I can't believe I notice this palace until recently. Deep fried chicken was delish. You can choose regular or spicy. I went with spicy; batter was nice and crispy. They have daily specials. Definitely recommend this place if you are in the are and craving fried chicken. Tue and thu specials are the best. read more

Krispy's Kajun Chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Markham, Ontario

The chicken is large in portion, way larger than Popeyes and it tastes WAY better than Popeyes too. I was just at Popeyes the other day so it's recent comparison. I got 5 tender dinner combo, came with a biscuit, side and drink(can). The tenders were fresh, lean and not overly greasy, they were huge and crispy as well. It was ALL MEAT NO EXCESS BATTER!! Fries were on the older side (as in storage, not freshness out of the fryer), tasted mushy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Not a fan of the mushy flesh but it gave it a curly fry type of vibe. The biscuit was fairly dry, tasted like an almond cookie and crumbled upon biting but it may be because I went mid day and no one was there. Can't complain. Ketchup tasted funny, I'd avoid the packet ketchup, the sweet and sour sauce was alright. It had a different vibe than the red one you get at the Chinese restaurant. This was lighter, more like a plum sauce with a light sour taste Nonetheless the chicken was banging which is why this place gets 5 stars. I have to say this place is by far the best chain fried chicken restaurant in Markham. I'm not talking restaurants that charge $15 for a piece of fried chicken, strictly chains. read more

Krispy's Kajun Chicken - Pictures do it justice, chicken is huge, thigh was the size of your hand when it's open - Fast Food Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I came here after 8 pm, all biscuits are sold out. I picked up Thursday special $3.99 for 3 pcs chicken and $0.99 side dish or drinks. I choose regular and spicy chicken, I like the spicy one and not too hot. Their chicken is juicy and not so salty, their fires are amazing! I will come again and try their biscuits. read more

Krispy's Kajun Chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Chicken here is delicious. I like that the coating (skin?) is thinner than at Popeye's - I tend to feel a bit sick while eating Popeye's because their batter layer is so thick. However, my brother is a huge fan of Popeye's (particularly the greasiness... all the stuff I hate) and even he's converted. Love that they swapped my biscuit order (which they were out of) for an extra piece of chicken. It was very thoughtful! Will definitely be switching my fried chicken business to Krispy's. The lower price is a great bonus ;) read more

Family/ local run chicken place that offers good value. Its more of a take out place. Don't let the interior and employees fool you. Was skeptic all at first, but was pleasantly surprised. Call ahead to avoid a wait, as they make the fried chicken fresh when you order the multipack, which is a plus! As others have noted, the customer service stands out. They seem to always throw in a couple of "bonus" pieces when you order the family pack. read more

Popeye's vs churches vs. krispy's - all of them. Ranked I'd say 1. Krispy's , 2. Churches, 3. Popeye's. Krispy's spicy chicken could use a little more heat, but I like that they don't hide their chicken in a lot of batter. It's kinda hit or miss with them. There was a time before where you could tell that they took the time to marinate the chicken before they cooked it because you can taste the spice all throughout the meat. Today's order was a little different as it tasted a little less spicier but it was freshly cooked and very juicy. All their sides are good, tasty but not too grandiose that it overshadows the chicken. Prices are reasonable and you can tell that it's a local favourite. It's not something I would eat everyday but yes, it can be a go to place for fast food. read more

Ordered the Chicken Burger there, their chicken was great, I can tell they were trying to copy Popeye's with their sandwich. I wish they didnt and would go for a softer bun. I hate the Popeye's bun. Place wasn't too busy when I went there on a Friday. read more

We went to this chicken resto today for take out because of the good reviews here at Yelp. We are looking for something better than Popeye's. What a crap! $12.99 + HST for 7 pcs and all you get are 3 small pieces of thigh and 4 small pieces of leg! Waste of time and money. The cooks didnt even wear hairnets and beardnets! Could you imagine the big chance of hair contamination on your food? Mashed potatoes ($4.49 + HST) with gravy seemed to have been made yesterday. Be warned, don't waste your time and money here. Or else, you will regret it. First and last visit. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

It is the best fried Chicken I have ate in my life, if you were to combine KFC delicious chicken and Popeyes crunchy chicken you would get Krispys. Price- the prices are very cheap and they have daily deals like Popeyes. Staff- are really cool and friendly So if you are craving Fried chicken and you are near this place you have to go read more

