CHICK•N•JOY in North York

If you enjoy eating salty chicken, you should go here

Excellent customer service from Naz, Ja, Raymond I came in for take out 5 mins before closing very friendly service informed me that they were closing soon. Very helpful i definitely recommend coming here. Thank you Naddy

Friendly staff, dining area a little small. Food was fresh and hot, no issues

Why long wait times. 20-30 minutes. Food : 5/5 |

Don t ever eat here, found maggots in my food, unsanitary and disgusting! Wouldn t recommend. Wheelchair accessibility: George was unable to reach the door and they insulted him. He cried at home, your employees should be ashamed of themselves.

Best fried chicken restaurant ive ever been by far. Excellent service, really fast service, and best of all the portions are in great quantity and the quality of the chicken is juicy and fresh. Im definitely coming back.

Long wait time.

Fun little place with good chicken

LONG time customer from the Pickering and Morningside location. Ordered 6 specials today, when I got home, there was only 5. 1 had 2 drumsticks. Charged $38 for $32.

The new go-to chicken place

Tasty and Fresh.

A coworker recommended this place so I decided to give it a try. The chicken was alright, a better version of KFC. The fries would have been nice, they re like the fries at Swiss Chalet, but they were a bit overcooked and had absolutely no seasoning, it was only saved by the gravy. For whatever reason, employees never bothered to call my order when it was ready, and only remembered me when one person came out and saw me waiting off to the side of the counter. It s not far from my workplace, but have no reason to be back for a second visit.

I have ordered from other Chick n Joy locations but this one was the worst. I was here on Tuesday and ordered the special with paying the upgrade from Fries to Taters. The taters was bland did not have any taste, the breading was ok. Now, the chicken was overcooked and dry and tasteless to be honest. I would probably just go to the competition instead going forward. I hope the next person that goes here gets good food.

10 pics chicken was dry.

Worst potato wedges in history. The owner saves any unsold taters from the day before and serves them to unsuspecting consumers the next day. I bit into the tater I ordered for lunch and immediately lost my appetite. I called the store to complain and the store owner was acting confused. As if he didn t know he just ripped me off. Save you money and time and go somewhere else for fried chicken.

The COVID restrictions at this place are way over the top and it s May 2023. I ve seen Doctors offices and hospitals less paranoid.

The best service ever hands down, greatest staff alive. Kind polite friendly and considerate they take their customers concerns into considerations 6 out of 5 star :)

Very average food.. service at counter was very courteous though

this recently revamped cnj location offers the best chicken and best service. the ladies there are awesome. definitely dont mind going out of our way for this location.

Delicious food and great service. My go to place for lunch deals at least once a week.

Good food. Friendly and quick service

Always a pleasure going there because service always good. They always also have best fry chicken so it s win win

super friendly staff, fries actually taste like potatoes crunchy moist chicken, wish the lighting in the store was brighter

Very friendly staff

Love love the food and the owners most friendly place

The service and the food is very good. Chicken is fresh and juicy. I love the place I will come back again and again. highly recommended for the delicious food. 5 star for me

very cheap guys !

Please don t forget to ask for removing flies from the food, its complimentary. Disgusting

Went from the best fried chicken around to the worst. Used to go frequently, went about two months ago and had the saltiest meal ever. Gave them another shot today, my tongue is burning and I feel nauseous from the salt. Done with this place.

Used to like this place. Went recently to get some chicken tenders and realized that they sell the fries separately so $10 for 6 chicken tenders is now $16-not good. The dip tasted a little off so I think it must have been old, and the fries were dry. Regardless of the price, the food used to be good and its not like that anymore.

First visit! Great experience! Really good seasoning on chicken, fresh and really good gravy. Super friendly staff! More than fair prices! Will be returning.

