Chicken Shops near Aliso Viejo, CA

“What yummy delicious juicy chicken!“

“10 out of 10 completely. if you're looking for that chicken that just falls into pieces as you take a bite this is a spot to go to it is amazing and tender“

“Food is always good and yummy. Love their sweet tea and kids meals are the best.“

“Stopped here for some chicken sandwiches. We enjoy the spicy and original sandwiches and recommend them.

A little disappointed as our old regular chick fil a would allow us to order our fries well done. This one won’t. We like them well done!“

“The food is high quality and they offer a large array of options such as cauliflower for my vegetarian friends. The meat is also halal which makes me feel more comfortable with what im eating. The staff are helpful and friendly. The place is well maintained, not usually crowded and clean.“

“If you're looking for hot chicken that's packed with flavor and not just heat, Redbird Hot Chicken & Fries needs to be on your radar~

What I loved most is how they focus on building real flavor first, then bringing in the perfect kick of spice. Every bite was crispy, juicy, well-seasoned, and had just the right amount of heat to keep you coming back for more

My absolute favorite was the Chicken Cheese Fries
Loaded with tender hot chicken, crispy fries, melty cheese, and flavorful toppings.

Beside that, the manager is super kind, he went over everything on the menu with us and give us the best recommendations“

“Great atmosphere, super clean , food was hot, portioned and presented well. Austin was awesome, amicable, a great listener, thoughtful , helpful and I didn’t order a drink and he offered a cup of iced water while I waited for my food.“

“Food was so amazing 😋 . Love this place. I come here regularly and I have built a connection with a very nice worker named Farouk. We have talked about football and other things before. Outstanding service and food. Definitely recommend 💯“

“Really impressed by how consistent this place is. I’ve ordered from multiple locations and the quality has always been solid. The Hainan chicken is flavorful, the broth is comforting, and everything tastes fresh. It’s healthy without feeling boring. Perfect quick lunch option when you want something filling but not too heavy.“

“Great service and very clean“

“Definitely a place you want to stop at! We are their chicken sandwich, chicken tenders and chicken grill boo. All were excellent. The portions were large as well. We have 5 kids and they all loved it too. The man at the front counter was so kind and helpful. When he said they have the number one chicken in Orange County, he was telling the truth!“

“This place was incredible. Had the 3 Piece Mixed. The seasonings and crunch was perfect. My son had the Fish. The breading was seasoned great. Sides were good. Definitely looking foward to trying more from. The menu. Walked in and they gave us a free sample piece of chicken because it was our first time there. I was all in immediately. The taste mixed with genuine service was something you don't find often. Vernon/Rockville becoming a delicious food hub as of late. So many great options now.“

“Great food. Super nice staff. Thank you. When they say it’s spicy believe them. Dare is almost unbearable. I wouldn’t dare try the double dare. Soooo good.“

“walked in figuring it was gonna be just ok, but it was actually so good that im still thinking about it... tofu was perfectly chewy and the sauce had this instant kick...

food came out alot faster than I expected, total surprise“

“Love this place there food is so clean and tasty. Best chicken spot I have been to. I have been to almost all of them from Dave’s to hotties to Breds. But this one by far is the tastiest and most juicy. If you like your chicken juicy and crispy this is the place to try. Try them out asap if you havnt yet.“

“I went through the Chick-fil-A drive-thru and jokingly asked the guy at the window if he could sprinkle some love on my food. Without missing a beat, he blew a kiss to my bag and even made a heart with his hands! It absolutely made my day. It was one of the sweetest customer service experiences I've ever had. Thank you for going above and beyond to make a simple meal so memorable!“

“This is the first place I have found in Orange County that makes a hot chicken that is legitimately too hot to handle. And I say that as I sweat through the next 3 tenders. It's fantastic but I'll actually order something a little milder next time. Get Clucked means business.“

“The best food great Service clean restaurant always fast“

“Great food! Friendly staff! And CLEAN!!!!“

“I ordered the chicken leg meat with dipping sauces and broth. Honestly, the chicken was great on its own. I didn't care for any of the sauces. The rice was a bit salty but still good.

The setup felt a little odd. There was a loud speaker on loop reminding Uber and DoorDash drivers to pick up orders in the back. It was super annoying. I really think they would benefit from having a host instead of relying on that speaker.

