This is probably one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've had. The portion of meat is huge with two pieces of thick, juicy dark meat stacked on top of each other. The breading is also nice as it's not too heavy. We got the Nashville Hot Sandwich (mild) combo and the price is not bad at all for the amount of meat you get. The sauce it came with was tasty, and so were the the fries. We asked for mayo and were given a side container of it even though they didn't have packaged mayo. There are only 4 high stools by the window in terms of seating, so it's more of a takeout place. I will definitely be returning as I'm already craving it again! read more

BIRDIES Fried Chicken - Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich - Chicken Shop Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

An amazing local find that I found while I was in the area! I decided to give this place a try since the reviews looked promising. I visited on a weekend afternoon, a decent amount of people coming in and out. OG Fried Chicken Sandwich: The wait was around 8-10 mins which I didn't mind especially for fresh hot fried chicken sandwich. The fried chicken sandwich was piping hot, very large chicken portions compared to other chicken places. Overall, I had a great experience at Birdies. The spot is more of a takeout type of place with very limited seating. Highly recommend supporting this small local business, truly a gem in the area! read more

Food: we had the chicken tenders the poutine and the O.G Sandwich (spice level regular) chicken tenders were good especially with the ranch sauce. The sandwich was the classic Nashville hot and even the regular has some spice level that built as you ate it. Poutine and coleslaw were decent. Service was very friendly. read more

We tried this place out as we were craving fried chicken, we went with the tenders and wings to see what its like, we chose the regular hot spice and for people who love fiery food, we found their lowest level of heat was kinda the perfect amount of heat, The wings were very good, nice and crispy, seasoned well, the tenders were good, good size, cooked perfectly but a little over seasoned, the fries were good too, but ours were a little over salted too, very edible, but on the salty side, overall i found the food tasty and satisfying. i think if i order again, i would order the tenders without the seasoning. Sauces were fairly standard, i do like that they offered plum sauce, perfect for tenders, if they offered a hot honey, i would be super happy. October 12, 2024: We ordered from here again, this time i ordered the Sandwich, and WOW! it was super tasty, and huge! I absolutely love when I get value for my money, a rare thing these days. That sandwich was excellent. nice and crispy, not over battered, they used a buttery and fresh brioche bun, and i loved the fact they toasted the insides with butter, just adds more depth to the sandwich. I dig! super tasty, 100% I will order that sandwich again!! read more

Wanted to support small business and local so stopped into Birdie's tonight. Ordered a chicken sandwich combo and a chicken tender combo. Let's review in order, ok to bad: 1) chicken tenders - 7/10. They were "fine". Nothing spectacular, but reasonable. Reasonable price on their own. 2) fries - 5/10. Too salty. Nothing spectacular either - but for $4 extra in a "combo" without a drink, totally not worth it. Relatively small portion for that price. 3) coleslaw - 3/10. Very small portion - can't believe this is $4 extra in a "combo". Mushy. Odd flavour for a coleslaw. 4) chicken sandwich - 1.5 / 10. Heavily breaded, greasy chewy chicken meat, maybe some of it was breast, but I don't think so. I would certainly have expected it to be breast. Soggy lettuce on an uninspired bun. See picture of what we ended up not eating. read more

BIRDIES Fried Chicken - Chicken sandwich. Neither of us wanted to eat the rest of this despite still being hungry. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'm not sure if ownership changed or their heart isn't in it anymore but it certainly doesn't taste like it did. The Order: Nashville hot sandwich. It was chewy chicken thighs. Kinda rubbery. Not as hot as it used to be. Chicken Bites: this is the new chicken strips. Dry coating & undercooked dark meat. These should really be white meat. I had to cook them for 7 minutes in my fryer. Only ate 2 and tossed them. Poutine: ok wow. This is possibly the worst poutine ever. I asked for fresh fries. Got mushy cold fries. Maybe a tablespoon of gravy and curds that may not be best quality. Poutine needs ample HOT gravy. Charge more and make them right. $34. It was a total lunch bag let down. I ordered in store so it was made to order can't wrap my head around why fries would be cold. read more

Had OG buttermilk chicken strips. They were ok: not moist but also not dry. They were acceptably but not very crispy yet pretty flavourful. Truck sauce was like slightly spicy Big Mac sauce. The accompanying pickles tasted OK but were a bit dry. read more

Terrific chicken strips, and nicely breaded (but not too much breading (a positive). Chocolate milkshake also VERY good. But Far East for me, but GOOD (great!) enough to make sure I return. read more

I LOVED the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. This is matched with Chicas Chicken if you've had it (west). Although I will say, ordering "hot" at chicas, is waaaaay too hot for me. Ordering the Nashville hot here at birdies is PERFECT! (Equivalent to chicas medium) They have a yummy sauce and honestly will be back!! First time trying was great!!! Idk if they have waffle fries I just got the sandwich Highly recommend!!!! read more

BIRDIES Fried Chicken - Nashville hot - Chicken Shop Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've been dying to try this place for ages. The pictures of the fried chicken sandwich were just mouth watering. We ordered fries, a chicken sandwich, chicken fingers and coleslaw. The fries would have been better without the huge amount of salt. Like seriously inedible. And I do love my salt but come on. I was thinking about it later and thought it's probably a good thing that I couldn't eat the fries. The chicken sandwich on the other hand was so unbelievably good. Deep fried crispy on a Martins potato bun (I think, that's what it tasted like) with pickles and this crazy good sauce. My husband enjoyed the fingers but said he probably should have ordered the sandwich. Yup, he definitely should have. Coleslaw was super bland. Probably should have added some of the salt from the fries. We also ordered gravy. Not bad, nothing special, but I think next time we just order a couple of sandwiches and call it a day. read more

I'm in Trouble! That's right, trouble with a capital T. I just had one of the best fried chicken sammy's in my life! Marinated in buttermilk, perfectly seasoned batter and fried to perfection. Crispy outside and juicy inside. The truck sauce is awesome! I also enjoyed the fries and miso coleslaw was delicious and refreshing. Try putting some on the sandwich! My only beef was the serving size of the truck sauce and coleslaw. Both were half full so I felt a bit ripped off...but not enough to deduct a star. The sandwich made up for it and then some! So, why am I in Trouble? I'm a few minutes within walking distance and I have a strong feeling they're gonna know me by name! read more

Chicken quality has changed. The chicken now tastes like firm rubber and the tenders don't break a part like chicken breast should in layered pieces -probably genetically modified. Use to be a favorite spot, but not anymore. They have also changed the fries which are different but still okay. Not worth the money and the quality is very questionable. Am I even eating real meat? Sorry birdies, we are done. read more

Tried this for the first time today and was impressed. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich is really good and my favourite right now in the city. The fries were pretty bad and tasted like burnt grease, left a really bad taste in my mouth. The truck sauce was good but I didn't really need it for the sandwich, it was topped perfect with pickles and a good portion of truck sauce. Definitely going to be back, probably just grabbing the sandwich but I will try the tenders which are probably the same chicken as the sandwich. Check it out!!! read more

Great fried chicken sandwich. Made quick and well. Very friendly staff as well. Will definately try the Nashville Hot sandwich next time and the fries. read more

Really top notch. I just discovered this place - my waistline may regret it, but I do not. Definitely recommended.

The Nashville hot fried chicken is so good. The best kind of spicy! I had one Sunday and by Wednesday I was ready for another. The regular fried chicken is good too, but I think the hot is one of the best out there. Their fries are delicious too. So glad they're in the neighborhood. read more
