Chicken Shops near Ladera Ranch, CA

“Once the person at the register realized I hadn’t been helped everything was smooth sailing after that. (I do feel when 4 people around the counter there is no reason to not acknowledge someone with a hello.) However, what made it right. The person apologized. I really liked seeing the tables and seats being cleaned, the food being brought out. Plus, what I really liked in the middle of my honey packet and stick fingers they came by with hand wipes and mints. Then back and took my tray when I was done. Sending that person around with those gestures is chefs kiss. And the restrooms were clean and hand sanitizer was in clear sight.“

“The food is high quality and they offer a large array of options such as cauliflower for my vegetarian friends. The meat is also halal which makes me feel more comfortable with what im eating. The staff are helpful and friendly. The place is well maintained, not usually crowded and clean.“

“If you're looking for hot chicken that's packed with flavor and not just heat, Redbird Hot Chicken & Fries needs to be on your radar~

What I loved most is how they focus on building real flavor first, then bringing in the perfect kick of spice. Every bite was crispy, juicy, well-seasoned, and had just the right amount of heat to keep you coming back for more

My absolute favorite was the Chicken Cheese Fries
Loaded with tender hot chicken, crispy fries, melty cheese, and flavorful toppings.

Beside that, the manager is super kind, he went over everything on the menu with us and give us the best recommendations“

“Food was so amazing 😋 . Love this place. I come here regularly and I have built a connection with a very nice worker named Farouk. We have talked about football and other things before. Outstanding service and food. Definitely recommend 💯“

“Really impressed by how consistent this place is. I’ve ordered from multiple locations and the quality has always been solid. The Hainan chicken is flavorful, the broth is comforting, and everything tastes fresh. It’s healthy without feeling boring. Perfect quick lunch option when you want something filling but not too heavy.“

“Great service and very clean“

“What yummy delicious juicy chicken!“

“This place was incredible. Had the 3 Piece Mixed. The seasonings and crunch was perfect. My son had the Fish. The breading was seasoned great. Sides were good. Definitely looking foward to trying more from. The menu. Walked in and they gave us a free sample piece of chicken because it was our first time there. I was all in immediately. The taste mixed with genuine service was something you don't find often. Vernon/Rockville becoming a delicious food hub as of late. So many great options now.“

“Great food. Super nice staff. Thank you. When they say it’s spicy believe them. Dare is almost unbearable. I wouldn’t dare try the double dare. Soooo good.“

“Love this place there food is so clean and tasty. Best chicken spot I have been to. I have been to almost all of them from Dave’s to hotties to Breds. But this one by far is the tastiest and most juicy. If you like your chicken juicy and crispy this is the place to try. Try them out asap if you havnt yet.“

“Brenda, the manager at Chick-fil-A, is absolutely exceptional. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a genuine smile and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. Her kindness, professionalism, and positive attitude truly made my day. Chick-fil-A, Brenda is exactly the kind of leader every restaurant should have you need more people like her. Thank you, Brenda, for turning an ordinary visit into such a wonderful experience!“

“My hangout, healthy choices and some items under $5 while earning points ���“

“El Pollo Loco on Greenfield in Laguna Niguel is one of the best locations in our area. Isabel is the manager and we must say that we've had nothing but a wonderful experience with her, every time we've come here. One time, we were shorted during our drive-through order and we called her, and she immediately took care of it and then some! This evening we were back again and she was so kind to tell us all about their specials and to give us a coupon. She is so professional, courteous, and welcoming! If you want a good Apollo experience come to the Greenfield location, ask for Isabel, you won't be disappointed!!“

“Vegetarian options: The beans and rice combo with Pollo..churro * corn tortillas were excellent and so well priced ..Pls send me more coupons.. It's the only way I can afford to eat out..pls send coupons to me....Delicious .hot food if you are poor or wealthy.. Thanks so much..Amy

Parking: Very easy and reasonable parking even if you are physically disabled..“

“Good quality chicken . Love it“

“We will return. Great food and much cleaner than any other One we have been too.“

“This El Pollo Loco location is always solid! The chicken is perfectly fire-grilled, juicy, and full of flavor every time. The sides are fresh, the portions are generous, and everything tastes made-to-order. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean and well maintained. Quick service and consistently good food — definitely one of my go-to spots!“

“I come here almost 3 times a week...really good“

“Food is always good and yummy. Love their sweet tea and kids meals are the best.“

“The food was good, but the size of the chicken pieces keep shrinking and the price is inflating. I don’t like the kiosk ordering. When I go to a restaurant I want to be served. Also, the kiosk kept making beeping noises while I was eating. Very annoying.“

