Surfin' Chicken Grill Reviews
The owner/chef is a nice dude with portions as big as his personality.
For those unfamiliar- think home cooked “el pollo loco” if you will.
His wife is the other chef and prep cook. I like simple food and the Half chicken with rice and beans is my go to since 2018.
Local tip: this is a couple who’s been running the joint for over 40yrs, the husband is the only cook and sometimes his wife hopes over to help turn out meals. Sometimes the chicken is underdone...read full review

Surfin' Chicken Grill is a local gem that has won over diners with its delicious and fresh offerings. The Carne Asada Nachos, described as "so freaken good" and filled with two types of cheese, have been a hit, with one customer claiming to have finished the entire plate - a rarity. The Mahi tacos have received praise, and the Mahi burrito with mango salsa has been called divine. Many customers recommend getting the whole chicken with lemon and garlic sauce, noting its delicious flavor and great pricing. The grilled chicken, cooked in front of the customers by the friendly owners, is a highlight, with one reviewer declaring it the "best chicken in town." The prices are solid, and the staff is super friendly and accommodating, creating a great family atmosphere. Despite a minor issue with the ice machine, the overall dining experience has been extremely positive, leaving customers eager to return.
