50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Hacienda Heights

“Love the interior of this place. Upon walking in, it is nice and bright. The staff was super friendly and the girl in front was very helpful.

I had a few items including their waffle, chicken sandwiches, and tteokbokki. The way they fry their chicken is so good. The skin is super crispy yet the chicken inside is still juicy. Also, this might be one of the best chicken and waffles I've ever had. The waffles are crispy on the center and soo fluffy on the inside. They also give you whip cream and butter with it. It was delicious. If this was a breakfast spot, I would go back to order the waffles every day. I also like how much toppings are in their tteokbokki. The flavor was really good and wasn't too overly spicy which I enjoy. The chicken sandwich was a little hard to eat because it is HUGE but nonetheless, it was great. The chicken wasn't dry even though they were tenders. Overall, I really liked my meal there and found it really delicious.“

“really recommend so yammy and the price is good variety of meals must try“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“First off I just want a say I love the customer service. I love how everyone is super friendly. I’ve never been to a Dave’s hot chicken where I was greeted so nicely. Make sure you come to the one in West Covina if you want good customer service, there was this one worker named Isaac very nice. Very helpful. Made my Dave’s hot chicken experience worth the drive.“

“Tried Dave’s Hot Chicken and it was really good!
The chicken was super juicy with a crispy coating and strong flavor. I got medium spice, which was perfect🤤🤤🤤❤️❤️

Sliders were the highlight, fries were just okay. A bit oily, but definitely worth it for the taste.

Overall, a solid spot for spicy chicken 🍗🔥“

“I love there rice wing. I don’t come here often but when I do come down to Fullerton. I always try to order the wing because it so crispy and so good. It’s one of the chicken place I would die for. Sooooooo delicious“

“Ordered for the first time from their and it was great. Many more choices than other delivery apps and great prices too. Even had a call with the restaurant on items ordered. She was very helpful, kind, and supportive. Great food and great service! Thank you so much!!“

“best chicken ever tender ,juicy crunchy! mmm!“

“Excellent Food and Outstanding Service!

I had an amazing experience at this Juan Pollo! The food was absolutely delicious — the chicken was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and tender, with just the right amount of seasoned flavor. The sides were fresh and flavorful, especially the potato salad, which has to be the BEST potato salad out there.

What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They made sure everything was to my liking and served everything quickly with a smile.

Juan Pollo offers not just great food, but also a warm, friendly atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality food and exceptional service!“

“I recently ordered from Jollibee and had a great experience.

The place was very clean, and the size of the restaurant felt just right—not too big and not too small. Even though the location was busy with customers, the staff still managed everything well and the place did not feel neglected.

I ordered online for takeout, and my order was ready as soon as I arrived, which made the process very smooth and convenient. I didn’t have to stay long at all.

And of course, Chickenjoy is still the best fried chicken—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and always delicious.

Overall, a great experience with fast service, a clean environment, and amazing food. Highly recommended! 👍🍗“

“Everything is so good!!! Excellent service. I ordered a catering for my daughter's middle school musical (70+ ppl) and all the food came out on time, crispy, and delicious! Great price for the quality as well. We came again for dinner with the family and again, we enjoyed the ambiance, food, and friendly service. I'll update with catering photo later. For now, just family dinner photo.“

“I absolutely adore Jackson’s Chix tenders! If you’re in downtown Fullerton, you definitely need to stop by. The restaurant has such a great vibe, and the food is simply fantastic. The staff is amazing“

“This was our very first time ever eating Dave’s Hot Chicken and for our first experience it was so perfect! We got lucky and got a chance to snag THE FALLOUT meal! We have been going to so many locations for it and it was SOLD OUT! The staff was so nice to us and we can’t wait to come back again. We got the meal to go but saw how clean and cool this location was so we decided to stay in and eat! Our food was DELICIOUS and I would recommend to come here! We for sure will come again!“

“The breaded Shrimp with rice, beans and the brown sauce! Just like the good ole’ days!“

“Fire fire fire 🐥Great Chicken & Waffle“

“Our food was exceptionally delicious! Wonderful flavors and delicious cucumber mint agua fresca too! Also fun, cozy atmosphere inside too. You can tell when you’re there it’s a very popular eatery, and for good reason! I’ve been there twice in as many weeks and I can’t wait to go again! 😁“

“Yummy chicken sandwich! It’s like Asian version of Chick Fil-A. I tried their 3 for $10 chicken sandwiches today. The chicken sandwich was very flavorful and chicken meat was so tender and perfectly fried without dryness. Highly recommended!“

“This was a really great place, with the food being aweome for a few reasons:
1. The employees and owner were super cordial and very professional.
2. The food was very excellent; with the powered cheese fries being so creative, and I couldn't get over them. Its like powered popcorn, but potato fires, super weird, super creative. I loved it. The chicken was also very awesom, I recommend the secret sauce.
3. The place was clean, had cool shows and music broadcasting with aesthetics that fit for this establishment.
Overall, This place is a Must Be when passing by. You will not be disappointed.

