“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?!?!?“

“Very good food. Good service. Kind employees. They have events from the local mosque advertised here. I got the extra hot chicken sandwich and a five pack of wings. The wings were a bit messy. The sandwich had the right amount of heat. Small shop and very good“

“Exelente servicio pollo campero un buen sabor“

“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.“

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

“This place is awesome! The gentleman that operates it gave us free samples and more dumplings than we ordered. Not to mention, absolutely delicious! We are so glad we found it. The wings were amazing my wife said they were best wings she has ever had. Will be back soon“

“I came to Dave’s Hot Chicken and had such a great experience! Giselle is honestly one of the best cashier I’ve ever had. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel so well taken care of.
And the chicken here is SO tender and juicy! I’ve been to other Dave’s Hot Chicken locations, but this one is definitely better. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this location and a huge shoutout to Giselle for the amazing service! ❤“

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!“

“I have been to this location a handful of times and have always enjoyed this location. Their staff is always friendly, polite and they are very efficient on getting orders out. Love that they have a play area now!

First time ever experiencing Cow Appreciation Day! We ordered, turned around it was already coming out before we even had a table - so fast! Huge shoutout to Moses, Neal, Angel, Wendell, Nick and Adam! They treated us like family and helped the kids have a fun time at cow appreciation day! Can’t wait till the next event! 🐄“

“I finally tried Jollibee in the seafood city and the chicken definitely lived up to the hype. The fried chicken was extremely crispy and crunchy without being overly greasy, and the spicy chicken had a much bigger kick than I expected, which I ended up really enjoying.

For sides, we tried the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. They were decent, but neither stood out compared to the chicken. The dessert was probably my least favorite part of the meal. It was overwhelmingly sweet for my taste, although some of my family members enjoyed it more than I did.

Overall, the chicken was easily the highlight and is what I’d come back for. The meal did leave my stomach feeling a little upset afterward, but honestly, the chicken was good enough that I’d still consider returning. If you’re visiting for the first time, the spicy chicken is definitely worth trying.“

“Best fried chicken ever! Combination of spices and coleslaw makes your mouth water!“

“I’m going to be completely honest and say that the outside of this KFC does resemble something from the set of a post apocalyptic film. It’s a little daunting from the outside at night. But, let me tell you something, the woman working the window last Wednesday night restored some of my faith in humanity. I had tried to place an order in the app on our way there, but I was unable to, I assume due to it being 29 minutes before closing. We were on our way home and decided to get off the freeway and see if we could order in time. We got there about 20 minutes to closing, half expecting not to be able to order. I never like to order food from a place that is near closing, as I find it highly inconsiderate, but we weren’t close to home and we were hungry, so we did. We ordered the Wednesday chicken fried steak meals at the drive thru, and were so surprised by how happy and friendly the woman working the drive thru was. We felt bad for showing up so close to closing and this woman seemed completely unfazed and genuinely happy to serve us. We got our order, it was hot and it had napkins, condiments AND utensils. It also came with a smile and I appreciate that.“

“El Pollo Norteño food truck supplied food for our 8th grade graduation party. They arrived early to cook and set up. Food was super-fresh and everyone commented on how great it tasted. Truck spotless and shiny; staff efficient and friendly. Overall, a very experienced, professional catered experience with excellent customer service.“

“Delicious place for chicken, chicken salad, soup, and long ga trung non. We got the Mieng Mang Ga and Mien Ga Chien, both of which are tasty. The Thai green tea is really sweet and creamy with richness and depth. The ginger fish sauce is moderate and is on the sour side. The waiter is funny and give us free fried wingslet and free herbal drink. A nice dining experience and we will be back.“
