The skin falls straight off. You're ruining the reputation of the brand when you can't even shake the excessive grease off the chicken when it's in the basket. From someone who worked in restaurants for 30 years-FAIL on easy fried chicken. Fried chicken needs to be shaken in the basket to get all the oil off the skin. Honestly, another franchise bought out by foreign immigrants and ruined forever.

I decided to go through the drive thru, at tge speaker they asked me to come inside. I parked and went inside. When it was my turn in line to order, the staff member just looks at me, no welcome, greeting or what can I get for you. They were having a promo 2/$5 snacker wraps. I asked for two spicy, then to be told they had non, I inquired about the other variants and they had absolutely non. Really... on a Friday evening you're out of a promo item. This is not the first time I arrived at this location where they didn't have a food item I was looking for. Such a disappointment with abysmal customer service and no food.

As for the pizza, it was really good, all toppings were plentiful and the sauce was not overly spicy which was good considering I was feeding it to my elderly momma. The crust was a decent thickness. The only thing I would say needs a bit of work was the side order of mozzarella sticks, they seemed previously frozen then heated up, no cheese pull as my daughter lamented, so all in all, pretty good meal.

The Short Version: African and Caribbean grocery store that…read morealso sells hot food for takeout. Food was tasty. The Long Version: I love supporting new small independently-owned business, so late last year (2025) when I drove along Robertson Rd I noticed something new out of the corner of my eye and I made a note to do some online research when I got home. They had limited online presence, but I discovered that it was a grocery store that sold African and Caribbean goods. I was hoping they sold some prepared foods and learned that at the time they only had beef patties but were planning on expanding the menu. I kept that in the back of my mind. I'm not in Bells Corners much anymore, but recently I was and decided to stop by KFresh to check out their takeout offerings. I actually stopped by a few months ago but they were unexpectedly closed, so I was happy they were open on my second trip. I got the Nigerian Jollof Rice Meal with Grilled Chicken ($20). There was a slight wait, but it was a reasonable amount of time. The meal came with plantains and coleslaw, as well as a chicken leg and thigh and a generous portion of Jollof rice. The plantains were so delicious. They were soft and sweet and freshly fried. The chicken was full of flavour and moist. The rice had good flavour too and a bit of heat, although it was a tad too oily for my preferences. I also would have enjoyed a bit spicier. The coleslaw was creamy, a bit too creamy for my tastes. Overall though, it was a good meal that I enjoyed and would eat again. While I was there, I snapped some photos of the inside of the store and as I was browsing while waiting for my meal I noticed some really cool food products that I had never seen at other stores before, so I took some photos to share online. I love promoting small local businesses on social media and most businesses welcome the publicity, so I thought this was innocent enough. The lady, who identified herself as the owner's mom, questioned my intentions regarding the photos. I said I was going to post them online. She asked that I not do that, and cited something about competing stores and competitors sending "spies" to scope out their inventory. I'm not sure I fully understand the reasoning but I will respect the owner's mother's wishes and not post pictures of the inside of the store or their store products. I did see a few signs by the food counter encouraging customers to post a review on Google. So I asked the lady if it was ok to post pictures of the takeout food and she said yes. So dear readers, this review will only have photos of the takeout food. I'm also posting the menu, it is also readily accessible online on UberEats. I had already posted a photo of the exterior of the store after my first visit when the store was closed. Note the prepared foods are takeout only. There is no where to eat inside. I engaged in some lovely dashboard dining and ate the food in my car, lol. The store is in a strip mall. There is free parking available in the strip mall parking lot. Review #142 (2026)

