28 Best Chicken Restaurants near Aliso Viejo

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“I’m a regular here and don’t usually review places, but the team members in front are always very kind, especially Austin. He always offers a water cup whenever I have to wait a while for my pickup order and is great at customer service. Food is great and tastes even better when he’s up front.“

“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!“

“Amazing fried chicken!! Tenders are so yummy and love that you can adjust the spice levels out of the 4 options and even do half and half. Great place to grab a bite with a friend, Jacob was especially kind and have top notch service.

They also have grilled chicken!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Stopped in for lunch. Great service. Didn't catch the server's name but she was very friendly. Food was very good. Been looking for grilled chicken, I dont fare well with the crazy chicken, so this was very refreshing. Will be back. Posted a Pic of our order 8 piece family meal and menu.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Really good fried chicken! The coating is very light, yet crackly and crispy, while the meat itself remained very juicy and tender. Pickled radish was sweet and crunchy with a little tang, and all of the sauces were delicious.

Will definitely come back!“

“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!“

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

“I went here and ordered my usual which is a box of chicken nuggets, a box of chicken strips, a kale crunch, and a large iced tea. Chick-Fil-A takes the same here in Los Angeles vs Miami. The strips arent as greasy as Popeyes. overall very good“

“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! 🐄“

“This place is a Taiwanese fried chicken restaurant and is a different style of fried chicken that is softer and less crunchy. It is much less heavy and does not make you feel too lethargic after. You order at the tablet and pick up at the counter. Very chill and casual spot with friendly staff are fair prices.“

“The staff here were so kind, friendly, and accommodating! They made sure both me and my toddler were comfortable and went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. The manager was especially wonderful—super nice and welcoming. Great customer service all around!“

“I don’t usually leave Google reviews, but I wanted to share my honest experience because I truly enjoy this place.

I occasionally dine in or pick up BBQ Chicken from the Irvine Cypress location to enjoy with my family, and the food is always delicious. I believe the fresh ingredients make a big difference. It’s not just my opinion—my friends have also said that this is some of the best chicken they’ve had recently.

What makes the experience even better is how friendly and welcoming the staff are. The servers are always very kind, and the owner is exceptionally friendly and attentive to customers as well.

The restaurant is also spacious, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family, friends, or a larger group. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for delicious food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“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!“

“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.“

“When I was here the worker, Gavin helped me out I told him I needed the new “ PUNCHMADE VERITY MEAL “ and he saluted to me and said “ verity verity verity verity verity “, I was quite pleased with this because he then put in a order of a 20 pc with a Diet Coke, he knew that Marlon was in the building and that I don’t drink regular coke because I have to MOG and slay the ltb’s. I got my food and it had extra VER1TY sauce on it freaky style. Gavin then came to my table and whispered verity in my ears and then proceeded to tell me he was “escaping the matrix” with his friend, bhagyesh Padwal.“

“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!“
