Chicken Shops near Walnut, CA

“I am disappointed to see that this restaurant automatically adds a “staff tip” to pickup orders placed online. A tip should always be a voluntary appreciation from the customer — not a forced charge disguised as a tip. When I am doing all the work — driving to the restaurant, picking up the order myself, and receiving no table service — there is absolutely no justification for a mandatory tip.

It feels manipulative and dishonest to sneak in nearly 10% extra without a clear and upfront explanation. Customers should not have to fight through hidden fees or feel pressured to pay more than the actual cost of the food just to complete an order. This constant push for forced tipping is exhausting and is becoming one of the most frustrating parts of dining in the U.S.

A restaurant should respect its customers and allow them the freedom to choose whether or not to leave a tip. Being forced to pay a “tip” before even receiving the food makes the whole experience negative from the start. I genuinely enjoy supporting local businesses, but practices like this make me question whether I want to order here again.

Please rethink this aggressive tipping policy — forced gratuity is not hospitality, it is a burden on your customers.“

“was able to use my rewards coupon for $10.00 off my purchase. this is a real bargin. just for eating here“

“First time to my sound chicken with friends the service was excellent , she (the Manager) is very friendly and helpful. The fired chicken are so good crunchy and the french fried so tasty. Definitely will come back highly recommend . A+++++“

“I’ve been to plenty of fast-casual spots, but my recent visit to Dave’s Hot Chicken stood out, and that was entirely because of Yeffrey and Isaac. Great food brings you in, but the people behind the counter decide whether you come back. These two made sure I will.
Yeffrey was on it from the moment I walked in. He was friendly and upbeat, and he took the time to make sure my order was right without making me feel rushed. You can tell he genuinely enjoys helping people, and it makes a difference.
Isaac was just as impressive. He kept things moving efficiently while still bringing real energy and warmth to the job. It’s obvious he cares about the customer experience, not just getting orders out the door.
What stood out most was how well they worked together. The whole place felt welcoming and well run, and that kind of atmosphere comes from employees who take pride in their work. The chicken was excellent too, but Yeffrey and Isaac made the visit memorable.
To whoever manages this location: you have two standout employees, and they deserve recognition. I’ll be back, and I hope they’re working when I am.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

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

“We had an amazing time here. The food came out pretty fast and it all was so delicious. There’s a game you can play when you first order and if you manage to stop the timer on exactly 10 seconds you get a free combo. I didn’t win but I thought that was such a fun addition to the experience. We ordered a lot but my favorite was the spicy chicken sandwich with Mac and cheese and pickles. It sounds insane but was pretty spicy and didn’t taste damp or dry, it was literally perfect. I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“My son's father passed away 2 weeks ago, someone gave me a $100 grubhub card to help us out... today my son (16) was having a difficult day so I ordered his favorite comfort food. I can't give him much but tonight I was able to give him my attention & comfort food.“

“Decent foods that make you feel like you’re eating healthy for the day. Fresh juices/drinks.“

“food is fresh hot very very good“

“chicken wings off the hook“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Super friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. The chicken was crispy and juicy. Salsas are definitely worth a try! Food was served straight to our table within 5-10 minutes after ordering. The staff was so helpful in picking out deals and coupons. I highly recommend this place. The prices are low, and just a great establishment overall.“

“Fire fire fire 🐥Great Chicken & Waffle“

“Surprisingly it be actually pretty good 😩“

“It's been over 2 years since I've eaten here. The prices have increased a bit, but the service by Michael was wonderful and the food is still DELICIOUS! 😋“

“It's located next to Mi Pulgarcito Pupiseria Salvadoreña and near GS Ethiopian Cafe. I had went to this plaza for another restaurant but they closed already for lunch. I decided to try this grilled chicken place, reminds me of Juan Pollo or El Pollo Loco. It seems family owned with a young teen taking my order.

I chose to try the 16 piece family special with half spicy and regular chicken ($44.99) which came with 4 large sides, tortillas and salsa. I chose their macaroni salad, potato salad, rice, and beans. I got a lunch special for myself that came with a can of soda. The seasoning on the chicken was good, the spicy chicken had a good heat. The skin was crispy and the chicken was moist. My family did not like the sides of macaroni and potato salad.

