Just as tasty and juicy as the one out at Sherway Garden at the west end. The flavour is good and not too dry. One thing that I do suggest and prefer is to modify the dipping sauce consistency so that it can be a little thicker. This is by far still my favourite chicken place in town. Very relaxing and lovely ambiance and friendly service. Will be back! read more

I don't know how this place doesn't have 100% five stars. The OG is hands down the best fried chicken sandwich I've ever had, and this is coming from a bona fide ice tea drinking southerner. Their service is great, always friendly and accommodating to travelers who have luggage/coats. It's in a convenient location in union station. They're available to order delivery or pick up through Uber eats. read more

Union Chicken, it was good, it wasn't anything special though. I had the spicy chicken plate - whatever its called - With a poutine. It was good, the chicken was spicy and crispy, the gravy on the poutine different but nice. They were however a little light on the cheese curds. There was nothing bad about union chicken, it just wasn't amazing . Would I recommend? Sure if you REALLY want fried chicken. Will I be back? I'm going to say no, but crazier things have happened. Union Chicken. It was good, but not anything special...especially for the price. read more

Went here with a small group - this place is really less than meets the eye TLDR: This place is not worth it and you are better off going to Popeyes, maybe even KFC. Loud music (kind of difficult to have a coversation) and it is pretty packed. Avoid the Biscuits if you go there, the Poutine is decent but not worth the price, the OG Chicken is not great either. here is what we ordered: Poutine: The poutine was just a regular poutine that you would get anywhere else - fries, cheesecurds, (chicken) gravy and they also added chives. Apparently that makes it worth $10 for a small plate. It was balanced in that it was not too salty, but definitely not worth the money Biscuits: The cheese biscuits were $4 for 2. Considering all you need to make biscuits is flour (and I guess, cheese), it was pretty expensive. We got it fresh out of the oven and they came with some very salty sauce that is not worth bothering with unless you're looking to get a kidney stone tonight. When I bit into my first biscuit I immediately understood why it was $4. They must have used $4 worth of salt to make it, possibly more if they were feeling generous. The biscuits were so unbelievably salty that I could not even finish it. It is a must-avoid OG Chicken: The OG Chicken was recommended by the waiter friendly waiter we had. It was pretty disappointing considering it was something like 2 small thighs (not including the drumstick) for $14. I don't know if its just me, but I'm not really into half-cooked clumps of flour and chicken skin (think boiled chicken skin) with my fried chicken. It was really gross and not worth it at all. read more

I went there for weekday lunch with another 3 friends. We made reservation but there were actually plenties of seats inside when we get there. However the food took quite a bit time to get to the table which is not really convenient for lunch. I ordered the spit fired rotisserie chicken with coleslaw as the side. The chicken is surprisingly good as the chicken was not grilled too dry. The gravy and coleslaw are pretty good to go with the chicken as well. My friends all got sandwich instead (friend chicken sandwich and jerk chicken sandwich). The sandwiches are reported good but it was a bit too spicy for my friend. I think the food and service are quite ok. Given the location (inside union station), I probably will go back again in the future to try other things. read more

Came with a friend for a quick bite & a few drinks after work. It's so conveniently located (literally right in Union Station), that I wasn't expecting the nice atmosphere once you go in. It's newer, clean, and nicely decorated - easy to forget you're in the middle of the busiest station in Toronto. Food - the fried chicken sandwich (& fries) are delicious. Also got a salad (spinach, quinoa, chickpeas, onion) - which was good but lacking toppings. It was mostly just spinach. Happy hour specials on bar rail were also pretty awesome (G&T's for somewhere around $6 if I remember correctly). It did take a little while to flag down our server to get the bill (it was starting to get busy during the second half of our meal) - but we will definitely be back! I'd recommend you go! read more

Union chicken is located inside the union train station. The fried chicken was crispy and delicious. I ordered the O.G. Chicken sandwich and my friend ordered the O.G chicken platter. My sandwich was $18 but also huge and filling. It came with fries or you can sub out another side. I got the pasta salad, which was pretty bland. For some reason the platter did not come with any sides included. Our waitress was very prompt and friendly, and our food came out relatively fast. I'm not sure the prices match to the food, but it's in a train station, so if you're looking for a sit down rather than the food court it's not a bad option. read more

