| - PG Clucks Mini Hack: How to Bite into the Best Fried Chicken on College:
1) Location and hours: 610 College St. If you're taking the TTC and travelling west on College, get off at Clinton St. Travelling east on College, get off at Grace St. Walk towards the vintage cinema theatre "The Royal". Now look for the sign "FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICHES" in red capitals. Closed on Sunday and Monday. Open 12 pm - 11 pm from Tuesday to Saturday. Perfect for a late night snack when pub crawling in Little Italy.
2) Fried Chicken: Important! Portions: if you're looking for a perfect snack, go with the $7 Classic (regular or spicy). If you're hungry for a meal, add a $3 extra chicken piece to your Classic. The Classic is their signature boneless, buttermilk, Nashville-style deep fried chicken with sliced pickles, chili sauce, and coleslaw all in a sandwich bun. OMFG - WARNING, eating this chicken will make you euphoric! CRISPY, TENDER, JUICY. It is simply one of the tastiest, most flavourful fried chickens I've eaten in a long time (nearly better than, dare I say, Bar Fancy, The Stockyards, Kanpai Snack Bar, The County General, Kitson & Co Sandwiches, and others).
3) Pros and Cons: The price is super cheap, $7 +tax for a sandwich. If you order for 2 and get the combo (1 side, 1 drink), it's under $20. Of course, no sandwich is perfect; the coleslaw in the sandwich was a tiny bit too watery, and so the sandwich was slightly soggy. The sides are decent but nothing special. Stick to the fried chicken. Another thing, there is no seating, no standing to eat, you just order and go. They also do Foodora.
PG Clucks: A new favourite for Nashville-style fried chicken, PG (owner Pawel Grezlikowski) Clucks is the only place on College West for some sinfully good fried chicken - with Kensington Market-like prices too!
