Mike NeilanSeptember 20, 2018I had the slider combo and loved it! Chicken was super juicy, seasoning on the fries were great, and they serve beer!! Will definitely go back😃
Connie ChiuApril 1, 2018Got take out and the reaper is super spicy!! The spicy and mild are good. The mac n cheese is really good to counter the spicy. I don’t love chicken tenders though. Would rather have wings.
g oconnorMarch 6, 2018The trick to eating hot chicken is to tear small bites and fold them in a piece of bread. You can see Dave Chang doing this in Mind of a Chef. Or, me anytime.
Allan ParedesJune 2, 2021This place was super good! Was craving it for the longest coming from NC, and it did not disappoint. Does get pretty spicy, of course, so keep that in mind.
Just Sayin’August 2, 2018So delicious! I usually get a half slider/half tender mild meal and finish half..save the rest for later. Come during the day! Never any lines when I’ve gone.
Justin OrdovezaAugust 20, 2019It’s a hipster version of chick Fil A. The house sauce is similar to chick fil a sauce. The lines can be long and the parking lot is super packed.
- DeemaJuly 1, 2017Chicken perfection, everything on this simple menu is delicious. It's a small, but super friendly operation--they know how to season chicken!
Chris “RockNRollGeek” Darbro 🤘June 17, 2017Chicken & Fries are good, The Kale slaw didnt work for me, a good slaw needs to be crisp, not limp.- Pete BergFebruary 23, 2018The chicken is HOT... don’t pick Xtra Hot or Reaper if you can’t handle it. I was crying with hot.
- Delicious Nashville style chicken tenders. Don’t be afraid to go hot.
Charlie AispuroJune 4, 2017Hot and Spicy Chicken Tenders. Extra hot is addictingly delicious hell fire. Side of Fries and LA hip kale salad

"Their sandwiches taste good, however the breading always falls of the chicken - they need to work on that. Overall Dave's Hot Chicken is much better but these guys don't usually have a long wait."

"Must try the salad with the cauliflower. House style. And a Fresca. Always a great meal and satisfying all around."

"Korean hot chicken, yum! The hot is pretty spicy after a couple of bites but so good. I like the honey orange on the popcorn chicken. The fried chicken burger is good but hefty."
