    The chicken place is great. I had been meaning to go forever and never got around to it. I'm so glad to finally wandered in one Saturday afternoon. Location: It's located in the sunny suburbs of Aurora. On the corner of Wellington and Industrial. There's not a lot around. It's worth the drive. Parking: Well...it's an industrial area in the suburbs so no parking stress. Go ahead and drive! Decor: On the outside its not much to look at. It's not exactly beckoning. It looks like it's a fast food place. It's not a fast food place though. Inside you notice. No tables. There is a bar around the room with bar stools that you can sit at and eat. This is obviously a big take out place. The room reminds me of Cora's with their farmy city look. Food: Omg. Delicious. Portuguese chicken that's cooked on a grill to order. They actually suggested that the next time we come in we should order ahead so it'll be done when we get there. Honestly, we didn't even wait that long. Not longer than any other restaurant. We got the chicken. You can two sides. I got the quarter chicken with chickpea salad and tasted vegetables. The chicken was terrific. Moist and juicy. It was grilled. I have no idea how they did it. The chickpea salad was super. I would definitely recommend it. The vegetables too. They were roasted/ grilled with a bit of char. What a difference the char makes. My dining companion got the half chicken with rice and cucumber tomato salad. He really likes it too. We were there in the middle of the afternoon and it was busy with people coming in and out for take out. It's a very popular place. Price: Very good value for the amount of food you get! Conclusion: Yeah, I gave it 5 stars. I'm going to be back!

    So long Nandos, Hello Chicken place!!! I had all but given up on Portuguese chicken here in the Burbs. Either it was too expensive OR the portions were meager and the chicken was boney. Who would have that my first visit to The Chicken Place after driving past it suspiciously for the past 3-4 years would completely turn my world upside down. It's not an extravagant looking place, just a simply decorated take-away joint with just enough bar stool style seating around the perimeter for those (like me) who know they cannot wait to get home before stuffing their faces. Coming in for a late lunch I knew what I was looking for and ordered it swiftly from the menu: 1/2 Chicken, Parisian Potatoes and a Caesar salad. I will note that the price factor here was at or slightly above what I was used to paying for Portuguese Chicken but as the staff member said "you get what you pay for here, nothing less." A bold statement in my books, many make the claim and few deliver. More on the food in moments... One thing I noticed in the restaurant was the repetition of the statement both on signage in store and by the staff "we are not a fast food, please be patient." I knew something good was cooking here once I read and heard this - who would make such a claim only to serve poor food? Not this place. Totally worth the wait! After approximately 15-20 minutes my chicken, potatoes and salad were ready. The 1/2 chicken was plump and juicy and packed with meat, one of the most moist I've had and not to mention it was covered in a sweet and spicy sauce on the outside - perfectly glazed. More than the generous chicken portion was the portion sizes of the potatoes and salad in my Caesar. The potatoes deserve high marks as well, perfectly cooked on the outside with a slight crisp and almost a mash potato center (that soft!!!). The last thing of high honor for me here was there PeriPeri sauce, clearly made in house and with 3 levels of heat (sweet, medium and Hot - I chose HOT...obviously) there is a delicious sauce for every ones taste. I'm so glad I finally made the trek in here to this conveniently located Aurora take-away shop located at the corner of Industrial Parkway and Wellington Ave. My new fav chicken joint in the burbs - I HIGHLY recommend you try this spot - AMAZEBALLS!! Protip: Due to their prep time to perfection staff encourages you to call ahead and place your order so its ready upon arrival. 21/30

    This place is located in same plaza as Domino's pizza in Aurora. It's a self serve place. Order and grab a seat; staff will let you know when your food is ready. Chicken entree comes with 2 choices for sides. They offer a good variety of side dishes to choose from: rice, potato, chickpea and different salad variety. I would say chicken is above average, nothing to rave about and not bad either. Cod cake was delish for $1.25/piece. Shrimp patty was not very good. Portuguese tart was $2.10 which was not worth it IMO. Lunch specials are same price but come with free drinks. Overall, ok food, friendly staff.

I was craving for the shrimp patties and the only good ones were usually downtown. I found Galina's Bbq via Yelp, so I knew I had to get some to try. I got the whole chicken dinner and I was AMAZED at the portions! For under $50, they legit packed the rice and potatoes to the top! Everything was super tasty but the shrimp patties could had been better if I reheated it in the oven. The chicken was super moist and the potatoes were so delicious. The rice was a bit too salty though. Service was great; the waitress told me her aunt opened this restaurant more than 10 years ago.

We arrived for a late lunch on a Sunday, the dining area was empty so we got to pick of tables. We ordered two appetizers, three entrees and a drink. The meal started out well, with some bread, butter and preserved olives. It was lovely to have something to nibble on while waiting. 30 min later, the appetizer of chirizo sausage arrived. It was set alight table side, and we enjoyed the crispy hot sausage. Unfortunately, it took another 30min for our entrees to arrive. My chicken dinner was not even warm, the veggies were overcooked and cold. The only thing hot on my plate was the potatoes, which were delicious. After such a long wait, it was disappointing to be served cold food. Also, our second appetizer never came and we had to remind the waiter not to bill us for it.

    Fishbone by the Lake is hands down one of the best dining experiences you can find in Stouffville,…read moreand honestly, I would compare it among the top restaurants in the entire York Region and GTA. From the moment you walk in, the combination of good food, warm service, and that beautiful lakeside view sets the tone for a memorable meal. We ordered a variety of dishes, but the standout was definitely the grilled sea bass. It was simply outstanding. Perfectly cooked with a crisp skin and tender flavorful bass. The fish was completely boneless, which was a pleasant surprise. The sauce and garnishes elevated the dish even further, and the presentation was so well done that it looked as good as it tasted. Honestly, it was so addictive that I would come back just for that dish alone! Service here is another reason this place shines. Our server, Christian, deserves a special shout-out. He is friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was excellent from start to finish. It is rare to encounter service that feels genuinely thoughtful, and it made the day even more enjoyable. Yes, Fishbone by the Lake is on the pricier side, but it's absolutely worth it for the quality you can get. From the freshness of the ingredients, to the upscale presentation, and the relaxed lakeside atmosphere, everything comes together to justify the cost. There is also a good amount of free parking conveniently located across the street, which makes visiting stress-free. A few quick tips: reservations are a must. This is a popular spot, and with good reason, so book ahead to avoid disappointment. Weather could throw you a curveball in summer time since the venue is basically outdoor with a nice shade. Between the incredible food, stunning view, and top-notch service, Fishbone by the Lake is a solid 10/10 in my books. Honestly, whether you are celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a place to treat yourself with friends or families, this restaurant will not disappoint. Recommended!

And the prices are so affordable Fresh ingredients and talented cooks are the secret behind the love that clearly goes into the food at Gallo. Their grilled chicken is off the charts.

We have eaten here maybe a dozen times by now. And yes the chicken is amazing. But last night we ordered a paella from Gallo. And to be honest I think it was literally the best paella I ever ate in my life. Definitely the best in Canada hands down. Rivals the ones I have had in Europe. The value for the quality of food is amazing at this place. You can't go wrong and absolutely need to check it out. I will keep going here at least 2-3 times a month. Maybe more You have to check this place out. I am going to use them to cater my next event. They make large trays at unbeatable prices with top quality and taste. Can't go wrong.
