Always good when it's not been in the cabinet for long. Fillet burger lots of lettuce, mayo and a drizzle of piri piri.

This used to be Sam's Chicken. Not sure when it was rebranded, but apart from the signage everything else appears to be exactly the same! Good food, all halal - pretty quick service.

We went in this afternoon with my child, and we wouldn’t be served because there was a large group of young men dressed all in black eating at the counter, and they wouldn’t move. It was very intimidating. The staff ignored the problem and wouldn’t even approach the counter.

Great place for halal fast food. The food was fresh and flavourful; while the service was friendly and timely the lack of seating was unfortunate, it did not dampen the overall experience and was a minor drawback at worst.

Tasty when it was Sams. Now it's gone independent and changed name to Ryde Fried Chicken it's lost all its appeal due to poor quality fries and fairly tasteless chicken.

Can be a bit too spicy. Otherwise it's what it is . Fried chicken. They do amazing loaded fries. The 2 mighty fillet burgers for a £10 is a great deal. Service is slow. No point in ordering ahead as you will end up waiting anyway

Absolutely awful! Partner went and ordered a massive meal for the family. Partner bit into his chicken wing and spat it out right away; it smelt like raw fish. Myself and a friend went back to Sam’s took it to them requested a refund, manager was very arrogant, very condescending. He wasn’t concerned about the smell of RAW FISH FROM CHICKEN.

Visited Thursday 7th September and ordered chicken and chips. Food didn't taste very good even though it states 'it's the best'. Friday was the last day of our holiday and it was ruined due to food poisoning which could have only come from Sams as I'd only had toast that day. Was very ill and made for an unpleasant journey home yesterday (saturday). Still not right today. Thanks for this Sam's. The place where we stayed are fully aware as they were contacting the Dr and I don't think they will be recommending you to their guests.

I ordered two rice boxes and it took 37 minutes to receive my order. When it came to actually eating what I ordered, the rice was ice cold and the chicken wasn't much better. Didn't get offered a drink or an apology for waiting so long. Shocking service. I understand and appreciate it has been a long weekend, but that's not an excuse.

The last time I’ve had something from Sam’s chicken I ended up with food poisoning which made me feel really ill. I love chicken and chips and wished I didn’t have this experience. Since I personally wouldn’t visit again and wait till I’m in London for some chicken and chips instead.

usually love getting fried chicken from here but after yesterday I cant in good consciousness recommend going back. I ordered my typical meal which was a club Max box meal. After consuming, I felt fine for the first few hours and woke up at 5:30 am and was violently sick. Working in this industry I noticed that the chicken wasn’t raw, but I believe that the food preparation handling process was not up to par. This was the only meal I had yesterday so could only be Sam’s Chicken.

Unfortunately this isn't a food review. Disappointed with their service despite the food being good. They took online order at 50% off but when I went to collect an hour later, they just acknowledged me and started preparing it. Which took another hour. One staff member was apologetic and offered some free wings for being late which I appreciated. However, another staff intervened and was angry with the nice guy for giving us free food. He then said we won't get anything as we already got 50% off like we robbed them or something. And that we can accept our food or get lost. I was left dumbfounded by his hostility. Had zero manners and refused to apologise, blaming their online ordering systems fault for being late. There was no point arguing with him so we took the food and left. It was good chicken and cheap but boy was he rude.

BBQ Wings are not Wings they are thighs and spicy. Spicy chicken wings pink inside. Forgot spicy rice instead of fries. Did say he would sort the spicy rice out but if it was like the rest of the meal prob bland. So didn't bother picking up. In all a waste of money to be honest.

Sigh. Where do I begin. Firstly I was warned by many people to not eat here because the chicken is always pink and undercooked. Me and my partner thought we would give it a shot and ignore the slander. But no, we end up getting food poisoning! ! Even worse we got salmonella poisoning and have been unwell for almost a week. Abousetly devastated the rumours were true and first time eating there we get poisoning, so we will not be eating here again or taking away ever. I hope an inspection is held and this place is closed down, I've spoken to a few people and they ended up with food poisoning / a dodgey stomach for up to a week after eating there. And some didnt even finish their meals because they noticed the chicken was under cooked. Either get better staff who are trained and know how to cook, or shut the place down. I am furious because I cannot go to work because of throwing up and dodgey stomach.

Don't get me wrong I love Sam's chicken but tonight my food came an hour and half over time food was Luke warm almost as if it was what was left as it was almost 10pm. Shame really as dinner became supper. Could do better. I believe they should employ more staff to help as my online order was left and walking were prioritized. They just said they were busy. Where I work we are always busy but I can't leave customers waiting we call more staff to get the job done . Conclusion tonight's order Lukewarm, customer service could do alot better.

Came in to see a friend and left with a warm contented feeling, the place is warm and cozy and very friendly, but spacious enough to not be overbearing.

This is a lovely little eatery, with great views over Ryde beach. I visited with my partner for lunch. We also had our dog, so we sat outside. There was a good varied selection on the menu, all was a reasonable price. The food was presented very well and was tasty. It was a little on the cold side but warm enough to not be too much of an issue. The staff were also friendly. I was a tad perturbed at the end of our visit when I used the loo inside the restaurant, my partner was waiting at the table outside and I was asked by the server if he was paying… I felt a bit like he thought we were going to run away without paying which I found a little offensive. That and the Luke warm food was the only reason I gave a 4/5 otherwise it was a lovely lunch and we enjoyed it. I would visit again.
