    Good Fried Chicken Sliders, but nothing too special. Food: Dave's #2 (~$20) comes with 2 fried chicken sliders and a side of fries. Slightly smaller sliders and portion of fries compared to other similar places I've been to. That being said, the sliders and fries tasted good! I got the Mild spicy level, but tbh, I barely tasted any spiciness so I think I would go to the next level if I come back. Fries were crispy and tasty. Cheese was an extra $3. Mac n Cheese (~$5) tasted like your average Mac n cheese Oreo Milkshake tasted pretty average, the straw was quite smile and fragile so it was a bit hard getting the Oreo pieces and milkshake in. Service: service was great! The staff helped with my questions Ambience: decent amount of seating and it wasn't that busy for a Sunday night. Wasn't dirty and staff were seen cleaning periodically.

    Went for the first time to Dave's Hot Chicken at PTC They are located on the north side of the mall near East Side Mario's They specialize in hot chicken.....offering tenders and sliders They offer different spice levels as well It's a fast food type restaurant with regard to its setting and they have seating in there albeit it can be limited at times as they are steadily busy I ordered the slider meal which came with fries To my disappointment though, there is no drink included in the meal and you have to order it separately I ordered a slusher ...as it was a super hot day They offer strawberry Fruitopia, Cherry Coke and Lemonade I went with the Cherry Coke Was super good Meal took some time to prepare so be in for a bit of a wait for it When I got the meal it was good The sandwich was done well and I took the mild spice level and it was good Crinkle cut fries were a nice addition Meal was roughly around $20 and that's for one person so expect around a $40 for two people Was a pretty good meal but can be pricy and there is a bit of a wait time for the meal itself

    Stopped by during their opening and was impressed with how fast and efficient the service was, even with the crowd. The restaurant itself has a couple of seats. Tenders - 8.5/10 I got the medium spice, and they were excellent. Juicy on the inside, clearly brined, with a nice smoky flavor that sets them apart. Also, these things are massive for chicken tenders--definitely not your average fast food size. Fries - 8/10 Classic crinkle-cut fries, crispy and satisfying. The real star here is their spicy mayo--perfect pairing that kicks things up a notch. Hot Slider - 8/10 Tried it in the Hot spice level. Tasty overall, but I found the bun and toppings kind of overpowered the chicken a bit. Still a solid sandwich with great flavor. Spice Levels: They use a dry rub instead of a sauce, which I liked. The medium had almost no heat, which was perfect for me--it let the flavors shine. The hot brought a numbing, lingering spice that heat-lovers will appreciate. Overall, it's a great twist on hot chicken with unique flavor and high quality. I'll definitely be back to try more!

    “The chicken itself was flavourful, incredibly crispy without being greasy or heavy, and still juicy inside.”

    Finally, awesome chicken within walking distance from my home! It's taken me too long to experience…read morethe awesome fries, onion rings and crispy fried chicken that Chicken Kitchen serves! This restaurant has received wildly varying reviews, and finally I needed to judge for myself. I boldly ordered a 16 piece fried chicken family dinner, with fries, onion rings and mac and cheese as our sides. I phoned the order in, just to ask a few questions before ordering. The meal was ready in about 25 minutes, as promised. The staff who helped me and took my order was friendly, informative and kind. He was also honest. He steered me away from the mashed potatoes that I was considering, telling me, "They aren't the real thing." When I asked more, he continued to explain that they are a dehydrated, just-add-water type situation. So I quickly nixed those, and went with the mac and cheese instead. Knowing that it was my first visit, he threw in a bottle of ginger ale for free!! The meal itself was delicious and satisfying, with a few misses, as follows: Chicken - 5/5: it was so flavorful and juicy, with a substantial yet delicately crisp coating Masala Fries - 5/5. Crispy and mildly spiced . Onion Rings - 5/5. These were among the best my family and I have had. Biscuits - 2/5. Sorry to say, the biscuits were disappointing , with a cake-like, rather than flaky, crumb and bland flavor. Chicken Kitchen, please get a new biscuit provider! However, it's not worth taking off a star when the rest of the meal was on point. Chicken Kitchen, Bravo!! I'll be back,! If you are in the Pickering area, the Chicken Kitchen, modestly located in a humble little local mall, is worth considering. Parking is plentiful.

