I got 4 piece for $13.53, and I got it spicy, what I really liked about this owner they were super kind and they said they were going to make a fresh batch that is why it took a lot a bit of time. The chicken was so juicy, and the spice was really good I would say it is one of the best fried chicken I have ever tasted. The chicken was crispy and really juicy inside and it had the perfect heat, the place could use a renovation but I'm glad this place is doing well and they look busy i would prefer that they make the chicken a bit more spicy but flavour was amazing. read more

This place is one of the best fried chicken spots in markham. I wouldn't waste your time with popeyes or those chained restaurant. Every time i come here, I'm surprised at just how juicy the fried chicken is. There are other fried chicken places that have pretty good fried chicken but if you are looking for something like popeyes or kfc or even churches chicken, i would rather come here instead. Place needs some work but food feels more authentic and less processed than the above mentioned chains. read more

Fried Chicken! Enough said right? I finally tried Krispy's Kajun Chicken, and I am soooooo glad I did. The owners, Shahnav and Riaz were former owners of Popeye's Chicken, and have been in the restaurant business for over 25 years! Shahnav is such a sweet lady, and I could see how hard working they are. Humble, appreciative, and so kind - they have definitely gained a new customer! Dine-in is not available right now, but the food was laid on a tray so I could take a video and pictures. I had to control myself to drive home slowly and safely! I arrived just when they opened, and had to wait about 15 minutes. No problem for me, because I knew I was going to get a fresh batch! The chicken pieces are large (no skinny pieces here)! The chicken was crispy, moist, flavorful, not too salty, or heavily battered. The fries and onion rings were perfect sides, and the biscuits, I have to say, are better than Popeye's. Thursday is my new favorite day! Daily specials are listed on their website, but today's goodies were the Thursday special, 3 pieces for $4.99, sides, $1.25 each. Happy to support local businesses :) Krispy's Kajun Chicken 4997 Hwy 7, Unionville, ON L3R 1N3 905-513-7558 read more

This place is basically a cheaper version of Popeyes (probably since they don't have to pay franchise fees). Overall, this is a decent option if you're in the area. Had a 1 piece & shrimp dinner, Cajun Fries, Tenders & Coleslaw. The chicken (mild) was decently crispy & tasty, but the flavour did not penetrate very far into the flesh. The batter was not very thick (thinner than Popeyes), which some people may like. The tenders were not very crispy and were less crispy than average for tenders. Though I ordered them mild, the flavour was also mild (significantly milder than the chicken) - it was still alright, but robust-tasting seasoning (you know, like Kaju... err, I mean Cajun cooking is known for) is possible without spiciness. They also could be moister. The fries were slightly rawer & less seasoned than at Popeyes. The shrimp was overall decent in texture & taste, though at times it was slightly mushy (probably from the batter). Both shrimp & tenders were served with sweet & sour sauce, which was a little strange, though the sauce was ok. The coleslaw here looks rather ugly, probably since they don't throw in stuff to keep it fresh-looking, but it was somewhat refreshing and had some crispness. The biscuit was a little dry. It was crispy, which was odd. Nonetheless, it tasted pretty good and dryness aside the crumb was decent. Just like Popeyes, which they are apeing, they have daily specials (including weekends) & sides/drinks can be added on cheaply. read more

So the owners of this standalone chicken joint actually used to be former Popeyes owners. Now they kept the unit and became their own chicken shop with a little bit of added secrets that they've put in to the food! Since Popeyes is literally one block down the road at Mccowan, this place can't afford to lose a step. I've gotta agree with what Ruby A said. The chicken, fries and onion rings are almost identical to Popeyes (all the chicken pieces are nice and big here whereas Popeyes sometimes give you these tiny malnourished chicken pieces). Where they DO differ is the biscuits. I think Church's chicken makes the best biscuits followed by Krispy's and then Popeyes. Krispy's was flakier and slightly more moist than Popeyes biscuits. They also have daily specials similar to Popeyes and they're actually listed on the store window and online. The pricing is better than Popeye's due to not having to pay franchise fees. It's a family run operation and when my order was ready, I was given complimentary fries because of the wait (which wasn't that long). Bonus for great customer service! read more

