Daddy’s Chicken

After facing a sudden closure at its original storefront down the block, Daddy’s Chicken found a second lease on life by setting up operations inside Wei Bar at the corner of Queen Street East and Boston Avenue. This neighborhood favorite specializes in heavy-hitting comfort food, operating primarily as a late-night kitchen concept that brings its signature style back to the heart of Leslieville. The vibe blends a relaxed east-end watering hole atmosphere with the sizzling output of a dedicated fried chicken operation.

First-time visitors can expect an indulgent menu centered around massive fried chicken sandwiches, wings, and loaded snack boxes. Standout items include classic and spicy fried chicken sandwiches alongside creative variations featuring distinct toppings, complemented by sides like fresh-cut fries and onion rings. Because food is prepared fresh to order, expect a short wait during peak evening rushes. The kitchen opens in the late afternoon and serves deep into the night from Thursday through Monday, making it a prime destination for late-night cravings whether dining inside the bar or ordering online for pickup and delivery.
