Viral fried chicken restaurant to open new location in the Greater Toronto Area

A restaurant that went totally viral for their fried chicken after starting out as a pop-up during lockdowns is now opening their newest location, and it’s going to be in the Greater Toronto Area.

BTRMLK is known for their fried chicken, served in sandwiches, strips and bites. They also make loaded up fries, and while the fried chicken may be the star of the show, BTRMLK has also become well known for their ooey gooey mac n’ cheese.

Their range of dips might be just as viral as their fried chicken strips themselves, with videos of giant, crunchy Nashville hot chicken strips being dunked excessively into tubs of their dips getting hundreds of thousands of views on social media. Their dip flavours are their signature buttermilk, honey mustard, chipotle mayo, Buffalo, honey garlic and honey Buffalo.

“You’ve come to us, now we’re coming to you. Oakville. GTA. We’re ready for you. It all started as a pop-up in London five years ago. No storefront. No big plan. Just a passion for good food,” reads a post on social media from BTRMLK.

“We’re thrilled to announce that we are opening a brand new BTRMLK in Oakville! Over the years, demand from the GTA has been loud and clear, and we’re beyond grateful it’s brought us here. Thank you for believing in what we’re building. This is only the beginning.”

The post announcing the opening of the Oakville location on social media has nearly 1,500 likes and almost 150 comments from people who are very excited about BTRMLK opening a new restaurant in the Greater Toronto Area.

“Oh we’re so excited!!! London is a long drive,” one commenter wrote on the Instagram post.

“Congrats! We still remember those pop-up delivery days, the early beginnings,” another person wrote in an Instagram comment.

“Whaaaat! I love this place been to the London location a couple of times!! The best burgers ever!” someone else wrote enthusiastically in a comment on the Instagram post announcing the new location.

“Our journey began with humble roots—the lockdown of 2020 led to experiments in the kitchen, sharing our creations with friends and family, and eventually serving our first customers from a pop-up shop in the family garage,” reads the official website for BTRMLK. “Today, with two buzzing locations and more to come, BTRMLK has become a destination for food lovers seeking something special.”

BTRMLK should be opening soon in Oakville at 280 North Service Rd W.
