EDIT: So, i called them to complaint abt it, the manager said she’d call me if they can give me a replacement. She didn’t call me in 1 hour. I called back and then she said the hole is absolutely normal. It’s from supplier. And that’s how it ended. So, having a hollow in a small burger patty is considered perfect. 😊 just take a look at the patty size and the thin slice. That’s what we’re paying for… Ordered 2 chicken sandwiches. Got this cute hollow patty just like a donut inside the burger. 😭 Totally unexpected.

Best Nashville-Style Chicken in Toronto! This place is seriously unmatched! Every time I go, it’s like a flavor explosion that always hits just right. The chicken is crispy, juicy, and perfectly spiced – you can tell they put real love into every piece! And the staff? They’re the friendliest, most welcoming crew you’ll meet. I always leave with a full stomach and a huge smile. If you’re in Toronto and craving Nashville heat, this spot has to be on your list!

This review is for delivery of Birdies Fried Chicken so I can't comment on the service or atmosphere. People have raved about Birdies and have told me to try their food for a long time now. I finally decided to give it a go, feeling a tad adventurous. Featured in the images are their: OG FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH COMBO that came with fries and a 5PC CHICKEN TENDERS COMBO. We opted for a regular poutine, honey mustard dipping sauce for the chicken tenders and we did original chicken (ie. not spicy). I'll be honest, the food tasted great. The chicken was moist and flavourful. The sandwich bun was soft and had just the right amount of toppings to not overpower the chicken. The fries were great - fresh cut on the thicker side. They stood up well on their own or fully drenched in the poutine. I am not a fan of dry poutine so was pleasantly surprised that they were generous with the gravy. Perhaps my only caution is that the chicken tenders are on the smaller side. The 5 pieces would likely satisfy a child but may not be enough for an adult unless they were eating something else too so thank goodness it came with the poutine! Overall, satisfied with our Birdies meal and might just go back to try out some of their other menu items.

This place has super hefty chicken sandwiches. On sheer size alone it beats out on every other chicken place in toronto. The chicken had a crispy fry all around and was matched well with the sauce, and pricing was decent for the amount that they give you. If you’re looking to sit and eat it’s not that kind of restaurant so you might be better off taking your food to go or waiting for the three seats at the window bar to clear up. The fries were pretty plain but you can ask for the hot fries and those have a good spice to them. Regardless its a good burger and well worth the money.

Finally got here!! I live around the corner but was afraid it was only dark meat . Called and the nicest girl said they would make my sandwich with the tenders. YES PLEASE! The sandwich was packed with tenders, lettuce, pickles + their home sauce! Absolutely DELISH! Really saucey, will definitely be back

Wow! Best fried chicken sandwich I ve had in years. It s quite a large sandwich that I struggle trying to finish. I usually buy a combo because they got the best fries (but I can literally eat this as 2 meals.) This is one of my go-to chicken places. Parking: The parking lot is behind NoFrills. I usually buy simmering from NoFrills after eating at Birdies. Kid-friendliness: Yes but not 3 spots to ear on the indoors.

This is the best food I ve had in Toronto. For something quick on Ubereats the quality of food you get for $20 is insane. The chicken was so juicy and the fries are so good and salted to perfection! And the gravy, if you like gravy you must get it with your meal. My only regret ordering this was not getting more gravy Highly recommend to anyone looking for good chicken at a good price! Thanks birdies

Quality diminished big time than before. Previously they used to give one small piece on top of the big chicken patty. Now there is no small piece on top. And the main patty is smaller than before and has more chicken skins than before. I know the skin, dark meat, chicken fat, their good marination & seasonings are what makes the patty taste so delicious. But nowadays, that quality is gone. If the quality and quantity both are decreased, why not the price?

Finally tried Birdies and was not disappointed. I got the extra hot nashville chicken sandwich and miso coleslaw. Im a bit of a spice fiend, so for me, the spice level was hot, while still maintaining a very nice flavour. Ive had many nashville hot chicken sandwiches around town, and this is definitely in the top five. The miso coleslaw was too heavy on sesame and thats all I could taste, but Ill give it a try again next time.

literally the BEST fried chicken EVER. Service is great workers are kind and the food only shows their true passion for their work. Its absolutely delicious and worth the travel since I live very far. If you are in the area or even in toronto, GO TO THIS PLACE IT IS AMAZING AND THE FOOD IS TO DIE FOR. ps i forgot to take a photo cause i ate the food so quick

Quite simply the best chicken sandwich Ive had in Toronto, probably the best Ive had in Canada, and Ive lived in the US where there are plenty of excellent Nashville chicken sandwiches, so I like to think I have a broad view of the subject. I used to live in the Beaches and this was among my top 5 spots to eat, even when compared to some of my favourite sit-down restaurants closer to/along Queen. Now I live on the opposite side of town, and while theres no shortage of competitive chicken sandwiches over here, I still find myself longing for a Birdies Nashville Hot. This sandwich is also the only one that can make my wife temporarily break her otherwise vegetarian/vegan (she alternates between the two) diet, so take from that what you will.

