    “Hands down best hot chicken I have ever had. Rarely I say any place is worth visiting, but this one is. Caution: if you have high heat tolerance, only go as high as Hot. 🥵 anything hotter is at your own risk. Definitely worth any detour to get a piece of Dave’s hot chicken”

    “Stopped in to grab a bite to eat and immediately the music playing was such a vibe. The staff were super nice and welcoming. Got the tenders and fries to go and waited no time for my order so thought aw man this might not be good. WRONG! To my surprise everything was super hot and fresh. Fries were well seasoned and crispy. Sauce was a tad too sweet for my taste but nonetheless still good. Everything was good on its own without the sauce anyway. The mild has a kick to it so glad I didn't go higher for heat. Definitely recommend!”

    “Nashville-style fried chicken, really delicious, but also incredibly spicy… Mini Slider: The portion is truly mini, one bite at a time. I chose the lite mild option, which had almost no spiciness or spice flavor, just regular fried chicken, even the coating was a bit too much and rough. The bread was slightly cold. Tender: I chose the medium option, the spiciness was tolerable, the seasoning was slightly sweet, and it was fried a bit dry. Bite: I chose the second level, extra hot, and it was so spicy… The first bite was fresh and hot, the meat was tender, and the aroma was wonderful, very delicious, but then came an extremely intense burning sensation that spread from my lips and mouth to my stomach. Even after drinking a whole glass of strawberry lemonade, I still felt uncomfortable… As someone from Guangdong China, I really shouldn't try this!!!”

    • Delivery

    “This place has good chicken tenders - I live down the street so I don’t know what the delivery situation is like. Sounds like they use partners like Uber Eats and it hasn’t been working out great for other people based on other reviews.As for this place not being a real restaurant - it is, sort of. These tenders are made in the Rock Bottom kitchen (you can check the Google maps and compare addresses). In fact you can find the same exact tenders at Rock Bottom on their menu. Looks like they just rebranded just the chicken part of their menu to sell.Either way, here’s what to know:- no, there isn’t a separate “Twisted Tenders storefront). But you can eat in if you’d like at Rock Bottom- yes, the chicken does taste good- I’d recommend going to pick it up rather than delivery purely based on experience of others.”

    “bb.q Chicken is a national chain specializing in Korean Fried Chicken and other Korean dishes. The staff here work quick, and are friendly and able to bring out dishes in a timely manner. I typically order after late night work shifts, and the quality of the food has been consistently good. I typically get boneless wings here, and have tried many of the flavors. the original is crispy, though most of the pieces we've gotten were on the spicier side, which may be a deterrent. I've also tried the cheeseling, which is a favorite. It is a dusting of assorted cheeses, making it have a cheesy flavor but not too overwhelming. Portion size is good for the price. Overall, a good place to try out Korean Fried Chicken, plus it is open late, which is good for midnight snacks.”

I don't know what else to say, other than to say that this is the best Spanish food place I've ever ordered from. Given that I am pregnant, they make sure I get exactly what I want to eat; they even made chicken soup for me because I have a celery allergy. I genuinely love this place and will never stop ordering from them.”
