Harlem Underground
745 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M6J 1G1Get a feel for the Deep South with Southern-Fried Chicken and Waffles. The dynamic duo of crispy fried chicken and sweet buttermilk waffles, with scotch bonnet-coriander-lime syrup and homemade gravy, is available at both dinner and brunch service. The true standout - and insta-worthy selection - however, is The Bloody Jerk. While the cocktail itself sounds par for the course (vodka, Worchestershire, Jamaican jerk bitters, Harlem hot sauce, horseradish and Clamato), it’s the garnish that will wow the crowd: Harlem's Signature Mini Chicken n’ Waffles, candied plantain and deep-fried pickle.
Home Of The Brave Inc
589 King St W, Toronto, ON M5V 1M5There are a ton of places to get chicken and waffles (in fact, that's a whole separate Best Of) but what makes HOTB stand out is they go the extra mile and do sourdough waffles. Served with crispy fried chicken, sour cream, spicy maple and green onion, you've got yourself one heck of a meal.
Junked Food Co Inc
507 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5V 2B4If you prefer savory over sweet or you're looking for something a little more extreme in your waffle choices, Junked Food Co.'s waffle sandwiches (The Pulled Junk for example), might be for you: a light and crispy housemade waffle gets stuffed with Dr. Pepper pulled pork, cheddar, pickles, slaw and Jolly Rancher BBQ sauce.
Starving Artist

Flock Restaurant
330 Adelaide St W, Toronto, ON M5V 1R4Flock’s chicken is seriously addictive. Once you try it, you can’t stop thinking about it. The waffles (available for weekend brunch), accompanied with blueberry compote whipped cream, maple syrup and chicken, are simply a must.

Café Boulud
60 Yorkville Avenue, Toronto, ON M4W 0A4Chicken and waffles is often seen as casual grub, but at Café Boulud the dish gets elevated to elegant and sophisticated for Sunday brunch.

The Ace
231A Roncesvalles Ave, Toronto, ON M6R 2L6Wouldn’t it be nice to be surprised for once, and not know what’s on the menu until you get to the restaurant?
