Chix Eggshop

My first time in CHIX Eggshop I ordered a classic chicken and waffles, which is named CHIX Waffles on their menu. Alongside the first order, I added potato wedges on the side. The seasoning on the potato wedges were delicious! The diner has a calm atmosphere, there was barely anybody there, which I think introverts would like to dine. The second time I went to this diner, I had Bella Benny. The hollandaise was delicious! The only regret I had was that the bacon underneath the two sunny-side up eggs became soggy. All in all it was a hearty breakfast for me! After breakfast though, I discovered a lounge inside. Hang out there for quite a while. No one bothered me which was cool. There is also a billiard table in the lounge, though I don't know if it's free for anybody to play.

Popped in on a Saturday and there were tables open, we had a great causal breakfast complete with table games and endless coffee. Appreciated the order up front approach, made for a stress free brunch for myself with the kiddos.

Should have asked for my Sunnyside eggs well done. Breakfast is ok and will do in a pinch but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. Even if it's right in the hotel.

The food here is so bland. NOT WORTH the inflated prices at all. Good drinks but the food has zero taste. Like no taste at all. This would do wonders in the UK

I came here with some expectations based on the interesting menu and reviews. The menu is very good. It not a large menu with balance. The names of the dishes are catchy. The venue is nice and welcoming. The staff are polite and friendly as expected in Canada. I ordered a cappuccino with waffle and fried chicken. The coffee came instantly so I believe it must have been from a machine. The quality of the coffee was average. The cup size was large as you can see from image, so they were generous with the quantity. To my taste the cappuccino tasted more like a latte it was very milky. Right after having this coffee I walked across the street to Phils and Sebastian and had cappuccino there and I experience a big difference in the quality of the coffee. Waffles and fried chicken I have tried a lot in the states in places like north Carolina, NYC, bay area and Texas. So my judgement could be slightly bias as I experienced some really large size chicken servings cooked in southern style with some tasty seasoning red or orange color crispy battery skin buttery with syrup drizzle on top with the thick waffles spongy inside and crispy outside. Everything was freshly made. The fried chicken here was breast with a very mild seasoning. The breast was dry inside and you taste more of the marination and coating than the chicken meat itself. That was in contrast to the chickens I had in the states. The chicken in the states where southern fried chicken that were definitely nicely brined and marinated giving nice juicy chicken meat. The chicken were whole pieces of thighs or beast with bone and skin. You get the nice crispy chicken skin. All these elements of a good fried chicken was missing. The chicken here almost tasted as though it was from a ready made package. Waffles also average at best. The waffles also tasted like the ones that were ready made package. This is a restaurant at back if alt hotel downtown, I expected more high quality preparation. I am surprised by the rating of 4.1 currently for this place. I may have missed on the other good dishes perhaps. I am in dilemma to go back or not again. Chicken and waffles is a classic breakfast dish. It is not that difficult to get right. But the chicken and waffle was average at best. I would give it a 2.5 rating for this specific dish and coffee. With a little bit more effort this dish can be better prepared. My overall rating is 3/5 including food , venue and experience. I recommend the cook study some chicken and waffle recipes on YouTube to get ideas how to improve this classic dish.

The counter guy and chief are wonderful. I joked that whipped cream ought to be a sauce - they brought me out a small soup bowl of whipped cream. Prefect understand of what I want - better than my own feelings. Waffle and bag of bacon were good too. Order at the counter and take number type of place. Lots of sunny tables with views of the river side park.

Best potato fries we’ve tried in years! Amazing flavours! Ambience 3/5: bit of an old “grease” vibe that doesn’t quite hit the mark! Service 5/5: the staff are all smiles, super helpful and definitely improved my mood with their cheeriness! Response 5/5: despite being super busy and packed when we arrived our order came through with hardly any delay! Value 5/5: very reasonably priced! Overall great experience: highly recommended! Will definitely return/ order through SkipTheDishes!!!

Loved the vibe and the experience! The country style eggs benny and the avocado toast was not good at all. Lacks seasoning and overall flavour. However the Miss Piggy burger was soooo good! Also had some cocktails and that was delicious!
