    Tried out a bunch of different things from Grandone's menu. I love how they have a great variety from chicken to seafood options - sandwiches, chicken, wings, tenders and more. The staff were very welcoming and pleasant - 10/10 customer service! The chicken was delicious - flavourful and crispy! The spice level wasn't to high, so it was just perfect for me. My favourite sandwich was fish sandwich - so delicious and flavourful. The chicken sandwich was also delicious and juicy! The shrimp sandwich was my least favourite out of the three - even though it seems like the most popular! It's definitely something unique though - it was my first time trying a shrimp sandwich. The calamari rings were very crispy however a little thin - still really enjoyed it though! Great spot for a fried chicken meal!

    This is a relatively new food stall which opened 2020-12-18. It is located in a food court in the "The Diamond at Don Mills" mall near Don Mills and York Mills. They obviously specialize in fried chicken but they have a few other food. The chicken pieces are much bigger than I expected! Some of the food is spicy but you can ask for original (mild) versions. There is a grand opening special of 50% off the entire order from Jan 5 to Feb 4 when ordered in person. So hurry before the promotion is over! We had the following: - 3 pc Crispy Chicken, $8.99 - 3 pc Chicken Tenders, $8.99 - 3 pc Spicy Chicken Wings - Chicken Sandwich, $7.99 - Shrimp Sandwich, $8.99 - Squid Rings, $6.99 My favourites are Crispy Chicken, Shrimp Sandwich, and Squid Rings because they were so tasty. The Crispy Chicken was indeed crispy with just the right spices and the chicken was juicy. The Shrimp Sandwich had the right combination of flavours including a sauce and corn. The Squid Rings were plump and just the right amount of chewiness and comes with a delicious dipping sauce. The Chicken Tenders and Chicken Sandwich have white meat so we're a little dryer and their dark meat. One interesting trivia is that the owners used to be food delivery people. They put a case of pop cans that are free for any food delivery people picking up orders. The staff were so very courteous and easy to converse with. There is free WiFi. Their WiFi is stronger and fast than the free WiFi at the food court. The restaurant is accessible with accessible parking in the parking lot for the mall. 2021-012

    5+ stars for amazing customer service I had read another Yelper's review and saw that there was a 50% off promotion and decided to give it a try. Opening is listed as 11 am so when I got there just before 11:45 am I was surprised that it didn't look like they were open yet. Apparently they were running behind today and would be open at noon. The man told me that the promotion was over but since I was already there I asked if my order could be taken. After a bit of fiddling with their ordering and payment system and it not working the man wrote down my order instead and asked that I come back just after noon. When I went back there were some takeout bags on the counter so I went to inquire about my order. It'd be another few minutes and I was asked if I wanted mild or spicy fried chicken. There payment system was still not functioning and I didn't have any cash on me. They generously gave me the order on the house! I was in a bit of shock but told them I'd come back another time. I was pleasantly surprised with the shrimp sandwich. There were actual pieces of shrimp and even some veggies in it. I'm not a fan of a lot of sauce in a sandwich and they had just the right amount. I can't handle spicy food and I found that the spicy fried chicken wasn't spicy. It was more like a dusting of spices on top. The chicken was fried well with a crispy skin and juicy meat inside. The fries were the least favourite item. It could be that they weren't eaten immediately and cooled down on the way home.

    This place is currently running a 50% promo until the end of the pandemic!! It's also a non-franchised small business so go, go, go support! I'm not usually a fan of fried food but they have best shrimp sandwich- I finished the whole thing in 2 minutes! I didn't really care for the breaded fish but their fried chicken was also pretty good! Service is also amazing, I highly recommend that you check them out!

    Finally able to come by for some takeout after reading about this place. Plus friends of ours highly recommended us to give this place a try. They are located in the same plaza as the infamous ice cream joint I wrote a review sometime last year (Don Mills, south of York Mills). This place is new and in a food court that is at only 50% capacity. With the pandemic, all the tables and seats are taped off. But it's all good. So we came by to order some food and after browsing their menu, we decided to grab 4 pieces original flavour, a chicken sandwich original flavour and sweet potato fries + onion rings. After 15 mins or so wait, our food was ready. We grabbed it and drove at a "steady pace" home. When we got home, the chicken and the sandwich were still warm cause the packaging was done pretty decently. After 1st bite, the chicken was super juicy. And then I took a bite into the original chicken sandwich, the chicken was very juicy, and its HUGE! The meat tasted flavourful, and I can still taste the chicken. The fries and onion rings are alright? So there were 2 pieces of chicken for leftover, and we saved it for next day lunch. We popped the chicken into the air fryer. The chicken still came out juicy!!!! We were shocked! Leftover fried chicken still tasted like it was freshly out of the fryer. You guys are amazing! We are coming back.

