Very clean location. I was very, very impressed by the service, the ambiance, and most of all, the FOOD!!! I ordered the tender sliders in medium hot. I added honey to it as I read about it on another review. Oh my goodness, it was absolutely delicious I suggest requesting that they add ore sauce to the bread and not a small drizzle on top of the chicken. However, they had a cup of sauce on the side, so it was adequate to add, along with all the extra pickles. I wish they would bring one of these places to my hometown ... read more

We have a new fast-food chicken spot in the area. I always like to go when a restaurant opens in the beginning because I know they will be on their best behavior, and as expected, they were. The staff was friendly, and the food was good. I'll wait to see what it turns into in the next few months; I will remain cautiously optimistic. BB

Came in a Saturday night it was not too busy. We were able to go straight to the register and order. The server behind the register was friendly and helpful. Our food came out pretty quickly. I got the #4 with the one slider and fries. The fries were hot and tasty, the chicken was well seasoned. The sandwich was very good. The pickles were nice and crispy. The restaurant was very clean. My husband and son enjoyed their food. He ordered a top loaded shake. All the M and Ms fell yo the bottom but it was still very good. We wil... read more

3.5 stars. Ordered via DoorDash. I had medium spicy at the Novato location and thought that wasn't spicy at all so I decided to up it this time to Hot. I got the slider this time with fries and my small vanilla milkshake. The chicken was good texture-wise but unevenly spicy - one corner was HOT and the rest was tolerable. The fries and milkshake were good. The slider looked smaller than what I saw at the other location and there was barely any slaw in it so I was pretty disappointed at the difference.

Pretty Good Chicken here. The menu is limited which is fine. The chicken tenders are pretty big. Wish I saw them before ordering 3! You can order meals, which includes fries or separate tenders which includes bread and some Dill pickle slices. I opted for ordering three separate tenders with kale slaw. I enjoyed everything. You can dine in, order ahead or order to go. Late hours too! Most nights they close at 11p and I think Friday and Saturday at midnight. Nice addition to the El Cerrito Plaza. 

Business response:

5 stars back to you for being an amazing guest! Thanks for the love and see you next time!

It's a chain restaurant but they deliver a great chicken sandwich. End of discussion. Staff is very friendly and professional. EC Plaza is lucky to have them.

I come every 3 weeks with my little brother when we get haircuts at HD barber studio. It's a time that we bond, but don't say much, over some great food. This place will be a place I remember always.