Great customer service very fast in service as well also a great addition to TV he neighborhood Parking: Very big parking lot Wheelchair accessibility: Has automatic doors

Too salty that numbed my tongue I don t think I d visit again unfortunately

Amazing! Taste so crispy and fresh. Gentlemen very friendly ask if I want to take order now or wait. Parking: Parking accessible

worst service ever.. they took so long they forgot i was a customer that paid for food and then accused me of trying to steal my own order .... the food was also complete garbage...

I always go to this restaurant and their chicken is just amazing, very juicy! They serve my orders fresh and tasty! I would love going back there again. Highly recommended! Awesome

Amazing owners and are so kind. Gave us a free biscuit because it was our first time there. Hard working and cares about quality. Chicken is always fresh and warm!

We love the taste of their chicken. The staff is really nice and very accommodating. This is our quick go to for chicken take outs.

They are very accommodating with my food allergies. The staff are very polite, friendly and the store is always clean. Its the only chicken place I buy from.

Cant go wrong with the Monday and Tuesday special of 2 pieces of chicken and fries for $4.20

Worst food Ive had in a while. What a waste of money.

Chicken .N. Joy Is the best i had ordered a few times i was not happy Then i had ask for fresher food Its been the best chicken EVER..

I didn t expect that fried chicken that tastes worse than KFC is still open.

Great tasting chicken and taters. I would recommend.

Good fried chicken and fries.

Very friendly service and juicy chicken!

Although its been in the neighbourhood for 3 years we went there tonight for the first time. Wow what have we been missing. Outstanding chicken.. not greasy and delicious seasoning. Highly recommend... we will be back.

Very helpful and friendly staff, and the chicken is pretty great too!

Absolutely awful taters were hard like rocks

Not going back again. Too much oil and taste isn t good. They also don t have a good seating arrangement (I visited this place pre-covid19). Staff were helpful but what really I was looking for was tasty meal which they couldn t serve.

Service is always friendly and the food is always fresh. Has become the first choice of fried chicken for my whole family...biscuits are so good too.

Great customer service

The owners and staff are very friendly

I ve been to other Chick N Joy locations but this one is inferior and does not measure up to their quality standards. The food was stale and had obviously sitting under a heat lamp for hours. The fries were dehydrated and the chicken was dry. I called the store let them know that their food quality was poor and I was told sometimes that happens .

This Chickn Joy location has been one of my Familys favorite fast food restaurants for over a year now. Upon visiting the York Mills location we are always greeted with warm smiles from the owners. We usually order the 10 piece mixed fried chicken deal and have always enjoyed the generous pieces of chicken fried perfectly to a crisp. We will definitely continue to be big fans of this small store that always delivers great service and great tasting chicken!

Fast, friendly service and my order is always fresh and correct. Highly recommended!

Chicken tastes great I am there at least once per week The Customer service is EXCELLENT here!! I recommend this place to everyone

not bad chicken stilllll

Chicken is well cooked, friendly service, good prices on Monday and Tuesday

Try 10 piece mixed chicken pieces, itll be a bit extra salty but depending on your taste it might feel good. To each its own.

Chicken is always fresh.

This fried chicken never ceases to amaze me. Although underrated, it is a Canadian-run franchise and specializes in zero-trans fat fried chicken with fries and beverages. Fast service and fried chicken that trumps both Popeyes and KFC combined and is Canadian makes for an amazing experience!

Its okay but nothing really special, for me the best was the biscuits. No space for tables inside and the service is acceptable

The best fried chicken joint around! The food is so fresh and tasty, it keeps you coming back for more! The staff are very friendly and always thank you for your business. Be sure to visit on Tuesday for their two piece special. Way better than KFC! Their gravy is good too!

Delicious food and friendly staff.

surprise hit! Their taters are my favourite - full of flavour and crispy!

delicious food

Wow! My first time experiencing such great chicken. Crispy. Delicious. Amazing sides. I think Ill become a regular.

Not bad for a quick bite.

Gotta love the chicken at this place, a few seats but most ppl buy for take out.