    During this pandemic, I am even more picky about my food options as I don't want to waste any of my calories!This is already my second time coming to Grandone. As I am typing this, I have to share my joy with my fellow Yelpers, I am eating my second shrimp burger. Totally worth the wait and getting fat for. The batter is light and as you bite into the burger, you can taste pieces of small shrimps with corn inside. The flavour is what makes it even more phenomenal, a little bit spicy with the thousand island sauce. For fast food, it's hard to find a lot of seafood options, but this is definitely the place! The shrimp burger is definitely a must try!

    A new joint offering a 50% off all menu items spot opened up...well ya know where I'm going! It's located in a weird spot - inside a "food court" area in a strip mall on Don Mills. Lots of free parking, and you can wait inside while they prepare your order. Since they make it fresh, be prepared to wait 15-20. I ordered the Shrimp sandwich and the 3 piece spicy fried chicken. The Shrimp sandwich is pretty good - shrimp patty (there are real pieces of shrimp inside), cheese, thousand island sauce - make it the perfect after work bite. At half price I think I paid around $4. The fried chicken- the spicy isn't that spicy. It's like some spicy dust coating on it, not fried into the batter. The fried chicken is crispy and not greasy, and juicy. I even had a piece leftover for the next day and it retained it's crisp! For half price- definitely a good option. The staff person is so nice. It's a small place so I think maybe only 1-2 employees. Just been opened a month. Hopefully they can survive the next few months, it's tough out there for small restaurants!

    I finally had a chance to visit this place for lunch, and I'm glad I did. They're still running their 50% off promo which is great! I got the chicken sandwich and onion rings. Chicken sandwich: pretty good, decent size chicken but I think it was dark meat? I didn't mind, just wasn't sure. Comes with cheese, lettuce and mayo. Onion rings: standard rings, hard to mess these up. I hope to get back here soon to try the shrimp sandwich, it looks like it might be the thing to get!

    Location/Service This place is located in a new strip plaza (along Don Mills), right beside LA Fitness. It's inside a food court (next to Woffles and Cream). Plenty of parking and seating available - obviously can't do indoor seating right now, but nice to know it would be available in the future. Staff were friendly and nice - and I like how they have contactless payment. But it was very difficult trying to order via phone - the line was constantly jammed (even at different times), perhaps it was just the volume and the new promos they are introducing. Food Ordered the 3 pc crispy chicken (original). Loved it! The chicken pieces were big in size - the skin is crispy (like its name) while the meat is still juicy and tender. I also don't feel like overly fat/oily compared to other places that do fried chicken. Also tried the chicken sandwich - originally I wanted to order the shrimp one - but miscommunication through the masks. But nevertheless, it is also very good too - with similar tastes and consistently as the fried chicken. This place is a little out of reach for me - but it's nice to see there's more selection and variety near that area. Definitely will have to come back to try the Shrimp Sandwich in the future

    Right now they're having everything except drinks & sides at 50% off so it's great value. But at normal price not everything is worth getting (possibly the promotion affected quality). It's probably safer to stick to the shrimp sandwich, fries & onion rings. In the combos you can change one drink to a side or vice versa, which is welcome flexibility. 2 piece chicken: The chicken was alright. It came with free gravy, which was nice, but the gravy was mediocre - even on its own it didn't have much flavour. Sides are cheap - $1.99 for a regular side & the fries were a good size for the price. The fries were good - crispy & dusted so they had some texture. The onion rings were pretty good. They had quite a thick batter. The coleslaw salad was so-so: a bit raw with a generic dressing flavour that didn't penetrate the vegetables. Shrimp sandwiches aren't common. Theirs was good - crispy & full of whole shrimp, which were quite bouncy. There was not a lot of filler. They give free dips here (but you don't get to choose from all the sauces on the list - I haven't figured out the rationale for which sauces you get free). Kraft sweet & sour was very gingery. The BBQ sauce was on the sharper side, with a prominent vinegar note. It was quite flavourful.

