Restaurant Open on Good Friday? Head Straight to ChickQueen

We have heard and experienced that finding a good, decent place to sit and eat on Good Friday is not simple. You might think that you’ll just step out, grab something quick, settle down, and enjoy. But instead, you cannot even find any fast-food eatery open on Good Friday. It's a statutory holiday, and almost everything around you shuts down with it.

We understand this can ruin your mood and plans, and we cannot let that happen. So, we have decided to keep the doors of ChickQueen open throughout this Easter weekend. Not only can you enjoy delicious offerings, but you can also take advantage of great deals at our Good Friday restaurant.

Why ChickQueen? Here's the Honest Answer.

It's Not Just Another Chicken Spot

To be honest, there are so many eateries that sell fried chicken. Some are amazing, some are okish, and the rest just leave you wondering why you even visit them in the first place.

But ChickQueen, it’s different because it's an ideal Good Friday restaurant. The chicken we serve is delicious, the portions are enough, and even the presentation is beautiful. Every time you eat here, you will feel that your money has been well spent.

Food Made With Actual Care

It sounds simple, but it matters: the food here is made with care. Not "care" as a marketing word, care in the sense that someone thought about how the chicken should be seasoned, how crispy the coating should be, how big a family combo needs to be to actually feed a family.

You taste that difference in every bite. Especially when you've been eating at places where you can't.

Right Here in Your Neighbourhood

For families in Mississauga and Oakville, ChickQueen isn't a destination you plan around; it's just there, part of the neighbourhood, the kind of spot you can count on.

No trek downtown, no parking nightmare, no feeling as if you wandered into the wrong part of town. It's local, it's familiar, and it actually delivers every time you show up.

Purely Halal, No Compromise

For many families, finding a good halal restaurant shouldn't be hard. But honestly? Sometimes it does. You ask, you get a vague answer, you end up checking twice just to be sure.

ChickQueen makes it simple: everything on the menu is halal. We don’t offer a few halal options, and there is no separate section. Whatever you pick will suit your dietary preferences and be purely halal.

The Dishes Worth Ordering

ChickQueen is a restaurant that will remain open on Good Friday, and we have a lot of options waiting for you. But our Good Friday favourites are:

Tandoori Chicken Sandwich

Walk into ChickQueen and ask what people recommend, and this comes up every time. The tandoori spice blend is what sets ChickQueen apart; it's not just heat; it's actual flavour. The chicken in this sandwich is juicy, smoky, and has a depth that most fast-casual spots just can't replicate.

Nashville Hot Chicken Tenders

These aren't your average tenders. These are Nashville-style, extra-crispy, and you can have them with dipping sauces; they bring real heat with real flavour. It hits every note a great spicy chicken meal should. Reviewers specifically call these out as a must-try.

CQ Hot Box

New on the menu and already getting attention, the CQ Hot Box brings together everything you’d want in one satisfying, shareable box. It’s a solid choice for Good Friday when you’re looking for something a little different to enjoy at the table. Inside, you get 1 OG Classic, 1 Chicken Tender, fries, coleslaw, pickles, and sauce.

Family Meal (Fried or Grilled)

This is the one for a full family dinner. Available in 8, 12, or 16 pieces, in either fried or grilled, the family meal is built for exactly the kind of sit-down Easter weekend meal you're planning. Add Tandoori Fries, Poutine, Mac and Cheese, or Coleslaw on the side, and you've got a proper spread without anyone having to cook.

Kids' Meals, The Little Ones Are Sorted Too

ChickQueen doesn't forget the youngest at the table. The kids' menu keeps it simple and familiar: a Chicken Leg Combo, a Chicken Strip Combo, or a 4 Piece Chicken Nuggets Combo. Easy wins for picky eaters, and it means parents can actually enjoy their own meal.

Desserts

A meal this good deserves a proper ending. ChickQueen's dessert menu has two cheesecakes worth saving room for – the Chocolate Marble Cheesecake and the Plain Cheesecake Slice. Rich, satisfying, and the kind of thing that makes a family dinner feel complete.

A Family Restaurant, Not Just a Restaurant That Allows Families

There's a difference between a place that tolerates kids and a place that's actually built for family dining. ChickQueen is the latter. The vibe is relaxed, the staff are welcoming. And the food comes out in a reasonable amount of time. Nobody's rushing you, nobody's giving you a look because your toddler knocked something over.

On a long weekend like Easter, when the whole family is around, and you want something easy and enjoyable, that atmosphere matters just as much as what's on the plate. ChickQueen gets that.

The Good Friday Deal You've Been Waiting For
