“I gave up on KFC years ago when I would order a combo and get greasy below par chicken from a different location. This KFC has restored my faith in KFC. I've been to this KFC a few times now. It's been consistently delicious. The chicken is juicy, hot and delicious. The biscuits are warm, soft and tasty. The mash potatoes are superb. I'll be coming back often.“

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

“El pollo está muy rico lo recomiendo.“

“Thank you so much to the staff!

We arrived during the last 25 minutes before closing, and we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. The staff took the time to explain the menu and help us with our choices

Thank you again for such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back earlier next time 😊🫶“

“Do yourself a favor, go let Juliet serve you the best damn mozzarella sticks you'll ever have. And the best damn chicken you put in your mouth. The kitchen crew are top-tier and it went a game lets out at Anaheim stadium they know how to rock it out with kindness and Grace.
Seriously though Juliet's awesome go see her“

“I will say the service is nice. The people were friendly. It was my first time there. I asked the guy who work there making the food what did he recommend. He stated he gets for fries w/ medium heat. I got them with the chicken sandwich. The fried were good. Great choice. The chicken sandwich was good as well slightly drier then use to but good. The fries was where it's at.“

“honestly my favorite hot chicken spot. super glad to have one within 5 minutes of me!“

“Got my food at the Newport Location. Much smaller location, a few tables, better for pick-up. Other than that, the food is wonderful! Got the Dave Bites w/ Fries. So flavorful! Dont even really need the sauce, but that's also tasty. Got the Oreo top Shake w/ Strawberry ice cream YUM!!! Thay might have to be a staple everytime i order lol“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Fire fire fire 🐥Great Chicken & Waffle“

“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!“

“Muy buen servicio y el pollo muy bueno“

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

“This chicken is absolutely AMAZING. I am gluten free and very much enjoyed the 50/50 plate with the regular and sweet and sour. SO GOOD. Even better - I have now found a fried chicken place to share with friends who don't have gluten issues. I'd share a picture... but it smelled so good, I forgot to take one and we ate it all.“

“Tried the half chicken meal and the $1 chicken tacos. Plenty of food at a good price, salsa and homemade tortillas included. Order at counter and take out was ready quickly, friendly service. All tasted good and recommend! They also have churros and Thriftys ice cream.“

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

“For Mothers Day We ordered the Jumbo Meal 3 Chickens and All 3 xl sides Potato Salad because we had rice and beans at the house. It was amazing as always still hot after a 20 minute drive. My in-laws picked it up and drove it down to South County for a visit. It fed 9 people and we got seconds. The Potato salad here is the best! I could eat it every other day. Such an amazing texture. I have gone to other chicken spots and they are good but Juan Pollo is the best.“

“First time checking this place out with the family this afternoon. Delicious spicy chicken, family friendly, and the kindest staff that make you feel like home. Hoping you get a location in San Francisco one day! 🙏🏼“

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

“Absolutely no complaints here! Each time I order from here it delivers! Winner, winner, chicken dinner, right? lol. I usually get the half-and-half wings. I've enjoyed pretty much their entire lineup. They've turned me into a regular.“

“There are many BBQ Chicken locations, but this particular spot is great because they serve the chicken piping hot, fresh out of the fryer. Plus, their tteokbokki is tastier than at other branches. Personally, I think it’s even better than the tteokbokki at Yeop-tteok, Jaws Tteokbokki, or Jopok Tteokbokki.“

“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.“

“I get the spicy deluxe chicken sandwich and I ask for extra slices of American cheese. I do get the Chick-fil-A sauce so that I can dip the sandwich into it, but if you are in the mood for an even spicier sandwich, I would go with the zesty buffalo sauce! 5-stars for food and service!“

“Chicken was really good and crispy. We’ll be back. Pickled veggies on sandwich really good“

“Yesterday afternoon I went to visit Koko Chicken in Garden Grove. It wasn't very busy. There was probably one other table seated and some people coming in and out for takeout orders. The server was very friendly, very attentive, and great about taking my order.

