White Brick Kitchen

Cons
The wait. We waited for one hour to be seated and there were only three groups ahead of us. There are very few tables; three booths and a couple of tables for 2. The wait for their chicken waffle is at least 20 minutes but it’s more like a 30 minute wait. So, the brunch here is a 3 hour affair. Be ready to wait.
The extras. Beware that any addition will be an extra 0.50 to have a little sauce and $ 2 to make it hot! This is what is added to the chicken and waffle.
Pros
The portions. They will be big enough even for those who eat a lot. The majority of the tables had a take out bag by the end of their meals.
The taste. The food is pretty good. The chicken waffle was crispy on the outside and still tender and moist on the inside. It also wasn’t overtly salty but still well-​seasoned. The burger with bacon was a tad saltier but if you have a green side, it would be perfect. The chips option though is very good and crispy. The macaroni and cheese option was the least of my favourites. There is also a huge garlic bread that comes with it.
I would come eat here again if there isn’t a wait.

Definitely comfort food. The fried chicken was really good. My girlfriend and I both chose coleslaw for our sides. We probably could have got a different side and shared. The sloppy joe sandwich was alright. The service was good when we were giving our orders, but after that it wasn’t very attentive; we had empty cups for the majority of our dinner. All that being said, we liked it and will probably be back for more fried chicken because we’re fat.

Decided to take a friend for lunch after reading the reviews. Made reservations, fairly easy and got a booth.
Now given it was a weekday lunch, wanted to keep it fairly light, but tempted to try the signature chicken dish for $ 18 + $ 2 to add a sauce. It came with fries that were very dark (burnt) and the chicken was battered bigtime like popeyes but fried alot longer then. I think they have coffee in the seasoning to make it look dark but moist on the inside. The sauce is a sweet sauce not a hot sauce, so not sure why they say make it hot for $ 2.lol. It’s not the best chicken in Toronto by the way:)
As for the $ 11 breakfast for 2 eggs, 2 tiny sage sausage squares, home fries covered in seasoning and toast? Really guys? This dish was not gourmet at all, Boom Breakfast puts out a better spread than that!
Service: the server seemed like a nice guy. .but too bad he was handling the entire restaurant alone during lunch? Not sure if that’s good customer service as he was totally burnt out.
Anyhow, I think three stars is generous — but creativity deserves one!

This is a good restaurant, unfortunately Unilocal doesn’t allow half star ratings. I feel four would be to generous, therefore a 3.5 would be accurate.
Food: Is good. We ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, salad greens and a bowl of chilli. No complaints there. There is a heavy after-​feeling though (stomach wise). Pricing is reasonable. Menu is small, not alot of options.
Ambience: A bit underwhelming. They’re going for an urban diner-​esque type of décor, what with the signs they have up and type of music playing.
Layout: The kitchen is too close to the dining area and open. The smell of food from the kitchen easily seeps int the dining area (lack of proper ventilation). Only plus here is that all the tables are booths. Booths are always a plus for me.
Staff: Nice and friendly. However, our server didn’t pass by during or after our meal to ask how our meal went (or was going).
Would visit again but only if Im in the area again (which isn’t that often).

Dropped in for brunch on a Saturday and was treated warmly by the staff. Ordered the breakfast plate and chicken and waffles.
Would skip the «make it hot option» doesn’t add anything to the already great chicken. Juicy and flavourful on the inside, and very crispy on the outside. Waffle and its accompanying sweet and spicy syrup were so good that I ate more than my share.
Breakfast was solid, potatoes cooked well and sage sausage patties reminiscent of Stockyards style.
You can probably expect a wait here unless you get lucky like us, since this spot looks like it serves about 30 people max.

Straight up five stars, four for the food, one extra for the customer service. I’ve had White Brick Kitchen on my list for a while because of their fried chicken and I was not disappointed one bit. My friend and I ordered the ½ fried chicken with their housemade BBQ chips and hot sauce on the side, and the vegan country captain. When we told our server we were sharing she asked us if we wanted the chicken served on two separate dishes. When it arrived I noticed they’d given us an extra portion of the chips and the biscuit. Very thoughtful of them! The best part of the meal though was the Vegan stew because it was delicious and I never expected it to be that good. The half fried chicken was $ 18, and the vegan country captain was $ 14.5. They also make their own hot sauce and it’s delicious. It’s a good balance of sweet and spicy so if you have the chance to add it to your meal, do it!

Still excellent. Glad to see they have remained consistent. Tried the fried chicken and sloppy joe. The chicken portion was HUGE and the bird was tender and juicy. the accompanying sauce was sweet with a peppery heat that lingered in a good way. For me the standout was the sloppy joe-​the chili was one of the best I have tasted. Nicely balanced, not too acidic and hearty. Service was prompt and our server was affable.

