Our review

Poptata Chicken is a small takeaway on Landport Tunnel Road doing southern-fried chicken, chicken burgers and the chunky chips it calls poptata fritz; one reviewer describes it as a food truck. It is not on Tripadvisor and scores 4.9 on Google from 21 reviews, and the Index puts it at 4.60, shrunk toward the site average on a sample that only just clears fifteen. The reviews were re-read on 6 September 2026.

The chips are the thing. They are called the best ever, next level, crunchy and to die for, and one regular says to get the parmesan truffle chips. The chicken burger is named as the best in Gibraltar, the fried chicken as fresh, crispy and cooked to order, and the value as amazing, with a January 2026 reviewer calling it their new place after being let down elsewhere on the Rock.

The picture has a crack in it since the start of 2026. A January four-star found the chips lovely but the fried chicken over-fried, dark and not fresh, and a July delivery order reported a hard, dark, salty coating over greasy skin, with the chips arriving cold in an open tray inside a paper bag. The meat itself, both say, was fine.

Service is quick and the staff are liked; Antonio is named as good fun in the newest review, from September 2026. Twenty-one reviews, most of them from a burst in December 2025, is still an early run rather than a track record.

Come for the chips, a chicken burger and cooked-to-order fried chicken at good prices, and collect it rather than have it delivered. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here; the write-up is drawn from the reviews.

Written from the Google reviews and Google's score on 6 September 2026, not from a meal we ate — nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here. It is not listed on Tripadvisor. The recurring themes it draws on are below.

What reviewers consistently say

Our summary of recurring themes across the 13 most recent reviews, written in our own words and read on 6 September 2026. Recent reviews from both platforms are quoted, with attribution, further down.

  • A small chicken-and-chips takeaway on Landport Tunnel Road, described as a food truck.
  • Not on Tripadvisor; 4.9 on Google from 21 reviews; Index 4.60, provisional on a small base.
  • The chips draw the loudest praise, parmesan truffle chips included; the chicken burger is called Gibraltar's best.
  • Two 2026 reviews found the fried chicken over-fried and dark, and a delivery arrived cold.
  • Quick, friendly service and good value.

Due a re-read. The rating has moved +4.9 since these notes were written, so they may be describing a restaurant that has changed. We publish that rather than hide it.

How it compares

It holds 0.0 out of 5 on Tripadvisor from 0 reviews — well below the Gibraltar median of 4.1 across 106 restaurants with enough reviews to rank, and on only a handful of reviews, so treat it as indicative.

How the Gibraltar Index Score is built

It is not an average of the two. Each source is weighted by how many reviews it carries, then pulled toward the Gibraltar average so a high score from a handful of reviews cannot outrank a strong score from thousands. Poptata Chicken scores 4.9 from 21 on Google, which the model shrinks to 4.6. It is not listed on Tripadvisor, so the Index rests on Google alone.

We read the 13 most recent Tripadvisor reviews and summarised what recurs, in our own words; the reviews we drew on are quoted below, attributed to their authors. The Tripadvisor and Google scores are each shown 1:1 as those platforms publish them; the Index Score is ours and the formula is above. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here, so nothing is a first-hand verdict.

    Delivery order. Chips were good but arrived cold. Strange that they were sent out in a open tray, inside a brown paper bag. Fried Chicken coating was very hard and dark (possibly overdone?), salty, with greasy skin underneath. Once through to the chicken itself, the meat was OK.more →

    Nice chips, good portion and tasty, but the fried chicken was horrendous. Over-fried, with a weird dark colour, and definitely not fresh. Maybe I came at the wrong time, but this was my experience.more →

    Fresh tasty chicken cooked to order, crunchy tasty chips. Amazing value for money and lovely staff. After being let down by some other takeaways on the rock for quality and value for money this will definitely be our new place to go!more →