Forget KFC and other breaded chicken you may have eaten elsewhere. It s simple, these are the best fried chicken we ve ever tasted! The meat is great (very juicy), the breading and its spices fantastic. The poutine is not to be outdone, the Nashville hot fries are excellent (be careful, they are very spicy). The coleslaw salad revisited, very good. Friendly and fast service. Not excessive addition considering the quality of the whole.

This is one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I ve had in a long time. For about $12 you get what seems like a 1/4 chicken in a bun with mayo and pickles. Real chicken, and not minced meat. I took my time devouring it and savoring every bite. I thanked the staff on my way out. I came here because a friend told me about it and I m glad he did. Excellent work!

★★★

The fried chicken sandwich was decent as was the price point for the combo with the fries. The chicken was juicy. It had a good crunch from the fried batter. The sauce gave it a little kick. Here s what could have been better in my opinion: The chicken and batter could have been seasoned more. The brioche bun could also have been bigger as it was borderline slider sized. The shredded lettuce and pickles for toppings was pedestrian. The atmosphere was clean, but the sit-in option needed more than just a few stools at the window countertop. It looks like a neighborhood staple, particularly with younger people, and I would try it again if I happen to be in the neighborhood.

This place was given a lot of high praise so one day I decided it was time to try it out I came in and told the girl at the front I heard you guys were supposed to be the best, I hope that s true in a funny sarcastic tone, trying to break the ice. What she said I ll never forget. She goes You ll see. And boy she wasn t wrong. They know exactly what they re doing and it s definitely something I want to try for the first time again. Unfortunately I can t lol. It was a bit messy so I suggest finding a comfortable spot to eat it but damn it was a top notch fried chicken sandwich !

I stopped writing reviews now until Ive been to a place at least 3 times. This place is not only consistent, but the price is great, and while their locale has limited parking, Ive asked them almost every time if they could bring the food to the car in front of the shop and they do it every time without hesitation, and a smile. Not to mention the prices are so reasonable. I alternate between the Nashville hot and the OG fired chicken sandwich. I now go nowhere else for my fried chicken fix. I just wish they opened later than 8 pm, but I suspect there might be some good reason that Ill let pass for the amazing price.

Birdies Fried Chicken has been consistently delicious every time we ve ordered from them! They have definitely become one of our go-to lunch and dinner spots for takeout. Their chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside, and tender and moist on the inside. The food is always piping hot and the truck sauce (their secret, signature sauce) is one of the best pairings for fried chicken anywhere! My go-to order is either the 3 or 5-Piece OG Friend Chicken, with their truck sauce to dip. I also loved their cheese fries; the cheese was plain melty and gooey goodness. I highly recommend Birdies if you re looking for delicious fried chicken! They are a fantastic local business and the staff are always friendly!

Well priced, delicious chicken place! Highly recommend coming here if you eat meat. I recommend the wing lunch box as it comes with the perfect amount for a lunch. The place is designed more for eat-and-go. There are three stools set up by the window for a nice little eat spot. The food does take a bit to prepare (max.30min) but that s the cost of cooked fresh, for you, food. The order online option is a great system. I recommend using this if you know what you want to order as it tells you when the food will be ready by. Cute interior design as well! Overall, highly recommend this cute chicken joint. Vegetarian options: None except for coleslaw and fries (unsure what oil the fries are cooked in though). Dietary restrictions: *Not* celiac friendly. Wheelchair accessibility: Is accessible.

Had the buttermilk chicken bites (now they use tenders instead) and nashville hot fries. The chicken tenders were dry and relatively tastless. I would say they are only slightly better than the Costco chicken fingers as Birdies had a crispier outside and less salt. Pairing them with the truck sauce was the right call. Nashville hot fries was VERY spicy but otherwise pretty bland. Ive had nashville hot chicken at several places around town but the heat these frie carry caught me by surprise.

I placed an order early in the day for 7pm and when I arrived they quoted another 40 minutes. They allowed more than the specified 4 people in the store and everyone was waiting for their food so even to check on my order I had to enter a crowed store. I asked them how they would like to make things right considering the 40 minute delay and the declined to do anything. I also emailed the store to give them a chance to make things right and received no response in a week. The actual food was pretty bad, the chicken strips were dry and under seasoned and the fries were undercooked. I cant recommend this restaurant.

The chicken here tasted great. I had an OG Chicken Sandwich and it was tender without being greasy. The sauce was great. Only dinging 1 star because I wish it came with a bigger bun or if they cut up the chicken and stacked it instead (the chicken is significantly bigger and when combined with the sauce, its a sloppy mess to eat after a couple bites) and I wish there was better side options. If your in the area and looking for great food, I recommend this place.

Ordered the Nashville spicy fried chicken burger, coleslaw and fries. It was good fried chicken, not as juicy as I expected. Despite that, it was still nice and crunchy. Beware of the spicy level of this fried chicken. Both I and my partner can handle spice, but my partner had a flaming butt the next day ... might be tmi.. just be aware. Worth a try.

some of the best fried chicken Ive had in recent memory, and a pretty good price too. Would love to see a better selection of sides as Im not really a fry guy (the fries are still really good), and maybe a buffalo style sauce as well as the nashville hot that they have. Will definitely be ordering from here regularly.

