We got the following: Left Hook - Fried chicken tossed in jerk sauce, smoked Canadian cheddar cheese, pickles, and homemade coleslaw Country-King Sandwich - Nashville-style fried chicken breast, mac n' cheese, pickles, jalapenos The Tap Out - Popcorn Chicken on Fresh cut fries, with melted cheese with chipotle aioli My stomach is literally gurgling while I remember the taste of each of these packed sandos and the chicken! One thing that stood out for me was that their jerk sauce on the left hook sandwich actually was spicy and tasted like real jerk sauce !!! I was so impressed lol The country king sando and the tap out were definitely as cheesy as promised, so yummy and filling! These are for the cheese lovers out there! Overall we absolutely devoured our fried chicken feast !!! I am SO glad that this new location is in Mississauga, I believe the other two locations are both located downtown Toronto so this was undoubtedly a lot closer to me. We'll definitely be going back to try rest of the menu! Thank you knockout chicken for the mouth watering fried chicken and friendly customer service! See you soon. Check them out y'all!

I ordered the Nashville Hot Turkey Sandwich with mustard greens and my boyfriend got the classic burger with fries. The salad was simple but delicious. Perfectly dressed with a light mustard dressing. It paired well with my meal and it was a nice lighter option than fries. The Nashville hot turkey was yum! A nice size sandwich and piece of fried turkey, (for me at least) great flavour and kick of heat. I don't like pickles and usually pick them out, but the pickle complimented nicely with the flavour and heat from the Nashville sauce. Also, turkey is a little healthier than chicken, so that's a plus? Lol I don't like coleslaw but this one, I ate up! It was simple and a little more on the creamer side. I had a couple of my boyfriends fries with that Chipotle mayo. Mm mm mmmm. Love that chipotle mayo. The one thing wrong was that their glasses smelled and tasted chemical like. I couldn't drink as much water as I would've liked, as the smell of the cups were so off putting and also affected the taste of the water. My boyfriend actually ended up really liking the place as it is good food, good portions and well priced. I couldn't agree more. My bf is kinda hard to please when it comes to dining out lol so I was surprised that he throughly liked this place. I will defs return! I gotta get my hands on those dinosaur ribs!

The decor is very much in keeping with the classic barbecue joints of the south, the Coca-Cola decorations, the table coverings, even the jukebox in the corner playing rock 'n' roll music. The ribs were very good, although I was glad I got the sauce on the side as it was not exactly to my taste. Barbecue sauce is a very personal matter for most people and I'm sure lots of folks would enjoy it. The fried pickles were an unexpected delight, particularly the house made ranch which really accentuated the flavor. About the only disappointment of the meal was the dried out biscuits and coleslaw that was flavored with some thing unusual. Again, I suspect lots of folks would enjoy these items. I don't know if we will ever come again but we would certainly make a return visit.

The service was fantastic from the moment we walked in the door until we left. Our waitress, Diana, was fabulous the whole time we were there. The food was a different story unfortunately. The meat itself was really nicely cooked, tender and tasty. Where it lacked was in the sauce - I was hoping for that through and through saucy dripping tender meat, but was left with just a pile of pulled pork and some BBQ sauce dumped on top. Not a lot of depth in flavor. I got REALLY excited when I saw Mac n Cheese as an option for a side, but was incredibly disappointed in it. It was watery and SO bland. Kraft Dinner was gourmet in comparison. It might have been the worst mac I've ever tasted, not even black pepper or ketchup could save it for me. My boyfriend got a similar meal but with coleslaw and cornbread on the side as well. Coleslaw he said was so-so, and I tasted the cornbread which was good but 99% sure it's store bought. Overall, probably wouldn't return unless it's to buy just meat.

The perk was ordering 10 mins ahead and they saved our order which got our food earlier, we were very hungry and appreciated the advance notice option. The ambiance is fun and buzzing with people.

For the four of us we ordered a Brisket plate with the rice dun up, the ribs with Mac and cheese & a sandwich lunch combo with fries and a pop. The bark on the brisket was sooo flavourful, it was juicy and still had some fat on it which kept it moist. The ribs were fantastic as well, we thought the rice was our favourite and the Mac and cheese was great too! Fries were tasty and crispy, honestly everything was fantastic. I wish it was priced a little lower but I've paid more for food that wasn't this good. Highly recommend, we can't wait to go back!

I've had BBQ in Texas, I've had it at rib fests across the country, and nothing has satisfied my BBQ dreams like Mad Ox did. I was serving someone the brisket and it was so tender, it was falling off my fork. I had to get a spoon to scoop it up for them. It melted in my mouth and hit all the right smoky notes. The absolute crown jewel is the Beef Back Ribs. Served on a massive slab, how can you not feel awed by it? Doused with smoky and slightly spicy BBQ sauce, the tender but meaty bites sent me into a food haze over and over. The meat combo is the way to go, you can try everything. Make sure you get the spicy chicken sausage. It's cheesy inside! You could probably eat the meats and leave satisfied, but the sides are also worth mentioning. Of the bunch, I loved the "Brisket Mac N Cheese". It's not Mac in a skillet, but the cheesy sauce is infused with flavors. The "Street Corn" and "Truffle Fries" are also elevated versions of any you've had before. At the end of the day, I was very satisfied with the quality and quantity of the food I was paying for. It's not cheap, but I really felt like I was eating food that was crafted by a master chef. But you also never get the sense from the servers that it's a hoity toity place. The restaurant has a smooth, understated elegance. It's a fancy place but not pretentious at all. It's a place that simultaneously feels like home and fine dining. That's what soul food is all about, and if I'm crazy to say this is the best soul food I've ever had, then that must be why they call it Mad Ox no?

At the table, they provide a QR code to access their menu. At first, I thought this did not work, but realized it was a link directly to a PDF which is downloaded. We decided to order the Backyard BBQ platter for us to share. This platter consists of 2 sauces, several picked items, and a choice of three meats. We choose the following: 1 lb Beef Brisket 1 lb Beef Back Ribs 1/2 lb Brazilian Tri Tip Being a platter, one would expect a couple side dishes to be included like they include with their plates, however this is not the case. So, we had to order waffle first and coleslaw in addition to the platter. The portions of food for the platter seem large on when listed on the menu, however they are much smaller than expected. As for the food, the brisket and the tri tip were very dry and lacked a lot of taste. It's odd because slow smoked meats should be moist, smokey and the dry rub should permeate the meat, disappointedly the brisket was not. The only standout of the entire meal were the back ribs. The ribs were full of flavour and fall of the bone tender. The waffle fries and coleslaw were just OK, and again I expected larger portions of both. Service, however, was very good and our server explained some of the options. So, our experience and food quality were much better during our first visit when ordered takeout, although we did order different things. Nevertheless, I am very disappointed in our last visit because most of the meat dishes were dry and lacked that BBQ flavour, the portions were smaller than expected, and we had to order side dishes in addition the platter.