Every time I walk by on my way to the go train after work I bask in the beautiful scent of fried chicken. Finally I decided to give the place a go and I was not disappointed. I got the lightning hot chicken and it was SPICY, but I love putting my tastebuds through the gates of hell. It was garnished with sweet pickles on a nice white toast. The size of the chicken was very generous, I thought I was going to combust after the first few bites (and I'm a solid eater). I took my time on the chicken plate and even with taking my time the chicken stayed hot (temperature wise). All in all, it was a really good fried chicken experience. I don't know if their chickens are free ranged or hand plucked but it is a little pricey but whatever worth it. I think you can skip on the coleslaw, it's not crazy special. But it you love potatoes get the fries! They're salty and cut thick. I love them. The piri piri sauce is also nice and spicy. Also, if you plan on eating make a reso and don't be mad if you walked in and have to wait because it is pretty busy in the evening. All in all, really good comfort food and I would highly recommend. read more

Have only been here for lunch pick-up. The lightning hot sandwich is the hot-sauced version of the OG sandwich and at times has been too liberal with the hot sauce. I switched to the OG and found that much more palatable. The gravy + sauces that come with the chicken add great flavour. The side coleslaw is amazing with the chicken. Usually is a 10-15 minute wait during lunch for pick-up. read more

Grabbed some great food for take out. Very tasty! The order was ready fast even though the place was crowded and busy. Friendly staff!

Absolutely disgusting!! Mushed, probably non-cooked, thin slice of dough with weird coloured chicken. Why? Because I was sick all day right after. Do not eat the chicken sandwich here. They've closed Google Reviews I see as you can't post because they want their fake reviews on there to stay. AVOID! read more

The chicken and waffles were really good. The chicken pot pie has great flavor but it was really small for $20 and the pastry top was not flaky and extremely hard. read more

I love this place! This is a go-to delivery for my partner and I when we fancy something decadent. The chicken is absolutely delicious. I often get a single piece for dinner. It comes with a bit of white bread and lots of super tasty pickles. I know that doesn't sound like a ton of food, but it honestly hits the spot. I also appreciate that their take-out arrives in recyclable packaging. would recommend this place to anyone who fancies a real treat! read more

I came here for dinner and was surprised not to see more people than there were. This place is underneath union station so it may not have as much foot traffic as it needs to attract the larger crowds. I ordered the chicken sandwich which I was told is the most popular item on the menu. It was tasty. Chicken was nice and crisp and there was a nice combination of flavours. I also ordered the biscuits as a side but felt they weren't really flakey enough on the outside nor fluffy enough on the inside. But hey, it's not called "union biscuit" I liked the interior a lot and thought the combination of bar and table space would be great for a party. Hope I can go again soon. read more

I am a fan of fried chicken and this place does really good fried chicken. For the OG Fried Chicken, the gravy taste like KFC gravy for me. For the Rotisserie chicken, the gravy taste like swiss chalet. Would totally recommend. read more

I came here for a quick snack for me but a lunch for my friends. As a vegan, my options were limited but that's what you'd expect from a place with "chicken" in their name and I was okay with that! I ordered a side of fries with no mayo and my friends ordered the Truck Stop Poutine, coffee, and the Dulce De Leche Cheesecake. The prices were actually pretty good for the portion and quality that you receive. The fries were $5 but the portion was surprisingly large. The fries were also very crispy and well seasoned. The container it came in was so full that it was hard to eat at first because the fries kept falling off the side. I had to take mine in a to go container in the end. My friends enjoyed the Truck Stop Poutine and said that the pulled chicken was amazing. They said the same about the coffee and the Dulce De Leche Cheesecake. The cheesecake came in a mason jar but my friend said it was really good, regardless. The cheesecake seemed like a small amount but the mason jar was pretty deep so it was actually a fairly large portion. The service was also great. The food came really quickly and our host was always quick to refill our water. He was very kind even though we did not order much. Parking can be a hassle because it's located within Union Station. However, transit is a great option because of this, and I actually took the PATH all the way from Dundas to get there. read more

Sunday is chicken and waffle day, I would highly recommend! The chicken is juicy and crispy on the outside. The waffle is seasoned well and the syrup on top is just.... just heaven. The hot sauces on the side are similar to Portuguese chicken sauces.. Love them! I rarely say this but the food portions were perfect, it is quite filling! Beer selection is nice and the service was great. read more