Been here many many times as piano class is in the next plaza! Anyways, the food here is definetly pretty good! This time, ordered the 3 piece tenders with fries + popcorn chicken. The tenders are definetly juicy and crisp, but fries were limp and had a bit of a weird aftertaste. It didn't really taste that "kajun" but it did have the regular paprika, salt, pepper flavor and was adequately seasoned. The popcorn chicken is awesome! Juicy "real" chicken, not that KFC puree stuff. Big pieces, and you could see the juice if you squeezed it. Batter was a bit oil logged but was nicely crisp. Curiously, the batter was a bit bland while the meat was flavorful! Usually it's vice versa. If you're here, definetly order popcorn chicken instead of nuggets, it's juicier, cheaper, and I find the nuggets are sometimes dry unless they're straight out of fryer! Now, the staff is very nice. I think a lot of regulars come in as while I waited a few people came in and ordered but the staff called them by name, asked how they were, chatted, etc. Food came out a bit slow (10 min) but this was at 8:45pm so it might be they had to make fresh stuff. Overal, it's good. read more

Krispy's Kajun Chicken - Chicken Tenders 3 Peice Monday Special 3.79 - Fast Food Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Came here on a Friday to grab a quick bite to eat. The restaurant isn't very crowded; it's more of a takeout place, but there are tables if you want to sit and eat there. The fried chicken is bomb, and with specials giving 7 pieces for $13 (mixed pieces of breast and leg), it's also cheaper than both Popeyes and Mary Brown's. (The special is a dine-in special, but they offered to give it to us to-go.) The chicken was crunchy and juicy, and it was still hot from the fryers. The portions were also pretty good. The Cajun fries are more substantial than Popeyes and are a nice addition to the chicken, but I could've used a little more seasoning. Overall, I'd definitely come back. Glad I found a solid fried chicken place around here. TL;DR: A good fried chicken place for takeout. Good deals; fresh, crunchy chicken. Better than most franchises. read more

ILOVEMAKONNEN was probably talking about Krispy's Tuesday special when he wrote the song 'Tuesday'. If you don't already know, Tuesdays are when dreams come true as the Louisiana Cajun 2piece is $2.89 with a choice of a 99cent side. You're welcome. Me and my homeboys ordered 4 Tuesday specials with 2 sides of Cajun fries and let me tell you those Cajun fries should not be treated like a side ting. They were so fluffy and pillowy I could sleep on them, escape the gruelling tribulations of life, and never wake up. Now, even if you "don't eat spicy", PLEASE order the spicy chicken over the mild. I think the spicy seasoning is laced with crack cocaine or Tupac's ashes or something because it had me ravaging over the leftover bits in the box like a proper savage. Overall, 10/10 recommend. Krispy's is not the place you take a girl on a date to get to share your hopes and greatest dreams and have wholesome conversation. Krispy's is a haven where you sit in comfortable silence with your day 1's and indulge in some Southern comfort. read more

Krispy's Kajun Chicken - God's gift to man - Fast Food Near Me - Markham, Ontario

One of my favourite fried chicken spots! They're nicely spiced and fried to perfection. Chicken is nice and juicy, and portions are larger than you would get St the franchise fried chicken places. Hubby usually picks up on his way home from work, and it's still nice and hot because they make it fresh. It's my guilty pleasure and I usually think of this place on Thursdays because of their special $4.99 for 3 pieces and for another $1 get their amazing Cajun fries. I can barely finish the 3 pieces and fries but because it's so delicious, it has to be done. Definitely prefer this place over Popeyes and KFC. read more

Across the street from Markville mall's Walmart where Popeye's used to be, I happened upon the best fried chicken I've had in many years! The batter is lighter than most, crispy, not very salty, but the meat was moist, tender, and had a nice balance of marinate and chicken taste. Fried chicken that taste like chicken, imagine that! I've been to the Stockyard, and I have to say by far this is my new favorite. In case it matters to you, Krispy uses hand slaughter Halal chicken. Goodbye, KFC, so long Popeyes. Krispy is my new fried chicken place. read more

Krispy's Kajun Chicken - Krispy's Fried Chicken ... yummmy - Fast Food Near Me - Markham, Ontario

First time and won't be the last. Omg. So much fresher and crispier than Popeyes. We had the chicken pieces, spicy is not really spicy. Just very flavorful. Everyone needs to try this out if in the area. We will definitely be returning! Great friendly service. Full support for family owned businesses! read more

Went in for Toonie special - 2 piece chicken for $2.89. This place is a flooey Popeye's (knock-off) Every item on the menu is identical to the bigger chain. However the quality of food wasn't. The chicken was dark brown instead of that golden coating Popeye's has. It is probably because this is a family ran restaurant (owner is cashier), i could tell from her attitude. She is probably a very nice lady- but i got a very frugal energy from her off the bat. Seems like even though they have the same formula as their former franchise- they don't have the same standards and it was obvious they use their oil longer or do not filter it as often. I could tell from taste and from my experience working in fast food during my teenage year- not changing oil is extremely unhealthy and bad tasting! Most likely won't be back.! read more

