Joe Bird is in a great location by the water with ample indoor and outdoor seating. While we did not eat here, we did stop by for a few drinks. The waitresses were both absolutely awesome, the drinks were decent and the place was plenty open as we must have been by at a slow time. I would come back to give the food a go when back in the area. read more

I'm from California and have never had cabbage on a burger not sure if that's a Canada thing or if the chef did t know the difference between cabbage and lettuce and that the lettuce goes on top. The birria is the "idea" of birria. More spice doesn't make it birria. It was just heavily cayenne peppered shredded meat with a hot salsa- not traditional and no queso. My burger was also craze overcooked and chipotle makes a better bowl. The view good the food was bad and whe. Laying 150 for 2 people it needed to be better regardless of the location. read more

3.5 stars You could do far worse than eating here when in the touristy Harbourfront area. The location is right by the lake with large windows that get a lot of sun during the day. It is in the Queens Quay Terminal mall attached to Farm Boy. The prices are reasonable and portion size generous. I had the Joe bowl with hand pulled chicken, rice, beans, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese - one of the "healthier" options on the menu (well, not deep fried at least!). My DC had the special which was a chicken parmigiana that comes with a side Caesar salad. I imagine this place is packed in the summer, but on a winter weekday lunch, it was not busy at all so service was fast and efficient. They have happy hour drink specials. Nothing to write home about, but a reasonable option if looking for a satisfying meal in this area. read more

We were looking to sit by the water and enjoy an outdoor meal. However, we were waiting for an extremely long time for our food to come out of the kitchen. I finally asked our server and he looked into it for us. Unfortunately, the tostadas had stale tortillas, and the fried chicken sandwich was not sticking together, instead it was falling apart. Better options nearby read more

I've been here multiple times and really like its chill vibes. Prime location, right by the lake; it also has a nice outdoor seating area - a really good place for summer patio chills The food was great too; it has many drink and food varieties, with good quality and reasonable prices. The place is quite spacious, suitable for tourists, friends/family/work gatherings. The service was nice too.

We had a light lunch here and enjoyed the location very much. An eclectic choice of furnishings added some character to a fairly bland mall location. We enjoyed the food and the music was not excessively loud. Our server, Kate , was pleasant and helpful. I recommend this establishment. read more

Pretty descent spot on the waterfront. Seeing as to how most places in the area are tourist traps, many restaurants don't focus on quality. I came here with a party of 6 and we waited to be seated on the patio on a weekday evening. The line was relatively short and we had a great spot. I had the fried chicken bao with the spiced fries as my side. I was impressed that they had so many side options. I like the chicken baos but they could have used some more sauce. I should have asked for hot sauce. My friends really enjoyed their meals as well. Decently priced is a big plus. read more

Joe Bird - Fried chicken baos with spiced fries. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Friendly staff, good food, large menu, it's pretty good all around, it would be better with more indoor seating though

Nice little restaurant by the harbor front. Quite a selection from burgers, wings, and sandwiches. I went with the j.b. bowl which came with braised chipotle chicken, lettuce, pico de gallo, avocado puree, sour cream, cheese, habanero sauce and refried beans. I thought it was tasty but its a bit pricey ($17) considering the portion size but I guess you'd also have to factor in the price of a restaurant near the harborfront. They have a patio like area but the view isn't super great as there's another restaurant patio right between you and the lake. Overall, enjoyed the food however and would be down to come back and try another one of their dishes! read more

We were wandering around the Queens Quay area on a recent weeknight and decided to grab a bite at one of the few restaurants. We eventually settled on Joe Bird and joined the short line. That short line moved impossibly slowly because, I guess, the place was completely understaffed. (Likewise, the service we eventually received was unreasonably slow. Maybe if you're that understaffed, let people know? I think we might've chosen to eat elsewhere had we been aware of this issue.) After an inordinately long time with the menu, I was able to place my order and I wound up going with the Diablo Sandwich ("Fried Chicken Thigh: Diablo chili oil, pickled pineapple, garlic mayo and arugula"), and I got that with the Patatas Bravas ("With garlic aioli & bravas sauce") on the side. The food arrived a while later and it was unsurprisingly far from hot. And while I enjoyed the first couple of bites, that fried chicken sure possessed a nice crunch around the edges, the middle part of the sandwich didn't fare too well. The copious amount of that garlic mayo rendered much of the concoction a soggy mess, while the pickled pineapple gave the whole thing a fairly unpleasant tartness. The Patatas Bravas were fine, although they became less appealing once they moved into room-temperature territory. Really, the best part of our meal was the view of the water. And I guess that's the big selling point, because the place was packed. read more