Union Chicken's gone downhill :(. I come here about once a month and loved it since it opened. Since the New Year I've been here twice and the quality is noticeably lower: - Fries aren't as good as they used to be - Chicken overcooked Salad still great though. read more

Fried chicken with the sweet Spicey gravy was amazing! My husband and I split the fried chicken plate (4 boneless thighs) and an order of traditional poutine. Service was great, food came out quickly and decent beer selection. It was a bit loud (as others have stated) but only due to one group laughing and having a good time. read more

The fried chicken looked great but no flavour at all, it tasted like it was battered in flour and water with zero seasonings. Two pieces of dark meat with a coke came to $22.54. Even if it was the best chicken in the world that is really pricey but I didn't enjoy it at all. Comes with standard hot sauce (tastes like Frank's red hot), gravy (not bad) and maple syrup which I didn't try. Will not go back. read more

Hands down I think this is one of the better fried chicken places in the city. My go to is always the original chicken sandwich. Ambiance is okay. If the place is busy, you can barely hear the person you're sitting next to. The acoustics are horrible. My trick - get the sandwich and fries to go (one fries will suffice for 2 people easily) and sit in the newly opened food court. You'll get your food much faster and you'll be able to hear whoever you're having lunch with. read more

QUICK AF! we ordered and literally 2 mins later our food was out. If you go on their site and sign up you get free guac and chips Honestly it was good - I'm a fan of spicy Portuguese chicken so it wasn't like that but it wasn't bad. Service was amazing, we went on a game night and they were constantly checking on us and helping out. Wouldn't go again per se, but don't regret Cheap tho - 1 large portion chicken, 1 alc 1 soda, 1 extra fries for 50 including tip read more

Union chicken is a great addition to union station. Lots of seating and good service. I tried the OG fried chicken and the potato salad. The OG chicken was juicy and crispy but I felt it lacked flavour. Potato salad was good but a bit too much mayo. Overall I enjoyed the meal. read more

Came here on a weekday night, and it was relatively quiet, with only a few other parties in the restaurant. We were seated quickly, in the dimly lit, colourful space. Despite what other reviews have said, the music wasn't too loud, and I was able to hold a comfortable conversation with my friend. It's a cozy little restaurant that quickly transports you to a much more intimate space, despite being in the middle of Union station. We both ordered the truck stop sandwich, which is a super tasty version of a hot turkey. It's based with a piece of bread, loaded with a mound of chunky shredded chicken, and covered with peas and peppercorn gravy. It comes in a skillet like dish and is intended to be eaten with cutlery. The bread was soft, but didn't melt, the chicken not overly shredded so it still felt like you were eating real chicken, the peas were a nice bite, and the gravy was DELICIOUS (I love gravy, and this was one of the better ones being not too salty with actual peppercorn taste). We made the mistake of ordering fries (which were tasty with a side of piri piri mayo), which were wholly unnecessary because of how large the sandwiches were. Service was super friendly, and very warm. Our server was kind but unmemorable, but Luke (who either does a little bit of everything, or is the GM of the place) was really nice and incredibly personable. I will definitely be back for more of their truck stoop sandwiches (and eventually to try the friend chicken)!! read more

After hearing so much about Union Chicken, my friend and I decided to give this place a shot. Located in Union Station, (Via Rail side) the restaurant was already jam packed before 6pm with locals. We luckily made reservations and were seated immediately. Food 3/5 We ordered the spit fired quarter chicken breast with a side of potato salad, O.G. plate of fried chicken, and guac and chips (free coupon online). The food came fairly quickly but was borderline cold, lukewarm at best. We decided to eat and not make a fuss because we were hungry and had a train to catch later. Guac and chips were nothing special, but was free so no real complaints here. However if you were to pay for it I'd pass on this as the guac was bland and in need of seasoning. Spit fired chicken was very tender and moist. Chicken was great on its own but tasted even better with the bottled Carolina dip (bbq) and Piri Piri (hot sauce) that was provided. The Carolina had a subtle sweet and smokey flavour which was a good contrast compared to the Piri Piri which had a hint of spice. Potato salad was nothing special in my opinion and was also bland in my opinion with the exception of the smoked paprika that was sprinkled on top. My favourite of the night was definitely the O.G. fried plate that came with 4-5 pieces of fried chicken on a bed of maple-honey syrup, UC ranch, banana peppers and pickle. As I said before the dishes were lukewarm but the fried chicken was still crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The chicken was the older brother of Popeyes as it wasn't as greasy and you don't feel sick after eating too much. The sauces on the bottom were okay in my opinion but perhaps would've been better if served on the side. Service 2/5 Nothing special about the service here. Didn't expect stellar service as it was a busy night but I still didn't expect the server to roll her eyes when we didn't order any drinks. She came around a few times during the night but never cleared any of our dishes despite the fact that the table was overloaded. Overall I would be open to coming back but won't be at the top of my list. The place would get a better review if the food was served hot and perhaps if we weren't packed into the restaurant like sardines. read more