    We recently visited Chicken Kitchen in Pickering. The food was good, but there was one thing that…read morereally concerned me. The employee who was taking orders and preparing the food had very long, dirty fingernails. Since he was handling both customers and food, it didn't seem hygienic and honestly made me feel uncomfortable. I wanted to mention it to him at the time, but the restaurant was very busy with many customers waiting for their orders, and I didn't want to embarrass him in front of everyone. Food hygiene should be one of the highest priorities for any restaurant. I hope the management addresses this issue and ensures that all staff maintain proper personal hygiene, including keeping their nails short and clean, for the safety and confidence of customers.

    I wrote to the Jollibee link, which they response quick, but realized now Jollibee has implemented…read morea system (via Qualtrics) that uses AI-driven analytics to process customer feedback from surveys, comments, and reviews. This AI helps: Sort and analyze complaints Detect patterns (e.g., common issues) Speed up resolution times (reportedly improved by 50%+) So AI is helping internally, not necessarily talking to you directly. I am writing to formally document the issues we experienced during our visit to the Jollibee Ajax location. Our order came out to be like 164.94$ after taxes. We came to pick up the food and get on the road. I wanted to eat there so that the food would be fresh and hot. The only good thing that was hot was the chicken. The Angus burger was served cold and dry. We also ordered 24 pieces of Jolly Chicken -- 12 regular and 12 spicy --, but the buckets were not labelled or distinguished in any way. When I approached a staff member to ask which buckets were spicy, she initially pointed to a toothpick that was not there. I had to insist before she checked the receipt, consulted the manager, and corrected the order. Additionally, fries were missing from one of the combos. The manager, who was responsible for dispatching and packing the order, never acknowledged the mistake or offered an apology. Neither did any other staff member. That was not the reaction a manager should be having. They should be taking care of it themselves and apologizing for the error on their part. The thing that really makes me feel like we are not guests at the location is that we are just a number with $$$ on top of our heads. We were ready to take the order and go. If we did, there would be a lot more upset people who gave money to taste the food. We would have turned back to drive all the ways there. For sure, there will definitely be a huge complaint. Surprisingly, there were no apologies from the staff either. Funny thing is, I was doing a review of the food and service. It probably won't be that great due to the circumstances. I told myself not to post anything, maybe he can do a review another time after we speak to them. I guess not. During our wait for our food, a white Caucasian man said I do not usually do this and it's my first time here, but my burger inside was cold. I'm sure your manager on duty can recall this complaint. How can we ensure that this situation does not happen to anyone else, and what steps will you take to make things right? It has now been 12 days without any response or communication from the store. This is incredibly disappointing. Even with advanced technologies like AI, they still do not reach out to their customers after 12 days and counting. They should take an example from McDonald's, which is known for effectively addressing customer complaints.

    This was my first time trying this location in Ajax. There's a drive thru at this location…read more The spicy chicken is definitely crispier vs the original Jolly chicken.

    Bad food and bad service. They got my order completely wrong and then told me it's what I asked for.read more

    I stumbled upon this place today while walking around my neighbourhood. I love Indian food so, of…read morecourse, I had to investigate. Apparently, they've only been open a couple of weeks. Walking in, the space is mostly kitchen, with no seating (under COVID conditions). The previous (burger) restaurant that occupied this space before had only two tables of two and a counter in the window. There are currently two tables of four set up under a tent in the parking spaces directly in front of the restaurant. These tables could have been cleaner. In addition to TV screens hanging from the ceiling, there is a large menu on the wall with (I'm guessing) their six most popular items. I ordered the Tandoori(?) chicken from this menu. It included two leg quarters, salad, rice, naan, and a drink for only $9.99. Not a bad deal. It took about fifteen minutes for my order to be completed. A few other customers were ahead of me, also waiting, some impatiently. Once ready, I sat at one of the tables out front. Hmmm, no napkins? Only a spoon to eat with? Where's my drink? Once I got that sorted, it was time to eat. The chicken was a tad on the dry side and the flavours a bit understated. The salad consisted of lettuce, cucumbers, and red onions. The naan was large and fresh. The rice was plentiful, nice and fluffy. I'm used to bolder flavours in Indian cuisine. Overall, it was just okay. I'm used to bold flavours but I found the chicken a bit underseasoned. While the food wasn't bad, it wasn't as good as I was anticipating. Hopefully, these issues will be sorted out in time. PS - The fly strips hanging in the restaurant were a bit of a turn off.