Krispy's Kajun Chicken is my favorite go-to, whenever I have a craving for fried chicken! The owners are incredibly friendly, and the chicken is fresh, crispy, juicy, and not too salty. The spicy version is my favorite. They have daily specials, with an option to add a side + drink to make it a combo. Monday: 3 piece tender $4.69 Tuesday: 2 piece $3.29 Wednesday: Chicken sandwich $4.69 Thursday: 3 piece $4.99 Friday: 5 wings $4.99 Saturday: Cajun poutine $3.99 Sunday: Two mini sandwiches $3.99 Side or drink - $1.25 * Prices confirmed as of July 1, 2021 * I prefer to support local family-owned businesses like this one! read more

Krispy's Kajun Chicken - fried chicken and french fries - Fast Food Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Fast food is like pop music. You get sick of it real fast but when it's good, you really like it. Krispy Kajun Chicken is a good pop song. Not too greasy, we'll spiced, and the chicken is tender, not dry. If you need your battered deep fried fix, this is a great place to get it. Family owned and operated. Support local food in your town! read more

I chose to give this restaurant by Markville Mall a try after a long day of shopping as I was tired and hungry! Overall, the spicy flavoured chicken was not spicy at all, but rather had a more distinct and strong flavour than the normal spiced flavour. So I would definitely get the spicy flavour next time, as the normal spiced chicken was not as flavourful. Regardless, the chicken was extremely juicy, and the chicken seemed to have a little Indian spice to it which I loved! The chicken was also fried when ordered, so it came out fresh and hot! The only downside is that the 'normal' spice level flavoured chicken did not taste as good, and that the side of mash potatoes were quite bland. I would also say that the Cajun fries could've totally had more of a kick to make it even tastier! read more

Small little restaurant with very friendly staff and tasty food. Our order was made fresh so it took about 10 minutes. Everything was perfectly cooked and tasted cozy. They use a ciabatta bun rather than brioche for chicken sandwich. It felt as though it was about to be too much, but it was not and every bite was a good one! We are stuffed and happy. read more

Chicken was delicious and the customer service was very friendly. Missed out on the beans and rice so I'll have to stop by again the next time I am in Markham. read more

Chicken was tender and cooked perfectly. Amazing flavour wise. Fries were delicious, some of my favourite I've had, crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside with amazing Cajun flavour. only complaint, which brought down the quality of the whole meal, was the bun. It was hard and stale, as if it was several days old and had been left out in the open. Would order again just maybe not the burger. Additionally, really good for the price point. read more

I'm not okay with this. For years, I was able to avoid the lure of fried chicken. I just wasn't that into it. I never craved it like I craved other things. I had it maybe once a year, and only because someone brought it to a potluck or something. Recently there's been a shift in the tides. Within a month, I've gotten Krispy Kajun's twice. What is happening? It all started on Valentine's Day, when our ideas of a romantic gift to each other was to indulge in a food we never let ourselves indulge in. Fried chicken seemed like a reasonable choice. We'll just get the coleslaw to make ourselves feel like it's a balanced meal. "Hey, this place has good reviews and it's close by. Let's get take out! Oh great! 8 pieces with biscuits and a side for $20. Sure beats a steak dinner haha! Wow, this chicken sure is crispy. I never expected it to break apart all flaky like that. Damn that's good. The meat is so juicy too. Wasn't fried chicken always kinda dry? Damn, I don't remember fried chicken ever tasting like this". And with those thoughts, I was hooked. The next time we had a party, we ordered take out from Krispy's and everyone slid down the slippery slope with us. Along with the chicken, they serve biscuits and a bunch of sides (e.g. fries, mashed potatoes, onion rings, rice, corn). The cajun fries make a great companion to the fried chicken. To be fair to myself and my attempt at self control, I tried to order rotisserie chicken once. Krispy's advertised itself as doing both. It's still on their menus in the store AND online. But apparently, it's just a straight up fried chicken joint now. So, I guess there was no choice. Oh well. (16/100) - 2018 read more

Too expensive for chicken. $32.00 for 8 pieces of chicken and I had 3 legs in the box. Go to Mr. six not far, same side on hwy 7

Really really enjoyed the chicken here. Every piece was juicy and tender. Maybe my wife and I got lucky that day but we did not have a single piece of dry stringy chicken. I also love how they have daily deals. It kind of reminds me of mcdonald's good ol' days. Anyway, the place is quite small and only has a handful of tables. I assume people mostly take it as take out, so saving money on a smaller space is cool. I honestly will be visiting soon.. Can't get enough! I think the chicken here is better than Popeye's. Or maybe it's Popeye's inconsistencies in how much they need to make vs people coming to buy. Good bye Popeye's, I found a new coup lol read more