I hadn't been in some time but headed down on a hot day in the city. The place is as great as ever! It didin't take long for me to be seated and the service was prompt and very friendly . The location on the water , with the welll appointment patios, bar and restaurant area open to the fresh air with House music playing on the weekends combine to make it feel like a holiday getaway in the city. And the food is very good and well priced. It's a magic place in a city sorely lacking in such places. I give it 5 Stars Frank! read more

Take out on a Saturday night and it was ready in 20 minutes. I ordered the fried chicken with cornbread for the side. My husband ordered taquitos. He really liked his. I love chicken. I love trying new places. But this had some seasoning on it that I think was Jerk seasoning - but I'm not sure. I don't like Jerk seasoning so that's part of why I didn't like it. I also think my chicken wasn't cooked all the way due to red meat near the bone. Fries were just ok, certainly not good enough to charge $8 for them. I probably won't eat here again but my husband probably would. read more

Sometimes you comes for the food, Sometimes you comes for the vibe and Sometimes you comes because it is just cool? Joe Bird probably the most happening place along the water at Queen Quay on a Sunday evening. On a nice summer evening, underneath the stars with live music. The crowds is hopping and the night is young. Patio is the place to be. Have a drink and some food? I don't think most people even remember how the food was after a few drinks. The "bird" was ok. I probably won't be back for the food.... read more

I can't get enough lakeviews and Joe Bird has great ones. More people need to enjoy this place. I saw a huge line before a Jay's game for the pub next door but you can grab a drink and a great bite to eat here. I'd highly recommend their Bird Sandwich. The smoked mustard aioli on this made the sandwich! I'm not sure if it infused itself with the provolone somehow but it was almost ballpark nacho cheesy. This on the crispy, juicy, chicken filet was worthy of a chef's kiss. You have a choice of side and can upgrade to a poutine or cornbread. This was a harder choice that you'd think! If you're a cornbread fan, it's an easy choice - not a lot of non-BBQ places have this side and it was a good one. The cornbread was served topped with a sauce. I suspect it was some sort of butter but it did look a lot like mustard lol. The cornbread was great with or without it. read more

Amazing views! Great salads. Staff is very friendly and attentive. The salad was fresh and delicious. Very creative flavors with coconut, feta, sweet potato and apple with a ginger light dressing. Worked very well together. John my waiter very very friendly read more

Joe Bird - Outside deck - Chicken Shop Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Joe Bird was probably the busiest establishment at Queen's Quay. It has great ambiance, with a tiered terrace facing Lake Ontario, and a DJ providing some lively music. Chicken is the name of the game here, whether you want it fried, grilled, with a hoisin tamarind glaze, or just wings. We decided on the fried and grilled, four pieces of each. At $18.00 per order, it's not cheap but probably on par with other places in the area. That works out to $4.50 per piece (a drumstick, thigh, or 1/2 a breast counts as one piece). It does come with a choice of sides. The fried chicken was very crispy/crunchy but didn't have a lot of flavour or anything unique about it. It was just okay. The grilled chicken had a bit of a smoky flavour but the thighs were a little overcooked for my liking. They were on the verge of falling apart. The breast meat, on the other hand, completely lacked any colour but it was moist. If I had to guess, I would say ther were cooked sous-vide and then finished on the grill, even though there was barely a grill mark on it. I may be completely wrong but it had a texture I'm familiar with from cooking sous-vide. The Patatas Bravas, one of our sides, was also overcooked and a bit mushy for roasted potatoes. The garlic aioli and bravas sauces were understated for my liking. The Brusssels Sprouts were okay. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance more than the food. I've definitely had better (for less money). Ambiance and location: 4. Food: 3. read more

Good food and service. The wings with the house dry rub are very good! I also tried poutine for the first time. Delicious! I don't have anything to compare to yet but they are good and crispy. read more

Gord and I had lunch today at Joe Bird. It was such a nice day and Gord and I sat on the patio. We split an order of corn bread and it was good. The jalapeño butter had a bit of a snap to it which was fun. We both ordered Joe's Fried Bird. I got mine with patatas bravas and Gord got his with fries. We both got mustard as our sauce but we found the chicken didn't need it. The chicken was good. It was moist and the coating was flavourful. My patatas bravas was interesting and tasty. We'll be back! read more

