The curly fries caught my attention since I usually have to drive 1.5 hours all the way to Arby's for curly fries. Frankies blew my mind! I ordered it two days straight just so I can try the sandwich and then the tenders on its own. For the sandwich I ordered Nashville hot which was meh... I found the Popeyes sandwich to actually be better but the tenders on its own MY MY MY YUMMMMMMM. Especially the dips they have to offer Frankies signature dip, honey dill, and ranch. I HAD THEM ALL ! The winner is definitely honey dill! For the tenders I got HOT AF and to me it was just right. Nothing killer spicy, it was more of a sweet heat with a very pleasant kick to it..... Frankies you have stole my heart and I am going to be a forever customer for as long as you're open! Btw the curly fries are better than Arby's!

Wow. Just wow. These were one of the best chicken sandwiches I have eaten in the GTA (and I have…read moreeaten plenty of chicken sandwiches). I took advantage of the BOGO deal on Uber Eats and bought 2 Chicken Sandwiches ($8.95) and 2 sides of curly fries ($3.99). The chicken sandwiches were DELICIOUS. I got the Nashville Hot option (Choose between No Sauce (Ho Hum), Nashville Hot or Hot AF) and it was the perfect amount of heat. The sandwich itself is made up of 3 chicken tenders rather than one giant piece of chicken (which I kind of liked!). The curly fries were a little soggy because we got it to go but I'm sure if I ate them fresh in the restaurant, they would be hot and fresh. The fries also had some sort of flavouring on them, I think it might be cajun, which I loved! I will definitely buy these sandwiches again or even just the tenders themselves because they were SO good. Side note about the location: Frankie's Hot Chicken is located inside the Lone Star Texas Grill (which I didn't know so I circled around the plaza about 10 times before realizing it was inside Lone Star)

The chicken was seasoned well, the oil was fresh, the chicken was juicy and the order size was big. The sweet potato fries were also nice and crispy and they came w/ spicy mayo dip as well. The only criticism I have is that anything not popcorn chicken on the menu is quite expensive. The wings and the legs are not worth the price listed. Of all the shops inside this mall, this is the 2nd best one after SOI Snacks. I'd definitely come back to try the whole fried cornish hen. The decor is also an A++. Great graphic design on the wallpaper murals.

Bap Zip by Piggy's has been open for a while now, but this was my first time visiting. We stopped…read moreby around 5:45 p.m. as a group of four and were actually the first dine-in guests of the evening, though the kitchen was already busy preparing a takeout order. We were greeted immediately and seated at a table that was already set with cutlery and napkins, then offered both tea and water. They provide one physical menu per table, but there are also QR codes if you prefer viewing the menu digitally. Just a heads-up that the QR code is for browsing only, not online ordering. We ended up ordering the King Katsu, Rose Tteokbokki, Eggplant Dolsot, and a coffee. The King Katsu was absolutely massive, yet pounded thin enough to stay tender, with a beautifully light and flaky crust. The Rose Tteokbokki had the perfect level of spice balanced by a distinct sweetness. I would have loved to add cheese, but the $5.50 surcharge felt difficult to justify. The Eggplant Dolsot was another enjoyable dish, and the $3 coffee surprisingly reminded me of dalgona coffee, being bold, creamy, and quite sweet, like a dessert to finish off the meal. The restaurant itself has a unique, modern aesthetic that makes the space feel warm and inviting. The staff were friendly throughout our visit and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. As a nice bonus, they offer a 5% discount when paying with cash. Overall, the prices are on the higher end for Korean food, but the generous portions, quality dishes, and pleasant dining experience made it an enjoyable visit.

Went for lunch around an hour after their open time and got seated right away. It is not a large…read morerestaurant though (can seat maybe 24 depending on group sizes). Since the weather was so warm, we wanted something refreshing and not too heavy, so ordered 물냉면 (Cold Noodles) and 산채비빔밥 (Wild Vegetable Bibimbap). Each of our dishes came with their own servings of 반찬 (banchan side dishes): 잡채 japchae noodles, 깍두기 kkakdugi diced radish kimchi, and cabbage salad. Both mains tasted exactly how we were expected them to, neither with overpowering flavours, saltiness -- balanced well. Server came around mid-meal to ask if everything was good and if we needed any refills of the banchan. There's a 5% discount if you pay with cash, but they do accept card payment as well. Parking spot was very easy to find at that time, but even if at a busier time, you can still find parking in the plaza.