African BBQ House has recently opened up a few new locations and this location in the Bayshore area…read moreis one of them. I had been to the one in Orleans on Tompkins before but it was my first time at this Bayshore location. This Bayshore restaurant is bigger and brighter than the Orleans restaurant and looks much newer/more recently renovated. I got a quarter chicken meal here with jollof rice, fries and salad. I got a leg (drumstick and thigh). The chicken was very flavourful and although cooked on charcoal didn't have that unpleasant burnt smell/taste that charcoal cooked chicken sometimes has. So I was pleased with that. The jollof rice was spicy but a bit clumpy. The fries were wedges and were crispy. I liked that the salad was a mesclun mix with some grated carrots and wasn't iceberg lettuce. I just felt there was way too much creamy dressing. I would have preferred maybe a fifth of the amount of salad dressing, lol. Takeout comes in a plastic box. Yay it's not styrofoam! Cardboard would be better though. Staff were friendly. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with a pawn shop and other restaurants. Free parking available at the strip mall shared parking lot. (21)

African BBQ House Décor- clean, attractive…read more Staff-very friendly. Washroom-auto doors, spacious, clean. Can eat in or order out (pickup or internet) On first visit my wife had the $9.99 Lunch Special - 1/4 BBQ's chicken leg + ample fries, and a bottle of water. Remarked on chicken being tender and tasty as were the fries. I had the Lamb Skewers Plate $25.28 - 2 good sized skewers of lamb, served with jollof rice, chef salad and a choice of fries or plantains-I had the fried plantains along with a bottle of water ($2.38 each) The lamb was very tender and flavourful. The salad was a blend of various greens with sliced tomatoes and a good dressing. The jollof rice had a nice zesty flavouring, and the fried plantains complemented everything else very well. All portions were ample, and I took what we didn't eat took home for supper. Next time I'll try the Goat Platter. Went back for a second lunch accompanied by my son. I had the Goat Skewers Plate ($25.78). Like before with the lamb, received 2 good sized skewers of goat, served with jollof rice, same chef salad and a choice of fries or plantains-ample portions-I again had the fried plantains. Ate half my meal and took the remainder home. My son had the Shrimp Skewers Plate with fried plantains, mixed greens salad, and Jollof rice. Remarked on how pleasantly surprized he was at the quality and quantity. Overall believe the good quality, ample portions, and price Make it a place to return to.

Finally got to try dine-in and confirmed, I had to roll myself home lol. Should've read my previous…read morereview to warn myself. Luckily, I was smart enough to wear stretchy pants. We went for a weekday lunch and they have beef ribs on special every Wednesday. I originally ordered a 6-rib dinner but our server advised that because beef ribs are a lot larger than pork, that a half rack of beef ribs is actually a 3-4 ribs, so I took his advice and got that. Glad I did! They were definitely huge. I asked for no beans, but got the coleslaw, cornbread, and fries, that came with it. While the sides were good, I focused on eating the ribs in-house because they were piping hot and the fries and cornbread could be easily heated later, if needed, without overcooking. The beef ribs take a bit longer, so keep it in mind if you're in a rush. The barbecue sauce had a nice kick to it, not necessarily spicy, but a kick, and also sweet and a bit tangy. The meat wasn't fall-off-the-bone and had some chew, which I didn't mind. Huge portion for sure! There was also a generous portion of fries. I call them Costco fries because most people understand what I'm talking about when I say that's the kind of breading/fry. I loved that cornbread came with the meal and wasn't an additional cost. I just wish it came with a pat of butter or something. If you're looking for a toddler-friendly meal, you can get the Buffalo fingers starter just plain, without it tossed in sauce. There are a ton of different awards, articles, posters, and signs that line the walls, including one that says they're now pouring Broadhead Amber Ale. Service was great, very attentive, fast, and friendly. We came just before the lunch rush, around 11:30-11:45am and there were plenty of tables and it was easy to order and receive our meals in a timely fashion. Family-friendly place as well, though I think they only have a couple of high chairs. Loved that it was laid back and they didn't mind our excitable little dude.

Note: Vera's shares store space with The Butchery. Obviously they get their meat next door; good advertising for each other!! Five stars for being very impressive for this visit! They have shared seating between the counters, and a variety of sauces and spices to choose from, to take home and try out. Already looking forward to my next visit!!
