    Coleslaw is unusually green in color. Not wild about the taste either.
    Colanie B.

    I've noticed that the quality of fast food fried chicken joints here (in general) vary depending on store location and time of day. Reminds me of a greasier, saltier version of KFC original recipe chicken but with a crisper coating. The fries were greasy too. The biscuits were chewy as if they microwaved them a little too long. Coleslaw was a weird green hue (see pic) and the taste just didn't do for me. Saturday afternoons must be a bad day and time. As far as comparing it to KFC and Popeye's, they are two different flavor profiles (Kentucky Southern Fried Chicken vs Louisiana Cajun Fried Chicken). Different strokes for different folks I say.

    The filipino restaurants are slowly making its way into Canada! Finally I found another chicken place to rival the infamous KFC and Popeyes, the only difference is that Chick-N-Joy taste alot better to me. One thing I love about this place is that the chicken is not as salty as KFC and not as oily as Popeyes. If you've had Mary Browns chicken that's how I would compare it to, except that Chick-N-Joy is much cheaper than Mary Browns. They have a wide variety of items you would find at a chicken joint; sandwiches, nuggets, fingers, chicken pieces, and hot wings. They also have a special deal for every day of the week which is nice instead of your standard toonie tuesday that doesn't even cost a toonie anymore. For sides you have a choice of fries, wedges, and salads, but this is the only place that offers white rice as a side. Its not on the menu but if you ask any of the servers they will give it to you. Overall great chicken join with great food. Items to definitely get: - 10 piece dark meat chicken for $10.99 - hot wings - white rice

    Monday and Tuesday special for $3.60

    This is quite a long drive from where I live, but I believe the long drive is so worth it! I only go during Mondays or Tuesdays when they have their special which is 2 pcs chicken with fries for $3.60 I always make sure to order their buttermilk biscuit, which in my opinion hands down beats Popeye's biscuits. It's got such a milky taste that makes me feel like drooling right now just thinking about it :) The chicken's a little salty, but the gravy isn't and when they go together, it makes the chicken less salty. This is my number one fried chicken place.. wayyy better than KFC/Popeye's and there is always a long line up when their specials are on. I am a regular customer and I keep coming back for their juicy chicken and buttermilk biscuits. Definitely looking forward to trying out other stuff from their menu.

    Chicken is fantastic,so crispy,much spice inside. No blood left in the chicken like KFC and popeyes.

They…read moredo have their menu on the website online but it doesn't list all the deals that they have. They have a bunch of game day and weekday specials posted in restaurant. We ordered a Family Deal for 4 and were told it would be ready in 15 minutes which it was. The restaurant itself is not open for dining right now but the ambiance is really cool. It's decked out in Raps/Leafs/Jays stuff and there are cozy booth seats with TVs all around. The Family Deal was more than enough food and we had a lot of wing leftovers. The wings were large and really crispy even though they had been tossed in the sauce. I'd say that there were slightly more drumsticks than there were wings if that matters to you. The flavours we tried were the 40 Creek BBQ, Honey Mustard, and Raps on the Ranch. They were all good and I think they were especially good in combination since the Raps flavour was creamy, the honey mustard was tangy, and the BBQ was well, BBQ. The fries were very crispy (and salty although I don't mind) and very good with the gravy. I'm still trying to canvas the entire area for all the different wing offerings but you definitely can't go wrong with this place!

I got Hickory Smoked bbq and Louisiana Rub wings which are 2 fires and 3 fires respectively. Neither had very much spice. The wings themselves were OK. I ordered online and splurged on the Loaded Voodoo fries upgrade without knowing what it was. With the word "loaded", I was disappointed it was just creamy sauces and seasoning. I also asked for a blue cheese sauce and all ranch instead. The best part about my takeout experience was ordering online and the food being ready for me. 3/5, won't be returning.

This is what my gf and I ordered: -pacific glaze wings -spicy Korean wings -original hot tenders -Cajun fries -lemon pepper fries -Cajun corn First of all, we couldn't stop commenting on how the chicken was cooked to perfection! Like what in the witchcraft?? Cooked through and extremely juicy. I personally ordered the tenders and my gf had the wings. She liked both flavours. I really liked the original hot and it obviously pairs perfectly with the ranch. The lemon pepper wings were hella seasoned and a bit salty but it's a type of flavour (to me) that you can get sick of easily. I preferred the Cajun fries. Oh and I do want to mention that the fries reheated pretty well in the air fryer the next day. That corn tho?! Omg this is a must get. I loved it and would rather just corn than the fries lol. Literally haven't stopped thinking about Wingstop since I got it 3 days ago lol. Service here was friendly and the person taking our order was the one that sold my gf on trying the Pacific Glaze. The order took about 7-10 mins to come out. Can't wait to try more flavours! Thanks Pickering for a wonderful first time experience.