Went with girlfriend for a late afternoon fast-food around 3 pm. Spontaneously, I thought maybe we can have some fried chicken. I thought of Krispy chicken immediately. They had an advertisement for 7 pieces that's cost $13.99, very good price compare to Popeyes. They also allow you to have half spicy and half mildly spicy, I believe they also serve Halal chicken. The chicken did not disappoint, very crispy. Very delicious. I would have this everyday if it does not raise cholesterol levels, lol. This is a family run business, friendly service. The washroom needs some work. read more

Ordered 4 PC combo with mashed, 1 biscuit and a drink. Around $10.50 tax in. Comparing with Popeyes and KFC, this place wins no doubt. The chickens are big, probably double the size you get from KFC, slightly bigger than Popeyes. The meat is tender and juicy despite the size.. not even a little dry! The skin is crispy. The mashed is filled with gravy, enough for me to dip my biscuit in too. The only thing lacking is the spices.. couldn't taste the Cajun at all. I also got the chicken spicy but it wasn't at all.. I'll be sure to get extra spicy instead of regular. The staff is friendly and really talkative. They definitely brighten up my day read more

I have been driving by this place for years and I never had a chance to try their chicken until now. I am glad I did. I ordered the popcorn chicken- very tasty, crispy not oily at all and has the right kick. My son ordered the chicken sandwich and 1st bite he was nodding his head in appreciation. Poutine was good too. This visit definitely won't be my last. See you next week read more

The service staff is very patient, service was pretty attentive and the food is also great, salt put just the right amount of.

My boyfriend wanted to get some fried chicken and instead of going to Popeye's we tried this little store on Hwy7. We were greeted very warmly by the staff there and we ordered their 2 chicken sandwich Sunday deal for an amazing deal! The best part was that the servers gave us some complimentary fries due to our wait (which wasn't long at all). And the sandwiches were delicious! All in all; it was a great experience! read more

I felt a little disappointed from all the high ratings. The chicken was hot and juicy but not as crisp as I'd like, definitely not in the same league as Popeyes. Seasoning also did not stand out. Overall, it was okay chicken, wouldn't mind coming back but nothing to write home about. read more

Krispy's Kajun Chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Great service good food! We took advantage of the 3pc Thursdays, lemme tell what we got and for how much: - (2) 3pcs Thursday deal - (1) 3PC chicken Tenders - (1) Krispy Cajun Sandwhich - (1) Cajun Fries - (1) Biscuit All came up to $28 BUCKS! Left me wondering, if eating fried chicken everyday was healthy I'd stop cooking at home (._ .) Anyways, when I was ordering, I said we need everything spicy or Extra spicy if you can, when our food was done, the person called me and said "You are Spicy guy right? Lemme give you something special", and he brought this spicy mayo from the kitchen. And from now on, my nickname is Spicy guy on Yelp B-) The food was really good, the Fried Chicken was cripsy, felt more fresh than Popeyes and KFC, he also gave an extra piece of chicken(insert Ma heart, ma soul meme). Cajun Poutine was amazing, primarily because of the Cajun fries, I'd highly recommend getting Cajun fries instead of regular. The biscuit was a little hard for my taste. TL;DR: Food is pretty good for the price, service is amazing. read more

Really quality huge pieces of fried chicken, thats cooked really well. It could use a bit more seasoning like Popeyes and maybe salt in my opinion. The chicken fingers were good but probably needed a bit more seasoning. The mashed potatoes and spicy fries were pretty good and good value for the cost. The food is generally really good value for the cost especially the Sunday special (2 chicken sandwiches for 3.99), which were actually huge sandwiches. Really friendly service and extremely clean restaurant. read more

Krispy's Kajun Chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Markham, Ontario

We transplanted from Chicago to Canada abt 2 yrs ago. We escaped the crazy Trumpster just in time lol. I've been lookin for a local Chix place for some time now. I love chicken, will choose fried chicken over anythhhhing lol so when I saw Krispy's I got so excited because it's pretty close to me. Place is decent, reminded me of my old chicken place. Small and clean. Ordered a 12 pc with rice and beans + mash + biscuits. Got home, let my son try it first which loves chix as well and told me that it just taste like it was only seasoned with salt, tried and agreed, daughter and wife as well. Dont get me wrong, its good food, I just expected a lot more bec of the reviews. Hate comparing it to big franchise chix place but I cant help it. It could use more spices to up the taste. My kids loves the sides and the biscuits, though. Would I go back? Yes. Maybe I got a bad batch and besides, I haven't tried the other items in the menu and would like to support smaller businesses. read more

