The Chicken Place

Im mad at the reviews that were not so favourable for this place because you prolonged my visit… that being said this place is small and simple but the meal i had was amazing, 10 bucks for a chicken piled club sandwich with fries it was very good… i cant wait to go back and try more things on the menu… these guys do it old school and thank god

Came here on an evening and ordered the chicken club sandwich (comes with fries). Sandwich was huge and had lots of chicken pieces. Chicken was moist even though it was rotisserie. Fries were nothing out of the ordinary– average. Service was fast and the lady serving was friendly.
The place has three tables that each seat 4 people so the place is quite small. The jazz radio channel was chosen as background music which was kind of odd (in combination with a chicken and fries joint) but was relaxing.
I overheard one of the people ordering complaining about the coleslaw (which apparently is not made in house but bought). Thank goodness I stayed away from the coleslaw!

Great chicken sandwich, spicy wedges are delicious. The portion is pretty large, making it a good value. Service was very friendly. The restaurant itself was small, so I wouldn’t go in with a group larger than 4. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Why are you still reading reviews? Go get some chicken! This place is awesome! Beats the crap out of Swiss Chalet.

2 and a half stars in my opinion. Overrated by Unilocal customers. I got the Chicken place sandwich cuz everyone keeps recommending that but it wasn’t even that dank. I think I’m better off going to Popeyes

A solid 3 for me, delivery only.
The fire grilled chicken ranges from very good, to occasionally overcooked and too dry, the fries are cheap ¼″ frozen fries usually over-​fried and over-​salted, but baked potatoes are excellent, and if you order the «Tuesday Special» you get a whole chicken, rolls, fries/​baked or rice, and sauce for $ 18 + tax and a $ 2 delivery charge, so one really can’t complain.
The Chicken Place sandwich is a conundrum for me, kind of like a chicken cuban sandwich, it’s tasty, but I would love nice chunky pulled chicken instead of the over-​chopped chicken-​salad textured meat on this one, but the garlic mayo, pickles and crunchy panini-​grilled sub bun make it a decent sandwich.
Wings are good, and blessedly NOT breaded, but I like traditional butter/​Franks buffalo wings a la Anchor Bar, but their sauces are different, and just ok for me.
You can do worse, not a knockout, but the Tuesday Special is a great deal.
Cheers,

It’s easy to drive by this place without ever knowing it is there. Their sandwiches and fries are great. I always get the chicken sandwich (not to be confused with the Chicken Burger, which I’m not a fan of) and another sandwich that comes with sourdough (if I remember correctly)

Got the ¼ chicken dinner. I didn’t know that chickens even came this small. Add some soggy fries, sauce with the consistency of jelly, and a stale bun, and welcome to the chicken place. My first and last time.

It took me years to find out this place offers great selection after driving by for the past decade! We always order the CHICKEN PLACE SANDWICHES with EXTRA garlic mayo on the side. To DIE FOR!!! I can easily make this at home, but why go through the hassle when it can be delivered crispy with the right tang of pickles RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR or 10 mins for pick up.
We‘ve tried the chicken souvlaki dinner but the kicker is that it doesn‘t come with the greek salad (pay an extra $ 4 I think =(Chicken wings are good too. They got my order wrong once but the husband and wife who run the joint are very accommodating and always on par with their costumer service.

Driving to work each morning, I pass through Willowdale Ave and I always notice this yellow chicken shack. Almost 3 years living in North York, I still hadn’t tried them out yet. It’s such a small restaurant. What would they have to entice me to go? What do they got going on in that little hut?
Searched on Unilocal and read the review from ANGIE C. below about ordering the Chicken Place (Grilled) Sandwich. Impressed I was, she really liked it. I went on their website and saw they have a wide range of food to choose. Coming home, I was absolutely famished. My stomach was eating itself! I didn’t want to stuff my gorge with anything super heavy. I thought, the Chicken Place Sandwich… why the heck not?
I go into the little parking area in the back and get into the place. A mother and young daughter were polishing off a pile of wings. Surprisingly, they had 3 tables to eat on. I check out the menu to the side and a lady comes out to take my order. She lets me know that it’ll be ready in 10 minutes.
Looking at the décor, it has a lot of jazz photos and artwork on the wall, Miles Davis and BB King. My guess is that the owner likes jazz? The lady comes out with my sandwich in a paperbag, I take it to go and blaze on home.
Got home and unwrapped, it was still warm. The sandwich itself was as flat as a pancake, just like the picture shows. «Here goes nothing», and took a huge chomp. Remember that this concoction has pulled chicken, garlic mayo and pickles in a sub-​ish type bun… that’s it! I was not going to put my standards through the roof. Anyway, back to the bite… mmm the sandwich is pretty decent! Sure, it really is a plain ‘olé Jane sandwich but something about it’s tasty subtleness got me reeling!
Bun = Crispy!
Chicken = Soft!
Garlic Mayo = Creamy!
Pickles = Crunchy!
Say what you want about this $ 5.99 small time sandwich from a small time shack, The Chicken Place has stuff to offer. Don’t be fooled! They have a new customer in me. I can’t wait to taste much more food from their huge menu. Thanks to Angie C. for reviewing!

This place is small but you can dine in to eat. Wouldn’t have known or seen this place if it weren’t for Unilocal.My chicken club sandwich was huge and very tasty. The wedges and spicy fries are yummy and plentiful. My husband had the wings which weren’t incredible but good and enjoyable. Too bad the delivery zone ends right at where we live but I would do the drive to do take out. Will have to try their chicken place sandwich which other Unilocalers recommend.

