30 Best Chicken Restaurants near Citrus Heights

“I really liked the texture of the chicken inside the breading, it has a more premium feel to it than places like Daves. I felt that the breading could’ve been a bit crispier though, and the seasoning tasted good but if it had just a bit more flavor it would be perfect. I got the hot option and the heat level was perfect. Lastly, the soda could’ve been a bit more carbonated but I’m just nitpicking at this point. All in all a good experience and so far my favorite hot chicken spot in the Sacramento area. Oh yeah, and the guy at the counter was awesome. Truly excellent customer service“

“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 😇!!!“

“I've stopped here several times, and the staff have always been friendly, respectful, and welcoming. One thing I especially appreciate is that they've let me use the restroom when I needed to, even if I wasn't making a purchase. They were never weird, rude, or judgmental about it—they just treated me with kindness and understanding. It's such a simple thing, but it can make a big difference when you're out and about. The restaurant is clean, the employees are courteous, and the atmosphere is always pleasant. Thank you for consistently showing compassion and great customer service! I hate the smell tho and the food no offense lol.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“This place is so could I could cry 🤣 My husband and I tried it on a whim and it is my new favorite place. I have not tried a single thing that is not full of flavor, fresh, and delicious. TRY IT!! You will NOT be disappointed!“

“We absolutely love chick-fil-A! This location are always on point. They never get our order wrong. Food is just delicious. I like the way they work the drive-thru. They get you in and out of there real quick . I like that they make sure your name matches the order before handing it to you. Great service all round“

“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!“

“Good news/lesser news. The good news is this new restaurant has seriously great wings and a great variety at that. The lesser news is just ordering an order of 10 wings, I was quoted 10 to 15 minutes. But I was pleased when the order came out after only about five minutes.“

“I had a great experience with KFC's customer service. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and handled my order quickly and accurately. They were patient, answered my questions with a smile, and made sure everything was correct before I left. The restaurant was clean, and the overall service made my visit enjoyable. Excellent customer service—I look forward to coming back!“

“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“

“Kiki’s fries are 🔥🔥🔥 and the chicken is 💣💣💣. I came in from out of town and needed a great lunch and that is exactly what I got!“

“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!“

“Some type of app issue. It charged my card but didn't carry order to the merchant. They provided service in line of mishap. I told her if my payment doesn't clear tomorrow I will add i see funds $16.55 taken away f3om my credit card. Not sure why it not showing on their end.“

“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.“

“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“

“Best customer service I’ve had in a long time! DoorDash brought us the wrong order so we called and was helped by a manager by the name of Patrick. Even though it wasn’t his fault he apologized and even offered to drive it to us himself. We live about 20 min away so I was extremely grateful for the gesture. He was understanding, kind and even remade the meal fresh for us when we came to pick it up. Definitely appreciate it, kindness goes a long way!“