WARNING: THIS PLACE IS BETTER THAN KFC & POPEYES PUT TOGETHER !!!! Came 2 days ago and ommggg. I'll never eat at Kfc/Popeyes ever again because of the quality of their food! 1) Krispy's chicken sandwich is juicy and fresh, NEVER DRY. 2) Their chicken pieces are not oily or greasy; they are very juicy in fact and their chicken piece are big and have lots of meat on them, unlike kfc. And you can actually eat the skin unlike Popeyes lol. 3) They live up to their name when they say KRISPYS. 4) Kajan fries BOMB. I dream about them haha 4a) Biscuits are so sexyyy 5) Excellent/Fast customer service read more

It didn't take long for the food to be ready and before long, I was crunching my way into the fried chicken. We chose two pieces of the chicken to be mild and two pieces to be spicy. I really liked the spicy version. It had just enough kick in the spice for it to be so flavourful and delicious. I absolutely loved the crunchy skin of the chicken as well. It reminded me of KFC's flavourful chicken except that this one was even crunchier. The pieces were a good portion too. The chicken meat under the skin was very tender, moist, and juicy. I loved this fried chicken! It was one of the best fried chicken I've ever had! read more

Krispy's Kajun Chicken - I had the chicken wing deal. It was juicy chicken and the fries have a slight spice to them. For a fast food joint is was very good! - Fast Food Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Have been to this joint several times over the years. The chicken is usually good but not always. So the quality is dependent on the time of day you arrive for your order. They are better than Pop-eyes and KFC, their fries are seasoned and very tasty, chicken is fried just right meaty and juicy. The only shortfall is the attitude of the people serving you - on a Saturday afternoon in the summer we arrived to order and stood at the counter for 2 and a half minutes, yes I time them, and didn't get any service. They had some 20 year-olds and teenagers fooling around in the kitchen. We left empty stomached not to return for awhile. On another occasion we went in 30 minutes before their closing at 10:00PM on a weekday. The place was half full. seems like locals descend on the place to get their end of day "specials" at a discount. Be warned - there is no semblance of order, people who were seated had priority - they were just too lazy to stand in line like the rest of us. I am a little naive, we didn't come here for the "specials", we were running late after a Tae-Kwon Do class and hungry, just like the other "squatters". We weren't used to the anarchy that ensued - people yelling out that they're next and then no I'm next, etc.,etc. Minus stars for their management for failing to police this situation in a proper manner. On several occasions, we were asked to do them a favor because they didn't want to fry up a fresh 2 or 3 pieces because they were "short" - we received nothing in return, not even a small order of their fries nor a biscuit. We wouldn't have minded the wait time. On one occasion, a stout, older woman was at the cash; must have been owner or partner in the business, took our order - she was monotone, cold and distant, not really happy. Bottom line, their employees need training in dealing with the public. Policies need to be spelled out, situations like the aforementioned need to be handled properly as not to frustrate the customer. Do try their food despite these minor failings. read more

Pieces are big, very crispy on the outside yet still super juicy and tender on the inside. read more

Krispy's Kajun Chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Super tasty! 10/10! I ordered the chicken combo with fries and a biscuit. Chicken was juicy, so fresh and krispy! Biscuit and fries were great. I ate every bite! Highly recommended! read more

I ate here yesterday. We ordered 2 3-piece Thursday daily specials for $4.99 each. At Popeye's, it is $5.29, so 6% difference. Their website hasn't been updated and that will only annoy people as it says the price is $3.99. Though the chicken was sitting there under the heat lamps, it turned out to be juicy and tasty. I always worry about eating food that is not fresh. It might have been sitting around for a while, but whatever they are doing to keep it hot and delicious, they are doing it right. It doesn't taste straight out of the fryer, more so with the fries but it is very close. 4.0 stars read more

This place is great! Their chicken is nice and crispy with plenty of flavour. Their chicken tenders are massive. Their chicken popcorn is also great! I also like that their prices are very competitive. I love going! read more

This place is awesome! Amazing food and great service, will be coming here from now on, for cheat meals and anytime I crave some great chicken and awesome sides! read more