Im a HUGE advocate for this place. Ive been telling them to get a store front location since they were a food truck that occasionally parked outside my office. The best days in the office would be when theyd show up outside and Id take orders from 10-15 people from the immediate area and wed all enjoy these amazing chicken fingers. Im somewhat of a chicken finger connoisseur, and they have (no contest) the best chicken fingers Ive ever had. Love this place, love the people. My only beef is that this is on the opposite end of Toronto so I cant have it all the time. Super happy you guys finally got a store!!!

All I have to say is WOW WOW!! Man what a cool little fried chicken joint this is. LOVE their Nashville hot chicken pieces. My mouth was on fire (but in the best way possible) The tossed in pickle slices are quite cool and cooling as well. Their fries are so out of bounds they need no ketchup! (trust me on this). Great place for lunch. Their signature truck sauce would be my one and only complaint... BIGGER CONTAINER PLEASE!

Tried their GOAT chicken sandwich for the first time and it was soooo good. Don t know how they achieved it but the chicken was crispy, saucy, and tender at the same time and the whole sandwich was bursting with flavour on the first bite. For spicy chicken lovers like me trust me, you won t be disappointed with ordering the Nashville hot spice level. The owners are super friendly and welcoming, a rlly great new addition to the neighbourhood. Can t wait to see bigger things in store for this family owned business in the future. :)

I had the OG - it was superb! The chicken was tender, not greasy or dry! I personally would have loved it more with a brioche bun or a bigger bun. The service was very good and the cashier made sure we got everything we needed to eat outdoors. Wait time was about 10 mins, not bad.

Small location right beside a dollar tree. Went when there was also a taste of South Asia festival. The place looks very modern and the staff were friendly. Ordered a $10 Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The chicken was fairly plump with pickles and their homemade sauce on top. The chicken itself is not spicy (2/10 on the Asian spicy scale) and feels more of a numbness to it. The reason why it got 4* is because the outside of the bag was sauced up.

To say this is the best chicken sandwich in all of Toronto is a bold statement but someone has to do it . THE BEST!! Nashville hot chicken had the perfect level of hotness/spice. You get a huge piece of chicken that has a nice crunch. I can t wait to return and try other items on the menu

I had heard amazing things about this chicken sandwich from a spot in the East end called Birdies, that used to also be a truck. I finally had it today and it lived up to its reputation. Chicken was crispy without excess breading, the Nashville hot chicken was delicious. The original was just as good and the fries are like chip truck fries. Loved the friendly staff too, super lovely people! Will definitely be back!

Although it was not exactly hot for my taste preference , but I still loved it. The quality of chicken, the buns, the pickles and the sauce everything was perfect for me. Ill surely order from this place again.

The Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich is where its at! Moist chicken, on a soft bun, with spicy Nashville sauce. Highly recommend if you like a bit of spice.

Friendly service and helpful staff. My Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich was a good level of spice. The fries were done to perfection today. Thx. Well be back! A couple of quick cautions: There is a dining-in option, but it is at counter seating against the window. There are only 3 seats. Dont come with a big party expecting a table. Parking is also limited. Having said that, I felt I got good value for the price and would recommend trying this place.

I had it all... And they were great. The chicken was so juicy it spurt out and soiled my shirt. My daughters only complaint was that the sandwich was too big to hold. Looks can be deceiving as the box looked tiny. Id post pictures but we were hungry we just started eating. The fries were just ok but no minus in star rating because the main even was the chicken.

ITS WORTH IT!!! My eyes are bigger than my stomach, for sure! I just placed my first order at Birdies, but I was skeptical because the delectable buttermilk chicken pieces and OG original sandwich werent as big as the other photos. I was so wrong because I am so stuffed! The flavour of the sandwich and chicken pieces, Yum, not salty and or greasy! Just the right amount of seasoning, and I experienced a taste of the crispiness from that first crunch to my last bite, including the French fries! The gravy, Oh my... And that sauce... Delicious! Birdies satisfied my craving so much that this is my new joint! Thank you! I will definitely be back! P.S. I am so stuffed!!!

If you live anywhere near here or can get it delivered, then this is the place to go for amazing fried chicken! It has a pretty limited menu and we have tried most of the main items - OG Fried Chicken Sandwich, Nashville Fried Chicken Sandwich, Chicken tenders, Fries and Vanilla Milkshake. All the items were delicious! My preference is for the Nashville sandwich as I like spicy chicken. Having visited Nashville, and eaten fried chicken there I can confirm this place does it right. The OG is great too. Cant really go wrong with anything on the menu here. So happy to have this place nearby!

Birdies is the best fried chicken sandwich in Toronto. No one has a sandwich like Birdies. They are incredible. The sauce, the crunch, the spices, everything works perfectly. The only problem is the hours. You need to be open at 10:30 AM and close at midnight Monday to Monday. there are far too many businesses on the Danforth that want to place their lunch orders and nothing hits the spot like Birdies. Extra bonus points cause its halal.