Such a cozy place for comfort food. We really enjoyed every dish we ordered. Service is a little slower than other restaurants but it’s because they make everything fresh so it is well worth the wait.
Got the chicken with hot sauce. Such a great kick. Loved the Mac n Cheese — super cheesy and strong cheesy goodness. The sloppy joe had such good beef flavours and paired amazingly with the beets coleslaw.
Will definitely come back!

Overview: Best fried chicken and waffles!
This place was a great surprise. Decided to try as I’m a huge fan of chicken and waffles. The staff were nice and the atmosphere was cool and casual. We ordered two orders of fried chicken (spicy, one with waffles and spiralled carrots in a vinegrette, the other regular, with salad and biscuits), an order of Joe fries, and Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese was good, portion was average and came with garlic bread. The starts were the Joe fries and fried chicken. The Joe fries are probably the best loaded fries I’ve had. It was hearty with meat and the portion was huge ($ 14). For $ 18, for get half a fried chicken and sides! Anywhere else for that prices you get two small pieces of chicken. The chicken itself was fried well and the meat and juicy, even the breast. The waffle could have been more crisp but that’s me being picky. The biscuits were good and not overly buttery. Overall I’d definitely come back!

BOOM! Fried Chicken. Wow. Colonel Sanders can eat his heart out. This was the best fried chicken I have ever had. We made a reservation. This place is small, but the service is fantastic, smelled like heaven. I highly suggest it. I will be heading back with some of my other friends. Like the other reviews… the menu is small, the place is small… but they do it right!
Congrats to White Brick! Well done.

With 100+ reviews I don’t know what else I can say that’s new. I really just wanted to give them my 4 stars because this place is as wonderful as they say it is! So just go and try it out for yourself :)

Love love love it!!! I feel like I had breakfast in a house w a white picket fence. Great décor. It’s such a cozy place I absolutely had a great time. The mimosa was only 5 bucks and breakfast combo 10 for huge portion of eggs sausage and potatoes. Service was very chill and friendly. They have the nice side patio which is great to sit at on warm days. Great bang for your buck. Does not disappoint

Brunch is my favourite meal, so I’m a little biased. But seriously, for adventurous brunchies out there, it doesn’t get much better than «char siu eggs benny!» Yep — you read that right!
Char siu benedict. Pickled cucumbers on a scotch bap with blue potato kimchi salad — delicious does not do it justice.
And for the less adventurous, they have the standard eggs, bacon, home fries as well to satisfy your brunch cravings.
Everything is reasonably-​priced, the noise-​level is buzzing but still conducive to talking and they’ve a patio, yay!
Took a star off because:
1) Iced coffee was too watery
2) We had to wait forever for our bill. We were sitting in the back so I think our waitress eventually forgot about us. Not a big deal as we were having a good time, but had to wait about 10 – 15 mins.

Good lunch spot! Right when I walked into the restaurant I could smell all sorts of yummy aromas coming from the kitchen, so I knew I had picked a good one. :) I had the joe fries, which were delicious. They were spicier than I expected, even with the spicy mayo on the side, but the flavours went together really nicely and the fries weren’t too soggy, which is a problem I frequently find with chilli fries. The chilli part was very hearty, and the portion was huge! They are probably meant for two people instead of one. I took the rest home. Definitely somewhere I will return. I’m eager to try their fried chicken as well.

The Sunday brunch is so delicious. During the summer there’s a great little patio, though that makes for long lines. In the winter this place isn’t that crowded, though.
The food comes pretty quick, it’s good portions and really reasonable, average prices for brunch.
They also have lunch and dinner but I haven’t tried them, but I’ve seen people eat the fried chicken and the portions are enormous.
It’s a great place and one of my favourite (and most reliable) brunch places in the hood.

After seeing this place on food network I had to visit this place when I had the chance! We came for an early lunch on a weekday so unfortunately my appetite wasn’t quite ready to take on their famous fried chicken so early in the day. But i vow to return for dinner when I get the chance!
For lunch I was debating between the blueberry hotcakes and the sloppy joe. Since my friend ordered the hotcakes I ordered the sloppy joe and stole a few bites of hers. I must say, both of those were fantastic! I was super happy to visit a tv recommended restaurant and have them actually live up to the hype!
First, the sloppy joe. Had to use a knife and fork for this cause they were super generous with the sloppy part of the sloppy joe and it was physically impossible to eat this with my hands in sandwich format. I recommend getting this with the salad (what I did) rather than the home fries. Since the sloppy joe is so rich and flavourful, the added carbs would have been a bit too much. The light salad with a tangy vinaigrette was the perfect complement to the rich and savoury sloppy joe.
The hotcakes was also perfection. They were super generous with the blueberries used in the blueberry sauce and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. Hotcakes were perfectly fluffy and the fresh whipped cream was the perfect way to top it all off. I may even suggest leaving the syrup off. In my opinion the blueberry sauce and whip cream alone were perfect. Syrup may make it too sweet.
Definitely will return to try dinner menu!

