“Chicken Plus will always have a special place in my heart. I still remember when my dad used to take me here back in elementary school — it was our go-to spot for a delicious meal and some quality time together. Every visit was a treat, and even now, all these years later, I keep coming back.

The food is just as incredible as I remember — always fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. But what really sets Chicken Plus apart is the heart behind it. Syd, the owner, is truly one of a kind. Every time I walk through the doors, I look forward to seeing him. He greets everyone like family and makes you feel genuinely welcome. It’s rare to find a place where the food and the people are equally amazing, but Chicken Plus nails it every time.

If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out. Thank you, Syd, for all the memories and for continuing to make Chicken Plus the special place it is!“

They put in my son’s food order right away, offered him berries for his birthday dessert and they didn’t rush us out (we were a party of 9). We love this restaurant and will definitely be going back for more celebrations!“

“Great location. Tons of parking. Great mix of indoor and outdoor! Fantastic Happy Hour 3pm-5pm HH. Good core beers, with addition of featured beers. I usually get Hefe, Follow the Sun, or Karlito. I usually come for HH for Wings. Wings are 10/10. Singed up with Karl Rewards and got a free App. Normal Menu items are a bit over priced and nothing special too me. Mac n Cheese is a bit over hyped.“

Petite Shirah

“What a great restaurant at the Bernardo Winery. It's the perfect place to meet up with friends for lunch before walking around the cute winery and do some shopping in the boutiques on site.

There are lots of outdoor tables to choose from and most are shaded. It opens at 11am and it was busy soon after. We went on a weekday too.
You can get wines from the tasting room or delicious coffee from Manzanita next door.

You order from the counter and your food will be delivered to your table. Everything we had was delicious though the pizza was a little on the burnt side from the wood fired oven.

Parking: There are two small parking lots and plenty of street parking.“
