“I love it they’re so delicious 😋😍and my daughter she always says chif-aif mamma chif-aif mamma😍“

“Everything was amazing all around. The customer service was on point. One of the workers Kathy was on point, she checked up on us and she just was amazing. The food was great really spicy but that’s the experience we went for when we got the roulette. If I could give ten stars I would.“

“I won't let one weird employee knock my rating down of this location. Usually the customer service is pretty good, but on this day 11/29/25 @ 1030pm The younger guy working the cash register had zero customer service skills. He seemed annoyed at the very first interaction and rushed me through my order. Maybe that's just his personality because he seemed to be like that with everyone. Gotta work on that for real“

“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.“

“First time ordering fried chicken from this place.
I ordered 24 pieces of the legs and thighs.
I wanted to order all legs. But unfortunately not possible.
The chicken tasted really good and crispy.
Though my family prefer the legs more, so ended with lots of thighs leftovers, but all the chicken legs were gone.
I wish they'd allow the option of just chicken legs like Popeyes. I'd come back more if there's that option.“

“The Reaper chicken.
That's what I've been seeing on social media.
I got it. It was hot, but not as hot as everyone made it seem.
Don't get me wrong, it was delicious and very spicy. But it's not for the weak. 👍“

“Exelente servicio pollo campero un buen sabor“

“I tried Bao Chick and their grilled bao with beef was fantastic.
The beef was juicy and flavorful, and the bao was perfectly soft and fluffy.
I loved the combination of textures and the slightly smoky grill flavor.
Overall, it’s a fun spot with tasty food and a casual, welcoming vibe.“

“The chicken is cooked to perfection every time at this location. Customer service is always top tier. I cheated and went to another location and let me just say no comparison what so ever! Anytime I want a 18 piece 😋 😩 Honey Garlic Chicken Wings I'm bringing all family and friends 🧡 to THIS LOCATION! 🤤❤️‍🔥“

“I have been on an elimination diet for 11 months (AIP) and have had to give up eating out because no one serves anything I can have without completely changing the menu item! Chixy Natural’s Paleo Bowl was absolutely delicious! Such simple and yummy ingredients! Best of all, I didn’t have to cook it myself. We will be going there again!“

“Okay, I thought this was one of this joints where you order “Xtra Crack” in the comments and you get some smoking crack. Imagine my disappointment when I opened my bag and all I had was delicious chicken, fries and amazing coleslaw. Honestly though, I think that chicken has smoking crack in it cause I just finished eating and I’m already itching for some more…. Maybe you could help a fella out and get me some chicken? Come on man! Please?!?!?“

“Muy buen servicio y el pollo muy bueno“

“Best chicken and best sauce!“

“My wife and I moved out of southern California 9 years ago and the only thing we really miss, besides family is the Mexican food! This local, no frills spot really hits the mark. The food is on point and meets all our breakfast, lunch and dinner needs! If you’re in the area it’s worth a stop for take out or dinning in the patio area!“

“Great management! Thanks for serving the Costa Mesa community.“

“This is the first place I have found in Orange County that makes a hot chicken that is legitimately too hot to handle. And I say that as I sweat through the next 3 tenders. It's fantastic but I'll actually order something a little milder next time. Get Clucked means business.“

“Now’s famous potato with chicken!“

“Great 👍 n very patient servers! Always helpful.“

“Waffle 🍟 Fries Sauce is Boss“

“Hello, I just wanted to come here to express my feelings about my expierence in this chic fil A, I went through the drive-thru in this location yesterday and I had the best experience I have had in a drive-thru for a while, there was this gentleman working alone outside, his name was Abdul, he was very patient and polite with us taking a while to order, even though he was alone, he provided us with a great experience and great service, the order was 100% accurate and he helped me understand all about the rewards in the app, he's a very nice person and cares about the guest's feelings, from now on this is the location I will be headed to for drive-thru orders.

Thank you for your kindness.“

The service was excellent—staff were polite, welcoming, and very efficient. I also appreciate how clean and well-maintained the restaurant was. It’s always a reliable place for a quick and satisfying meal. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“
