Watermelon mojito
Denise P.

Possibly tasted the best friend chicken salad I've ever had. Cocktail was okay. Our server was pleasant but they were pretty understaffed so service was not as prompt as we'd liked (we were there end of Summer during rib fest so the city was packed). Still thinking about the chicken salad from time to time

FOLLOW @roastdreviews on INSTAGRAM FOR MORE! RESTAURANT: The Coop Wicked Chicken WHAT I ORDERED: roasted sweet potato tacos, without barbecue sauce Atmosphere: This restaurant has walls covered in graffiti, and blares 90s-style music. Not my personal taste, but interesting to see. Taste: these tacos are some of the best I've ever had. The tortillas are small but doughy, and the filling doesn't come close to needing barbecue sauce to make it taste good. Service: the service I experienced at this restaurant was atrocious. I was half-ignored and half barely-acknowledged. My server didn't stop moving or make eye contact when dropping off my drink. However, I have read other reviews that rave about the service here, so it may have just been an off day. Bang for buck: $10.99 for the two tacos. It is pricey for the size, but the meal was filling, so it isn't a bad deal. Extra perks: vegetarian options available.

I had lunch today at Coop Wicked Chicken, which opened last summer. On their website, they describe themselves ... where punk-rock meets rustic henhouse and where the food is always #tastyascluck. That sounds about right. You are warned as you come in the door about the music. Yes, some songs had swearing and were not suitable for children but it wasn't overly loud. I ordered a crispy chicken sandwich (minus lettuce and onions) and a side of fresh cut fries. The fries were good ... crispy and not greasy. The sandwich was really good. The bun was soft and warm and the inside was toasted/grilled with butter. The batter on the sandwich wasn't overpowering and it had a nice bit to it. The chicken inside was real (not processed). You can choose your own combination of pop flavours It's definitely a lively colourful spot. It was fun checking out the washroom. The ladies' had wallpaper with strawberries and apparently the men's has wallpaper with hot dogs. At the cash, there is a basket of pins and stickers. Richard was my server and he was great ... fun and friendly. I'd go back!

It was okay. Waiter took a long time to give us menus and to serve. The actual chicken sandwich was really well battered. Seasoning was great. Although at the price they are charging, you would normally expect a side of fries included. Instead I got the onion petals which were great. Sauce was a bit rancid. Sauce mayo based and without the fired breading you can taste that its been oxidized. Maybe like 2 weeks old? Based on time working in the sauce industry. I also ordered breakfast huevos rancheros from the brunch menu. The avocado was not ripe. And the assorted veggies were not seasoned at all. Even the pulled chicken bits were not very seasoned. The dish needs a sauce element to tie the things together. Also, maybe its just my opinion but the plate was mostly cold. It would of been better if everything was then placed onto a hot pan to unify the ingredients. No acid in the dish, no salt or seasonings was a big letdown compared to the fried chicken. Overall it wasn't very good. Tldr: get the fried chicken, its good. Sauce may or may not be rancid. Disappointed brunch dishes. Price is a bit steep, medium value. Waiter was slow.

The best fried chicken sandwich I've had in the city. It was so deliciously spicy, and crunchy. The portions are surprisingly huge and so filling, just a sandwich and a side was so filling. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that likes fried chicken

The chicken here is definitely tasty and moist. I just don't think the price is great. I feel like you should get more for what you are paying for. The chicken sandwich is on the smaller side. The sides are not very proportional. The location is bad for parking.

I've been hearing so many great things about this establishment from my friends that we had to…read morefinally make our way up here to partake in what I've been told are some absolutely amazing rolls. Well I'm happy to say that I was not deceived, these were fresh and of good size ( we got the sampler). I was most impressed by Connecticut roll and the Fire roll, the New England wasnt bad just didnt hit as hard as that buttery or spicy taste. The kids tenders and tots, the little yelper crushed those and left super happy. The only meh thing for me was the clam chowder, I love a thick chowder and the misses loved this one because it wasn't. We agreed to disagree on this. But absolutely great experience overall and we are looking forward to visiting the new Lewiston spot next.