The staff was nice and the wait time was not long.“

“Another great KFC from bb.q. Have to eat fresh. Crispy on the outside. Soft and tender meat. They do it right at this location.
Just watch out for any spilled sauce from the box. Bought 2 boxes. 1 small 1 medium. The honey garlic sauce leak from the box. I think the aluminum foil is broken or short one edge. Service is typical. Thus we order pick up.“

“Good chicken“

“I am obsessed with BB.Q Chicken! Their Olive Fried Wings and Kimchi Fried Rice bowl are simply perfect. Every dish is hot, fresh, made to order, and never left sitting. The customer service is outstanding! I always look forward to my next visit. Thank you, BB.Q Chicken—you are truly the best!“

“Love their Christmas lights. And their peppermint shake.“

“I was just going about my day and I meet up with my gradma for lunch and we ended up having Waba grill at this location and it was really nice :)) the food is excellent though and I appreciate kind people who care about their jobs 💪🏼“

“Thank you for sponsoring our Sonora baseball team and the boys love to hang out for team dinner“

“Very good home style meal. Not the cheapest, but good valued meal.“

“friendly service crews…great food“

“My family picks up here at least once every week and I can’t say enough positive things about it. As a fitness nut, it’s important to me to have healthy options and so I often find myself ordering from chicken shops. Since discovering Rostichicken I have stopped going to other shops. The chicken here is fantastic and is very tender; I can pull the skin off to save calories or leave it on to enjoy the crispy skin. The price is also competitive and less than Pollo for higher quality food.

Additionally, the staff is fantastic. They are so welcoming and seemingly in a great mood. They remember me and my daughter, always encourage her to talk, and often give her extra rice which she loves. It all means a lot to myself and my wife but I assure you… I wouldn’t come back if the food was bad. 😉“

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

“Muy buen servicio y la comida lientita“

“Great food! Definitely will go again. Love Chicken“

“if you've never tried it.... your missing out“

“friendly atmosphere, good customer service and very clean“

“Amazing fried chicken“

“I know this shop used to have a not so great reputation in the 90's early 2000's, but honestly this is my go to now for croissants, deep fried fish, and some other Chinese stuff on the side. They have variety as far as their food and I personally love their ham/cheese/jalapeño croissants and their maple bars. Fried fish and chicken is definitely solid compared to other chain restaurants. If you're a pomona local check them out and stop by for breakfast or lunch! ❤️“

“The best service and food as expected. This is another well managed location. I’ll be back😁“

“First time eating there. My granddaughter took me out to lunch and I will for sure go back!“

“Best chicken EVER!!!! Must go!! Great service, great atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!“

“My friend wanted to check this place out since he likes teriyaki flavor, so we decided to give it a try.

I got a medium chicken bowl. It was decent and reminded me of most other places that serve teriyaki bowls, pretty similar to Yoshinoya or Waba Grill.

My friend ordered the chicken combo with avocado, which also came with Thousand Island dressing. The portion size was pretty generous for the price.

Overall, I thought the food was fine, but nothing really stood out to me. It's probably not somewhere I would go out of my way to eat at, but if you're in the area and craving a simple teriyaki bowl, it gets the job done.“

“I don’t understand why this review score is not higher. My wife and I really enjoyed the food here. Every dish we tried exceeded our expectations, and nothing disappointed us. The signature fried chicken was especially delicious and definitely a must-try. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience and would highly recommend giving this place a try.“

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

“Probably one of the most overlooked healthy options for fast food. 🥑 I originally would come in for the guacamole chicken burrito. But I discovered the value menu has the three tacos Al carbon e taco deal for $8 that gets you drinks and a bag of chips. Super tasty, it's quick and healthy. 😘👌“

“Bombdizzle“

“Delicious- lemon dressing on kale and romaine lettuce. Unsweetened ra was also good“

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

“First time trying this restaurant we got the yuzu sandwich and spicy chicken sandwich. My yuzu the chicken was only half the sandwich a small tender. Its missing some cheese flavor is good. The spicy chicken sandwich was ok alot of seasoning dry rub. The best was the curly fries super delicious and crispy. I also didn’t appreciate my side of ranch half filled and i paid for it. Drink were good. No customer service self order options. Restrooms could be cleaner. Location is nice.“

“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.“
