50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Hillcrest Heights

“I’ve been here at least 100 times.

I always call in advance and my food is always ready in “20 mins”.

I ordered the Fajita Mixta, which comes with chopped chicken, steak, and shrimp (4 pieces).

Honestly, this flavor is unmatched.

Only things I don't like is paying .35cent per extra sauce because I love sauce, so that's easily an extra $1-2, and not being able to sit in and eat “comfortably”. Please don't expect to be able dine-in.

Let's watch THE GAME“

SO GLAD something in town hasn’t changed from the old days!“

“Our server made our dining experience enjoyable. He stated that he doesn't write down orders and we put his skills to the test. The food was good, we could tell that the menu has changed. The Peach Bourdon Sangria was really good. If you're in the Gallery Place/Chinatown Area, go to Clyde's!“

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

“I forgot about how good this place was. I was in the area and decided to drive by to pick up dinner for my family. The Big chicken sandwich and the individual pieces of chicken were fresh and tasty. The sweet tea was great as well. Staff was polite too and the price for everything was very reasonable.“

“service is excellent, clean and warm environment. situated on King Street food tasty“

“I was new to the area and just finished a job and was extremely hungry. After scrolling around I found a place that had some food I recognized. Little did I know it would be one of the best plates I’ve had EVER! I had the chicken wings with O.G. Hot Sauce. OMG!!! The crispy breading. The flavor. The tender meat. I couldn’t stop licking my fingers. The waffle fries were well seasoned and fresh. I enjoyed myself thoroughly. I also want to add that the hostess was so patient with me because I didn’t have a clue what I was going to get. Absolutely outstanding. Five stars all around.“

“This is the perfect place to stop in and grab a quick bite. There is one table, and plenty of space inside of the bar next door to eat, but I love having the option to just grab-n-go when I want something really good to eat at home. There is a good amount of side options and entrees, and you can order from a couple different menus, similar to a ghost kitchen, if you're in the mood for a different type of cuisine.“

“Their food is the best my favorite is torta mexicana ,pescado frito their fries taste so delicious dip in there white sauce I also Love their customer service and how family-friendly they are . There dessert is die for .“

“Very nice shopping center for ward 7 🫶🏿“

The sides are also fantastic. The customer service is also wonderful, thank you to Juan and Wendy. Please keep the good job!“
