    Had a hot box on crinkle fries with a medium spice level. It was huge, with quite a bit of chicken which was cut pretty big. Both fries & chicken were fresh, juicy & crispy. The chicken was pretty tasty & the spice level matched the description. The coleslaw was moist enough & crisp enough but the flavour was muted (it probably would be drowned out by the chicken regardless). Pickles were really fresh tasting, moist, crisp & tasty.

    We ordered the half and half of two flavours of your choice. The one with the green onion on it was my favourite, the sweet and spicy one was too saucy for my liking. It also came with some daikon radish that was pickled, a nice addition to the dish. The chicken stayed crunchy well beyond us finishing the dish. The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly. I would go back.

    It's big fat chicken Nashville sandwich. Nice crunchy chicken tender dipped in spicy oil and dusted with multiple level off spice. It goes well with sweet pickle and slaw. Multiple sauces to dip in Definitely give it a try. Service was fast

    Chicken tenders HUGE!!

    Penny's Hot Fried Chicken has opened their 2nd location in the heart of Downtown Toronto, just few steps from Yonge-Dundas Square. Their Nashville-Inspired fried chicken is MASSIVE, CRISPY, JUICY, and WELL-SEASONED. How's that sound?! The chicken is halal as well. Beware of their Nashville Fried Chicken if you choose level 7!! We tried it in Very Hot, Level 5. Featured - a platter of : ** Penny's Classic Sandwich - Nashville spiced chicken thigh, coleslaw, pickles, comeback sauce on a brioche bun. ** Sweet Daisy Sandwich - Honey dipped chicken thigh, sweet jalapeño, jalapeño ranch on a brioche bun ** Animal Style Fries - combination of crinkle and waffle fries, drizzled with comeback sauce, nacho cheese and topped with green onions. SAUCY!! Reminds me of In-n-out! We can add some chili on top! MUST ORDER! ** Jumbo Nashville Tenders - Dip your tenders to their Comeback sauce and Honey dipping sauce. BOOM! TASTY! ** Mac & Cheese Wedges - a delicious sides perfect to dipped it in their dipping sauces ** Pickles & coleslaw ** 6 different kinds of dipping sauces - Comeback sauce, Honey Dip, Jalapeño Ranch, Nacho Cheese, Peppercorn Ranch, Honey Mustard. I can't get enough of this EPIC Nashville Hot Chicken PLATTER. Don't skip on adding their animal style, their honey dip and comeback sauce on the side, SLAP!! If you haven't tried Penny's Nashville Fried Chicken, you gotta do it soon!

    Pretty epic chicken sandwich. I got the penny classic and husband got the hot Mac. He got the spiciest and I look one level lesser. Fantastic flavors - the rub on the chicken is pretty epic. Wow! Next the portion is huge. So we set aside some chicken while finishing the burger portion. The bun is nice and soft and the slaw in mine was yummy. Overall, I think we found a reasonable and delicious no fuss Nashville fried chicken place right in the heart of downtown. Shout out to the manager who's incredibly friendly.

    Penny's Hot Chicken is better than Chick-fil-A and Jollibee. Best fried chicken I've ever had. The jumbo tenders are perfectly crisp and super juicy. Spice level is on point. I've had No Georgie and Pennywise spice levels and I was pleasantly surprised by the spice. Most places that offer "spicy" options are never hot enough for me (including the "hottest" hot sauce at Wild Wings). I've tried the small platter and loaded fries; both were amazing and very filling. I ate my loaded fries for lunch and dinner! The manager, Andy, is also super nice, got some free sauce on the side.

    Delicious crispy and juicy chicken for a fair price. Great fries and great sauces. Service is good

    Hot Nashville chicken sandwich

    A simple take out place if you wanted a fried chicken sandwich that's better than Popeyes and Chick Fil A. I got their hot Nashville sandwich and it wasn't bad at all for a small food stand. The chicken was made fresh and you can see everything that goes on in the kitchen. The chicken was breaded nicely with a good crunch and wasn't dry either. It had a nice side of waffle fries and ranch sauce for dipping.

I tried the Antico Parma sandwich and it was delicious--definitely a spot I'd go out of my way for again. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

I got 3 sandwiches for me and my family (4 people including me). What we ordered: Mona Lisa: 8/10 For both of the sandwiches the bread was very fresh and delicious! They make them fresh for each order and you can taste the quality. The flavours in the Mona Lisa worked really well together, I loved the truffle cream and burrata. Torino: 7/10 This sandwich was also good, but the I felt like it was lacking something, especially compared to the mona lisa. The spicy eggplant just tasted like plain pickled eggplant and wasn't that spicy. I feel like both sandwiches were a bit salty due to the prosciutto, and were missing some sweet or acidic element. I added some balsamic glaze and hot honey at home which was great! The portion sizes are HUGE, the 4 of us were quite full after splitting the 3.

This small little bake shop had a menu hanging up, but I completely ignored it thanks to the baked goods right behind the counter that I was too busy staring at. I knew right away that I was going to order a Chocolate Croissant because, well, I always order a Chocolate Croissant if one is available. After making my first choice, this strange little baked good caught my eye, and it turned out to be something called a Cruffin.......a Cruffin you say? What is a cruffin? WELL, let me tell you. The cruffin is basically like a muffin, but like, with cheese and pepperoni on it so obviously I hate to order that sexy little bad boy right away. This thing wasn't big, but it was very dense and basically tasted like pizza crust which was absolutely delicious. After eating the cruffin, the Chocolate Croissant seemed way less cool but I ate it anyway. It tasted good and the chocolate was actually spread across the whole thing so they get an even bigger thumbs up for doing it right. Overall, COBS Bread was the spot! I had no idea this was a chain, but who cares, this place was great. I really liked the Cruffin I got and the croissant was really good as well. I will absolutely be revisiting COBS Bread when I come back to Canada and devouring a few more cruffins while I'm at it!

