| - For years, I have heard of Church's Chicken. There used to be more locations in the GTA, but I never truly got into fried chicken until now.
On Groupon, there are a few deals at two different Church's Chicken places. This location had a deal for two chicken sandwiches, two sides, and two drinks for $6. I decided to give it a try.
I didn't realize that this Church's location is at Cedarbrae Mall until I pulled into the lot. It brought back odd memories of my mom taking me to my orthodontist's Scarborough location in this mall to get teeth moulds. I was in grade 5, so it was an open parking lot where this chicken place now stands.
There is plenty of parking, although you do have to watch where you are going. Traffic can get a bit chaotic if you aren't paying attention and folks seemed confused at times.
I parked and walked in. Every table was taken at around 12:30 pm. There is limited seating. One person was ordering as I approached the counter. I showed my Groupon and then placed my order.
I got a BBQ chicken sandwich, a Tex Supreme chicken sandwich, corn, mashed potatoes, and two fountain drinks. I only had to pay for taxes, which came to $1.56. I gave the friendly person handling my order $2.05. He apologized and pulled out his calculator on his phone. I said that he owes me 50 cents. Wow. Our smartphones and technology are truly making us lazy with mind math.
My order didn't take long to process. I filled my beverage cups with Diet Coke and Barq's root beer. I got a couple of straw, which made me think that I should get recyclable straws.
I did takeout. I had the BBQ chicken sandwich. It had a nice crunch and the sesame bun was soft. I liked the barbeque sauce. It has iceberg lettuce, which I am starting to not like these days, likely because I have had an overdose of it. Other than that, it was a decent sandwich with a generous chicken breast that was juicy and nicely seasoned.
I ate the corn, which was one of my sides. It was on the cob. I loved it. I also had the mashed potatoes, which had a slight kick to it. It was comfort food in a small container.
I couldn't eat the other sandwich, so I had the Tex Supreme chicken sandwich for dinner. I liked the spicy mayo. It didn't have a ton of heat, but I enjoyed it. You get the same generous chicken breast on a sesame bun.
I would go back to have some fried chicken with honey-butter biscuits and macaroni salad. All of that is up my alley. The Groupon was a decent introduction to this chain and I want more.
