“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.“

“Food was great! I got the Top Loaded Mac & Cheese and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were amazing and everything tasted fresh. YOUSIF was one of the nicest people I’ve met — very friendly, polite, and welcoming. He made the whole experience even better with his great attitude and excellent customer service it makes me come back. Definitely recommend this place and I’ll for sure be coming back!“

“Anthony is amazing after 10 minutes in the drive thru this guy remembered everything that we ordered including the water with no ice and when he gave our order he remembered that we added something last minute and also gave it to us with the rest of our order thank you so much for amazing service you deserve a manger spot“

“This was our second visit to this spot, and it was just as enjoyable as the first. The restaurant is quite large, so I can't see it being crowded all the time. The chicken was delicious. Juicy and crispy. I ordered the medium, which was spicy but not quite enough for my taste. The fries were well-seasoned and crispy. The kale slaw complemented the chicken nicely, thanks to its sweet and bitter notes. The bread was also buttery and soft. I wish I had gotten some honey, which I forgot to grab, because it would have probably enhanced the meal.“

“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.“

“Just came in earlier and Erik was at the front and never have I received hospitality in a fast food restaurant. He let me know what his name was and if I needed anything to just let him know. That 20 second interaction will forever stay with me. We need more people like Erik! Thank you for the great service brother!“

“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.“

“I had an excellent experience at Vons Chicken Rancho Cordova. The chicken wings were absolutely delicious—perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The customer service was exceptional, attentive, and welcoming throughout my visit. I was also pleasantly surprised by their radish, which was remarkably fresh and complemented the meal beautifully. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing food and kind service! The environment is quiet and peaceful, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your meal. I highly recommend the crispy garlic and Yangnyum drumsticks—they were absolutely delicious! However, I would say the prices are pretty expensive, but considering it’s a small business, I’m happy to support!“

“Amazing Food with exceptional customer service!“

“great food. great service, awesome environment.“

“great food. Great service“

“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.“

“I came to the drive thru and they were very respectful they were patient and very responcful they made the food well with everything in it and they done it fast im happy with my order.“

“Wonderful experience compared to the Lincoln, California KFC. Foothills blvd did 100% double checking my order. For a 3rd world country experience go to Lincoln California 35 Lincoln blvd. The employees there could careless how your order experience is.“

“Absolutely outstanding experience with Vermantu and her entire crew. From the moment I walked in, everything ran like a well-oiled machine—quick, efficient, and handled with real professionalism. Vermantu clearly leads by example and should 100% be the manager if she isn’t already. The team works seamlessly together, delivering fast service without cutting corners. You can tell there’s pride behind what they do. Easily a five-star experience, and I’ll be coming back because of it. Thank you all!“

“June 26 2026 I frequent the location. Today they gave me fried chicken nugget instead of grilled. I specifically asked for grilled because I'm on a kidney friendly diet. The fries are high potassium but I watch my portion on them. I think I might just eat inside because you really can't confirm your order doing drive thru. I like the dragon pineapple syrup.“

“2nd time being here at Ricki Chicken, food is amazing. First time me and my wife had their sliders and chicken bowl and we had to come back because it was that good. Staff is very nice spoke to the owner Carlos tonight, if you haven’t tried Rocki Chicken in Carmichael definitely check it out. You will not be disappointed“

“I went around 6pm and got a leg and thigh and biscuit. The biscuit was hot, soft, buttery, flaky, sugary, fluffy diabesity (diabetes and obesity in one!) deliciousness and the chicken was hot, juicy, salty, tender, crunchy, krispy diabesity so definitely worth the $6 I paid! I look forward to eating again! It is in a gas station so takeout only but this is some seriously good chicken!“

“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!“

“Juwan has impeccable customer service, handle confusion with ordering well, and maintained neutral and informative.while we had to wait he offered my husband his desert while we pulled to the front for the rest of the meal. I have never had anyone think of that.💯💯💯💯on Experience“

“I placed a mobile order and went through the drive‑thru to pick it up. The employee at the window let me know it wasn’t ready yet and kindly asked me to wait a few minutes in the parking lot. I just wanted to point out that she was very friendly and provided great customer service. She even threw in something extra for the wait. I wish I had her name, but since it was an online order, it wasn’t listed on the receipt.“

“I mean, it's Popeye's.
The dining room was closed when I went, so I can't comment on that, but the drive thru was fine, other than the typical can't-understand-what-they're-saying aspect. I ordered through the app so I barely had to speak with them. The food was reasonably hot, tasted pretty good (except I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich and got a regular). Pretty good over all.“