It blends a traditional Italian deli style with a modern downtown vibe and is known for fresh panini made with quality meats and ingredients, many imported from Italy. We tried their "Il Padrino" and "Capricciosa" panini, and both stood out with crispy fresh bread and a great balance of mortadella, prosciutto, salami, cheese, veggies, and sauces. The combination of fresh bread, curated deli meats, and flavorful sauces gives each sandwich a really nice touch. Besides sandwiches, they also carry Italian-style groceries like pasta, cheeses, desserts, and drinks, which makes the visit feel like a quick trip to a small Italian market. It's a great stop if you're looking for a simple but high-quality lunch in the Harbord Village area.

Blink and you'll miss this one! It's down some steps and features so outdoor seating as well. I was intrigued when I heard that another Italian cafe/sandwich shop opened near the Annex/Harbord Village. They have a variety of panini style sandwiches with a fridge/freezer of imported items such as frozen meals, meats, dried and spreads, sauces, cake slices and gelato! All the sandwiches sound delicious! Hard to choose! I went with the Alla Romana $16 (Prosciutto from Abruzzo Italy, Semi-dried cherry tomatoes, Balsamic glaze, Fior di Latte). The bread was crusty & warm - all quality ingredients!! The prosciutto & other topping were plentiful. Great flavours. Fresh! You can tell it was made with care. I was surprised at how big the sandwich was. It was cut in two & placed in a take away container which travelled well. The sandwich was still intact and perfect when I got home. The bread has a good crust but was soft inside to be a good compliment for the filling! I did get a piece of tiramisu & a small single serve cup of gelato from the fridge/freezer to be tried later!! I am a big fan of sandwiches with quality great & quality filling and this checks off the boxes. Staff was friendly and the sandwich is a good value given the top quality ingredients. If you've been to Italy you will appreciate inspired sandwiches & pantry items! Quite a few tables to sit down and enjoy your sandwich with a cold or hot beverage. They have a TV with the Olympics on too! The sandwich picture doesn't do it justice! Go see for yourself!! :)

It's family-run, and you can really feel the care they put into everything--from the friendly service to the way your food is made fresh right in front of you.

You can really feel the care and personality behind the space, which added so much to the overall visit. We tried a variety of items, but the Pizza Caesar Wrap was easily the standout and our favourite thing we ate. Crispy, cheesy, messy in the best way, and packed with flavour. Even better, $3 from every wrap goes toward supporting Daily Bread Food Bank through their $30,000 fundraising campaign, which made ordering it feel even more worthwhile. We also really enjoyed the Spicy Ham & Cheese, which had the perfect balance of spicy, creamy, salty, and savoury flavours. The Gourmet French Hot Dog was another highlight with its sweet and savoury flavour combination wrapped in a buttery, flaky croissant. The Four Seasons sandwiches were a fun concept inspired by the Blue Jays, and while the Chef's Choice wasn't our personal favourite, some people at our table enjoyed it more than we did. For dessert, all of the cookies were freshly baked in-house and surprisingly good for a grab-and-go style spot. The double chocolate chip was rich and soft, and the white chocolate cranberry and macadamia cookies were both solid classics. The iced matcha latte with oat milk paired especially well with them, and the iced vanilla latte was smooth and easy to drink. The space itself is bright and open with big windows that bring in lots of natural light during the day. Seating is cozy, but the layout still feels spacious and comfortable overall. Overall, a playful comfort food spot that offers catering with genuinely friendly service, creative menu items, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back.

I agree that the price for a sandwich plus side salad is quite pricey ($13 including tax) but I like the fact that everything tastes fresh and light, and you have alot of options to customize your sandwich in a healthy way. I ordered the rosemary focaccia with chicken breast, arugula, avocado and chipotle spread plus their usual sprinkle of salt, pepper and squeeze of lime. It's like a gourmet sandwich - the bread was thick, soft with hints of rosemary and yummy. The salad was mostly arugula with carrots- this was very lightly seasoned but at least I won't be hit with itis going back to work! Definitely would come again, although not regularly since it's kinda pricey.

I'm going to continue with my overtime take out review series with Sandwich Box. You would think making a sandwich is probably not the most complicated task out there, but this place seems to get it all wrong. My order consisted of an egg salad sandwich on whole grain bread with a side salad. When I received it, I only got the sandwich and the restaurant failed to tell me the salad was no longer included in the combo (yet the price remained the same). That's great that the online menu was not updated to include items no longer available, a simple update would address all these problems knowmsayin? Now on to the actual sandwich, the bread was thick. I mean so thick it looked like there was about a half an inch of eggs inside of two encyclopedias worth of bread. The eggs themselves, totally flavorless and bland. Kinda hard to mess up an egg salad sandwich right? Even Tim Horton's can get that right! To make things short and sweet, I'll be looking over this option the next time I'm working late or considering a sandwich in the downtown area.