By the way, not sure why some people are giving this place low star's; I've grown up in bad, to good area's, so I know a thing or two, and know that this must be down bad people with a bit of money, or bad attitudes, and just want a free meal or hate on people doing good. You still keep rocking BBQ Chicken. Cheers!“

“I haven’t been there in years but tonight we decided to go tonight it did not disappoint. The chicken is yummy.“

“Great children foods .. it easy fast food and it very delicious 🤤 I will come back after gym“

“Muy rrico y todo fresco delicioso y limpio lugar y personal muy amable y los precios muy razonables 🙌👍🌺“

“Great price for their combo meals.

We got 2 order of the combo wings. The combo comes with 1 medium size pizza, 12 wings, and 1 liter soda of choice.

You’re able to choose 2 sauces for the wings and we got mango habanero, lemon pepper, honey garlic, and something else. For the pizza, we got bulgogi and Hawaiian.

On top of that I ordered the dumpling and rice cake soup which was pretty good. However, there were only like 6 dumplings and lots of rice cake that couldn’t be finished. Towards the end of the soup, it started getting a bit saltier as well.

The price you pay for the amount of food you get is decent. Flavors are good as well. I think the only complaint is that they drench their chicken in sauce which isn’t my preference when eating Korean fried chicken.“

“Outstanding chicken recipes and boba milk tea is to die for !“

“Surprisingly it be actually pretty good 😩“

“First time at this location and it did not disappoint. Great food and service!“

“The food here is pretty good! My friends and I got the Bulgolgi Poutine, Rose Ddeok-Bokki, and the Honey Garlic Wings. I definitely recommend the honey garlic wings, it's super good! The service was great as well-- our server was so sweet and kind, she made sure we were okay. The place is somewhat spacious, there's lots of tables there!“

“Delicious, juicy, chicken with exceptional service. I have never been so satisfied with a fast food chain. $35 easily feeds a family of 4 which is a hard deal to beat. My kids like the fried chicken better, but don't sleep on the roasted chicken because it is so flavorful.“

“The best deal for a party. They supply dishes, utensils and napkins. Not to mention tortillas & salsa’s. Nothing left for you to do but sit back and enjoy.👍 the chicken is fabulous ❤️“

“Ciro!!! Wow! I want to take a moment to recognize an outstanding employee at Dave's Hot Chicken, Artesia, CA branch, Ciro!!! From the very first time we visited, Ciro stood out with his exceptional service and genuine positivity. He is consistently polite, respectful, and radiates a welcoming energy that truly enhances the customer experience.

Ciro goes above and beyond in everything he does. Whether it’s during a rush or a calm moment, he remains calm, efficient, and professional. He handles pressure like a pro. Always with a smile, never missing a beat. It’s rare to encounter someone who brings that level of dedication and grace under stress.

Employees like Ciro are rare gems. I strongly believe that he should not only be recognized but rewarded. He is exactly the kind of team member that any business would be lucky to have.

He truly deserves a promotion and continued recognition for his outstanding contributions. Thank you, Ciro, for being consistently amazing!“

“I love bbq chicken but for some reason I always have problems with this BBQ chicken in fullerton, the chain is amazing but one of the staff here don’t really care for the customers and to be honest I order the same thing every time and this time I ordered my same order but the young girl on the phone said they couldn’t do it yet I’ve been to multiple BBQ chickens and I also called 4 of the BBQ chickens for the same order and there was literally no problem at all. Love the food but the staff is weird“

“friendly service crews…great food“

“Exelente las personas ahí son de lo más atentas y serviciales 10 de 10👍“

“Best chicken EVER!!!! Must go!! Great service, great atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!“

“came here w/ friends for a quick fresh wings + yap sesh ! it was so hot today but their fried wings were so crispy and they have 2.99$ pints of draft beer going on!

super friendly and patient service, perfect place to order food and take ur time yapping with friends.

i highly recommend the wings (house sauce) with cheese powder on the side, and I LOVED THEIR CHEESE BALLS! it was so chewyyy mochi and was a lil sweet.“

“People say this spot has some of the best fast food fried chicken. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their 4 piece meal with half fried and roasted chicken, beans, plantains, and tortillas. Yall know im a bean fiend and these beans were smooth, savory, and flavorful. The plantains were sweet, soft, caramalized, and a bit tart? Not really for me. The roasted chicken was super savory, flavorful, juicy, and actually really yummy. The fried chicken was perfectly crispity crunchy and just as flavorful and juicy. Pro tip is to make a taco using the corn tortilla with all the yummy ingredients. This place is actually pretty good.

4 pc meal $16.30 before tax“

“I ordered Combo number one they were decent size sliders came a coleslaw and pickles it was absolutely amazing I got hot Flavor. The fries had a really nice season on ate every single bite I was full and I was happy this is way better than Dave's hot chicken. If you haven't tried it do yourself a favor and go. Did I mention it's a little cheaper than most hot chicken places. The girl is kinda cute too“

“We had our after Christmas family party today. We eat at Juan Pollo often but, new to

My son, who has a dairy allergy and is a picky eater, absolutely loved it. It’s great to find a spot that not only delivers on taste but also accommodates dietary needs. This place has officially become a new favorite! Highly recommend!“