Dropped by this location to try out their food as I'm a big fried chicken fan but found myself…read moresorely disappointed. I got their signature chicken burger combo (total: $11 before tax). The chicken patty itself was decent but aside from the fries, everything else, including the service was lacking. The bun the burger came in was pretty much pulled straight out of a wonder bread loaf. It was pretty low quality and they didn't even bother to heat/toast it. The presentation was meh as the wrapping was taped off with scotch tape. Everything just felt lacking and not really restaurant quality...the place wasn't super clean either and the cashier didn't even ask me what drink I wanted, just gave me coke (and it comes in a can, not the bottle as pictured). as I said, the chicken patty itself was decent and I wanted to like this place but there wasn't really much to like, Everything felt low effort.

It's great to see such a healthy food option in the food court, with generous serving sizes and reasonable prices. We were actually deciding between A&W and Poulet Rouge, when the lady working at the counter lured us with free samples. I'd been curious how spicy the spicy option was, and was able to sample that (it's a reasonable kick -- won't leave you sweating, but plenty of heat), which was great! It really helped us decide to buy bowls here, instead of going for a burger. The store is takeout only, and the display is clean and bright. We bought 1 x 1 flavour rouge bowl, and 1 x 2 flavour rouge bowl. I loved their less-common base and topping options like bulgar, dried cranberries, pineapple, and beets. It's also nice that the toppings are chopped up into smaller sizes, so that each fork/spoonful can be loaded without stuff awkwardly escaping.

When this Mary Brown's first opened, I was elated. Markham finally has one! I used to visit Mary…read moreBrown's in Mississauga after work. There is one five minutes away from my workplace. The pandemic happened. I worked from home. I haven't had Mary Brown's for a few years. Recently, was in the western end of Markham. I needed to fetch some dinner. I did a search on my Uber Eats app and found a BOGO deal at Mary Brown's. Perfect! The Big Mary sandwich was BOGO. I also got a large mac and cheese, and a small waffle-cut fry poutine. My app stated that it would take fifteen minutes for my order to be ready. I was good taking my time driving northbound along Woodbine Avenue. I needed to make a left turn. I've been to this area before, with Freshii, Pizza Studio, Big Smoke Burger, and more in this plaza. I had an impatient dealer car behind me who honked while there was oncoming traffic and wanted to bypass me to make a turn. I had never seen that move before. If he wanted to get hit by oncoming traffic, be my guest, but don't do a tailspin into my car. I turned left. He gave in and followed suit. Weird. I parked away from Mary Brown's, as there was a tow truck helping out a car closer to the eatery. I realized walking over that I could have parked closer to the entrance. There were spots for pickup orders like mine. I walked in. This eatery is humungous. It was nice seeing St. John's row houses as a backdrop on the wall. I saw a cubicle area where you could pick up orders through the Mary Brown's app. There is a lot of seating and it looked clean. There was a customer ahead of me. I waited patiently before I headed up to the front. I got a nice woman. I showed her my Uber Eats order details. She nodded and grabbed my paper bag with my order. I thanked her and headed out the door. I had my food once I got home. I was excited to have dinner. My Big Mary's sandwich looked small in my hand. I do have large hands. However, this sandwich is a bit deceiving. The chicken was thick. It had a crispy exterior. It was juicy and fully cooked. I loved it. It was filling. The bun with the signature pickle slice on top was yummy. I loved this sandwich so much. I had the other one the following day. I got a large mac and cheese. It's a cold salad. I'm not sure why it has the cheese part in it. It doesn't taste cheesy at all. What's funny is that I don't mind that it isn't cheesy. I like macaroni salad and this version makes me happy. It's creamy and cold. The macaroni is cooked perfectly. I had half the mac and cheese salad during this meal. I had the rest the next day. I consumed all my waffle-cut fry poutine. The cheese curds were stretchy and the real deal. There was lots of gravy, which I love. It was salty, though. Bummer. The waffle fries were yummy. If the gravy wasn't so salty, this poutine would have been excellent. Instead, it was good and I needed a lot of beverages to quench my thirst. It was great finally visiting this eatery. I'm a fan. I need to return for more good eats. (123)

These aren't the massive chicken thighs you may be getting at other places, these are tender selected pieces that fry up great but leave a bit to be desired in terms of quantity of meat.

Didn't feel really oily either. Price is a tad steep $ 10.05 for fries but since it's actually chicken , it seemed ok .

