I'm so sad this place didn't renew their lease agreement. I started working for this mall again and typically I'm use to seeing them open, for years they've been apart of the Hillsdale Food Court. Their menu options was insanely great, they were known for the famous chicken sandwich, tenders and family buckets and serving beer. I'm definitely going to miss the friendly staff and their food. Hopefully Hillsdale brings in another Southern Comfort or American BBQ type food, as I'm tired of seeing so many Chinese type foods (not racist) however there's a Sarku, Panda Express, Kuro-Obi, Palette Tea Garden, and Uncle Tetsu..... Nevermind Flores is going to be taking this spot, funny thing is you literally have El Grulense Mexican Food next to that vacancy. Good luck to Flores, hopefully Winner Winner can open close by San Mateo in the same city for all the advocates.

Winner Winner's last day was 1/31/2024 so I wanted to try the remaining items on their menu that I didn't get to try as I did like how crispy their chicken sandos were. I had ordered through UberEats since I couldn't leave work and it was pouring rain outside. I had to take a late lunch to eat and was so excited for the foods (especially the tots & fries cuz I love my potatoes), unfortunately, none of my sides were included. I tried calling my driver but he didn't speak ENG so I was out of luck. I'm so glad I had tried the chicken sandos first because the tenders had such thick batter and were so dry. I had ordered the mild, however, it was spicier than xxx Cheetos (which I can eat)! Luckily I had also ordered milk tea to help calm my taste buds. I did enjoy the fish fillet and the fried chicken as they were crispy and still moist inside. Wishing them the best in their next endeavors and hopefully they improve.

The quality never changes! This dry-rub hot chicken spot in a large mall food terrace is sure to satisfy your spicy needs. Bone-in chicken is now back on the official menu, the one on the wall! We ordered through the official platform, which was understood as GrubHub by the guys up front. What we ordered: Whole bird with two sides (spice level 3)- These prehistorically-sized bone-in chicken pieces are flavorful, but the breast needs some more seasoning. Spice is the dominant factor though, but level 3 is getting a bit less spicier (or our spice tolerances are building up)! Maybe they should add some hot oil to it, as this is a dry rub seasoning! Come back sauce is bomb and a great accompaniment to that already delicious chicken. One to two pieces of that chicken (with a little bit of side) is already filling enough for one person, no other food from the court needed! 50/50 (tater tots and fries)- crispy, piping hot potato bits in a paper bag! These strips and potato balls are seasoned ever so lightly to create a balance between the flavor and texture of the overall dish! Coleslaw (branded as "Tangy Slaw")- not that delicious. Part of it was bland, the other part felt like it was slathered in vinegar. The lettuce was crunchy and crisp though, a sign of its freshness. Comeback sauce- A sauce so epic it deserves its own little section! Sweet and tangy but yet not overpowering. Service wise, the two young men working at the counter were nice. They forgot the sauce packets (not too big of an issue), but they forgot the 50/50 tots and fries! They also only gave one set of utensils (heck, for a family of four?) (Hence, -1 star) Overall, this humble chicken shop in the Hillsdale food terrace is definitely a winner! The food court is always loud, an extrovert's dream! It was less crowded, so it was easier to find a table.

Dry rubbed chicken wings, it's spicy lol so make sure to not order spicy if you can't handle it. Tator tots were super crunchy and my super picky kid loved it. This place is located upstairs foodcourt at hillsdale mall.

Tyler Gipson the cashier was so very friendly. He took my order with a smile, and a good attitude. He asked all the right questions like, "Are you allergic to anything?", "How has your day been?", "What are you doing after this?". I recommend this place not because of the food, or the ambience. No. I recommend Winner Winner Chicken Dinner in the Hillsdale Shopping Center for Tyler, Tyler Gipson. -Zayotven

We love this place! Definitely in the bi-weekly rotation of places to eat. I used to always get the chicken sandwich, but I recently tried the fish fillet sandwich and it's just as good! My husband always gets the chicken tenders, and has lowered the spice level from 4 to either 3 or 2 haha. The spice is no joke!! The tots are super crispy, and our toddler loves the mac n cheese here too. Great place!!

Chicken was crispy, spices were crazy accurate so if you are not use to your mouth and tastebuds on fire, do not get the #4/5. The fries were delicious as well. Thank you for letting me try the flavors before I purchased.

Service was perfectly fine, but I am a bit divided on the food. Tater tots were so crispy they felt dry to me? If you're the kind who gets well done fries at In n Out you probably won't mind though. They weren't burnt at all, just...really crunchy. The fish sandwich was tender but I somehow found it slightly blander than I expected, perhaps more slaw or tartar sauce or something would have helped? I actually thought the chicken tenders were pretty solid, I liked that they weren't the typical tenders breading but more like fried catfish breading, so there wasn't a thick crust over the chicken. And overall I didn't think the servings were very large (I know, I know, inflation...) But we ordered three tenders with a side and the fish sandwich and I would say we weren't hungry but we weren't that full either. So average serving sizes by our experience, not large. For the price point I actually probably wouldn't go back, but admittedly we didn't try their fried chicken.

My husband and I were happy chicken has come to our neighborhood. No more driving to South City to Love Burn unless we're craving them. Portions were huge and instead of one sandwich for me and one dinner for him, we could've easily split one meal and both had more than sufficient. We each brought half home (unusual for the hubs). This chicken is solid. Juicy. Crispy. Nice folks. And nothing special. Nothing to complain about. It's just that it wasn't particularly flavorful. There was no yahoo! here. My husband's mac and cheese was the same way, acceptable and not flavorful. I had tater tots. They were great! Who complains about tater-tots? Not I! For mall food, it's a fine option. But I don't think you'll find something here that would compel you to go to Winner Winner if you weren't already at the mall.
FoodIs just ok, plenty of fried chicken places exist that are going to be on par or better.ServiceJust horrendous service. From my one experience there, the front employees really just do not care. I watched them mess up someone else’s order, having him have to come up more than once to correct it, and they really didn’t care at all.I ordered with the name AJ. And I heard them call out Albert among the many names they called. They never attempted to call that name again, and I am standing right there and the guy that took my order doesn’t even know it’s mine I guess. Turns out it was and it was just sitting out there for 10 minutes.

(Delivery) - Nashville hot chicken sandwich was better than average. - Smashburger was plain.

Food was good and the folks working were very friendly! Chicken sandwich was nice and crispy, and at Medium spice level actually had a decent kick. Mac and cheese was nothing special but not bad. Nice folks + good food so I’ll be back for sure.

Came here just for a side of fries to appease some toddler appetites. Their small order of fries is actually quite sizable and was more than enough not just for two toddlers to share, but also for two adults to munch on. Not too greasy, hot and nicely fried, we were happy with what we got. Now to come back and try more items on the menu!
