It was my first time here, and the staff were really friendly. The place is clean, and the food came out quickly. I had a great experience and I'll definitely come back again.

This is my first time having this chicken and it's BOMB. I got a tender and slider combo in spice level medium. Fries with the pickles and bread was really, really good. Ordered online and it came out hot and fresh right on time. I really don't understand why people fawn over raising canes, it's nothing c ompared to this place. Also pro tip: Most of the recent 1 star reviews are bots or just p eople who don't understand what "reaper" means. Highly recommended.

This is the second time I've come to this location, and the chicken sandwich I ordered today is one of the best I've ever had. It was juicy to the point of dripping, and the slaw was much sweeter and less salty than the one I had last time. The chicken had a really great spiced seasoning crust, and it went really well slathered with the hot chicken sauce 

Business response:

Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!

2.5 rounded to 3. No change in my opinon for this location (and it's been a while since I've visited any others); the chicken meat is moist but the tender coating feels hard, like it was reheated or kept under a heating lamp too long. The fries were passable but they could have been reheated too. Service is still fine and friendly. In the afternoons it gets lot of students from the nearby high school and the noise level corresponds to that. I would guess their number diminishes late afternoon/early evening.

We had the double chicken sandwich. It was preorders and ready when we go there so good service. The chicken was fresh and tasty with condiments that are appropriate. Will keep them as a valid option for a spicy chicken sandwich.

They have super juicy chicken bites and cauliflower bites, but the size of the chicken bites shrunk since the other numerous times I had them. The hot honey in my order tasted and smelled funky too.

The chicken was delicious and the crinkle-cut fries with their special sauce were amazing. The food came fast, was nicely packaged, and ordering was easy.

***USP: fried chicken fast food place with a wide range of heat levels from mild to high heat for more adventurous palates. ***AMBIANCE: graffiti style artwork on the walls. Place order up front, find a table and wait for your buzzer to light up. ***FOOD: this time around we got the chicken bites. It was after school and kids wanted a quick snack. The bites came with a mayo based sauce, a slice of white bread and some pickles. The chicken was surprisingly beautifully cooked, it was soft and flavorful. The coating wasn't to... read more

Delicious chicken. Amazing fries. Crinkle cut fries. Their special sauce is pretty epic. I got medium spice on the chicken and it was perfect for me. Food was really quick and packaged nicely and service was fast and efficient. Easy to order because they have everything plotted out into meals. There's plenty of tables to eat inside, but I took mine to go. The only thing that sucks is parking because it's next to a very busy Trader Joe's, but it's worth a fight for the good food.