“They make tasty food in the services typically always good but the size of the chicken fingers is about half of what it used to be 5 years ago which is kind of they make tasty food in the services typically always good but the size of the chicken fingers is about half of what it used to be 5 years ago which is kind of annoying“

“Love this El Pollo Loco near my work. I’ve been coming herea lot for over two years since my job moved into the area, and the food is consistently good every single time. The manager and staff are always friendly, welcoming, and on top of things. Reliable spot with great service.“

“Yesterday i came in For lunch Right before i started eating i notice two asian people Came in a Started changing the air conditioning filters A big no-noo specialy during bussines hours and with out covering the salsa bar or any other area I asked the manager to stop them, he came out talk to them and the continued any way Check my facebook photos and videos...“

“This location runs like a machine. The drive-thru looks chaotic at first glance, but they’ve got people outside taking orders, moving lines, and keeping everything efficient. You’ll think it’s a 20-minute wait and be out in five.

Food is exactly what you expect. Clean, consistent, and done right. Chicken sandwich is always solid, waffle fries hit, and the sauces carry more weight than people give them credit for.

As someone who works locally, I pay attention to operations, and this place is a case study. Clients ask me about places like this when they’re evaluating areas to live because it reflects how well-run a neighborhood is. Sounds small, but it matters.

Staff is polite, quick, and actually seems trained. That alone separates it from half the places out there.

You don’t go here for surprises. You go because it works every time.“

“I wish there was one closer to the Fresno area. I’m a sucker for good popcorn chicken and this one absolutely didn’t disappoint. The chicken was cooked just right. The meat was still nice and juicy. The one thing that I wasn’t a fan of was the fish cake. It tasted like a fishy mochi. Scratch that it wasn’t bad but I would get it again. The chicken for sure is where it was at. The service was friend and the place had a few seats but it was more of a to go place. Oh and the sauces that I got especially the J&G sauce was like a spicy mayo was very good. I think it’s even better than the Cane sauce and would go good with the Raising Cane chicken.“

“This visit was a bit different for me—not due to any issue with the service or the quality of the food, which were both solid. I genuinely enjoy Chick‑fil‑A, but the breakfast portion felt smaller than expected for the price point. My feedback reflects this specific breakfast experience only and shouldn’t be taken as a critique of the store or the organization overall.“

“We had to wait about 5 minutes for our food but it was worth the wait! The chicken was really good! I've been to other locations where the chicken was terrible. So much so that this was the last time I was going to try KFC. But I will be back to this location only!“

“We have being coming to this C-F-A for a while and we have always being welcome by Rodger and his team, Rodger is such an asset for this company. He is always super friendly, he knows my family by name, and that makes us feel like we are eating at home. Food always delicious, fresh, and just perfect. Thank you Rodger and team for always talking care of my family.“

“I had to pick up food for my son and his nurse. The high school kids just got out for lunch. I thought it would take forever but I was so wrong. They had 4 people going car to car taking orders, then one took payment and two delivered orders to the cars, verifying each order. Amazingly fast! I don't eat fast food but everyone loved their food.“

“Food was great. Staff even greater.

Worth noting... building may be due for a full repipe... as a result the women's restroom is pretty heavily rusted.

Sitting on the toilet (admittedly as a broader broad) feels like you're waiting for suntea in granny's rocker on the porch. Needs a new flange and to be remounted at the minimum.

So as to avoid having to do it again sooner, rather than later, consider the repiping.

Of note the manager seemed like this is one of his biggest stressers... trying to get his bosses to agree to the job, while trying to still assuage customers who go through the experience.“

“The fried chicken is on point. Good crunch, taste, everything right. The fries could be good, but they’re always soggy when doing take away. Soggy already at pick up. I really wish you would stop using closed boxes, trapping all the moisture. Instead use the same type of boxes as for the chicken, so the fries stay crunchy as well.“

“The Chick-Fil-A in Foothill Ranch is excellent! The chicken nuggets, waffle fries, Mac and cheese, and fruit cups are always freshly prepared and absolutely delicious! My two toddler sons and I go to this location approximately twice a week, and every visit I am always impressed by how good the service is and how incredibly CLEAN everything is. My sons absolutely love coming here, because the food is so yummy and they love playing in the indoor playground. Additionally, the owner of the Chick-Fil-A is amazing! She is very kind, helpful, and generous with customers. She takes the time to talk with my toddler sons every visit and it is evident that she truly cares about providing guests with a great experience! This is literally the BEST Chick-Fil-A location, and I highly recommend checking it out!“
