“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.“

Anthony has made a simple drive through into a very memorable and amazing experience!“

“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!“

“Amazing Food with exceptional customer service!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 couldn’t get app to work so I drove in with family . I neeee a lot of chicken and strips. Manager was on it. He suggested a couple of orders for me to mix and match maximizing chicken value . Got my attention. He brought order to car , told me my order in box and off I went . I ordered almost everything on the menu and was not disappointed by any means. Hooked it up, family happy and full. Great experience , will eat again. 💯👍🏾“
