THG's Hot Chicken
The Specialty

Nashville hot chicken sandwiches, tenders, fries, and mac and cheese

TG's Hot Chicken

Probably the best hot chicken restaurant in the city. TG's does everything right — the chicken itself is excellent, the fries are really good, and the sauce is exceptional. They've expanded their menu to include shrimp and other options, and the consistency across visits is really strong.

What to Order

The hot chicken sandwich or tenders — pick your heat level and go. The fries are a must. The sauce deserves its own mention — it's one of the best things about this place.

Must Try

The hot chicken sandwich with the house sauce. Get the fries on the side.

The Verdict

Solid hot chicken and one of the best in Toronto's halal scene. It's consistently good — not always the most memorable in terms of a single "wow" dish, but the overall quality and reliability put it at the top. The pricing is reasonable for what you get. If you're a hot chicken fan, TG's is where you should be.