The lightening hot chicken sandwich lives up to its name! Definitely more spicy than I thought it would be which is always exciting. The cornbread was good but I think it needed a bigger kick from the jalapeños that you just didn't get. You can tell the chicken wings are free range and it makes them extra yummy! Can't wait to come back to try more. read more

Came here for lunch and was presently surprised. The chicken burger could have been made fresh to order. I asked for this to be done since you could see it's been sitting out for a while. They said no. The habenaro hot sauce was great, chicken was pretty good. Service needs work. Might give it a try again, but probably won't go out of my way to come here. read more

I've had their fried chicken twice now and both times the chicken was too dry. It's supposed to be crisp and juicy, not dry and burnt. Will not go back. read more

Awful food. Place does not care at all. We ordered a quarter chicken breast and fries. The chicken was so dry and the fries were rock hard. We complained and received a voucher, from which we ordered a fried chicken sandwich and rotisserie sweet potato. The Bottom bun on the sandwich was SOAKING wet and mushy. The potato had a ton of sour cream dumped on it before even being delivered, so gross. Why would you not just include on the side. Chicken inside was OK but not great. Fatty bits and the coating didn't stay intact. Two horrible orders, they don't care. Don't order delivery, go to Nandos! See pics for soaked bun and the sweet potato. What a waste read more

This is more of a 3.5/5. Came here for lunch today and I got the OG chicken plate. My god the chicken was juicy. It was also perfectly crispy and fried without being too oily. I also ordered a side of coleslaw. Meh is the only word to describe it. Overall, the chicken was quite good but I'm docking 1.5 stars for the subpar coleslaw and slow service. read more

The best fried chicken sandwich in Toronto. Just eat it already and see what you have been missing in your life. The place can get pretty slammed during peak hours at Union station, but takeout is always an option also. I'm giving the 5 based solely on the fact that their sandwich is ridiculously good. read more

If you know me, you know I love fried chicken. Went with a couple friends. We got the whole Korean fried chicken with fries and Brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious, the chicken is on he spicy side but nothing too over powering. As someone who does not ever like Brussel sprouts, I loved these. They were roasted with some seasoning and super flavourful. I've been here for drinks before but this was my first time eating. It was great! read more

The fried chicken tho!!!! Definitely worth the hype. My coworkers came here without me and my friend was raving about this place so I had to come and give it a try myself. I shared the fried & my date and I ordered the coleslaw, brussel sprouts and baked sweet potato to share. The chicken was sooo amazing! It was breaded, drizzled with honey and sauce with a kick of spice. The coleslaw & baked sweet potatoes were a standard but the brussel sprouts were made really well. I would definitely recommend coming here before a game or on the way home. I came here on a Sunday night, with no game going on so it was easy to find a spot, but it does get really really busy here. They have great service where the food comes out really quick and the servers are very attentive. If you are looking for some take out or jus a new place to eat, you won't be disappointed by this place! read more

1.5 I was extremely disappointed by my experience at Union Chicken and cannot wholeheartedly give them a pleasant review despite their food being actually a-ok. I came for a late lunch at 1 and was immediately seated. Server were generally inattentive and took a while to come by with water and take our orders (restaurant was half empty and well staffed). Being unfamiliar with the menu, my friend and I wanted to try 2 proteins first and see how much food it'd be before ordering sides. The waitress questioned our choice and came off quite rude, seeming we couldn't afford sides with our chicken (their protein is already priced above a full meal's value). We ended up getting a quarter dark meat, an OJ fried chicken plate and a fries to share. Food was ok, the rotisserie chicken was juicy and tender. The rub was special and went well with the gravy, but its a dinky drumstick + thigh (think Swiss Chalet on a bad day), so I don't know if its even worth half of that $8.5. Likewise for the fried chicken, the amount you got for value is horrible. RIP OFF. The crunch was ok, hot sauce numbs your tongue and not pleasant to eat. Chicken was juicy but all in all, nothing special about it. It wasn't horrible food, but nothing to write home about except the outrageous prices. read more

