“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.“

“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!“

“First time going here, and the chicken was fantastic. The buns were grilled on the inside, which gave it a nice soft crunch. I got the medium to be safe and was very good. The spices on the chicken melt in your mouth. The staff were really friendly and helped me order as well. I'm definitely going to go back and try the hot next time!“

“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!“

“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.“

“​The food here is really good, with large portions and great flavor. The atmosphere is nice and calm with good music playing. Ordering was super easy. It took about 14 minutes to get our 4 meals, which felt a little slow for a quick bite, but the delicious taste definitely made up for the short wait!“

“Yesterday I stopped by the KFC at 3551 Bradshaw Rd and bought 16 pieces, but they forgot to add a small fries to my order. I called the store today and Antonio's assistant manager answered. He told me to come to the store and he would replace it. When I got to the store, he replaced it and gave me a chocolate cake. I really liked Antonio's service.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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. 💯👍🏾“