The colouring on the chicken fries is supposed to be natural from ground up ingredient powders. I'm not sure if the owner is taiwanese or mainlander but he was really friendly. Didn't have any tissues and also no washroom at inside this unit, but he went to his CAR and grabbed me some wet naps to clean my hands which was really kind of him. The cutlet itself was breaded well, crispy and the chicken was juicy. The price is kinda steep so if it would've been a lil cheaper I'd award 5 stars. I'm keen to try some chicken fries with cuttlefish or tomato powder on the batter next time. It's a relatively chill spot and I don't think it's as well known as it's competitors, Monga or Hot Star, but it holds its own imo.

Le personnel m'a expliqué comment cela fonctionnait et comment commander. Ils ont répondu poliment à toutes mes questions. Pour moins de 20 $, j'ai choisi le Rouge Bowl qui comprend une base, une sauce et 7 garnitures. Pour ma base, j'ai choisi moitié quinoa et moitié laitue (pour 1 $ de plus). J'ai payé 2 $ de plus pour l'option de 2 saveurs pour mon bol de poulet grillé. Pour la première des 2 saveurs, j'ai opté pour la saveur la plus populaire de Shisha Garlic. Pour ma deuxième saveur de poulet, j'ai choisi Hercules Lemon que j'ai préféré ! Les morceaux de poulet au citron étaient plus juteux, tendres et moins trop cuits. Mais les morceaux d'ail Shisha étaient plus secs, plus durs. Dans l'ensemble, j'ai trouvé l'assaisonnement pour le poulet trop salé. Je préfère un goût de poulet grillé plus simple et plus naturel. Le quinoa était moelleux et bon. Pour les garnitures, j'ai du maïs, des poivrons verts, des oignons rouges, des tomates, des betteraves, des concombres et des haricots noirs. Pour la sauce, la saveur la plus populaire est la mayonnaise épicée, mais je préfère le citron vert à la coriandre ou le zaatar sucré. La variété d'ingrédients frais était bonne. Je recommande de l'essayer.

Ok so it's been awhile since my last review but ever since post-covid, I've been doing monthly…read morewings here w/ a buddy of mine from design school just to catch up on life. Our go-to order is the quintuple (5 lbs of wings; 3 flavours). We usually get 2 lbs of nero's epilogue, 2 lbs of cleopatra, 1lb of pandora's box and some beers. I think All Stars might've been the first chain wing franchise in toronto (even before Wild Wings but don't quote me on that). If you get breaded wings they always come out nice and crispy. The meat is pretty good (you'll get a dry one every so often) and there's a decent amount of sauce in most baskets (sometimes the chef has an off night and doesn't put enough sauce but he's pretty consistent). The wings aren't the biggest but they're decently sized. Is it the best wings I've had in toronto? Nope. That title would belong to King of Wings in Stouffville or the now defunct Fanzone Wings & Ribs in Scarborough. Both which have the biggest, meatiest, juiciest, crispiest wings I've ever had. But All Stars is always solid. As a chain, I much prefer them over Wild Wings tbh. The service can vary greatly lol. Each month, my friend and I get a different waitress and we've gotten some bad ones to some really good ones. It does seem like staff turnover is really high (either that or they just work the randomest, jumbled shifts) but anyways, the wings are good, the value is still there so for that a very solid 4 stars.

2023 Take Out Review :D…read more I won't lie, I am often lazy, and want food delivered to my door that is comforting. I hadn't had AllStar wings in forever so I ordered from here to satisfy that craving. Please note that the prices in this post are from UberEats :') 100% going to do it again this week I think haha. THAT is how good their takeout was for me. -[ALL STARS CHICKEN TENDER COMBO] $25.45 I got the flavor of Prime Time (Chipotle, Homicide, Ranch, Black Pepper) for the first time, and I'd honestly order it again. I did think it would actually be spicy given that the word "homicide" was in its flavor profile but I honestly found it to be sour more than spicy. I also upgraded the plain fries to Cleopatra Fries (Creamy Garlic and Honey Garlic Sauce w/parmesan cheese) which I always highly recommend -[BITES COMBO] $24.70 I got my usual flavor of Caesar Does Texas (Chipotle Base, Creamy Garlic, Parmesan), and I do have to say, the bites are much more tender, and moist compared to the tenders. I will likely opt for bites over tenders for future orders. I also upgraded the fries here to Loaded Fries (Cheddar, Mozzarella, Bacon Bits, Gravy) aka poutine with bacon bits. Pretty darn good too if I do say so myself Overall, totally worth ordering again!
