“Poutine is great! It’s a “snack” size so its portion is not really really really huge, it gets the job done. They covered it in so much sauce which is perfection for poutine lovers. I love the fries and cheese curds. Would come here again for a $10 total poutine. I was also told no peanuts in the kitchen for any peanut allergy people. Service is great too, Caroline carrying“

Definitely would come back again!“

“Food and drinks came out very quick, and the quality was exceptional. We went here for dinner on our way to the Leafs game and decided we'd celebrate my birthday as well they did not fail to make me feel very special and even brought us out a dessert. Given how busy it was in there (i think they were telling non reservations it's over an hour wait) I can't believe the speed of service! Our experience was amazing and we will definitely be coming again!! Also super convenient it's located right in the union station!!“

“I really enjoyed getting the delicious Big Mary Original chicken sandwich at the Bloor West location! It was perfectly made with a big crispy piece of chicken in a soft and warmed bun. So tasty!

This location has a large space with bright windows and it wasn’t busy just before noon on Monday. I was there for the Big Mary Monday deal $5!“

“I saw mostly positive reviews but I was a little worried after seeing a handful of poor reviews; after trying it out and ordering 4 different meals with friends, it was absolutely delicious. The chicken sandwich pretty good, but I personally recommend the chicken sandwich double combo, with the two fried chicken patties in the sandwich, a good serving of fries with a drink. Fully halal and loved the environment, 5 stars and would come again!“

“Food pancho sándwich Yess“

“My new favorite chicken! Cleaner. My experience with the American brands are gamey by comparison. Also, not changing your cooking oil with a good frequency is noticeable. They seem to stay on top of that by comparison as well. And good flavor too.“

“It’s better then KFC Cheese stick OMG🤤best I’ve ever had The spicy 🌶️ pastas ou 😋 So I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Marrybrown has always had a reputation for offering delicious, comforting fast food with a unique twist, and my recent visit certainly reminded me why the brand has such a loyal following. While not without its limitations, the overall experience was enjoyable, satisfying, and worth recommending—especially for anyone craving flavourful fried chicken and a good side of coleslaw.

The first thing you notice at Marrybrown is its bright, welcoming atmosphere. The décor is cheerful and clean, designed to give off a fresh and modern fast-food vibe. However, one immediate drawback is the limited seating. The dining area is noticeably smaller compared to most fast-food chains, and during busy hours it can be challenging to find a table. This can make the dine-in experience feel a bit rushed, especially for families or groups. That said, the staff do their best to keep the space tidy and turnover efficient.

Now, onto the highlight of Marrybrown: the chicken. It’s easily one of the best reasons to visit. The chicken is consistently crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, seasoned with a flavour profile that stands out from other fast-food brands. It has just the right balance of spice and crunch without being overly greasy. Whether you opt for the classic fried chicken or their signature spicy version, each bite delivers a satisfying and well-marinated taste. It’s clear that Marrybrown takes pride in maintaining quality and freshness, and it truly shows.

Another standout item is their coleslaw, which deserves just as much praise. Unlike the overly sweet or watery versions often found in fast-food places, Marrybrown’s coleslaw is refreshing, crunchy, and perfectly creamy. The balance of cabbage, carrots, and dressing feels just right—simple but well-executed. It complements the chicken beautifully and adds a nice, cooling contrast to the meal.

Service at Marrybrown is generally quick and friendly, even during peak hours. Staff remain polite and efficient, ensuring orders come out fresh and accurate. Prices are reasonable and competitive, making it a good option for a quick lunch or casual dinner.

While the limited seating can be inconvenient, the quality of the food—especially the chicken and coleslaw—makes Marrybrown worth the visit. For fast-food lovers who prioritize taste over ambiance, this place hits the spot. With a bit more dining space, it could easily reach five-star territory.“

“We had a great experience at the Church’s Chicken on St. Clair West. The service from Lovepreet at the counter was excellent, friendly, fast, and professional. The kitchen staff also did a great job; the food came out fresh, hot, and tasty. It’s always nice to see a team that cares about their customers. Definitely one of the better Church’s locations I’ve visited.“

“Bunz Banned Zone brought to you by Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.“

“The customer service was excellent and we felt welcome. The food was really fresh because the chicken was steaming . Simran showed great initiative when we forgot our buttermilk and sweet heat sauces she brought them across to our table which was a pleasant surprise. I would recommend eating at this popeyes location.“

“Though I didn't take any photos of this amazing meal I received, the food was delicious and excellent. The chicken was tender, moist and crispy and the fries felt fresh and perfectly salted. The experience was amazing overall, with the deep fried chicken being my favorite, and the biscuit as well not being too dry compared to other fast food chains. Aside from the great food, the staff were extremely kind and the atmosphere was great as well. Will definitely visit again! Grateful to whoever recommended me this, not sure who but I'm thankful, I found my new favourite fast food chain!“

“I’m really grateful for finding and keeping my wallet! I only realized the next day that it was missing and called Jollibee to ask about it. The phone connection wasn’t great and I couldn’t hear clearly, but the staff were really nice and helpful~

Thanks to whoever found my wallet and gave it to the staff!

Food review:
The food is amazing too, I reheated my sandwich from the night before and it still tastes great. Jollibee is my go-to spot every time I’m in town. Just can’t miss the chicken!“

“I love Popeyes, but I ordered to take away a Chichen deluxe sandwich and when I arrived at home It was only a bread with chicken (where is my tomato and lettuce) I paid extra for that 😔 so disappointed!.
Also, in another occassion I ordered a soft drink and it came with mosquitos inside, how often do you clean your machines?“
