Read a bunch of great reviews so it lured me in, i got Dave's #2 with a pop. The total came to 25$ and was by far the saltiest thing I've eaten in the last year. The chicken was dry and the seasoning was extremely salty, the fries are good but that's if you don't mind only getting a literal handful of fries. Do not waste your time and money going to this place. Go down the street and get subway instead.

I just went to the location in midtown Toronto - 15 minutes before closing and was told quote on quote "that I would have to wait a very long time to receive my meal". I asked how long and they said just a very long time. in the future for restaurant chains... if your staff don't want to serve customers because they are closing SOON, just close the restaurant rather than give a few people who were excited to try your product a terrible experience. I ended up not purchasing because it was clear they did not want me there. Sha... read more

My experience: I should have followed the red flags and shouldn't have ordered anything after thinking the chicken looked bad. It's nearly 20$ for what taste like (in my opinion) frozen box food you find in the grocers. I also ordered a milkshake, which just tasted like a bowl of icecream that had been sitting in the sun for too long - it had a really weird texture and I couldn't even finish it Maybe some people like it, but I think it's fair to say that it's empty every day I walk passed it for a reason!

I went in out of curiosity for their chicken. Then, I decided for the milkshake instead since the fries looked like something from a cheap plastic bag from your local big box store and the chicken did seem that great. I can ensure you I doubt I will ever find worst thing. I was expecting a REAL milkshake, but they just poured something disgusting from a machine that tasted like the worst type of warm melted ice cream. The only reason I finished that disgusting slush is because I seri hate wasting food. However, my body is re... read more
