18 Best Chicken Restaurants near Folsom

“I don't try many new restaurants (new to me) because more so than not it ends in disappointment. Therfore, i usually stick to what i know.
I hadn't heard of Dave's Hot Chicken before last week when i saw them as i was driving. I decided to look it up and see what they were about. The menu had me intrigued. I figured I'd try something small. Since i couldn't make up my mind on just 1 item I ordered both a slider and a small top loaded fries. Both items completely surpassed my expectations. So much flavor!!!!! The portion size was more than I could eat (which is a good thing). I was not disappointed whatsoever and i don't feel like I flushed a ton of money down the drain for nothing.
It was so good in fact, I happen to be in the area right now and plan to put in another order.
I definitely recommend this place!!!“

“Super quick, friendly service!“

“😋😋😋 yummy I love Korean food“

“I came in about 2 days ago, I haven't been here in awhile, so I really did not know what to order, But I was helped by a really nice lady I think her name was Kim, she was really helpful told me about $7 fill ups and a couple other promotions that were going on she was super helpful and sweet the food was amazing, freshly made. Im glad I choose to come back here, would definitely recommend to my friends, the root beer floats are a classic.“

“We come for the fries because they're made in peanut oil & so yummy! Would give 5 stars, but maybe every 7th time we order fries they're not piping hot & I can't stand fries that aren't fresh. Not really into their chicken sandwiches personally, especially since we go to Mom & Pop Chicken Shop in Cameron Park, but in a pinch I'd eat one if I had to.

They're not using an acidic solution to wipe their tables & floors, so there's that oily build up that happens due to the deep fryer nature of their foods, so it's not pleasant to sit there. It smells of the old oils & the tables are sticky. We usually order to go & sit in our car due to this, but as long as they don't change their quality of food this will continue to be one of our favorite fry spots!

Also, we have only had good to great experiences with their employees thus far!“

“May God have mercy on my bank account. This place has some of the best fries I have ever had and the fried chicken is both moist and flavorful. The service is excellent as well and the staff are incredible. My only wish is that the chicken had a crispier breading, but other than that, this place is beyond amazing.“

“Great service by Isaiah! The perfect quick meal after a long day. Food was ready fast, and was delicious. Isaiah had a friendly attitude and was helpful for someone’s first time visiting Dave’s Hot Chicken! I will definitely be coming back“

“I ordered online and it was really quick and easy. When I arrived, 2 minutes after my selected pick up time, they had just bagged it up, so it was hot and fresh. Unfortunately, I was traveling home (my son requested I pick-up Dave's Hot Chicken for him on my way home) about 1 hour and 45 minutes from this location (as there are no other locations before my home city) surprisingly, after I wrapped the boxes with foil it was still warm and tasted fresh.“

“Von’s Chicken in Rancho Cordova is such a great find! The chicken is always hot, crispy, and full of flavor — you can really taste the quality and freshness. The Soy Garlic and Original Crispy are my go-tos, but the Hot & Spicy hits the spot when you want a little extra kick. Don’t skip the baked chicken as it’s perfect if you want something lighter but still packing tons of flavor.

The sides and starters are just as good — especially the cheeseballs and sodduck sodduck. Portions are generous, and even the takeout stays crunchy and delicious.

The staff here are super friendly and attentive — they take the time to explain the different sauces and flavors, and it’s clear they care about their customers having a great experience.

Overall, Von’s Chicken is consistently excellent — fresh, flavorful, and served with genuine hospitality. Definitely one of my favorite go-to spots in Rancho Cordova!“

Carolina Reaper 1,641,183 – 2,200,000+ SHU

Was told only 1 or 2 persons try it out each month
Guess my name entered into their record books.
It’s the hottest burger I’ve ever had. Had the fountain coke coming in to cool me down.
But in the end accomplished the “been there done that.”
Very clean ambience and professionally run. Must try them out to become one of the regulars.“

The food is delicious, and the team is so kind and helpful - they make every visit feel warm and welcoming. you can tell they really care about their customers, and that positive energy makes this place special. Little acts of kindness like that really stand out these days !“

“Excellent food! I got the chicken tenders and tots. Nice big chunks of chicken that were perfectly moist. They served a huge portion of tots. Tons of different dipping sauces to choose from. With the decent prices, good quality and quantity of food that is custom cooked as you wait, this place blows the big chicken chains away. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 😇!!!“

“We all know the chicken is top tier. I’m writing this because the last two times I went, Andrew at the drive through window was exceptional. He is very warm and friendly and engaged me in interesting conversation. Andrew definitely has the right kind of personality to be in customer service. Both times really cheered me up and put a smile on my face. So thank you for putting such a a nice person in a customer-facing position!“
