Chick-N-Joy

Went by on their 45th anniversary to try their special Chicken on a Kaiser. It was a really big sandwich and absolutely delicious! I really wish they were able to keep this on their regular menu. While I found the chicken meat slightly dry, the fresh tomatoes & onions sauce and crispy skin brought it all together really nicely. I also got 2 piece with fries, a medium gravy and coleslaw salad. The chicken was amazing - probably the best fried chicken I've had in the city! The batter/breading that coats the chicken skin is delicious - really well seasoned, crispy and almost melts in your mouth. Their gravy is unique and really enhances the fries & chicken experience. And the coleslaw really hit the spot on a hot day! The customer service was excellent. The lady at the counter couldn't have been more helpful. They were obviously swamped with order throughout the day, but she was friendly, kind & professional. Definitely going back again soon!

Had the 2 Piece Lunch Special 12.95 with included can of pop. Actually got 3 pieces, Leg, Wing & Rib. Also Chicken Gravy on the side. Chicken was cooked perfect and looked like chicken unlike that greasy soggy crap served at KFC. There is no comparison I stopped eating that shit years ago when the quality control stopped. The fries & chicken gravy topped off a tasty meal. Very good prices, very good food. I would recommend this place. As for service, no complaints either. I am a returning customer whenever I'm in Toronto.

This is the best fried chicken place ever!!! French fries with yellow chicken gravy can't be beat, there is no other french fries and gravy that comes even close to these fries and gravy. Chicken is fried perfectly, and you get big pieces. Like huge pieces. The crispy chicken skin is sooo good. I've been going here since 1982 when I was a child at Duke of Connaught school, all us kids went here for lunch and created a big line at the counter and out the restaurant. It's still amazing all these years. You have to try this fried chicken with the fries and yellow chicken gravy. /Chefskiss

Ignore the haters. This is the best fried chicken in the city. Dimitra & Bill are no more quirky or rude than any of us. When you deal with the general public and dumb questions sometimes it takes a toll on your patience. I don’t know where their Dad got the recipe or method of making the chicken, but hands down it’s cooked perfect to order in pressure cookers. The flavour is unbelievable ! The fries are hand cut and Bill loads them up in your take out box. We love all the side salads but usually go with the classic coleslaw. The Neon chicken gravy is an either you love it or not. We love it. The tangy tomato hot sauce is interesting. It’s not spicy though. Get the 9 piece special. It’s the best deal. They are open Wednesday to Saturday, pro tip: go for lunch hours when they first open so you aren’t disappointed that they sold out. Cash only. Lunch special for a 2 piece with homemade fries & a pop is 9.75. Edit : For the review below that asks why they aren’t on the website for chick n joy. The answer is they aren’t affiliated with the Franchise. It’s a Mom & Pop stand alone location since 1977. It’s a privately run family business. NOTHING TO DO with that horrible chain.

This spot is a neighbourhood gem. Great food, excellent value, friendly service. Ordered a 12 piece with fries, gravy, and mac salad for our team of 4 and everyone raved about it!

Best fried chicken. I will drive 4 hours to get this. I don't know how it's not the busiest place in the city with their yellow gravy and perfect chicken. Fresh cut fries. Homemade coleslaw. My dad used to get this for me when I was a kid and now I get it for my kids.

Feels great to go into an independently run spot these days and not somewhere corporate. Great chicken. Fries kind of need the gravy but it’s not expensive so splurge on the gravy. If you get a 3 piece with fries instead of a two piece, you get more fries (so get a bigger gravy).

Iam 52 now when I was twelve, I used to go there all the time with my friends dean Melissa Durwin. It was so cool. Love the gravy and the coleslaw.