First review in Toronto. Yay! I love reviewing places like Joe Bird because there's just so much to talk about! It's not awful enough that I'm just over it, and don't want to even think about it, but not good enough that I'm left near speechless, with repetitive and impressed accolades. Let's dive into it! Food 2.5/5 -- The food was alright. I cheated from my normal plant-based diet in order to bring this review hot off the presses: I ordered the two pieces chicken and my girlfriend ordered the chicken sandwich. I was immediately surprised by how good the French fries were. Seriously, I dunno if they were double or triple fried, but they were damned good. Then I bit into my drumstick. In a word it was underwhelming; not bad, but not that good either. The breading was pretty tasteless, and the chicken was a little on the dry side. Then to my surprise the chicken breast was very whelming. Like seriously, even though it was tasteless breading, the breast was super moist and flavorful, and went well with the fried coating. It was very shocking that the breat outperformed the drumstick so drastically. As for my girlfriend's chicken sandwich, I would say it was somewhere in the middle. Service 1/5 -- I was debating giving a slightly higher rating, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Our server was totally inattentive, and gave us the minimal service, not even speaking to us as he was clearing our stuff. Seriously just walked up and started bussing our table when there's food still there and no obvious cues that we're done Interactions were kind of limited to basics, like "can I get you a drink? Do you want food?" It wasn't just our server though... it was also every other server there. I caught one server smiling with a table the entire time we were there -- admittedly I was being very nosy and snooping a lot. But not in a creepy way! I was genuinely curious why everyone was so grim. Yes, it was busy, but not overwhelmingly so. I didn't see a server with more than four tables at a time, mostly two-tops, there were two bar staff mostly chilling out, and also support staff. With a well staffed team, I'm totally perplexed. But all things considered, the service was at least timely, and we were checked on at normal intervals. I was kind of laughing as we walked off and noticed next door at the pub who's name escapes me, all the servers were smiling and laughing with their tables. Weird! Atmosphere 5/5 -- The upside to the grim service staff was that everyone around us was having a good time and enjoying themselves! Good view, good energy, good music, and awesome patio! My girlfriend mentioned she thought the prices reflected that this restaurant was a tourist trap, I however felt it reflected more that they have a great patio, with good lighting, lots of plants, and comfortable well spaced seating. Cleanliness 3/5 -- Decently clean place, but I don't know why they seemed to be falling behind on table maintenance constantly; its not a TGI Friday's or Margaritaville kinda place. Bathroom was sadly in the mall. It's what you can expect from a mall bathroom; chemical odors, messed up toilets, and motion sensor faucets that only start to work when you pull your hands away. Overall 2.85/5 -- I hate giving ratings with so many decimal integers but there you go... couldn't give them a 2 on food, but couldn't bring myself to give them a 3. Round them down or up if you wish, depending on your own sensibilities. All in all, if you want a nice patio with a good vibe, go here. If you're happy with minimal standards of service (not in negative way... but in a 'at least they're maintaining the table' way) then this is a good spot to check out. Maybe its a pretty awful place to work, and if that's the case, I in no means hold it against the staff -- I've had such jobs before as well, it's hard to keep energy levels up to expectations when that's the case! read more

We went to Joe Bird for our office team lunch; we were greeted by friendly hostess upon entering the restaurant. We were seated at the patio facing the harbourfront as per our request. The menu is simple - fried/grilled/smoked chicken, fried chicken with waffle or sandwich. Salad and vegetarian options, sides, bread. Sauce is their specialty, so you can order extra sauce or Sauce flight to try all flavours My group have ordered different styles - fried, grilled, smoked and chicken waffle. Food arrived quickly and the portion is decent. I ordered fried Chicken with Waffles ($10). The fried chicken was juicy and the skin was crispy although the skin fell apart easily. I especially enjoyed the maple coffee sauce with the waffle. Overall, my lunch companions were happy with their food except the one who had BBQ chicken found the bird was not marinated enough. We also ordered the Fix Ice Cream as dessert. The desserts are definitely photogenic; they taste pretty good too. They claim their house made softserve to be no chemical and no artificial. $7 seems to be a little high cost but it seems to be norm in Toronto for a fancy ice cream sundae. I will definitely come back. It is good value to have a harbour view Lunch with good food. read more

Joe Bird is one of the best fried chicken places in the city! The chicken is so crispy on the outside, yet juicy on the inside (an absolute yum!) I went there for brunch with my friends and Joe Bird did not disappoint. We have ordered a chicken sandwich and chicken and waffles and both were delicious! The only two things I didn't like were the service (we had to wait at least 10 minutes to be noticed by our server) and the mimosas were quite pricey ($11 per half a glass). Overall, not a bad experience at all :) read more