Nice staff, chicken is tasty. Good options for sides to your chicken meal, not good for vegetarians, can do a salade. Patio is a nice touch for outdoor eating in the summer, minimal seating indoor.

I was asked if I wanted the combo which added $3 to my 2 pieces of chicken. I thought that would mean I got a drink and or a potato salad. Instead I got the thinnest gravy Ive ever seen. No drink. I assumed the combo would at very least mean a beverage was Included. Will not return.

Loved it

The buttermilk biscuit is ammmaazinnn!!! The chicken was good as well. I also tried their chicken sandwich which was good. Overall a great place but their biscuit stands out!!!

I found this place after a few people who lives around here recommended the place. The dark meat was absolutely juicy and amazing. The staff is very friendly and overall its a gem of a place.

The food is good but for some reason takes a considerable amount of time. I also dont like the narrow counter, having to have an employee opend and close a door to give each order is inefficient and a missed opportunity for the custom to see how their food is prepaired

Good wings

Awesome Eatery.

Customer service is great and food came out fast. Food is delicious and worth its price.

Their Monday/Tuesday special can t be beat. $3.75 for 2 pieces and they load up the fries. Best chicken deal that also tastes decent.

Good food a tad too expensive.

Good chicken place. I prefer this one to other bigger name fried chicken places. Service is nice too. Prices are good.

Bought a 10 pc family meal to feed 4 ppl. The chicken was horrible - extremely dry and way too salty. Even the kids wouldn t eat it. My kids asked why there was a nugget in the box (it was the breast piece). The biscuits tasted like greasy cardboard. The fries, coleslaw and macaroni salad were the only things palatable. I d eat the sides here again, but never again will I buy the chicken.

Great service/ good location

One of the better fast food chicken take outs. Always crispy & tasty. Fries and salad very nice as well. Staff at cash always pleasant.

Overpriced and didnt get gravy

Good food

If youre having problems going to the washroom, have some of this super greasy chicken, youll be running to the washroom with him 10 minutes.

I find this place very expensive for fried chicken that is not better than KFC, POPPYE, or any fried chicken in the city. The quality of the chicken is fatty and not worth the price. BREWSTERS on Lawrence ave is the answer to great fried chicken at a great price.

Great food, good service and very nice staff

a bit of a long wait, the food was okay i feel its very over priced

I would bring my friends here, chicken is a bit salty, but who cares when you are craving for some freshly cooked fried chicken!

The best fried chicken and be sure to get your hands on o e of the buttermilk biscuits!!! Quality made food and a Canadian business.

Chicken is delicious and service was great

The fries are cooked from frozen.

great staff breast is terrible

Chicken was good fast service fresh and hot.

Chicken is soggy also need to improve the gravy

Good chicken

It was ok

People who worked here were super nice. The food is not worth it the price. The combo does not include drinks? The fries were just mediocre- hard side, dry in the middle ( I guess thats why they give you gravy to compensate it? The gravy is addictive but salty so not sure how much MSG is in the container). Chicken strip was moist and tasty. It did take 10 minutes for them to prepare a personal size meal. I really wanted to grab and go...

Excellent chicken, tasty gravy, fast service, good sized portions, fantastic staff. Love it!

Good prices and service, fries are dry though and unsalted, you need a drink or gravy to gobble it down. Problem with packaging, boxes are not closing, steam from food goes out, dampening the cheap brown bag, lost gravy at one time. In winter due to freezing temperatures, order should be bagged properly and also put in a secure plastic bag. Otherwise place is small, packed, clean and staff friendly, except for some occasional cashier, which was rude and got fired. Will go back on Monday and Tuesday. Overall, tastes like KFC, with higher prices. Good to go for specials at 3.95.

The service is quite slow... Ive waited 30- 40 minutes wait just for 4 or 5 pieces of chicken!!! I will however go back when I know I have time, the food is great! They just need to hire efficient staff

Better the KFC but just as pricey.

