Seasoning is not flavorful. Slider is 1 chicken tender on a hamburger roll, chicken tender is 1 chicken tender on a slice of white Pullman bread with some pickles( weird) $13 for one of each ,drink is NOT included, $2 extra. Didn't care for the heavy chili powder in the corn meal breading, did not care for the grease saturation ..will not return

Other than the chicken is "halal" (hopefully) it's really bad powdery breading. Disproportionate chicken for the sliders, or the tenders are too thick. You get this blast of breading and the chicken flavor doesn't make up for the weird dryness that the breading leaves in your mouth. I ordered a slider and it had 5 pickles and a teaspoon of slaw. When I held it looked like a very "happy" man's nether regions. I wanted to eat it in my car, but I didn't want to give the construction guys across the parking lot any wrong ideas... read more

Had the #3 medium heat chicken tender slider, chicken tender (served with white bread underneath the tender) fries and small drink (at an additional cost of $1.99). Total all together was $15.88. The food came out fresh and hot. All I tasted was cumin in every bite, not a taste of chicken to be found. I basically had a cumin sandwich. The fries were good and the dipping sauce for the chicken tender was good (reminded me of 1000 island dressing).

I could go to the grocery store and buy the ingredients, come home, and make fried chicken and it would still be quicker than the drive through.

This is literally an adult version of McDonalds. You can't go by what others say. You need to hop on over and try it. It's new to the area and the drive tru backs up at times. Be patient it's new. Listed picture has the menu to help you decide what you'd like to try and speed up the ordering processes at the drive tru. (Edit) Ehhh give it a try. 12.99 and the drinks aren't included maybe I will stick with McDonald. The energy inside is very California. Didn't like it...

1st & likely last time here. We went to the drive thru (on a Tuesday) at 1:45 pm, waited til about 2:10 til we got our order. They have a traffic director which, okay, it's a new place, understandable. What is NOT understandable is said traffic director coming up to our car & asking us to pull up as far as we possibly could in order to "get as many cars in the lines as possible". Uhm. What?! I just kinda gave her the side eye & replied that I would pull up about one foot, but that there wasn't even anyone behind me at that p... read more

Curious about why so many people lined up at drive thru , I decided to give it a try. After what seemed like an eternity to have my order taken, I decided to try the one tender one slider with fries combo #3 medium... order taker was speaking so fast I could not understand him. 28 minutes after getting in line , I finally got to the window. Food had an odd smell, kind of like burnt plastic. Had a strange taste as well, and obviously the oil in fryer must have been really old. Dark brown tint to both fries and chicken, very... read more

Don't waste your time waiting in the lines, not worth it! I went last week and went inside bc drive thru was insane. I waited 20 mins inside. I got one chicken slider and cheese fries. Total was $12.18, and that was w/o a drink! I thought that was pricy for fast food. The chicken was o.k., I got medium spice and it wasn't spicy at all, so if you go, get hot spice. The chicken piece was long and the Martin potatoe roll they use was too short, it hung out both ends and was very messy to try and eat it. The breading was ... read more

Chicken itself, passable but there is no flavor except for the spices which overwhelmed the actual chicken. The spice should complement the chicken, all you taste is spices. And I consider the application is like a dry rub, but it tastes like fried chicken dipped in spicy dirt .