I live nearby and have been here a lot. Affordable chicken, relatively healthy option even if the portions aren't huge, makes for a good lunch. What sells this place is the ambiance, beautiful patio with a view of the lake. Their sides are surprisingly delicious. Broccoli cauliflower was an immensely pleasurable way to get my serving of vegetables. Loved my diabolos sandwich! They gave my the crispy option instead of the grilled that I asked for but I'm not complaining lol. The grilled chicken is fine. An interesting Smokey flavor but not a lot going on, wish they gave more dipping sauce. read more

Food probably 3.5 but rounded up to 4 for decor and service. I had the chicken and waffle. It came with a really interesting sauce (bourbon coffee?). So good. I enjoyed dipping my waffle straight into it. The chicken was good too and the coleslaw that came with it had good subtle flavours. I got the corn on the cob as app. It was ok. Tasted of mayonnaise. I like the mexican corn cobs at taco places better in terms of the toppings. Great spot to hang out by the water. I'd come again! read more

Went there for brunch few months back before the lockdown. First of all the atmosphere is very trendy and welcoming. We got seated right away even though restaurant was very packed. Server came and took our order but food didn't arrived in for next 40 min. I ordered fried chicken and waffles. Fried chicken had really unique flavour and it tasted amazing. Waffles and salad were great too. Overall we had a great experience other than had to wait awhile for our food. read more

Joe Bird summarized in one sentence: a semi-boujee fried chicken joint. Came here with a group of friends for dinner one night. As it is a chicken restaurant, I feel obligated to report on the chicken, even though I didn't personally order it -- most of my friends who ordered the chicken said that it was subpar for the price. The best bang for your buck is definitely to get the family platter if you're coming with a large enough group of people. Being a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of options that they had for me. I expected to only be able to eat fries and coleslaw, but I was able to select from multiple items, ultimately getting the Newton salad. The ingredients in this salad went together really well, my only complaint is that I wish there was more sweet potato in the salad. The size of the salad is decent if you're not too hungry, but definitely consider getting a side with the salad if you come on an empty stomach. Although the salad was good, the reason for my objectively lower rating is due to the complaints that my friends had -- decent chicken, just really overpriced. I think one of the most promising things that Joe Bird has going for it is its location. Located directly on Harbourfront, it's a great place to go while you're walking along the waterfront. It has a unique vibe that is perfect for a group dinner. Service is friendly, but if you're in a large group, the food is served pretty slowly. Verdict: [As a vegetarian], I'm personally surprised that I am saying this, but I would totally be open to coming back here again! read more

I didn't want to give 1-star review because I was enjoying my food and atmosphere, but the manager's attitude towards me made me write this review. To the owner: When we come to dine-in (patio din-in) during this COVID time, we trust that the restaurant take appropriate steps to keep everyone safe by following COVID protocols, but this didn't happen to your restaurant, at least for me. We went there tonight, during COVID time. After we were seated, a nice server came and got our order. The food was tasty and good until I found a short, blond hair in the food. My husband and I both have dark hair. Unfortunately I found the hair in my mouth while chewing and it was my last bite!!! Well, we all know that people who work in the kitchen are supposed to have their hair tied up or under a hat, by law... Seems like it didn't happen in my case. I told this to the server and she apologized she offered whether she could get another drink or ice-cream for us, well we didn't want (obviously)! Then she said she will give us discount. That was nice and I appreciate that, she then left and never came back, I asked her to come and have her manager come because I wanted to mention this to the Restaurant Manager as well. My concern was my and other customers' health not discount!!! She said she has already told him and there is no need to say that again! I said ok no worries! Manager Tyson: All of a sudden a guy came and without introducing himself said what can I do ?! I was like are you the manager? He said yes. I explained what happened to me and the real concern which was safety and health of me and other patrons.... He was looking at me like I was wasting his time and seemed like I did something wrong! He never apologized, just said ok I know, ok I will! That's it and left with attitude! I have never seen such a rude and unprofessional manager in my life who acted like the $7.00 discount on the food was paying out of his pocket and we were at fault because a hair was found in my mouth and during COVID.... We never asked for discount this was your server's offer, we wanted to be treated well as a patron. The server came and my husband tipped her, cause it was not her fault, she never said thank you, she said nothing for what happened to us tonight, threw the receipt on the table and left! Well finding a hair in your food (and in your mouth) is a gross feeling. It is even worse during COVID. We all know how serious this crazy virus is.... Imagine the staff behave like it was your fault! That is the worst! I just hope we wont get infected... I am sorry but even though I liked your fried chicken, I will never come back and will not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Came here with a group of 4 on a Saturday evening around 6, It was quite easy to grab a table indoors but the patio was crowded because it was such a nice day. Service was friendly but slow, we were busy chatting but it probably took about 45 minutes for our food to arrive. We ordered 2 pieces of fried chicken and 2 pieces of smoked grilled chicken with smoky BBQ and Rooster sauces, and chose patatas bravas and poutine as our sides. The portion sizes were smaller than we're used to, they gave us a drumstick and 1/2 breast for fried and thigh and 1/2 breast for smokey however the prices were reasonable at $14 per plate. Both chicken dishes were tasty, the fried chicken wasn't greasy and had good flavor but we agreed that the smoked grilled chicken was the better of the 2, it was more moist and the smoke penetrated the meat making it a more flavourful piece of chicken. I wasn't wowed by either of the sauces but they complimented the chicken well, the rooster sauce was acidic and spicy with a chunky texture while the smoky BBQ was what you'd expect of a bottled sauce. I enjoyed the patatas bravas the most, it had an aioli drizzled overtop and the spices were on point. The poutine was a little confusing, they flavoured it with lemon and thyme to give it some acidity which I thought clashed with the cheese curds a little. The fries weren't crispy but that's to be expected when doused in gravy, but for the price, I felt it was worth trying. The bao and the tacquitos were sold out and we had a mix up with our order but I would say even with the slow service that we had a good experience. I would come back for the smoked chicken and patatas bravas, and to try some of there sandwich offerings. read more

