50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Rowland Heights

“Never been to a Dave’s Hot Chicken before, but this is my niece’s favorite fast food restaurant so it was suggested we come here for lunch.

I was not hungry so just split a chicken tender and fries with my sister, while the nieces and nephews ordered their own combos.

The chicken tender I ate was good, would considered trying it in the future. It was definitely better with Dave’s Hot Honey, which I think is the same brand we order a gallon at a time for work with our banquet orders.

Quality whole pieces of chicken and good spice blends, I can taste why it is a favorite. The fries are decent on their own, but next level with Hot Honey or Dave’s Sauce or Reaper Ranch.

Price point is higher than a McD, but quality is also higher. Worth it for the quality received.

5 stars for the food.

4 out of 5 overall.“

“The lunch meal deal from 10am-4pm is perfect. The boneless chicken is large so the price is very fitting. Good thick fries, amd their sauces are very tasty as well! Also good entertainment in the resturant as well with a few TVs playing different things. Overall, this is a great wings place!“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“El pollo está muy rico lo recomiendo.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jose D provided excellent service! Even though it was busy, he stayed friendly, quick, and efficient the whole time. He got my order right, kept things moving, and had a great attitude.

It’s not always easy to find that kind of service in fast food, but Jose really stood out. I appreciate the great experience!“

“Great food with the perfect balance of flavor not too salty and not overloaded with sauce. Everything was cooked to the perfect consistency. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Overall, just a great place with excellent food!“

“So excited to find this place. It’s been a favorite for a long, but didn’t know one was so much closer than the Downey and Long Beach locations. Haven’t had a bad meal yet, and my favorite is the Garlic Twister. And the service here is very friendly“

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

“The food was great. We asked for a lot of salad refills. Our server Madison was very friendly. Chicken was great. It's all baked. I love Korean chicken. Every time I come back to Buena Park, I always come here. Best chicken in town. Gobble chicken forever!“

“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!“

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

“Fire fire fire 🐥Great Chicken & Waffle“

“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“

“About 3.9 stars. A warmer chicken patty where it doesn't make me guess whether the chicken is fully cooked would take it to 4 stars. My chicken was fully cooked, just colder than expected. The best part next to the flavor is that the chicken is real whole chicken, not the fake ground up chicken patties found in all the big chains. They provide American yellow pickled chilies as a compliment which complements the chicken really well. This compliment should never be removed under any circumstances. Some chains like Curry House started loaing business after quietly trimming down on compliments, eventually closing & leaving California.“

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

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

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

“Michelle was so nice and helped us get the best deal. The chicken was hot and fresh, and came out very fast. I would definitely come back. Michelle is Awesome and Deserves a promotion with a Big pay raise, you need more empolyees like her.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Awesome place! Crispy outside and tender on the inside, with good packaging to make sure it doesn't get soggy. The Yangyeom is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, but the original is good too. Will try the buldak next time. Highly recommended.“

“Nice lunch/takeout spot in the area. It is one of the reliable go-to place in the area.

Hainan chicken is nice and definitely lighter meals to go for. Fried is solid but better chances when the owner makes them himself. The price point is very approachable and nice. However, I find this place inconsistent with portion and service time-to-time.

I know big chains can be reliable but we need more restaurants like this that could provide you something different and wider options. I hope this place does well.“

“Amazing fried chicken“

“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 ❤️“

“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! 😁“

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

“My wife and I are Orange County residents who have tried to have dinner at Knotts' Chicken Dinner Restaurant at least once every a year for a number of years. We dine there recently after a stressful week, and wed found things exactly as we hoped.
We were seated very quickly, and we found our favorites -- the chicken, rhubarb, and the cabbage -- as satisfying, tasty, and enjoyable as we have always found them to be. Overall, it was a great dining experience.
I particularly want to commend our service er for the evening, a young (at least to us octogenarians) man named Ben, whose attention without hovering and friendly, caring manner truly made our meal delightful.“

“friendly service crews…great food“

“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“

“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“

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

“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“

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

“Very nice spot to get some food in this plaza that is accessible from the first floor. We immediately got seated inside and they also have outdoor seating as well. Pretty good menu for this type of fried chicken. We ended getting chicken wings in both their signature sauce and the hot spicy. The signature is more on the sweet side with a very very light kick, the hot spicy is in fact very very spicy and if you can’t handle heat I would stay away but it was very crunchy and delicious! My favorite by far were the spicy dumplings! So juicy and spicy but super enjoyable! I want to go back and just get 3 orders of those they were so amazing! A nice little spot to hang out with friends and enjoy the community there.“

“Chicken and little dry and rice needs flavor
My guess is when you go and pick up food utensils are in the bag provided from vendor but to my surprise I got to work and no fork to eat my rice and potato salad.
I don't think you need to remind vendor to put utensils in the bag.
Poor costumer service“

“That place tastes nice Those people know me my usual food is half chicken meal they know me and they know my food the workers who make food they know me and I like it there
Thank you so much Juan pollo covina for knowing me and for the good food“

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

“ots really good i havent had any bad experiences their. the food is really good spicy. chicken my favorite. Mac & cheese. Your in and your out. i like it must try“

“I've been a fan of Dave's Hot Chicken, but the slider at this place is as good, and even exceeds the current Dave's. The problem is the waiting time; you need to wait three times compared to Dave's, so I recommend calling and ordering in advance.“

“After ~24 hours of travel and flights my family wanted to go to a burger place for a quick dinner before sleep. We were tired and arguing, ready to throw in the towel, but The Breakfast Factory delivered! Double cheese burgers, the loaded fries, delicious. This feels like it saved my marriage, my children still love me, and the holiday is off to a good start all due to the service and food here!
Thanks so much. Will certainly be back in the next few days as I can walk from the Hilton Brea! :)“
