Best southern style chicken sandwich in OC. Also they’re sweet tea is the only real sweet tea in California.

This is the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever eaten. The food took a little time but it was clearly cooked to order. The breading on the chicken and the seasoning really blew me away. Love the slaw, pickles, bun, and the fries too. The sauces were good but nothing too special. The big sexy sauce had a franks red hot base and the comeback was essentially a jazzed up ranch. I wouldn’t bother with either. Their ketchup was surprisingly good too. No joke I’d pay $20-25 for the sandwich and fries I ate. ambience was fine.

First time at this location and the service was wonderful. Staff is very friendly and helpful. My favorite is the chop – I would have liked for the chicken to be hot or warmer. Easy parking in front.

Went there recently with my friend and our two dogs. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. While we were eating, an employee brought us out unbreaded chicken strips free of charge for our two dogs to enjoy. We weren’t expecting that at all either so it was really nice. Every time I go to Huntington Beach , I will stop by and enjoy their food.

The food was delicious, I will definitely be coming back. The staff was very friendly, I didn’t know how spicy the flavors are but the guy was very helpful in telling me about the flavors. The French fries are also delicious

I ordered the Chicken Sandwich. I liked it! It seemed to be missing any sort of “wow” factor, but the brioche bun-to-chicken ratio was just right as to not be overwhelming, the pickles and cole slaw provided a crunch while not being distracting (nor overly exciting), the “medium” spice level I ordered felt honest to its name (if not a tad milder than expected), and the “comeback sauce” was pleasant enough. The spicy fries and dipping sauce weren’t anything spectacular, but overall, a well balanced and fresh sandwich.

Disappointed in our takeout order. It was messy and everything appeared to be tossed in a box with minimal chicken. The kids did not enjoy the Mac and cheese. It tastes more like macaroni in a béchamel sauce with no cheese flavor. The chicken, what little we got, was flavorful.

The ranch was thick, the service was good, and the food was amazing. The amount of spice was as advertised. Excellent Chicken and Waffles

The food was pretty good. The batter they use on the chicken was just right and allowed it to be crispy. The spice levels are accurate. I really liked the fries.

Let me start by saying, the food is pretty good! The chicken sandwich is big, juicy, and spicy (you can pick the heat ). The tenders are BIG and the macaroni and cheese is really good. Nice location right around the corner of Main St. That being said, no adults seem to work here and the teens that are working enjoy hanging out with their friends as much as they enjoy working. Makes it harder for customers to get good service if employees are “busy” and the food is not cheap.