Really fun atmosphere, black and neon old school type of design. Prices were pretty good for the amount of food that you get! We had to wait a little bit before seating but there was a little fun arcade section so time passed a little bit. For the food Jalapeño burger - 7/10 It was a good burger, but there was nothing spicy about it. It tasted more like a great plain smash burger than anything. Retro blitz - 7/10 The two burgers tasted the same there was nothing two different to be honest that we could tell from eating. We added some dipping sauces to change up the flavor and the dipping sauces are pretty good. They're just on the little expensive side. You were able to choose any of the wings, sauces and get them on the side. Overall, a pretty great place if we were in the area and craving burgers would definitely stop by here again

    Saw this while at a Tamil grocery store near by and decided to give it a try…read more Price $12-$30 per person Items ordered: -Ana's Cookout -Wing Poutine Food Quality (Menu, Taste, Portion size) - 4/5 I love when a menu is focused and this place does that. They sell smash burgers, chicken burgers, tenders, wings, fries and shakes as their main items. The portions are pretty big, they give a lot of fries and their sandwiches are a good size. I got the Killer Bee and maybe because of how saucy it was, the chicken wasn't really crispy and lacked flavour. I'd want to give it another chance. The wing poutine was my favourite, it was so massive and I definitely had to save it for the next day. Atmosphere - 5/5 You walk in and immediately get transported back to the 80s in Miami. They really nailed down the retro miami vice diner vibe. There's limited seating as it's mainly a take out place. Service - 5/5 The staff here is incredibly friendly and nice. You can tell they're really invested in the place succeeding and are super helpful even during crowded times. They're very accurate about wait times and set expectations early. Will I go again? Yuppers! Need to get the wing poutine again and try the shakes! Lash's Recommendations -Wing poutine or any of the fries where you can add chopped tenders -Ana's cookout or Hot Spot combo but with either the classic crispy or nashville hot sandwich

I ended up with a drink leaking in my car because the carbonation was strong and didn't have a place to escape. - This place has the best brioche buns. - Get the Dubai chocolate brownie. Two Saturdays ago, I was in the Malvern area of Scarborough and had just spent some time running errands. I needed to grab some dinner. I looked at my DoorDash app. I saw a BOGO deal on a Boardwalk classic burger combo. Perfect! The combo details are as follows: - Two Boardwalk classic burgers - Two 8-ounce fries - Two fountain Diet Coke drinks I saw a Dubai chocolate brownie on the menu. I had to get it. I got an estimated time to pick up my order. I casually drove over to pick up my food. This eatery is located in a plaza. I drove southbound along Morningside Avenue and did a left turn onto Kingston Road. I then did a right into the plaza and backed into a parking spot. I walked into the eatery. There's a door to enter and a door to exit. It reminded me of Salisbury House in Winnipeg. The eatery was cheerful and spacious. I was the only person here at nearly 4 pm. I got a helpful woman who came out of the kitchen. I let her know that I had a DoorDash order. She took out my tray with my drinks and my paper bag of food. I thanked her and took everything over to my car. My food went into an insulated bag. I secured my drinks. Both drinks had the X on the lid sealed with tape. The problem with this approach is that the carbonation had no place to escape, except under the lid. Yep, I had Diet Coke leak out of one of my drinks. I ended up cleaning the mess after I removed the tape off both drinks to release the bottled-up carbonation. I drank one of them as I headed home. It tasted yummy and crisp. It was icy cold. I liked that the straws have a red diagonal stripe. They are paper and durable. Being a person who is curious about an eatery's backstory, I went on Boardwalk Canada's site to check out OUr History. It wasn't helpful with the birthplace right off the bat. It says that Dave and Fran DiFerdinando founded Boardwalk and they wanted to bring the "taste of Boardwalk fries" to Canada. Which boardwalk? It should be mentioned in the same sentence. When I think of boardwalk, it's the Beaches area of Toronto. Second? The boardwalk shopping area in Kitchener. The third? The boardwalk in Atlantic City. I don't recall any Boardwalk burger joint in any of these locations. When you read the Boardwalk Canada's story, the third paragraph says Ocean City's Boardwalk. Geez, thanks for burying this detail. As Canadians, are we supposed to know where Ocean City is? Looking at the Boardwalk US site, all my questions were answered in the tagline under the title of this History page. It's Ocean City, Maryland. Why not cut to the chase on the Canadian site with this detail?! One word: Ugh! Let's get to the food. I frankly didn't think the fries were to write home about. They are apparently cooked multiple times. I didn't taste it. They tasted like once-fried fries that were lightly seasoned. I saw tater tots on the menu. I'd rather get them than fries. I hope they are yummy. I will need to get an order and find out. The burger was delicious. The brioche bun was delightful. It was soft. Yet, it held everything together. It felt fancy and it was a nice change from a bun with sesame seeds. The seasoned beef patty was juicy and flavourful. It's halal, too. I loved the lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and secret sauce. They tasted fresh and were the perfect toppings. I had the Dubai chocolate brownie for dessert. OMG! It was stellar. It had the best semi-sweet chocolate. There was pistachio cream on top mixed crunchy kataifi bits. I'd get this dessert again in a heartbeat. I had a wonderful experience here. The burgers do run on the expensive side at roughly $10 and higher. It's excellent, though. I'd splurge getting one, along with the Dubai chocolate brownie. (368)