That said, the place itself was cool, and I liked that you can order from several different shops all through the same kiosk.“

“My hangout, healthy choices and some items under $5 while earning points ���“

“You can tell this is a family owned business that really cares about its quality. All the chicken are freshly fried, that's why there is a bit of a wait. The waffle is actually my favorite, super crispy, best waffles I've had in a while.“

“Just an incredible experience at the drive-through. I wouldn’t leave a review unless this was special and they were so helpful kind polite. I hadn’t been to El Pollo Loco in a while so I had a lot of dumb questions and they helped me customize my order. We’re very quick and charming.

No issues with the food either I asked for creamy chipotle sauce on my classic chicken burrito. Highly recommend it.“

“El Pollo Loco on Greenfield in Laguna Niguel is one of the best locations in our area. Isabel is the manager and we must say that we've had nothing but a wonderful experience with her, every time we've come here. One time, we were shorted during our drive-through order and we called her, and she immediately took care of it and then some! This evening we were back again and she was so kind to tell us all about their specials and to give us a coupon. She is so professional, courteous, and welcoming! If you want a good Apollo experience come to the Greenfield location, ask for Isabel, you won't be disappointed!!“

“Only ever tried the Fire Fries and this is my first time ordering here so I don't know if this is normal for these fries or if I got a weird batch but these are SPICY. I am able to down a pack of Buldak x2 Spicy without a problem so when I say the Fire Fries are spicy, I mean it hurts like the fries hate you, burns it's way down, and while the tongue eventually settles down, my gut is bubbling and it's so painful, I can barely sit straight. Delicious!“

“Once the person at the register realized I hadn’t been helped everything was smooth sailing after that. (I do feel when 4 people around the counter there is no reason to not acknowledge someone with a hello.) However, what made it right. The person apologized. I really liked seeing the tables and seats being cleaned, the food being brought out. Plus, what I really liked in the middle of my honey packet and stick fingers they came by with hand wipes and mints. Then back and took my tray when I was done. Sending that person around with those gestures is chefs kiss. And the restrooms were clean and hand sanitizer was in clear sight.“

“Vegetarian options: The beans and rice combo with Pollo..churro * corn tortillas were excellent and so well priced ..Pls send me more coupons.. It's the only way I can afford to eat out..pls send coupons to me....Delicious .hot food if you are poor or wealthy.. Thanks so much..Amy

Parking: Very easy and reasonable parking even if you are physically disabled..“

“Good quality chicken . Love it“

“I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The customer service was outstanding from the moment I arrived. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of.

A special thank you to Manager Ellie, who was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great dining experience. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly stood out and made us feel valued as customers.

Great food and excellent service!“

“We will return. Great food and much cleaner than any other One we have been too.“

“I ❤️ their boba! I traveled 30 min to go here!“

“This El Pollo Loco location is always solid! The chicken is perfectly fire-grilled, juicy, and full of flavor every time. The sides are fresh, the portions are generous, and everything tastes made-to-order. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean and well maintained. Quick service and consistently good food — definitely one of my go-to spots!“

“I come here almost 3 times a week...really good“

“The food was good, but the size of the chicken pieces keep shrinking and the price is inflating. I don’t like the kiosk ordering. When I go to a restaurant I want to be served. Also, the kiosk kept making beeping noises while I was eating. Very annoying.“

“Great 👍 n very patient servers! Always helpful.“

“They make tasty food in the services typically always good but the size of the chicken fingers is about half of what it used to be 5 years ago which is kind of they make tasty food in the services typically always good but the size of the chicken fingers is about half of what it used to be 5 years ago which is kind of annoying“

“Yesterday i came in For lunch Right before i started eating i notice two asian people Came in a Started changing the air conditioning filters A big no-noo specialy during bussines hours and with out covering the salsa bar or any other area I asked the manager to stop them, he came out talk to them and the continued any way Check my facebook photos and videos...“

“Love this El Pollo Loco near my work. I’ve been coming herea lot for over two years since my job moved into the area, and the food is consistently good every single time. The manager and staff are always friendly, welcoming, and on top of things. Reliable spot with great service.“

“I wish there was one closer to the Fresno area. I’m a sucker for good popcorn chicken and this one absolutely didn’t disappoint. The chicken was cooked just right. The meat was still nice and juicy. The one thing that I wasn’t a fan of was the fish cake. It tasted like a fishy mochi. Scratch that it wasn’t bad but I would get it again. The chicken for sure is where it was at. The service was friend and the place had a few seats but it was more of a to go place. Oh and the sauces that I got especially the J&G sauce was like a spicy mayo was very good. I think it’s even better than the Cane sauce and would go good with the Raising Cane chicken.“