I don't know why we never came last year but we finally tried it and will definitely be back…read more Prices are high but comparable to anyone else that serves lobster rolls. My son enjoyed his Connecticut roll. I had the California lobster roll with avocado and wasabi crema. So good. They come with house made chips seasoned with Old Bay. Very good. Not greasy. Next time I want to try the lobster tots. They have a cooler with soda, beer, and wine minis, as well as a slushy machine. Service is fast and friendly. Lots of outdoor seating. The location at Olcott Beach is great. It's right by a small ferris wheel, and in walking distance to the shops, beach, carousel park, and Krull Park. A great addition to the town.

As a long time Yelper and connoisseur of great food, I highly recommend this place. My favourites sandwiches : Figaro & David Guaranteeing you will go back after the first experience.

I love the name of this Oakville establishment, the Sandwich Society, however I did not like their…read moresandwiches quite as much. Let me preface by saying that their OG The David sandwiches are not bad. The focaccia bread was nice, and the sauce is solid where they didn't overdo the truffle flavours. What they however overdid was the prosciutto. Sometimes in life, less is more. They just went 'ham' with layers upon layers of what tasted like the cheap San Daniele prosciutto (according to the website they used ones produced by local Niagara farmers), where in parts of the sandwich that didn't have the mozzarella cheese, the sandwich was inedible because it was so salty. By eating the entire sandwich, I would have exceeded the entire week's sodium intake. By the end, I had to throw a quarter of the sandwich out since it was so heavy and salty. Had they invested in higher quality prosciutto and included just two or three layers of it, it would have been a pretty good sandwich. I remember, outside the restaurant they said something along the lines of if someone ate a sandwich from Sandwich Society, he/she would not regret it like their EXs. But after having one, I experienced a certain degree of buyer's remorse. Remember, "we don't eat sandwiches because we are hungry. We eat sandwiches because we are members of a Foodie app called Yelp."

After Badiali, this is another hype that is 200% real in Toronto…read more Alfie has drawn enormous buzz, online and off, since last year. The focus is Tuscan-style sandwiches on sourdough flatbread, built with fresh ingredients straight from Naples, and you can absolutely taste Naples in every bite. For Italian sandwiches, it is one of the best in the city, if not the very best. I've visited twice, once earlier this year and once today. The first time I had the Torino ($21), and today the Chicken Milano ($21). Torino Prosciutto di Parma, stracciatella, truffle cream, spicy eggplant, baby arugula. This was my favourite of the two. The stracciatella and truffle cream were generously spread, and the sandwich is massive and hearty. Don't let the size fool you, though: the flavours have the finesse of a fine-dining plate. It was nutty, umami, creamy, with hints of spice and sweetness, the truffle dancing over the salty, buttery, velvety prosciutto, which was cured to perfection. Everything fused into the pillowy, tender sourdough flatbread. I honestly don't know how a sandwich could get better. Chicken Milano Smoked chicken breast, lemon basil pesto, stracciatella, tomato, fried onion, arugula, chili oil. Also amazing. The smoked chicken was tender, never overpowering or too salty, and kept its succulent flavour, which seems to be how Alfie treats all its proteins. The pesto melted into the arugula, adding tang and a slight bitterness, balanced by the spice and umami of the chili oil and tomato. My favourite part was the crispy onion: a wonderful, fun texture. The one flaw was that the chili oil became slightly too spicy by the end for me. I took the rest home, drizzled it with honey, and it was the best thing ever. What makes Alfie special is that you keep thinking about it after a single visit. The flavours linger like a ghostly residue, etched in your memory, and you can't wait to return. Next time, I'm going for the Mona Lisa. The price is on the high side, about $25 after tax and tip for a sandwich, but think of it as two meals and it feels far more reasonable. The wait is always long (it's very busy - the market is small and only allows takeaway), but you usually don't have to queue to order, unlike at Badiali. My tip: order first, grab a coffee or ice cream at a nearby spot, then come back to pick up your sandwich.

Been wanting to try this place for a long time. Finally I was able to convince my boyfriend to come…read moredowntown just for this. We ordered the Mona Lisa and roast beef one. I would say I enjoyed the Mona Lisa one better than the roast beef. But both were really tasty. Half of it was enough to get me full, it was huge. I will definitely be back!
