22 Best Chicken Restaurants near Citrus Heights

“Angry is great if you want hot. X-Hot has heat with flavor. I get one of each every time I go. All the other flavors else could be served to children. I sign their little waiver each time but it definitely isn’t hot enough to write home about. Chickens shouldn’t eat Chicken. Great food and Staff is quite friendly.“

“Best Popeyes on the planet! Thank you April for packing our order just right and thank you for singing happy birthday to my husband. You have the voice of an 😇!!!“

“As always my food was fresh and delicious. Service was amazing as well in both drive thru and lobby. They spoke clearly and politely, gave all the sauces I asked for, and packed all the food nicely. Definitely a 10/10 restaurant with lively people.“

“Hi! It’s been a while since I’ve went, but it’s always been great everytime. I’m making this review to ask not just this location but all locations if they can make the cauliflower permanent. They are very popular(to the point they were brought back earlier this year) and I’d love it if the were either an all winter thing or a full time thing. Please consider it! Thank you!“

“May God have mercy on my bank account. This place has some of the best fries I have ever had and the fried chicken is both moist and flavorful. The service is excellent as well and the staff are incredible. My only wish is that the chicken had a crispier breading, but other than that, this place is beyond amazing.“

“Upon arrival, Miguel greeted me with a smile, positive attitude and great aura. He was very helpful and patient when i was ordering and kept a smile on his face. The restaurant itself was very nice, clean and well put together. 10/10 experience!“

“Living in Carmichael for about year and a half, after living in Chicago (.a place that knows a little bit about chicken wings), this is my go to place for chicken wings. Not whole like Chicago.“

“This was our first time ever visiting Dave's Hot Chicken, and we're officially hooked! The food was absolutely outstanding, living up to all the hype we've heard. Everything was hot, fresh, and perfectly crispy. We particularly loved the Dave Sauce—it’s got the perfect blend of tang and spice, and we dipped everything in it.
However, the real star of our entire experience was Leigh, who took our order at the register. Leigh didn't just take our order; she truly elevated the whole visit into something special. Since it was our first time, she patiently walked us through the menu, explaining the different heat levels and making tailored recommendations. She was genuinely friendly, incredibly efficient, and had such a positive, welcoming energy.
Leigh went above and beyond to make sure we felt taken care of. She checked in on us shortly after we received our food, which was a thoughtful touch that showed how much she cared about our experience. Her helpfulness and kind demeanor made the atmosphere feel less like a quick service spot and more like a place where they genuinely value their customers.
Honestly, we've had good hot chicken before, but it was Leigh's exceptional service that made this visit worth coming back for. She is a massive asset to the team, and her dedication to customer service is truly top-tier. Thanks to Leigh, our first taste of Dave's Hot Chicken was nothing short of perfect. We'll be back soon!“

“Von’s Chicken in Rancho Cordova is such a great find! The chicken is always hot, crispy, and full of flavor — you can really taste the quality and freshness. The Soy Garlic and Original Crispy are my go-tos, but the Hot & Spicy hits the spot when you want a little extra kick. Don’t skip the baked chicken as it’s perfect if you want something lighter but still packing tons of flavor.

The sides and starters are just as good — especially the cheeseballs and sodduck sodduck. Portions are generous, and even the takeout stays crunchy and delicious.

The staff here are super friendly and attentive — they take the time to explain the different sauces and flavors, and it’s clear they care about their customers having a great experience.

Overall, Von’s Chicken is consistently excellent — fresh, flavorful, and served with genuine hospitality. Definitely one of my favorite go-to spots in Rancho Cordova!“

“Always legit!!! So happy to have them up north!!! CLUCKING ’ HOT BABY!!!“

“Amazing Food with exceptional customer service!“

“great food. great service, awesome environment.“

“This chicken is the best tasting fast food chicken out there. Juicy breast meat and the wings have ample meat attached. Seasoning is perfect with a hint of spice.“

“Shout out to Elijah!!! We so appreciated his help tonight. Thank you!! Tonight my family and I used the app to pick up food in the drive thru. We had an email allowing us a free chicken sandwich when you use the app. We don't eat out often so this was a treat for us. My husband had already used the app, so this was his second time in the app to get the free sandwich with our order. When we picked up our food, two of the young workers couldn't help us with this promotion, so we spoke with the manager. She also said sorry we can't help you! We were at the window and received our order, but had to order another item as the chicken sandwich was going to be my husband dinner and we wouldn't receive it. While we were trying to get this order going another young man came up to the window to help us! He heard about the situation and honored the free Chicken sandwich promotion. Everyone was kind regardless of the situation. We love this location and because of Elijah, we left happy customers.“

“very friendly service and my food got to me still hot. I will return“

“great food. Great service“

“I love this Chick Fil A. Have been going here for many years.
During COVID they underwent a renovation and the restaurant looks so unwelcoming now. I remember they used to have the Play Place and pictures of cows on the walls. This place used to have more personality and would stand other unlike the other fast food places.
Now it’s empty. And more expensive… how is fast food so expensive these days?!?

Kid-friendliness: Lots of kid friendliness. Check the site.“

“Mariana was great!! Helped me set up the app and was informative with some of the new additions. The chicken pieces are still the size of Cornish game hens (nothing new there 🙄) and was very disappointed with the potato poppers and apple pie poppers. Not enough apple pie filling, and the 5 (not 6 as advertised) potatoes were dry and puffless.“

“Consistently delicious well seasoned food. It seems sketchy because it's inside of a gas station and there are usually people loitering in the area. But definitely worth it

Vegetarian options: None. There are sides but not all of them are Vegetarian friendly

Parking: It's inside of a small gas station. Parking can be tight“

“Our first time and it was wing Wednesday. Amazing deals! I had the boneless wings and they were so crispy and tender and juicy. My husband had the bone in and also said they were really good. The loaded tater tots were fun. Can't wait to go back and mix up some new flavor combos!“

“I always come here and love brining my friends and family along. The food is delicious, and the team is so kind and helpful - they make every visit feel warm and welcoming. you can tell they really care about their customers, and that positive energy makes this place special. Little acts of kindness like that really stand out these days !“
