What! I have to wait 8 minutes for fast food!
But it was the best 8 minutes I’ve ever spent! When I got home the chicken was SOOO crispy on the outside and mmmmm so juicy! It’s sooo good when it’s fresh out of the fryer.
I usually go to the Pop eyes close to UofT but they make the chickens way before hand and put it under the hot lamps to keep it warm but the often the meat gets chewy.
Had the craving and went back again today but it wasn’t fresh out of the fryer so it wasn’t that good, however the fries were good this time. But still much better than pop eyes as the storage area is much smaller so more turn around and more fresh chicken.
To get fresh chicken go near the end of dinner time where they constantly make new batches. I just wish there was a way to get freshly fried juicy chicken every time! Maybe make it at home???

Best fast food fried chicken chain. Not as greasy as KFC. I always get the taters instead of fries with q side of gravy.

Forget KFC. End of discussion.
About what was said about the fries, they just need a little help from their gravy. Solid.

I ordered the chicken burger and I was amazed how big it was. I really enjoyed it, but I didn’t like the fries. I waited a long time for my food which I thought was ridiculous. Next time I go I’ll try the chicken and maybe get the taters instead.

This is quite a long drive from where I live, but I believe the long drive is so worth it!
I only go during Mondays or Tuesdays when they have their special which is 2 pcs chicken with fries for $ 3.60
I always make sure to order their buttermilk biscuit, which in my opinion hands down beats Popeye’s biscuits. It’s got such a milky taste that makes me feel like drooling right now just thinking about it :)
The chicken’s a little salty, but the gravy isn’t and when they go together, it makes the chicken less salty. This is my number one fried chicken place. wayyy better than KFC/Popeye’s and there is always a long line up when their specials are on.
I am a regular customer and I keep coming back for their juicy chicken and buttermilk biscuits. Definitely looking forward to trying out other stuff from their menu.

My wife doesn’t eat fried chicken. She was away one weekend so I decided to splurge and drink some beer and eat some chicken. I grew up eating the 2nie Tuesday deals here as I went to high school not too far from here. I’m a leg and thigh guy but seeing how I’m older I thought I should healthy it up so I got a bucket with breasts. Fries and gravy are a must here. The fries are amazing.
I ended up with way too much food for a single person but eh price was right. I ended up eating most of the bucket and drinking some beers, which I conveniently picked up next door. The meal was epic and the chicken and fries were just as good as I remembered eating 15+ years ago.
Skip the colonel and the Louisiana chicken spot and eat here. You won’t regret it… unless you eat the good part of a bucket and over do it like said reviewer.

I just love Chick-​n-​Joy. I got 12 pieces of chicken, fries, gravy biscuits all for $ 23.00. So affordable and the chicken taste like Kfc’s old recipe. Even a day old the chicken and biscuits are still edible. This place deserves a five star, the food is great. Not a fancy type restaurant but a hang out quick meal type restaurant.

While the food was excellent, and this place has become my new KFC, the establishment itself could use a lot of work. As soon as you enter into the building, there’s a small waiting area between the doors and the counter, and does not offer in house seating. I also noticed people whose order #‘s had been taken after our own, were being served before us.

Chick ‘n’ Joy’s recipe is as close to KFC’s original recipe without being KFC’s original recipe.
A side-​by-​side comparison:
1. The chicken is fresh not frozen so there’s no smell where the meat meets the bones (unlike KFC).
2. The pieces are larger than KFC’s.
3. Ample fries with the boxed meals (no ‘individual’-sized bagged fries — why bag the fries when the bag goes into a box anyways?)
4. Less salty and oily than KFC.
5. More variety of sides (mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, etc.)
6. For the most part, cheaper priced than KFC.
Yes, it can get busy during lunch and dinner so there is a little wait but that’s a testament to the popularity of this place.
I had the three piece dark meat (rib, thigh, leg) boxed meal for $ 6.79. A printable coupon from their website tacked on a free soda and biscuit to my meal. Nice.
My go-​to place for fried chicken from now on.

Yummiest chicken ever! This place serves the best fried chicken — crispy outside an super juicy inside. The macaroni salad is delicious, if you like mayo. They are always busy but you never have to wait for too much time. Food is always freshly made and service is friendly and super efficient.

The filipino restaurants are slowly making its way into Canada!
Finally I found another chicken place to rival the infamous KFC and Popeyes, the only difference is that Chick-​N-​Joy taste alot better to me.
One thing I love about this place is that the chicken is not as salty as KFC and not as oily as Popeyes. If you’ve had Mary Browns chicken that’s how I would compare it to, except that Chick-​N-​Joy is much cheaper than Mary Browns.
They have a wide variety of items you would find at a chicken joint; sandwiches, nuggets, fingers, chicken pieces, and hot wings. They also have a special deal for every day of the week which is nice instead of your standard toonie tuesday that doesn’t even cost a toonie anymore. For sides you have a choice of fries, wedges, and salads, but this is the only place that offers white rice as a side. Its not on the menu but if you ask any of the servers they will give it to you. Overall great chicken join with great food.
Items to definitely get:
— 10 piece dark meat chicken for $ 10.99
— hot wings
— white rice
