| - FOOD
- My partner and I both got the 2-piece fried chicken meal, but we both got different sides:
1. Potato salad: Needs some work. Maybe add in some mustard or dill? Not much flavour.
2. Macaroni salad: Average, similar to KFC macaroni salad.
3. Poutine (+$1): Pretty good! The gravy has lots of flavour and the cheese's melt-factor was more than acceptable.
4. Kettle chips: GET THESE RIGHT NOW, DO NOT HESITATE! Forget Tim Horton's "warm" kettle chips, Coney Island's kettle chips were jawdroppingly delicious. They're sliced from a regular sized potato and they taste very natural, because they are! As a side, the portion was huger than expected and came out fresh and hot in a medium-sized takeout box.
- The fried chicken itself is juicy and a lot less greasy than KFC/Popeye's. The skin is, as someone else mentioned, somewhere between KFC and Popeye's. By the chicken itself, it's unremarkable, but the meal came with hot gravy which elevated the taste. They must have thickened their gravy from the first couple of reviews because the texture and viscosity were A-OK.
- You can choose to get a free sauce on the side. I got sweet chilli which was totally yummy. It's not a homemade sauce, just the regular one that comes in a bottle. My partner got the Bullseye BBQ sauce which was just that - the Bullseye BBQ Sauce (smoky, not so much sweet).
SERVICE
- The workers were young and there were only 2 or 3 of them there when we went on Thursday night. They are friendly, but don't interact too much at service points. They seemed a bit shy, so I'd recommend that they work on a more outgoing approach.
- Our food came out in just under 10 mins.
ATMOSPHERE/LOCATION/MISC
- The restaurant is set up like a fast food restaurant with a counter and self-serve pop machine, but we later realized that the employees bring out the food to your table. They should let people know this, so they don't expect the speed of a McDonald's or get confused.
- There are only two washrooms, one for men and one for women. They are huge and look like the kind you would find in a Moxies.
- Located at the new TD Bank plaza at Hwy 7/McCowan.
- They have free Wi-Fi.
- I would definitely come back!