    Always glad to have more options in the area. It's in this food court that's never really gotten going since it's opening, but that's another review. Chicken was pretty decent. Spicy wasn't that spicy. They cook to order so be prepared to wait.

    Grandone recently has been the talk in the Toronto food blogger community for the past month, so I though it was time to make a visit to see what the hype is all about. Grandone offers a selection of comfort food items ranging from fried chicken, sandwiches (fish, chicken, even shrimp), and seafood. For a place that prides itself in their fried chicken, I couldn't resist trying them out. The seasoning on the chicken was solid, I felt the meat could have been seasoned more as the taste was suble upon each bite. The skin was fried had a nice crunch with a hint of sweetness to offset the paprika. The chicken tenders were moist and juicy, which is not an easy feat to achieve with white meat. The fried sole filets were flaky and not overcooked. The shrimp sandwich was a unique combination of plump pieces of nicely cooked shrimp with peas and corn adding a pleasant texture to the patty. The staff at this place were very friendly and courteous, even as the orders started to pile in for the dinner rush. They always ensured to update customers who have been patiently waiting for their orders, which is a nice gesture on them to ensure each customer gets freshly prepared food. They now offer a 50% special off everything on their menu until February 28, 2021. So, be sure to check them out!

    Reason for Visit: Saw the new fried chicken 50% promotion with super high reviews so decided to give it a try. Their promo ends at end of Jan 2021. Menu: I got their 16 pieces fried chicken special + fish burger. Fried chicken- it was a crispy light crunch. Not as oily and spicy as Popeyes. I enjoyed it, I felt it was less greasy too. However, I definitely still think Popeyes is more flavorful. As other Yelpers mentioned the pieces were huge. Fish burger- the piece of fish was huge! My bun did get a bit destroyed, but it is okay. Taste was on point. Service: Unfortunately, it was very tough to even get a hold of them to place an order over the phone. However, I would encourage others to be patient as they are very busy right now. Overall: Highly recommend. I hope they extend their 50% promo! Will try to visit again to try their other flavors.

    Fish sandwich.  Don't let the look of it deceive you, highly recommend!

I'll try to be descriptive! The restaurant is really pretty. I like the decor and clean look and feel. Servers are really nice and super attentive. They noticed we had a toddler and gave us options for cutlery and cups to make sure whatever they gave him was safe. I loved that! They also were able to easily accommodate a gluten free requirement. We got the grand appetizer platter to share which was really good. Lots of variety and the sauces that came with them were great. I particularly liked the fried calamari and the spring rolls. My family devoured the triangle tofu pieces. The shrimp skewers were also really nice. Well cooked and seasoned. The coconut soup was light and flavorful. It's actually a great portion in those square bowls. We ordered 3 pad thais for our huge table and there was not really much left over. Noodle texture was nice and chewy and the flavors were sweet, tangy, and savory. I kinda wish it was more noodles to meat, which I know is probably opposite of what most people like. But I really really like noodles and basically just want noodles hahaha! We also tried the stir fry glass noodles. I absolutely love glass noodles so I'm very biased to say I enjoyed it a lot. It was savory and a bit spicy. I liked all the veggies they mixed in there for more texture and taste. It has a really good stir fry flavor too. We also ordered the massumum curry which was really creamy and flavorful. I really enjoyed that one mixed with some rice or into my noodles. It's not too spicy, a bit nutty and sweet. I'm a huge fan. We went with chicken for almost everything and my only feedback really about that is that the chicken was really over cooked and dry in some dishes. The few dishes with shrimp were nicer and maybe next time I would try beef. Over all, would come back! Then maybe I can take photos before I eat. Haha!!

After sitting at a table on the patio for a couple of minutes, I realized they forgot my coleslaw. I went back in and got it. No problem. Suppose I had driven away? Hmmm...

The cutlet itself was breaded well, crispy and the chicken was juicy. The price is kinda steep so if it would've been a lil cheaper I'd award 5 stars. I'm keen to try some chicken fries with cuttlefish or tomato powder on the batter next time. It's a relatively chill spot and I don't think it's as well known as it's competitors, Monga or Hot Star, but it holds its own imo.