Came here for lunch, ordered 3 pcs chicken tenders, 4 pcs dark meat, Cajun fries, rices and beans, and a biscuit. $15.25, pretty good price. Everything was made to order, wanted to order rotisserie a chicken, told me have to wait 30 minutes and next time to call and order ahead. Another customer walked in and wanted Cajun fries poutine, fries are also made to order - so everything comes really fresh. The chicken tenders was the special of the day, $3.99, they were really good deal. They ended up being really tasty and perfectly crispy. Nice big pieces too. Fried chicken was the super juicy, the juices were dripping right out as we were eating it. The batter wasn't too thick but super crispy!! I would also say the Cajun fries were not bad either, but not the best. Definitely better then Popeyes and KFC, would recommend you try this place if you like fried chicken!!! Just make sure you order ahead. Since everything is made to order, I'm excited to try their rotisserie chicken next time. read more

It's alright. I'd put it right in the middle for me for fried chicken. It'd be nice place to go to if you're sick of maybe Popeye's or something, but it's not as unique as say Chick n' Joy. Either way solid local chicken spot. read more

Better than KFC and Popeyes. Hands down. Can't beat the Tuesday deal. Juicy and crispy skin. Really suits my friends' halal needs as well since not all Popeyes outlets make their chicken in a halal friendly way. read more

Absolutely love this spot for fried chicken. The coating is extra crispy and the chicken is tender. This place is way better than Popeyes for sure! The fries are amazing, reminds me of Popeyes fries from back in the days. Definitely need more locations around GTA. read more

Fuck Popeyes! Support your local chicken stores. Definitely belongs in the pengest munch. Better price point with no sacrifice of taste. A bit oily but what do you expect, it's bathed in oil to get cooked. read more

Sorry Popeye's. Sorry KFC. KKC is soooooo much better. The only side we like is the onion ring though so we don't get a combo. We just get the chicken and one onion ring. read more

Affordable, fast, and tasty. Don't need much more to recommend it. I inhaled the chicken sandwich and Cajun fries. They have daily deals which are worth checking out. Would definitely come back. read more

If I lived near here I would go everyday! (Okay not really, there only so much fried chicken a girl can handle.) But, the friend chicken here is amazing! Just go go go! read more

I'm a bit mixed on this review. I would like to give the food four stars. The chicken was really good. Crispy, fresh and very juicy chicken. The biscuits weren't bad but a couple seemed to be cooked a bit too crisp. Now what peeved me off is I went in to order the 12 piece meal. 12 pieces of chicken, two large sides and 6 biscuits. I told the guy 6 regular and 6 spicy. For the sides I got fries and rice. I got home and discovered that the guy gave me all dark meat !! That's total BS. Popeyes and KFC do the same thing. I was told at one KFC unless I specify I'd only get dark meat. So why do chicken places rip people off by giving them the cheapest pieces of chicken. Next time I go into one of these fried chicken places I'm going to tell them I only want white meat. I bet they'll refuse..... What these places should do on the menu board is specify what pieces of chicken you'll be getting !! For example: 12 pieces of chicken -3 legs, 3 wings, 2 thighs, 2 ribs, 2 breasts. That way there's no surprises and the customer knows exactly what they'll be getting. Stop ripping us off !!! read more

I order the 4 PC Combo with Cajun Fries ($9.19) and it was really good. The Chicken wasn't too oily and it was crispy indeed. The staff was friendly and prompt. They have specials daily. Worth a visit. Good place to sit down and enjoy some good old Fried Chicken. read more

The fries are over cooked, close to burned. The butterfly shrimps are also overcooked. The chicken tenders are OK, just OK

This is my go to place for fried chicken. Real halal meat and I think the prices are slightly cheaper than Popeye's. Also it seems less greasy as well. read more

Straight up delicious fried chicken for totally fair prices. What more can you ask for?

So I work pretty close by and I'm always down for some fried chicken. I decided to pop on by to Krispy's looking for some nice fried chicken. The first time I had it I went with a bunch of people and got a family pack. We had to wait a bit for him to cook up a large batch of spicy chicken for us but once it arrived BOY! Was the skin crispy. It was exactly what fried chicken skin was suppose to be. A No holds barred greasefest kinda fried chicken. Hot, spicy, and Krispy (get it???). Unfortunately the gravy and fries had more to be desired. The gravy had a weird consistency and the fries were limp, definitely not Krispy (I wonder how many times I can use that pun?). It is important to note though that fried chicken always tastes great when it's hot and fresh so take this with a grain of salt. I went back for their other deals and had some nuggets which were great. You can really taste the chicken (duh right?) and not the fake stuff. Fries once again were not up to par so it wasn't a fluke that the fries were bad the first time. All in all I still like their chicken which is the main attraction. Their deals usually doesn't come with fries so you can still enjoy a nice deal without having any fries. read more

Chicken is juciy, highly recommend the tenders. i literally go there like everyweek. fries taste like absolute shit though.