Went to the White Brick Kitchen three times in the past 2 months. Twice for dinner and once for Sunday brunch. Absolutely love this place!
We had the buttermilk half chicken ($ 17), green beans (special side, changes often. Added $ 3 on top of chicken) and sloppy joe fries ($ 14). The portions are really big. I packed a doggy bag from dinner both times. The buttermilk chicken is so crispy and fresh. You can choose to make the chicken spicy for an additional $ 2. We didn’t do that because I’m not into spicy food. The green beans were baked with cheese on it, which was unique and delicious. The joe fries were really good. They did not skim on the ingredients. A lot of meat! The sunny side up egg was a nice touch. This dish has a kick so beware non-​spicy eaters!
The second time I went for dinner, I had the chicken again and a side of cider slaw. The chicken is always good and the slaw wasn’t bad. I also had a toffee pudding cake with caramel and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Pretty sweet, but rich and tasty. Good to share with 2 people.
Overall, dinner was great. Only complaint was that the food did take about 20 mins to come both times. I think it’s because the chicken was made to order so beware of this if you are on a time constraint. Definitely worth the wait though.
The brunch is only available on Sundays. We had the turkey croissant (special item, changes weekly, I believe. About $ 14, can’t remember exact amount), Scottish eggs ($ 10) hickory bacon ($ 4) and homemade ginger beer. Everything was so fresh and flavourful! Loved the brunch here!
The food is on the pricier side, about $ 25 to $ 30 a person for dinner and $ 15 to $ 20 for brunch, but you pay for what you get here. Totally worth it. Service is okay. Only two waiters working when we went so it was a bit slow, but they were all super friendly! Will be coming back here again! One of my fave American food places for sure!

Wow you guys, This place is the best of the best!
I have walked by here sooooo many times on my way home and every time I always think to my self «hm gotta try that place sometime!». Well friends I finally have and I am getting some mixed feeling about this place. Only because It is SO close to my house and I have to try and stop myself from eating here every day. It’s that good. I almost wish it was further so I wouldn’t be so tempted!
Anyways I took my boyfriend here for his birthday lunch the other day. He got the burger of the day which was a mozzarella burger that looked and smelt so amazing. I got the club sandwich and honestly I’m not 100% what was all on it but I think magic was one of the ingredients. Yum!
The price was totally worth it ($ 40 ish), usually I’d spend a bit less for lunch but it was a special occasion so why not!
Also staff was A+! Super friendly and accommodating.
I for sure will be returning soon!

I’ve had White Brick bookmarked for a very long time but I don’t like lining up especially for brunch. Finally got the chance to visit and boy was I missing out! The BF and I were up early on a Saturday so we headed down to White Brick. We wandered K-​town before they opened and there was no line up… Yey! But they did fill up really fast.
He got the Sage Sausage breakfast ($ 9) with eggs and toast. He enjoyed the food but thought the eggs were heavy on the pepper. I really liked the unique flavor of the sage sausage.
Always wanted to try their Chicken and waffles ($ 16) and I was not disappointed At All! I love pepper so the seasoning was perfect. Chicken was crispy and juicy, the pickled carrot strings had the right tang, the waffle was fluffy and the little dab of chili jelly added just the right amount of heat. The order was huge so it’s perfect for sharing.
The place is tiny and fills up quick but staff is friendly and very attentive. It’s pricey if you’re looking for basic breakfast but the Chicken and Waffles more than made up for it.
White Brick was so good my bf reminded me to write a review. Will definitely come back.

Buttermilk Fried Half Chicken with Scallion Biscuit and a Choice of Side ($ 17)
That’s the only thing that I need to know and would order from now on at White Brick Kitchen.
The batter is crispy and light with the perfect seasoning.
The half chicken so juicy and tender and fingerlicking good!
Eating this perfect fried chicken while staring at KFC across the street. and now my friend you know why I don’t eat Popeyes or KFC?! I am saving my fat and cholesterol intake for this!
4 Cheese Mac ‘n Cheese with Oven Dried Tomatoes and Garlic Toast ($ 14) was just passable.
Maybe we should have just order 2 orders of Fried Chicken instead?
I will be back more more Fried Chicken!
