Perhaps a continual theme of my other reviews, a common thread if you will; stems from the fact that I moved out of Toronto for nearly 7 years and then returned in the Summer of 2015. There were certain locations that I remembered all those years later and re-visited and then there were places like The Stockyards, who I probably went past hundreds of times the first time I lived here, was one of the spots I had heard a lot of really great things about. Last night, my craving for fried chicken finally came to a head and I had to sesiate my hunger. Recalling this place I visted to pick up two friend chicken dinners to go. The cook and current front staff were extremely nice, like visiting old friends. Talking at length about this and that while I waited for my orders, then while I waited for my uber to arrive after snagging two of their amazing biscuits near the check out, the front staff person gave me a free ginger tea on the house while I waited. Now don't assume that is standard :P I just gave a good tip when I paid for my order and appreciation is a tennis game.
Rant aside, come out and check out the best friend chicken in the city. Wonderful.