“This visit was a bit different for me—not due to any issue with the service or the quality of the food, which were both solid. I genuinely enjoy Chick‑fil‑A, but the breakfast portion felt smaller than expected for the price point. My feedback reflects this specific breakfast experience only and shouldn’t be taken as a critique of the store or the organization overall.“

“We have being coming to this C-F-A for a while and we have always being welcome by Rodger and his team, Rodger is such an asset for this company. He is always super friendly, he knows my family by name, and that makes us feel like we are eating at home. Food always delicious, fresh, and just perfect. Thank you Rodger and team for always talking care of my family.“

“I ordered the spicy original and the soy garlic wings. The wings are fairly large (compared to Wingstop) so the 8 piece small is enough. Both flavors were really good with the spicy original being more like just a just a small kick than actually spicy.“

“We had to wait about 5 minutes for our food but it was worth the wait! The chicken was really good! I've been to other locations where the chicken was terrible. So much so that this was the last time I was going to try KFC. But I will be back to this location only!“

“I had to pick up food for my son and his nurse. The high school kids just got out for lunch. I thought it would take forever but I was so wrong. They had 4 people going car to car taking orders, then one took payment and two delivered orders to the cars, verifying each order. Amazingly fast! I don't eat fast food but everyone loved their food.“

“I am not new to KFC, but am new to this location. My order was prepared quickly, tasted great, was fairly priced, and the staff were friendly. Despite many other chicken options in the area, KFC is still one of the best. Extra-crunchy style lives up to the hype, and the sides are great- not too salty like Popeye's.“

“Very clean and welcoming place with a beautiful atmosphere. The restaurant is always well maintained, the tables are kept spotless, and the interior design is beautiful.

All of the staff were friendly, professional, and helpful. Service was fast, and everyone I interacted with was kind and welcoming. I would especially like to thank the lady who helped me during my visit (I believe her name was Yali). She was incredibly warm, patient, and attentive, and was always happy to help whenever I needed assistance.

Overall, a wonderful experience with excellent customer service. Highly recommended“

“The fried chicken is on point. Good crunch, taste, everything right. The fries could be good, but they’re always soggy when doing take away. Soggy already at pick up. I really wish you would stop using closed boxes, trapping all the moisture. Instead use the same type of boxes as for the chicken, so the fries stay crunchy as well.“

“I finally tried Jollibee in the seafood city and the chicken definitely lived up to the hype. The fried chicken was extremely crispy and crunchy without being overly greasy, and the spicy chicken had a much bigger kick than I expected, which I ended up really enjoying.

For sides, we tried the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. They were decent, but neither stood out compared to the chicken. The dessert was probably my least favorite part of the meal. It was overwhelmingly sweet for my taste, although some of my family members enjoyed it more than I did.

Overall, the chicken was easily the highlight and is what I’d come back for. The meal did leave my stomach feeling a little upset afterward, but honestly, the chicken was good enough that I’d still consider returning. If you’re visiting for the first time, the spicy chicken is definitely worth trying.“

“I have been to this location a handful of times and have always enjoyed this location. Their staff is always friendly, polite and they are very efficient on getting orders out. Love that they have a play area now!

First time ever experiencing Cow Appreciation Day! We ordered, turned around it was already coming out before we even had a table - so fast! Huge shoutout to Moses, Neal, Angel, Wendell, Nick and Adam! They treated us like family and helped the kids have a fun time at cow appreciation day! Can’t wait till the next event! 🐄“

“The Chick-Fil-A in Foothill Ranch is excellent! The chicken nuggets, waffle fries, Mac and cheese, and fruit cups are always freshly prepared and absolutely delicious! My two toddler sons and I go to this location approximately twice a week, and every visit I am always impressed by how good the service is and how incredibly CLEAN everything is. My sons absolutely love coming here, because the food is so yummy and they love playing in the indoor playground. Additionally, the owner of the Chick-Fil-A is amazing! She is very kind, helpful, and generous with customers. She takes the time to talk with my toddler sons every visit and it is evident that she truly cares about providing guests with a great experience! This is literally the BEST Chick-Fil-A location, and I highly recommend checking it out!“