Went to Union Summer Foods and felt like something deep fried. Union Chicken was the answer. I had their OG Fried Chicken Sandwich and their chunky fries. The piece of chicken looked huge on the (smallish) bun but in reality was mostly crispy coating. The amount of actual chicken (thigh) was quite small considering the price of the sandwich. Toppings and garnishes though did add to a good overall experience. Otoh the fries were perfectly done and frankly the star of the meal. Service friendly. read more

I saw this place on a blogTO list for "Best Fried Chicken in Toronto" so I gave it a try. The chicken itself is okay but there are way better options around town. I was in the mood for spicy fried chicken, so I got the Lightning Hot Chicken. While the composition, quality and taste of the chicken was decent, it was just drenched in habanero hot sauce, so it was nearly inedible. It didn't have any balance between hot and sweet, even when I put maple syrup on it. The habanero overpowered every flavour. With a pint, fries (which are really good) and tip, the bill came to roughly 40$. IMO, that was way overpriced for the quality of the meal. Perhaps I will try again one day, but I will definitely not go out of my way to go there. read more

Stopped by here before getting on the VIA the other day. (No offense VIA, but I like your food selections NOT) Union station didn't used to have any decent food so I was happy to see a fried chicken joint opening. I got the chicken sandwich "special". It's jerk sauce, pineapple slaw, spicy this week. They change it up every week or month to keep it interesting. Oh and ofcourse a pint of beer pairing to go with it. The beer came right away, but i was left hungry waiting for my sandwich for atleast 20-25 min. I was getting antsy and looking around to flag someone down... i had some extra time to kill but i was cutting close trying to catch my train. Why not 1 star you ask? Because before I flagged anyone down, my waiter came over and apologizes for all of this. My food came fast, piping hot. And apparantly his coworker actually mentioned it after seeing me sitting there a few min ago. Moral of it all? Yea, we all mess up, but i want to give credit for my waiter owning up and making up for it. Oh and the free meal was also a bonus! Was the sandwich the best sandwich ever? No. But it was definitely more delicious than other alternatives in the area in a jiffy. Will I come again and recommend it to my friends? You bet! Because the service here is also top notch. Union chicken, you have it going on. read more

Really good, I thought I was just going in just for a quick bite to eat while I was waiting for the train but I was very impressed! I got the OG chicken, it's crispy with syrup ,the portion is pretty big too so be prepared to be full after. I also ordered the coleslaw but I didn't like it so I don't recommend the coleslaw but everything else was good. For desert I got the sweat potatoe pie with the marshmallow top it was really good!! read more

Imagine marginally better Swiss Chalet chicken for twice the price!! MMMMMmmm GOODY!! Double leg chicken with no sides for $15, then add a side for another $6! Ok I have to admit its fairly good, but come on! Service was fine, and the restaurant is fine also. I just have an issue with the value. D read more

I went because someone actually gave me a $10 off coupon! But if I had to pay regular price I probably wouldn't, and here's why: 1. Chicken and sides: I had heard people's complaints about the fried chicken, especially about the sides which you have to pay $6 for, so we opted for the family style feast: a whole chicken with 4 sides. This is pretty big and would be good for two adults with leftovers to spare. The chicken itself is really good, and I know why people complained about the price, but seeing that the chicken IS organic and free range, you can't expect the same price as Swiss Chalet. So the chicken was good! And the peri-peri sauce went amazing with it! And so did the fries! Although the potato salad was a criminally small amount (especially if they say it's worth $6 on the main menu) and the coleslaw to me was just meh. To be honest, my friend loved it but I've had much better coleslaw at fish and chips for cheaper so... 2. The dessert was an absolute disappointment. It was $12 for a "bruleed banana sundae" but what we got was a hard, unripe banana, halftorched and half not, in a pool of half melted ice cream. We would have been better off going to the McDonalds around the corner for ice cream! Anyway, long story short the rotisserie chicken, fries and sauce were really good! Everything else, not so much read more
