| - Decided to check this place out after an afternoon of out door skating. Everything I read said it was the "it" place for bbq/fried chicken.
Arrived around 5:30 just before the mad dinner rush. Only 4 other people. Great,we had the place all to ourselves.
No one greeted us, no one seated us, no one set out plates, etc. Good thing chef wasn't too busy or else no one would have taken our order.
We finally ordered the fried chicken dinner, a classic burger and an order of fries to share.
Chicken came almost immediately, but no place settings. Oh well, you are suppose to eat fried chicken and fries with your hands, right??
Burger came about 10 minutes later along with napkins, plates , fork and knife. Oh yea, and water.
Chicken was 4 good size pieces. It had a nice crispy coating and juicy inside. Loads of shoe string fries. One order was more than enough for 2.
Burger was really good but looked a little lonely all on its own on the plate. Chefs thumbs prints/indentations in the bun took away from the appearance a little as well. I hate it how nice fresh bread gets squashed so easily, means you have to be careful, who has time for that?
Overall not a bad "greasy dinner" type place. I have had much better else were in the city. Electric Mud, Big Crow, Barque Smokehouse, Hogtown Smoke, Burgers Priest. ..........
Did not live up to the hype, plus the three sad faces above, I gave it three stars and that is giving them the benefit of the doubt that it was a off night. Maybe it was because it was snowing outside, always throws Torontonians for a loop.
