| - We've been coming to WBK for a few years, and realized that we've not visited recently. We decided, spontaneously and without a reservation, to go for dinner here on Friday night. Alas, the restaurant was full and we didn't want to wait, so ended up ordering take-out.
One of our regular orders is their fried chicken. Having tried lots of fried chicken around the city, we consider the fried chicken here to be one of the best. While we've tried their "hot" version, we prefer their original (as it's less "saucy"). It's a generous serving, comes with a biscuit, and a side (we love their coleslaw!)
A newer item we'd not tried before is their double-down. We decided to give this a try, even though we debated whether it was overkill to have both fried chicken AND a double-down (hey, it's a Friday night so we went all out). Having KFC / Taco Bell across from them must give them some menu inspirations - they have the equivalent of "fries supreme", and now the double-down (although I'm not sure if KFC still has this since I don't do KFC.) This is 2 pieces of boneless fried chicken topped with cheese / sriracha mayo, their home-made square bacon and an egg. A nice touch is that as take-out, the sunny-side up egg is packed in a separate container. Fantastically decadent!
The order came to $44 before tip, but this lasted us TWO meals each.
We've tried most of their menu items, with their mac and cheese being another favourite. They also offer a lot of dessert options that are often nostalgic (i.e., lemon ice box pie) have a very "home made" feel. The only suggestion I'd make is for them to offer more veggie/vegan options. The only entree suitable for one of our friends is their curry - she says it's delicious. That said, when we suggest going to WBK for dinner, this choice is sometimes veto'ed because she needs to be in the mood for this one entree that she can order!
We've also tried their brunches a few times. The food again is excellent, but the wait times / lines deter us unless we go for a late brunch.
Having gone to this restaurant since they've opened, it's great to see a local business thrive and become popular and we will continue to support them.
