I love this place! The food is so good, and very celiac friendly gluten free! Sadly, they've had to remove their dairy free coconut rice pudding from the menu, but they might consider bringing it back if there's enough demand. For those of us with gluten and dairy intolerances, this was such a treat! The ribs are my favourite... with a side of fries. So delicious!
I love love love this place! My family and I go here at least once every couple of weeks, the staff are always so friendly and attentive. And the home style cooking is fabulous, we just have the best experience everytime we go! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for some good food and a great atmosphere.
I noted a Foolish Chicken Takeout menu on the zomato website. There is no Takeout menu on the actual Foolish Chicken website so I called them.... They said that the takeout was the same menu as in the restaurant. As the zomato menu had different items and different prices than the Foolish Chicken menu, it should be taken down or updated as it is incorrect.

We went to the Foolish Chicken tonight and were glad we did. After 3 weeks of eating out 3 meals a day, their down to earth food felt great. The chicken was tender and tasty, the sides flavourful, and the quantity perfect. While not a fancy restaurant, it had a warm, inviting atmosphere with original art on the walls. The warmth of the waitress matched the place, and we were so glad we went there.
Great place! My family decided to celebrate the end of the semester with a nice dinner. The Foolish Chicken is one of our favourite joint in Hintonburg.
I ordered the soup of the day which turned out to be a lovely curry sweet potato potage. The hint of coconut was pleasant and the heat level was just enough to tingle but not overwhelm. I opted for the chicken garden salad as my main with the house dressing. Nice portion and very healthy. The other members of my family ordered a miscellaneous array of chicken dishes ( with chicken in the name, it's a must). The ribs are also very meaty with a perfect amount of sauce. To cap this wonderful meal, we shared two desserts : Snickers pie and Coconut rice pudding. That pie was divine but I felt like the portion could have been slightly larger( I can be glutton sometimes)
The service was very attentive and personable however there was a bit of a long wait between the appetizers and the mains.
Overall, solid place if you are in the neighbourhood.
We ordered a full rack of ribs and half a chicken for two people and we were stuffed. We had bbq baked beans and fries on the side. The fries were nothing special but the beans were DELICIOUS. I think they could have been the best thing I had there. The ribs were juicy and fall off the bone. Chicken was pretty good too. The bbq sauce here is a bit on the sweeter side (I do like tangy bbq sauce).
Just ate there with family - generous amounts of awesome food, and friendly, excellent service. I'd recommend to anyone. We'll be going back for sure.
A little gem of a restaurant tucked away in Wellington West. Good service, great food and reasonable prices. I had the pulled chicken and it was delicious. I'll be back.
You should visit this place just for the desserts. Seriously, best rice pudding I've ever had, hands down! It's not too sweet and the coconut crumble on top just takes it to another level. It's also dairy AND gluten free which is a rare find in a BBQ restaurant. The cheesecakes are also fantastic, and as expected the chicken is cooked to perfection. I tried the baby back ribs this time and found them tender but the sauce is on the sour side and a tad too runny. Think more vinegar less ketchup in terms of BBQ sauce. Their "fries" are more like very thin wedges which aren't as satisfying, but the waiter was hilarious and overall I had a great experience. I will be back again for that rice pudding!
Serious Chicken!. This is a real fun place that knows how to feed you. The chicken is amazing, the nachos are legit and the cheesecakes are a blessing. The owner is a gentleman and he has built a real comfortable place to bring friends, family or a date.
Great food, high quality, very fair price. I ate here, again, and why wouldn't I? When you want a great bite, at very reasonable prices, this place is a great choice. All the meats are very well executed, and the service is always very friendly. Not to mention the little things like homemade soups and killer homemade desserts.
Cute atmosphere/space and really great food.
Good food and tasty gluten free options (and a good amount of options!). Service is great, great seasonal cocktail menu and big portions, great value and all around really good experience!
Order for Pick Up: Dr. Pepper Chicken Sandwich and half dark meat chicken meal. Good food. Bun was burnt. A whole pickle spear would be nice as would more coleslaw. BBQ sauce is tasty as is the gravy. Overall a very good meal. Will visit again.
Never heard of this place tell a family member said we were going here for another family members birthday. Small place but the food was honestly pretty good.
Worth the try I’d say for sure.
Amazing Food. Wonderful Service. And many Gluten Free options.
Our friend needs to eat gluten free and they were visiting from out of town. We realized at that point we do not have many places that offer a great variety of gluten free options. Well look no further. They use a separate fryer for their gluten free menu. Ribs, wings, fries, poutine. Not just salad. Our friend was so excited that they ended up ordering more food the next day for there drive back home lol

Very happy we found this place while living in Westboro. Such a gem
Cheesecake delight! We ordered a white chocolate cranberry cheesecake for takeout/delivery. Oh my, was that ever good! The cake was put together with a very careful eye for detail, and one of the best I've ever tasted. Add to this the professionalism of the communications throughout the order (they asked what time we wanted it delivered, they confirmed after they had delivered it, and they sent photos of the cake). Start to finish, a lovely experience. We'll be back again.
Good portions of tasty chicken and ribs! I feel like I can say I had a satisfying meal. It's a great little spot to grab a bite. The staff is friendly as well. Save room for desert... Some tasty cheese cakes to be had.
Absolutely delicious and family friendly to boot! Dessert was absolutely divine and made in house! BBQ chicken (amazing sauce), beef chili soup (perfectly balanced between think and thin), corn bread (sweet but not too sweet and whole pieces of corn too!), snicker pie (yummy, but I think I would've loved it more if the peanuts were smaller), chocolate brownie (because who doesn't enjoy brownies with ice cream?) and coconut rice pudding (surprisingly light and perfect for the summer).
BEST CELIAC FRIENDLY RESTAURANT.
They have a seperate fryer for gluten free orders and the chicken fingers were really good with fries. But make sure to leave room for gluten free cheesecake that will blow your mind. Also great atmosphere, service, and location. Will 100% come again.
