    • Rachel S. ★★★★★ Shawarma was not nice. The chicken and beef were fried and hard. The experience was not a good one. My jaw ached after chewing due to the hardness.
    • Bello A. ★★★★★ It was just what I wanted in a place, the ambience, and a great place for having a budget and friendly date.

    • Wachin D. ★★★★ Its a nice place to hang-out with a meal. Their meals are affordable too. I was there last Saturday with 4 others to hang-out. Chicken Republic is always the brand I go for wherever I find myself, beginning from Lagos, Lokoja and this time it was my first visit to the Makurdi outlet. The lady that served us, one Jennifer has a top notch customer service I haven't seen in any of the several locations I have visited so far. My concern however was about the space. The management should do more in maximizing the space, I believe proper arrangement can produce more tables and seats. I and my people had to hang in a corner for a table to be cleared before we could sit comfortably.
    • Ali M. ★★★★ Good to have local KFC/McDonalds, better place for hygienic food. Quality is okay. Wait time is high. No water in taps.

    • Agatha O. ★★★★★ This used to be one of my favorite spot for “local Tiv dishes. Recently, I haven’t been appreciating their meals, it’s not like it was before and the staff here, they don’t have a work attitude. Their attitude towards work or rendering services to a customer are discouraging, they are mean, rude and nonchalant.
    • Tunde I. ★★★★ To get the real experience of Benue food, you need to visit this restaurant. Food is freshly cooked and served in a very serene and clean environment. Air-conditioning is top notch to battle the Makurdi heat. Food prices are friendly and freshly made fruit juices are also available. I tried the sugarcane juice and it blew my mind away.
