Delicious and generous portions!!! The special menu was really top-notch. It was also great that my request to replace one dish with another was granted without any problem.
Despite the heavy hailstorms, the delivery was fast and also extremely friendly.
Ordered a mixed platter for 2 people via Uber Eats for 47.50.
It took over 75 minutes and arrived cold.
The ground meat was literally black on both sides. It wasn't Greek rice, but regular tomato-flavored rice.
Tzatziki tasted good.
The flavor of the other meat was also good.
The portion was meager; for 2 good eaters, it's too little.
In short, for 47.50, this is really not right. We paid way too much.
Especially since we had to heat it up ourselves in the microwave.
La Place is always a great place for a fresh and delicious lunch or coffee break. Whether you're craving a well-filled sandwich, a hot meal, or something sweet from the bakery, the quality is consistently good. Everything is freshly prepared, and you can taste it. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the decor feels cozy, even though it's often quite busy. I'm especially fond of their fresh smoothies and soups; they're truly excellent. The self-service concept works well, and the staff is friendly and efficient. It's a great place where I always enjoy returning, whether for a quick bite or a break.

(Slightly dited review because I didn't see the nugget menu includes 3 whole tenders, what a bunch of heroes! Toootally justifies the price now 😅 also, scroll to thebottom for response to owners.)
€22 for a nugget menu (edit: and a few tenders)? €2-3 for sauce? This is simply unnacceptable, no way around it.
Sauce should be like 30-80 cents, there's no rhyme or reason for this. Food is subpar, people there are very nice though, the shop interior could use an update.
In short: this is just Super Pizza Service trying to branch into chicken with a failsafe if it goes wrong, which it looks like it already is going (wrong) because they set the bar too high on price but too low on taste, quality and quantity.
So even if the people seem nice and the vibes are generally great, I can't recommend this place in good conscience and in fact I'll have to unfortunately give only a single star due to the price being so absolutely absurd for rather low effort food that's both cheap and easy to make.
Do I only have critiques and no solutions? Ofcourse not! Here are some of what I feel are better alternatives:
1. Do yourself a favor and go get yourself a bag of "Rooster's & Co." For €8,99 (they have a regular and a spicy version) from Poiesz, swing by Snackbar de Noorderburg to pick up fries (and maybe even their awesome peanut sauce) and you'll have a meal that feeds at least 4 people that tastes better - and you get all of that for less than the price of 1 singular menu at Chick'n Box.(!!)
Singular.
OR
2. Go to your own favorite fry-shop and swing by the supermarket for Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce (Chipotle version if possible), tosh the cooked Rooster's and Co. fried chicken and BBQ sauce in a bowl and mix - you'll have a solid fried chicken meal!
I'd genuinely give Rooster's and Co. a 4.6 out of 5 for bagged freezer chicken. Juicy, delicious and comparatively inexpensive. (Picture included)

UPDATED: in response to the rather unfortunate response from the owners, I have attached a picture of the prices of their sauces, since they seem to be blissfully unaware of their own prices.
These prices are 1.99 and 2.99 so they're calling me a liar for rounding up 1 cent. ☝️
"Comparing a freshly prepared restaurant meal to a frozen supermarket bag of chicken is not a meaningful comparison."
If you're getting beat by a frozen supermarket-product then that should worry you, I wasn't lying when I said Rooster's&Co. is better than your chicken. By quite the margin too, you should try it!
"That is like comparing a pizzeria to a supermarket cheese sandwich. It makes no sense and does not reflect the reality of food service."
No it's not, it's like comparing your overpriced party pizzas to a Ristorante pizza - and you don't seem to grasp the reality of reality, if you get compared to a freezing product then you kinda messed up, no?
"You mention our staff is friendly and the atmosphere is good, yet you give one star.
That says more about your reviewing style than about our food or service."
Not really but it does however say a lot about your product and pricing, the fact that I can have a pleasant experience and still rate your restaurant a 1/5, coupled with your dishonest response and childish accusations because I called your food subpar and expensive, is a sign that you messed up bigtime in other departments.
I also don't rate restaurants off of "vibes", I rate them off of food quality and pricing.
"We always welcome honest feedback, but misleading information and inaccurate comparisons do not help anyone."
No you don't you've clearly shown to have contentions with my review, you just straight up tried to paint me as a liar to invalidate my review, remember? Meanwhile I've got receipts and pictures to prove it. Denial don't make this chicken no better!
"We stand behind our quality, our pricing, and our team."
1. Yikes².
2. You just got caught lying about your sauce-prices buddy 🙃 stand by that.
Chick'n'box? More like Chickn'sucks, hehe.
Cope harder. ✌️
DO NOT ORDER HERE! My order was cancelled and I have been waiting for my money back for 1.5 weeks. I keep trying to contact them, and they say it is being taken care of, but I hear nothing and so far, I can still kiss my money goodbye.
It's a nice little shop for food until you walk past a scooter and get a lit cigarette thrown at you for some reason. I had a "good chat" with the delivery driver, after which I was glad I still had both kidneys. And if the owner doubts/disputes this, they should check the camera footage, because it wasn't very pleasant being followed halfway through the city by the fantastic delivery drivers.