Similar to other fried chicken joints. Similar prices. A tad less greasy. This is more a take-out place as opposed to dine-in.

THIS IS THE BEST CHICKEN EVER. I LOVE IT MORE THAN MY DAUGHTER APRIL!!!!! I LOVE CHICK N JOY

Not as good as Queen Street East location, but still very good. Monday / Tuesday lunch special is great value.

The staff are always friendly. The chicken is great

Meh

Great variety. Additional items in the menu that are beyond the usual chicken places.

No indoor tables, only stools. Chicken was excellent but fries, macaroni and gravy were not (2 peoples opinions). Not for us.

Messed up my order bad and would not admit it. Horrible customer service

Those school kids know whats up. Love the gravy and biscuits.

Had the hot wings .. it is the same as the ones in grocery store with the same hot sauce from the Chinese restaurants .. macaroni salad was much better

Nice place

All good, its not that expensive, if its fresh, good in general.

delicious chicken !!!!

The waiting time is about 15 minutes for a crunchy breaded chicken sandwich, but the waiting is worthwhile for a sandwich that is much more delicious than other fast food restaurants.

The best fries and gravy . Eat it so often I feel ashamed

Service too slow. They dont have biscuits. They cant give you what is on their menu. And you wait and wait and wait. The other locations handle way more people with less wait times than the fewer people and longer wait time for one special.

Value and chicken are okay

The service is fast and the food is pretty good. The chicken tastes similar to old school KFC and there are wooden picnic tables just outside of the restaurant. They also have a pretty good Monday and Tuesday special: two pieces of chicken and fries on the cheap.

Their food is amazing. I love the their wedges and chicken. So crispy and properly marinated. Very affordable price and friendly staff. I see people who are complaining about time, it s really not true. I have been going to this place for a really long time and I never waited more than 10mins. Give it a shot. You won t regret it.

Best tasting chicken in Toronto. Just wish there was a spicy option.

Delicious!!

I didnt have a good time

Yummy yellow gravy

After a colleague at work told to try this place as it was better than KFC, I decided to take their word for it. Well I will say, I guess we have different tastes. I ordered 3 specials. I found the food was lacking in flavour. The chicken was juicy, but there was something lacking about the taste. It was kind of bland. The fries were tasteless, seemed like it was cooked in stale oil, needed to add salt to make it edible. Also ordered the buttermilk biscuit, not what I expected as it texture was bouncy like a sponge.

Okay

Great place run by a friendly Filipino family. Only drawback is that theres limited indoor seating. Otherwise, great place to eat.

Not as I expected..

I love this place. Been going here for awhile now. The staff are simply just amazing. You have to try the pulled chicken sandwich, and their biscuits are really good. They go above and beyond to satisfy their customer.

Service is a bit slow, but I feel with time theyll get better. Food is fresh.

The chicken is much better than KFC. Size is about the same as Popeyes, but less greasy.

Peculiar experience - the five piece chicken had to have a substitute for some of the advertised pieces, not a problem. The chicken was fairly good. The French fries could be substituted for cole slaw - instead opted for extra cole slaw side (which was tiny) but the shock was the fries tasted like FISH (what the hell?). Had to toss the fries in the garbage - the fish taste couldn t be hidden by layers of ketchup.

Tastes better and less greasy than KFC.

Great chicken even better biscuits

Terrible, my order was completly wrong. Tge cashier had so much attitude about getting my order wrong. Never coming here again

Think KFC without the grease and guilt. On Mondays and Tuesdays, you can purchase 2 dark pieces with fries for 3.95 (tax included). They also have the option of crazy cheap add ons for 99 cents such as the biscuit or sides of mased potatos, coleslaw , bean salad or macaroni salad.

Good for a quick meal.

Very good, fast and convenient. Price is a little high though

Like their chicken. Not too greasy.
