Best Fried Chicken in Town?

Rated as the Best Fried Chicken in the Toronto Life magazine, I go and try it for myself. The only option they have is the fried chicken dinner, which comes with 4 hot juicy pre-marinated fried chicken with dipping sauce, shoe strings fries, and coleslaw. The marinated flour consists of thyme and jerk seasoning, plus buttermilk and brine. I like the seasoning and flavour of the chicken... I just wish there are more pieces!!! The fries are not good but I want to try their buttermilk biscuit next time. I also come back another day to buy their pit-smoked BBQ chicken, which are only on sale 3 days a week. Although the BBQ chicken has a distinct smoky flavour, it is much too dry in texture. I way prefer the fried version anyday. They also offer other meat sandwiches and a line-up is always there any time of the day.


Food: 4/5 (rating based on fried chicken only)
Service: 3/5 (waited quite a bit for the food to come, considering it's a fast-food diner, but service is friendly)
Decor: 2.5/5 (the place is always packed and the dining space is tiny)
Price: Dishes range from $7-$14 each.