They only make the chicken fresh here; it's all made to order. They dropped off some pickled daikon and some coleslaw-like cabbage dish and then I waited for about 15-20 minutes before the chicken came out fresh. I got a two-piece crispy fried chicken with fries and steamed rice. He also brought out ketchup and the sweet soy on the side for me. The chicken was so juicy and crispy on the outside; it was amazing, definitely one of the best fried chicken experiences in Orange County. If you need a quick lunch this might not be the spot but it's a great place to have phenomenal fried chicken. It's a dark vibe inside but I know at night it's fun to drink and eat here with your friends. I will definitely come back.“

“After a fun, family day at the park, we headed over to Knott’s Chicken Dinner. There were 7 of us. Our daughter in law gave us a heads up that the portions are big and sharing is a great way to go. The menu has a wide variety of chicken choices. My wife and I got the roasted chicken. It was AMAZING! The rest of the group got chicken fried steak and fried steak. All DEE-LISH! Dessert is included and we had boysenberry pie and boysenberry ice cream! Beyond good!! But aside from the food, the real highlight of our meal experience was our wonderful waitress Belinda.! She was the best. Friendly and attentive and worked hard to keep our group happy. She went above and beyond with us when we inquired as to whether we could get some of that boysenberry ice cream to go. She went back and chatted with her manager and was able to find a solution for us. We were able to leave the restaurant with about a pint of that delicious ice cream. It was a great family, dining experience and again, Belinda just made it that much more special! Hopefully when you go to eat there, she is your waitress.“

“The chicken joy are awesome. I suggest to put an extra sauce on the spaghetti... look pale“

“Just right. We were a party of four. We were seated immediately. Being from North Carolina I was excited they had great sweet tea! The hot buttered biscuit sandwiches were delicious. I also got a buckwheat wafflw that was perfect. Another in the group got the chicken tenders. The breading was crispy and delicious. It came with a waffle that they said was amazing. The third order was chicken chili over white rice. Also a big hit. Lastly was the red beans, rice and corn bread. They were all large portions. Rosco's offered both regular and sugar free syrup and their own hot sauces. Service was top notch.“

“Amazing fried chicken“

“So good! I got the crunchy garlic chicken wings but the cheese balls OMGG sooooo amazing I was not expecting how good they were crispy deep fryed in a very slightly sweet batter filled with a chewy melted white cheese! I feel its a must try!“

“If you want a delicious, quick and easy meal Pollo campero in Stanton is a great place to go. This location has outstanding customer service. They will treat their customers, right. Provide all the a little extras that make it worth it and the food is superb. I highly recommend.“

“I love Pollo Campero. It’s been over 45 years since I last enjoyed their EXQUISITE chicken.

What a surprise to randomly find them as I was driving. My lucky day.

Huge congratulations to the corporation that grew from 1 store to now several hundred locations. You make the world’s best fried chicken.“

“Started coming here when my dad would take the family it's been 10 yrs now still amazing food (posting after 8 years) food quality still amazing just wish they kept the old containers for the teriyaki plates the new eco friendly ones break apart too easily and rice sticks to the bottom“

“friendly service crews…great food“

“Went through drive thru for breakfast. Not many cars. Have been here for lunch when a team member (or two) is taking orders before the board many times. Usually keeps moving. Took about 30 min so maybe someone had a large order. I will still come back for the taste.“

“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“

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

“El mejor pollo rostisado que he probado, su sabor y textura es incomparable..“

“Some of the most delicious rotisserie chicken you will find. Best rotisserie chicken in Orange County. I love coming to this place. The quality of the food is really good. The chicken is high-quality. The service is great. Make sure to get the hot sauce. It is delicious.“

“No need more explanation. You can get chicken to go. Just park right across the street for free for 1-3 hours and grab your meal. Country gravy is very good.
Chicken is of course not vegan but i guess mashed potato could be vegetarian if without gravy“

“Great food 🥘 Fast service super friendly. Will be back!!“

“Good food, love the chicken, the ube pie is also worth getting“

“This fried chicken place is amazing! The chicken was perfectly crispy, fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor—easily one of the best I’ve had! 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!“

“We had our after Christmas family party today. We eat at Juan Pollo often but, new to
catering. Everything was perfect..the staff, the ease of ordering plus pick up. The most important part was the amazing food everything was perfect.“
