Fat Phill’s Leiden | 8.0

When it comes to fast food, there are a few big names that come to mind: McDonald’s, KFC, and Burger King, just to name a few. But have you ever heard of Fat Phill’s? If not, it’s time to take notice.

As a frequent visitor from this place, I can confidently say that this restaurant beats out McDonald’s and KFC any day of the week. Why, you ask? Well, for starters, the chicken at Fat Phill’s is way more crunchy than anything you’ll find at the other two chains. It’s almost like they have a secret recipe for the perfect crispy coating. And the best part? The chicken is always juicy and flavorful on the inside, too. The careful balance between a crispy exterior and a tender, well-seasoned interior makes their chicken truly exceptional.

But that’s not all. Fat Phill’s Leiden also serves up some seriously amazing freakshakes. And don’t even get me started on their mozzarella sticks – they’re a must-try for anyone who loves hot melted mozarella.

To top it all off, Fat Phill’s offers a variety of sauces to make your meal even better. Whether you prefer something spicy or sweet, there’s a sauce to satisfy your taste buds.  From tangy barbecue to creamy ranch and fiery hot sauces, the range of condiments allows you to customize your meal to your liking. It’s these thoughtful details that elevate the dining experience at Fat Phill’s, making it a memorable fast food outing.

Now, I do have to make one small disclaimer: the quality of Fat Phill’s can vary depending on the location. I’ve been to both the Amsterdam and Leiden locations, and unfortunately, the Amsterdam location just doesn’t live up to the Leiden spot. The Leiden restaurant consistently delivers the high standard of food and service that makes Fat Phill’s special, whereas the Amsterdam branch has been hit-or-miss in terms of food quality and customer experience. However, if you have the chance to visit the restaurant in Leiden, I highly recommend it. The consistency in quality and the overall dining experience there is worth the visit.

In addition to the standout food, the atmosphere at the Leiden location is also worth noting. The restaurant has a casual, laid-back vibe that makes it a great spot for a quick meal or a relaxed hangout with friends. The friendly staff and inviting ambiance further enhance the dining experience, making it a place you’ll want to return to.

In conclusion, if you’re in the mood for some delicious fast food, skip McDonald’s and KFC and head straight to Fat Phill’s. With their crispy chicken, amazing shakes, and mouth-watering mozzarella sticks, you won’t be disappointed.
