This place is my new spot for Nashville hot chicken. Hands down the best Nashville hot chicken sandwich in OC. Given them a try and check out their menu for lunch and dinner. The place is fire. I recommend eating there or at the outdoor seating for the best experience. Take out option is still solid. The bird is spicy and flavorful and holds great.

Crew was friendly and accommodating. I ordered the havarti chicken sandwich, corn fritters and the croissant beignets; I asked for the beignets to come out after my food so I had a chance to eat.The chicken sandwich.. holy hell hot and fresh; there was steam coming off the sandwich. It had a nice crunch to it with a lot of flavor.The corn fritters had a nice crunch and a really good spicy flavor. The beignets also were super hot! The caramel was sooo good, the beignets were flakey.My husband got the Nashville hot, he is a heat lover and it took him out! He loved it. Fries were hot and delicious, the ranch was perfect.Edit: visit 2 the chicken on the Nashville chicken sandwich was pretty greasy, but the flavor was good.

My boo and I frequently visit this place now and then. I love its location because there are plenty of seats available at the back, inside, in front, and on the side of the building. Regarding the food, my go-to items are the loaded fries and the biscuit sandwich. The first time I tried the loaded fries, I chose the hot flavor and it was so spicy that I couldn't handle it. The spice level here is nothing compared to Dave's Hot Chicken. The second time I visited, I ordered mild, but it was still too spicy for me. So, on my third visit, I ordered light, and it had a mild spice that I could handle. I highly recommend the loaded fries as it comes with everything - slaw, chicken, fries, pickles, and their sauce. However, the ratio of chicken and fries is always different. Sometimes you get more chicken than fries, or vice versa, but it still tastes great. Every bite is a burst of different flavors in your mouth. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this place, but keep in mind the spice level depending on your tolerance. The service here is quick, and the people working there are always the best!

It's a good place customer service is good Flavor on the chicken also very good depending on your tolerance go for the medium for a good spicy after that is just not recommended. My stomach hurt for a whole day after eating their spiciest recipe

Came to get some chicken sandwiches for dinner. I got the medium hot which had a nice kick to it but wasn’t enjoyable. They use a dry rub, which is really tasty. The chicken breast was juicy. You have to use your box to let all the juices fall on your fries. staff was friendly. We were in there late and they didn’t kick us out and let us know they were gonna turn off the fountain machines if we wanted to refill although everything was really tasty and the service was great. I was a little surprised when I got the check. It was about $70 for three people,And they charged me for ranch. I have a little bit of pet peeve against having to pay for condiments. Overall, the food was really delicious. I would give this place a five star review if I didn’t feel it was a little bit high on the price scale.

Service was pleasant, staff was friendly. Price was higher than anticipated. Almost $7 for a side of mac and cheese, which wasn't flavored too well. Some was creamy, some was dry and flavorless. Chicken sandwich was big, but overall a bit salty. Restaurant was clean and well-lit.

Over $16 for a small chicken sandwich? This is absurd. It was tasty but I think they need to hop off their high horse and get real with the pricing. Just because they have a fancy box doesn't mean I need to pay for the fancy box. Crazy stuff.
I have been coming here for a little over a year and I really like the Nashville chicken sandwich. The slaw is vinegar based which I love and the chicken breast is a decent size. But I have always thought the price is a bit high considering it's around 15 bucks for just the sandwich with no fries. I returned today 2/1/24 to see the price has gone up to almost 17 bucks! I know inflation is happening to almost anything we consume now but there's a point where the price is just too high for what you're getting. This is just a sandwich and not to throw in fries which aren't a expensive side is crazy for the price! I like the food but I'm going to have to cut this out of my lunch options at work. I just can't justify this price and I don't like feeling like I was ripped off for my hard earned money. I will miss the sandwich but not the steep price!

Been coming here almost 3 years and their service is still awesome, only reason for 2 stars instead of 1. Really upset because they forgot 2 of my items when they told me everything I ordered was in the bag. There were at least 3 short, black, straight hairs in my loaded fries, and the chicken was overcooked and extremely dry. I'll likely not come back for a while, hopefully it was just a one off bc they used to be awesome

Food was excellent! I highly recommend the food. The wings were exceptional. The chicken is cooked to order and served hot and juicy.

Solid spot to get your Nashville Hot Chicken fix. I've enjoyed both the chicken sandwich and the tenders. Both heat levels of medium and hot are approachable to people who enjoy spicy foods. The chicken is juicy and fried perfectly, the Nashville variety gets properly dredged in the spicy oil before being seasoned with a great blend of spices. Service is quick and friendly and the staff ensures you have a great experience in the restaurant. Indoor seating is limited, but the patio seating is expansive. One day I'll return to order something outside of the NHC, the Buffalo chicken sandwich looks particularly inviting.
