friendly staff don’t be afraid to ask. Very clean. Their carry out is fast and consistent.

Always good, image is a mini fry!

High quality fast food based around fried chicken.

Good place because it serves chicken, but me and my husband were kicked out, just because we're black!

Delicious kebab on chips with gravy. Good portion to fill up on, big drinks selection and enjoyable too.

Best place in Kilkeel for a quick snack

Has Wi-Fi, all you need to know, and there's no password so you don't have to awkwardly ask for it

nice clean place, gets busy at weekends and could wait a while for your food, handy there is a sitting area to eat your food, staff friendly enough

Not a big fan of it but kids like it. It fills a hole and, just like now it's jammed to the door. Food just OK but it fills a hole

Fuimos después de un paseo por la señorita mournes, que sirve algunos alimentos luego nos llamaron un taxi ya que estábamos demasiado cansados para volver andando ya mi batería tenía quedaron hecho, deliciosa comida y servido con una sonrisa. un gran servicio al cliente

I have visited CFC quite regularly each time the food has been really good. staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Had a lovely brunch here today the kids all wanted something different and the staff were very helpful and sorted us all out two adults 4 children food was lovely hot and the place is spotless

I have done the country fried chicken I have been to and I live in ballynahinch.Richard Herron the owner of the kilkeel branch provides quality food everytime and it is always nice and clean in it.

Probably 1 of the best Herrons locations

Took the two we ones in today for there tea they loved the chicken nuggets and curry chips . the staff were helpful. The place was spotless

Makes the best chicken burger ever. If you are near to Herrons you have to stop and get one to try foryourself.

Fast food carryout and also has seating area

Good choice of food on sit in menu, good selection of pastries, parking a bit limited, carry out is good, good value for money

I like this place because the foods are very nice and also its a great place to hang around with ur friend's and family

Lovely. Just had breakfast panini, beautiful. Staff friendly and professional.

In response to the review above from private c, regarding being ripped off in Newcastle branch - they offer a chicken only snack box as well as a chicken & chips snack box?? One of my favourite take aways & will always recommend.

Yo creo que era prueba un montón de diferentes estas lugar pero son enrollado de pollo realmente encantadora, precio es chip para el almuerzo

Had a lovely lunch here today what I love is in the kids can get fast food like gravy chips if they want and I can still get a nice dinner plus my we man just wanted a egg in a bap and it's no bother to get what your child is going to eat. The staff are fantastic

I love the food here only downside is if I want my coleslaw on the side instead of on top of my food I get charged an extra £1 and then it means I get less coleslaw other than that it's good

Best kebab on chip iv ever had! Very clean and tidy and a great varitey on meals and meal deals. They even serve coffee here.

Heron's CountryFryExcellent Ulster Fry with beans. Pot of tea & toast. Superb. With Teresa, my wife, son Jack & Grandson, Michael.

CFC is in a lot of towns across NI but Kilkeel is most certainly the best 1. Fast service and the food is always good it's always busy but with the great efficient staff you never have long to wait. Great wraps, burgers, kebabs and chicken gravy

This is definitely the best Country Fried Chicken around, there is one in my hometown which i never go to, but every time I am in Kilkeel I have to go to this one.

Superb and surely the best chicken outlet in the area. Nice clean and very big service area and great varoety of chicken variations to choose from and in my opinion best complimented by Herrons own very unique chicken gravy sauce makes it food to die for. Never miss an opportunity to visit when in Newcastle.

We go here all the time children love it and i can get food that suits me and get food the children love and staff are very welcoming and helpful

Good selection of chicken carry out mealsStaff pleasant and quick to serve their customers.Facilities clean and tidy.Prices reasonable.

Good value for money and tasty food.quick service in cafe and takeaway.very friendly and helpful staff. Something on the menu for everyone.will definitely return.

Great friendly atmosphere. Good clean premise's. Location also has indoor seating arrangements. Food was well cook through and decent menu options. So long as you like chicken.

Popped in here for lunch. Great staff, friendly and helpful. Didn't realise they had as much on the menu, thought it was just an extension of the chicken burgers and kebabs. Thai red curry is really good. I'll be back and happy to recommend the sit in menu.

Haven't been here for a while, so decided to give it a try once again. I ordered chicken fillet, chips and curry sauce. The queue was lengthy. Quite a wait. When I finally did receive the food it was not as hot as I'd have expected and the chicken unfortunately was rather greasy with a somewhat burnt oil taste. Hopefully this improves on my next visit or it really will be my final one.

Not sure where to start. Staff friendly but that's it,food is probably the worst I've eaten. My partner and had drumsticks white meat on the bone and Chips. Chips were like eating carboard dry and tasteless chicken was just a pile of greese. After eating about half of it both of us felt sick. So folks save yourself the bother and eat elsewhere. WE WON'T BE BACK.

I love herrons however, I found the one in Kilkeel very disappointing. The staff got my order wrong. The chips were hard and the gravy wasn't nice at all. Definitely a different taste to every other CFC I've ate in. Won't be back

Had a nice chicken burger Saturday past from here also ordered 2 extra pieces of chicken which were lovely too, didn't sit in but they have plenty of space & chairs to sit in, looks very clean and inviting, there was plenty off people in there when I was in also so that's a good sign.