Chicken place sandwich is one of the best sandwiches in this city! The Wedges are great over here. Family run business that deliver as well!!!

I tried their Tuesday special ($ 18 + tax) — whole chicken, large fries, 4 dinner rolls, sauce. I’m definitely a fan. The yonge/​sheppard area is lacking a standard chicken/​ribs place and I’m glad I found this place.
The meal didn’t blow my mind, but it was definitely what I expected. I like the seasoning on the chicken. Those grocery store chickens are dry and flavorless. This place does it just right. Not too salty. Just right. The fries are thick cut, which I like. The dinner rolls were not fresh but I don’t really hold it against them. I would have paid $ 18 for the meal without the rolls anyways.
I studied their menu while I waited for my chicken. Their prices are decent. Not super cheap, but definitely not on the high end. They also have wings, fish and shrimp, ribs, and souvlaki dinner.
My first experience is good and I’m definitely happy to come again to try something else. The location is somewhat out of the way. It can be called a hidden gem. It’s more of a takeout/​delivery place. There are 3 tables in the restaurant if you really want to eat there.

The reviews had me thinking I had found my chicken place.
We ordered take-out…one souvlaki, three pounds of wings (the day’s special), and a chicken sandwich.
Upon arriving home, was disappointed to discover the souvlaki was overcooked, with most pieces burned. Wings were average, a little on the small/​lean side, and the chicken sandwich had an alarmingly high mayo-​to-​chicken ratio.
At $ 30 I might’ve tried them again… but it wasn’t $ 30.

I agree with the last Unilocaler. This place is quite AWESOME.
The souvlaki dinner is the best in town. Big hunks of extremely flavourful chicken, tasty rice, a pita and tzatziki sauce. Enough to feed 2!!!
The chicken wings are also nicely made. Meaty not greasy. Better than most wings in the entire city. Really!
We can’t get beyond ordering these 2 dishes because they never disappoint.
Service is always friendly. I think my voice is now instantly recognized because I’ve recently become a frequent caller. Delivery speed is decent (sometimes quicker than others). Guess it depends on their business volume for that night. Food is always piping hot.
If this place were a licensed restaurant, I would be there weekly. But since it’s not, I pretty well order in weekly. Prices are very reasonable considering the amount of food you get.
All in all, it’s Willowdale’s best kept secret. It’s a «must try»…

Chicken place is the BOMB.
My boyfriend and his group of friends have been ordering from this place for years, and when we started dating about a year ago, he couldn’t believe I’d never had it before.
I’ve never been in person, so this review is on delivery only.
They’re friendly on the phone, one guy is a total boss, the other sometimes confused, but the food always arrives quickly and hot. I almost always order «The Chicken Place Sandwich.» It’s pulled rotisserie chicken, garlic mayo and pickles. That’s it. Griddled between some tasty sub roll action. The mayo melts, the pickles stay crisp — it’s a really happy place.
We order greek salads, which are good, as well as the spicy fries which are definitely frozen and completely delicious — I’ve got a soft spot for frozen potatoes.
All in all, if you’re in the northern end of the city and looking for an easy tasty dinner, give them a call!

Wings! Small small place in North York selling some good chicken wings.
The Chicken Place is a tiny place located next to some Korean small school. The place itself is located around nowhere. It’s primarily a take-​out place that also does some delivery. A place like this is the perfect place to come when you want some good chicken. The menu consists of rotisserie chicken, buffalo style wings, ribs, and some fish and chips (though the pictures don’t make them seem appetizing). Now, I didn’t get around to trying roast chicken because I love wings way too much. It’s an addiction that won’t go away and the only cure is more chicken wings.
The prices are no better than any other place to get wings though. Really hoping a small place like this would have some outrageously cheap prices, but no such luck. A pound of wings will run you about $ 10 plus tax. The wings are small but there are about 15 that come in a pound.
They do their wings a different way, in that they don’t bread them and they come naked. They are marinated in a secret blend of sauces and spices. The wings are then deep fried in vegetable oil and served to you piping hot. Though the wings were small, I’m glad they give you a full pound by loading you up on quantity. As for the taste, they were wonderful. I loved the taste of these wings and thus far, they might even be the best tasting wings I’ve had in the GTA thus far (which isn’t saying much). The medium sauce hits you with a nice spice that doesn’t burn but adds ful flavor in every little morsel.
The place, I believe, is run by a small group of Koreans, and they were real friendly. I was also a tad disappointed that they didn’t have individual combos that were cheaper. You will be hard-​pressed to find anything below $ 10. The business wasn’t booming at the time so she was able to answer all my questions. I would come back again if I were in the area. You can eat in if you like, as there are several small tables, but I would stick to take-​out or delivery.

Surprisingly good food. I took a chance after reading other people’s reviews of this place.
Chicken very juicy! Taste is good. Looks like a small family run joint.
prices are relatively cheap too.
Renovations might put you off. they are just very very basic., but still clean. From the looks of it, the place used to be an office. You can tell from the ceilings and the layout. Strange that they let it convert into a restaurant.

This is my goto place when I don’t want to cook. The wings are excellent and priced right. But my favourite is the roast chicken.
Try it out!

Off the beaten path this place has the best meal deal in town…
Two whole flame roasted chickens, two salads, fries, bread rolls and gravy… better flavour than the supermarket chickens… and no where near as salty as that ski cabin place.
The wings that we have tried so far (honey garlic and hot) are good too…