Chicken by the water. What more can you ask for? Fried or grilled chicken - pick your poison. We ordered the 4 piece fried joe chicken with Smokey sauce and patata bravas. It's a good serving for 2 people, but I was a little disappointed with the small portion of aioli sauce on the patata and small Smokey sauce given. The seasoning for the chicken was decent, still like Swiss chalets fried chicken more. Service is okay, could be better but they do have a lot of tables to cover since the patio is open. Honestly, if you're by the water and just want some chicken that's not overly fried, pop by. read more

I totally disagree with the review below outlining it was subpar food for the price. My sister and I went yesterday to check it out. I had the 2 piece smoked chicken & she had the 2 piece fried chicken along with a side each. Each plate with sides were $12, we were stuffed. I even saved one piece to bring home to my husband to try because I knew he would love the Smokey chicken. We finished it off with hazelnut ice cream with burnt marshmallows on top. Casual place and we will definitely be back, a hidden gem on the harbour front. read more

Atmosphere 5/5 Service 4/5 Food-value 4/5 Have tried the taquitos, fried chicken, smokey grilled chicken, and the vegetarian chili. When ordering the 2 piece chicken, I always choose the potato bravas as the side. The value is definitely there. The portions are filling and the cost is actually pretty reasonable for a downtown restaurant. Recommend the grilled chicken over the fried chicken. The fried chicken has very thin skin and lacks seasoning. This may be on purpose though because you get to choose a dipping sauce. I've tried the mango chutney and BBQ. Pick the BBQ. I would personally season the chicken though. Dipping the chicken into the sauce is like eating a chicken nugget. Atmosphere is great to relax and chill. The outside patio faces the water. Try the ice cream bar, I've heard great things about the offerings. read more

Wow, what a great find in Toronto! We totally did not have plan to eat their food! It was totally a coincidence and I was immediately sold when I saw their menu...fried chicken, smoked chicken, bbq chicken...i couldn't refuse! We ordered from the truck for takeout since it was a Saturday and almost everything was closed so there were plenty of seatings at the food court area of the mall and hubby wanted drinks from Tim Horton lol... We ordered the 2 pieces fried chicken with poutine (paid extra to get this as a side) with the yogurt based sauce and 2 pieces smoked chicken with the mango sauce with broccoli/cauliflower with some kind of aioli sauce. The food came out within 10 minutes, piping hot! The chicken was really juicy, I was a bit worried since one of the pieces was a white meat...and solo flavorful! The fried chicken was crispy on the outside, a bit on the salty side imo though. The smoked chicken had deep Smokey aroma, flavorful and again juicy...so good! Personally I like the smoked chicken more than the fried. The sauces were just ok though. The poutine was soooo good! They use good quality of cheese! It makes a big difference! The veggies were a bit dry but had good flavor. Overall, we were very happy we found this spot! Certainly a good reasonably cheap eats in the waterfront area of Toronto :) read more

Loved it! Best chicken and waffles I ever had. The coffee bourbon(?) sauce , killer.
