“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“

“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.“

“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 💯“

“The owner/chef is a nice dude with portions as big as his personality. For those unfamiliar- think home cooked “el pollo loco” if you will. His wife is the other chef and prep cook. I like simple food and the Half chicken with rice and beans is my go to since 2018. Local tip: this is a couple who’s been running the joint for over 40yrs, the husband is the only cook and sometimes his wife hopes over to help turn out meals. Sometimes the chicken is underdone when they’re super busy, but in almost 10 years I’ve maybe gotten 3 under cooked meats and when I bring it up, he cooks it more, sometimes throws in a free leg or wing and some extra guac or beans. This is as close to hole in the wall/family as it gets. For what this place is, I hope it stays Open until they retire or a son/daughter takes over. Think el pollo loco before it became mainstream, for a day I’m not feeling burgers, I love coming here and sitting on the. Lot of good fish on the menu too, makes me think Baja or south gulf. Very refreshing eats“

“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.“

“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.“

“Caren works very efficiently and is a great asset to the company. I hope she is truly valued for her hard work. She promotes the food as if it were her own business, which shows her dedication and pride in what she does. Both she and the cook are very fast and stay focused on their tasks. Excellent service overall.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“The chicken was so juicy and fresh! The cashier lady was so kind and gave us extra sauce. We got the half chicken Garlic Spicy flavor and I would describe the spice as mild. The waffle fries were also to die for. I am definitely coming back.“

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

“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.“

“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 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!“