A former Popeyes chicken establishment, they've been able to retain the same type of crispiness and taste (mild and spicy!) that I was hoping wouldn't change. It's the place for my once-in-a-long-while over indulgence for good ol' fried chicken! The service is at par with fast food places, I've never ate-in but have only done pick up. The location is accessible but it's close to Markville mall so sometimes traffic can get busy. I'd go back again ... and again. lol. read more

Krispy's Kajun Chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Markham, Ontario

So good! Right across Markville Mall, this fried chicken spot owned by sweet couple who used to own a Popeyes, blows their old franchisor out of the water. The best part of this chicken is the crispiness. The crunch basically echoed in my condo after I got their takeout family sized meal. Came with two sides and we ordered fries and rice. 12 pieces of chicken, 6 biscuits, which were perfectly crumbly on the outside and soft on the inside, and all for a very reasonable price. Cherry on top was that we placed the order for pickup, and the thoughtful lady waited until we got there to do the side order of fries so that they didn't get soggy for us. Would have been perfect, but the only thing I could even say remotely in terms of criticism is that the "spicy" chicken wasn't that spicy. It still tasted great though! Will definitely go back for more soon. read more

I got a four piece fried chicken here, two thighs and two legs. It came to around $9 with tax. Total wait time was around 20 minutes. I did not see a spicy option on the menu so I was given regular. My order did not come with any sauces or gravy. Chicken was freshly fried. The breading was crunchy and crispy (true to its name) and the meat was fresh and juicy but I thought both the breading and meat were bland and lacked flavour. Not bad for the price but nothing to write home about. I personally think Jollibee's spicy fried chicken is on another level compared to this. read more

Found this restaurant through yelp. Inside the restaurant, does look older however don't let the sway you from buying food. Best fried chicken I had in the GTA read more

I came here after reading all the great reviews. It is located right across from Markville mall. At first glance, you'd think that it's some small chain fast food restaurant. The interior of the place is quiet old, with a few wooden tables & desks. However, the server was friendly and welcomed us into the store. They have daily specials that are all below $4. Sides can be purchased with any order for an extra $0.99. We ordered the 7 piece meal with one Monday special, which came with 3 tenders. So for a total of 10 pieces of chicken came up to $14. Not bad at all for its value. We also added the Cajun fries to our order. The chicken tasted a lot like Popeyes chicken, but juicer & bigger. The fries were outstanding ! Would definitely come back for more fried chicken. read more

Krispy's Kajun Chicken - Chicken tender + 7 piece meal - Fast Food Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I picked up dinner for 4 adults and 2 children this evening. The customers services was excellent. I would even say it was above and beyond. We didn't know how many pieces to order. He asked us how many were eating and if we liked biscuits (the children don't like them). He recommended 12 pieces with one large fries (children love fries). This turned to be the perfect quantity ( = no up selling). He even asked the kitchen to make a fresh batch (all not spicy cause children can't eat spicy). We took the food home. The chicken was fresh, juicy, marinated, thinly battered. The batter was crunchy, not overly oily, and tasted great with spices. This is not fancy food. This is down to earth, old fashioned fried chicken done right. Together with good value, and friendly customers services, I can't think of one thing to complain. read more

One of the best chickens I've had. There's no going bak to KFC/Popeyes once you start coming here! I ordered 7 pieces for $12, available in original or spicy, and of course I had to get the spicy ones. They are super juicy and tender, full of flavours, and the exterior was really crispy. I've heard their cajun fries are pretty good but I haven't gotten around to trying those yet. Will definitely be back as it is conveniently located right across from Markville Mall. read more

Yum, juicy chicken! Just the way I like it! After reading the rave Yelp reviews here (and a positive rating from one of my friends), I decided to stop by here for dinner last night. I only realized after ordering that it's a Halal restaurant, but that's okay. Better for my mom though whenever I take her here! We ordered the Tuesday special, which is two pieces for $2.69, add 99 cents for a side. We ordered two of them, and had the onion rings and cajun rice as sides. The thighs and drumsticks were probably some of the juiciest chicken I've had, miles better than KFC, Popeyes, and Coney Island. The cajun rice was decent, while the onion rings were okay as well, but nothing too spectacular. We ordered a third Tuesday special after finishing two and the cashier gave us a breast and a drumstick. The breast was a lot drier, which I guess was to be expected. I would take away one star from the hot sauce, it was ridiculously salty instead of it actually being Louisiana spicy. Other than that, definitely will come back! read more
