Their chicken is very crispy, freshly fried, and juicy. The service is always excellent and fast. The price is reasonable.

First off, THE.BISCUITS.ARE.FIRE. A tiny hint of maple honey butter on top (I think) which leads into a perfectly pillowy on the inside/slightly crispy on the outside biscuit. I’m not a big maple fan but this was a light enough touch and it went so well. YUM.
My son and I did a sampling (via delivery) for lunch. Tastes like good homemade grocery store food (in a good way, not over processed/conceptualized). The chicken tenders with the salt and pepper seasoning and onions and peppers were great. The chicken tenders pulled apart easily into bite sized pieces. Quality was on par with most chicken-focused joints. I dipped in ranch, house sauce, and honey mustard which were all decent. Macaroni salad was solid, potato salad surprised me - it was not as bland as I was expecting for a restaurant (homemade is always so much better, but this was good). The jambalaya was a little dry but had good flavor. The spicy fries are good. The serving size of the sides is maybe a 1/4 pint. Definitely get the buy-1-get-1. I would not pay $5.50 for 1/4 pint, but $2.25 is fair.

I like that the chicken is fresh. But not feathers still on it fresh. There were still feather parts on the fried chicken.

It is in the food court of the 99 ranch market. To be honest my expectations were very little after reading the reviews but I really like it. Even though we were there around evening everything was fresh. We got sandwich, tenders and classic chicken wings. For me, now this restaurant is alternative to Dave’s hot chicken. It might be yours as well if you are looking especially for an halal option. Will definitely visit again!

I had the chicken tenders, and I thought they were extremely "meh". They weren't bad, but they weren't good: they were barely warmer than room temperature, the seasoning was alright (not amazing, but not bad), the chicken itself wasn't very crunchy at all, and the price point is higher than similar fast food fried chicken places that I think have much better (and much fresher) fried chicken. It was a convenient place to grab some decent fast food if you're already shopping at 99 Ranch (though I think even the chicken you can get from Vons just across the street is better than this), but I absolutely would not go out of my way to get food from here when there's so many places to get much better fried chicken so close by (e.g. Popeye's, KFC, and Epic Wings right next to each other on Convoy, or Padadak and Cross Street fairly close by if you want something nicer).TL;DR: Not bad, but not good, and not as cheap as you'd expect for the quality.
Parking: There's a parking lot outside that is pretty big and always has plenty of spots.
Wheelchair accessibility: I believe 99 Ranch (which this is inside of) is wheelchair accessible
Dietary restrictions: Chicken and fish options, so this place is fine for folks who don't eat beef or are pescatarian. I also think I remember seeing that it's halal

This was the best fried chicken I ever had. It was so juicy and flavorful. Way better than KFC or pop eyes.
Fish was good but does not look like the picture on their web page. The Jambalaya was horrible rice and meat was dry, no type of creaminess or seasonings.
The chicken is delicious and crispy and very tasty ?
