Even the slider is a big portion of fried chicken. So going beyond the sandwich itself, the pickled Cole slaw?!?!?! That just takes the entire sandwich over the top! It's what definitely gives the sandwich a "spicy" kick in your butt! Ordered online, arrived a few minutes earlier, but they were fast! Purchased sandwiches as my "to-go" meal before heading to the airport. It was so worth the quick detour!

Decided to try this little place for something different. In short, it's a fried chicken place you…read morecould compare to pfk. In length, it's not pfk. The menu is mainly chicken but there's also bowl. The decor is like 60s restaurant you could find about everywhere which is nice. There's even 2 arcade near the door. It's a dit down restaurant, not a fast food. They don't get your food to your table but the wait is a good 10 to 15 minutes before the order is ready. This is because everything is freshly prepared and cook in the back so nothing left on the heater (except maybe sides). This place seems to have lots of problem with missing stuff. There was 3 items in the menu (mainly chicken cheese puff I wanted to try) that were not available. They were also out of knife which mean when a family ask for some, the chef came out from the back with his own butcher knife and cut the food. Nice but shouldn't be needed (and dangerous). As for the food itself, we tried the tender with oignon rings. I took the red one which are spicy and tasted like beets! Was good. If you like fried chicken, it cannot be more fried than that. The chicken was juicy and the skin crunchy. The oignons rings were few (not even 10 pieces) and cold, which show me it wasn't freshly made like the chicken. You have the choice of a sauce (or you can pay extra). There's about 10 selections from which you can choose. When you take the trio, you can select your side. Popcorn butter, mac and cheese, oignon rings and more. It remind me of chicken guy in the states, but with a smaller menu and lot less dipping sauce. Will I come back? Maybe, it was good, I wouldn't say don't go there specially if you're craving fried chicken (it's better than pfk and less greasy). Every meal are served in a to go box and a real plate. I think they should ditch the box or make them available on the sides cause that create a lots of unnecessary waste.

Will definitely be coming back to try their seaweed fried chicken! 4.5 stars. CAVEAT: although the place gives a fast food chain vibe, it takes about 15-20 minutes to get your number called.

I found that the sandwich had a bit too much mayo but that's not a big deal. The chicken was still tender and flavourful. The poutine was also quite good but I don't like their choice of fries. They're sort of a mixed wavy potato slices. I also tried the side of corn and they are buttered but also very seasoned which is the first time I've seen a restaurant do that. Overall it's not a bad place to eat but nothing too special. Still super happy they opened a fried chicken place in the Mile End though.

The Long Version: My husband and I stopped at Cali for a snack before heading back home to Ottawa. We shared a 4 pieces chicken tenders combo ($18) which came with waffle fries and a canned drink (we got a Fuse iced tea). The chicken tenders were a good size and were lean chicken breast meat. I don't know how they do it but the outside was so crispy and crunchy and the inside was moist and tender. Definitely in the top 5 chicken tenders I've ever had. The waffle fries were great too. Waffle fries are so underrated, lol. The meal came with 2 Cali sauces, which I would describe as a creamy chipotle sauce. Service was pleasant. You order and pay at the kiosk and they ask you to enter your name. They call out your name when your order is ready. There is a bit of a wait since they fry your chicken to order, but it's so worth it. The building has 3 fast-food style eateries. Totopo Tacos is on the same floor as Cali and Sama Sushi is on the lower floor. Totopo Tacos and Cali share the same dining area. I didn't go downstairs so I don't know if Sama Sushi has it's own dining area or not. It feels like a really tiny Food Hall. It looks and feels nicer than a typical Food Court. There's free parking in the shared parking lot. Review #96 (2025)

I waited a very long time to try this place out, as every time I passed by in the last year, this place was Jammed ... a huge line up so never wanted to wait in line for fried chicken. Was in Laval on a Monday and I decided Hey let's try Cali.. I always wanted to try it out but maybe I'll get lucky and there won't be too many people. To my surprise, there was a lot of people but thankfully they were already eating and they've been served so I came in at the right time to get me a chicken burger ! Yaaay! The employees are super friendly and welcoming! The menu is super simple Chicken burger, waffle fries, poutine and mac & cheese that's it .. I think ahahaa So I just ordered the chicken burger trio. With the waffle poutine and boy was it out of this world. The chicken was insanely crispy on the outside juiceeyyyyy on the inside. The Burger: 5+++++ it was the best chicken burger I've had in years like legit one of the top top burgers! Filled with so much flavour. The slaw was amazing! Who knew their pickled cabbage would taste so good in a burger? Their Cali sauce is amazing! The guy even gave me all their sauces to try out was awesome ! Super generous. The trio was like 26$ but I swear the portion sizes are extremely filling and definitely worth the price if you ask me! I recommend this place whole heartedly! Cheers!

This restaurant reminds me of the types of places I used to go to with my parents and grandparents. It just brought back a sense of nostalgia. We got here right when they opened on a Sunday morning and were one of the first tables there. When we told the servers that we were visiting from the US and that Chalet came highly recommended, they took pity on us (rightfully so) and then gave us a 5 star experience. We got the chicken special that came with fries, baked potato, Cole slaw and chicken soup and you cannot forget about the gravy! I'm not a Cole slaw conossieur but it was some of the Cole slaw I've ever had. Very finely shredded and the perfect combo of tangy and sweet. The chicken was perfectly roasted and I was so sad that I was getting full off of all the homestyle sides that I couldn't eat all the chicken. But the gravy? Good god that gravy, it's been weeks and I'm still thinking about it. I'm not even a big gravy person but this was savory heavy with a kick at the end. They gave us multiple cups, one for dipping and one for slipping! Come for the food and service, this place is full of regulars and appreciate the hospitality from our servers (I believe Janet or Janice and another friendly lady!)
