If you can ignore the sketchiness of this neighbourhood you will find that this place is a great deal for a filling meal! Wait wait let me try again...
There is a little dive gem in this colourful neighbourhood were you can buy half a chicken with spaghetti in a large container for around $10! You get a generous portion of rotisserie chicken with another generous portion of spaghetti. I'm pretty sure you can get fries and gravy instead of spaghetti but I've never got anything but the spaghetti when I get the chicken. The chicken is solid, the spaghetti not so much but very filling.
The BBQ chicken sandwich and the roast beef sandwiches are ok but I've really only stuck to the chicken meal for the sheer value! If I don't finish it I have another meal later! -

Ok. First things first. The other reviews both bothered to point out the sketchy location of George's Chicken. It's true, it's on one of the bad corners in Cabbagetown -- but that's the beauty of this hood: where millionaires and crackheads collide in a perfect (and SAFE) harmony.
The chicken is good, the fries and gravy are great, the sides are cheap and average. Basically, you can get something here that is WAY better and half of the price of Swiss Chalet or KFC.
I'll be back! Cluck cluck. -

To me, George's represents the perfect Toronto food experience. The food is not only extremely tasty but pretty cheap and generously proportioned. Also, there is always the chance you could get shot, which I think is the most important part.
Based on the activity inside the restaurant, you'd swear that George's was a front for some kind of crime-based operation but all I can say is, if it is, it's a hell of a front. This food is great.
The best deal on the menu is surely the 1/2 chicken spaghetti, which is literally a huge take out container filled with a 1/2 a chicken and a ton of spaghetti. The chicken is rotisserie and predictably delicious. Greasy, tender and incredibly flavourful. I think it's about $10. What a deal!
If you're either not as hungry or just in the mood for a sandwich I'd recommend the chicken sandwich. Simple, delicious. Very similar to the chicken sandwich at Kathy's Corner.Listed in: Best Sandwiches in Toronto

George's chicken at this location is in a sketchy neighborhood, with sketchy people on the street corners and no place I would feel comfortable leaving my car.
That being said, no matter how you get to this corner and through the doors (you're on your own for that buddy) the people inside are extremely friendly. The food is cheap, delicious and plentiful.
I want to try their Beaches location because I really don't see myself going back to this intersection (and I would NEVER go there after dark), but in a purely review-the-food kind of way, this is pretty good chicken dinner takeout.
PS... You have to take it out - there is not a single table or chair to be had here.
I think I would rather try a different rotisserie chicken than go back here, but it was okay.Listed in: Rotisserie Chicken

Fries and gravy are pretty good but the chicken was way too dry. Get it covered in gravy and it is a bit better.
I would almost rather get one of those pre-cooked chickens from a grocery store.
