If you need a change from fried chicken, try their amazing Downward Dog or Anti Salad Power Bowl! Both were refreshing, felt light and healthy (especially after a hike in the nearby Angeles Forest). The Power Bowl was warm and came with quinoa, grilled chicken, salsa, picked onions, avocado and egg. The downward dog was served cold but had an amazing topping of crunchy chickpeas and lemony dressing. We placed an order for pickup but it's a cool spot for dine in.

Enjoyed the wings and fries. The place is super big and servers were great. Will definitely go back here

Super disappointed! We drove 30 minutes to try this location as we really love the San Diego location only to find out they close at 4 on Sunday. Both Yelp and Google said they would be opened to 8. I didn't see any signs as to why it was closed so early, but it would be nice if you updated the hours online to reflect the actual hours of the restaurant or provide signage as to why the closing time is so different from what it says online.

4.1 had no idea about this spot, being that's it's near my hood! Very tasty and well seasoned! I'm starting to love chicken Sandos!

So happy they opened up a location here in Pasadena. I've always gone to the one in San Diego whenever I go there. I know this location has been around for like maybe 2ish year but never got the chance to go till now. I usually get The Bae but decided to change it up because I was feeling a bit fierce. So I went with The Firebird. I love me a good thigh. It's not hot hot but it was a good kick. The sandwich was very flavorful. It was a nice spice to flavor ratio. Inside was cute and there were TVs there to watch sports. Overall, great food and great time. Very spacious inside. I couldn't find a trash to throw my food away so I asked one of the staff and they said to just leave it and they'll take it. Which I thought was nice but I felt really bad. PARKING: Goodluck trying to find street parking. You're best bet is the sparking structure off of Green St & Raymond Ave or the one on De Lacey Ave & Green St. they're both 90 mins free. Enough time to eat your heart away and walk off some of those calories back to your car haha.

The most disappointing chicken sandwich restaurant that I've been to in LA. The chicken sandwich is flat, crunchy, and way too breaded. There's not much flavor other than bread and breading. Ontop of that I ordered spicy and the sandwich was a 0 out of 10 for spicy. The french fries were better than the chicken sandwich. It was at least great that you can sit at some stools where you walk in and people watch those that walk by. The restaurant is huge, and looks very nice, but the food isn't worth eating.

I ordered two Firebirds for my son and I - we were so happy with our selection. They looked and tasted amazing! Great combination of spicy chicken, crispy onions, pickles - YUM!!! We also got a large fry which is great for sharing. We actually got 4 different dippin' sauces - kimchi BBQ, sriracha 1000, hot sauce, and pineapple mustard. The sandwich doesn't need any of the sauces, but they were fun to try. We liked the pineapple mustard one the best. Also we used the online order and curb side pickup and it worked great. It is a pain to park in the area so it was nice to be able to order and pick up 15 minutes later. Great experience all around.

For delivery. Coop DeVille is delicious although the cole slaw tends to drop into the paper and just leak out, so it might be better eating in. Love the various dipping sauces like the pineapple mustard, sriracha 1000 island and kimchi BBQ. Fries are great. Kind of wish the miso maple butter for the biscuits was a little sweeter.

Great chicken, sandwiches are delicious...little pricey and parking on green can be challenging

Great food in an incredibly wide and open restaurant. The fireburd and Coop de Ville are our favourites.

Looking for some thick chicken sandwiches? Try Crack Shack in Pasadena, CA. Double Clucker: crisp goodness on potato rolls with, not ONE, BUT TWO PATTIES! with crispy onions avocados and cheese , this big boi is gonna fill you up Cali Drip: chicken meat WITH fries AND bacon ?!? MmMMm the perfect combo with the addition of pickeled onions, torta, and chipotle mayo; the sandwich really is drip worthy Although I would prefer more sauce, the sauce station was closed off atm Overall a cute trendy place with lots of seating and a large interior on a bustling street with other places to check out, like MOTTO tea and Gameology next door!

This place was okay, my girlfriend had the firebird sandwich and that was much much better. This was just okay, I still recommend trying other things in this menu, her sandwich was very good and their chicken was good. I know this place has more to offer, just have this a shot because it looks really coo and the concept was a great idea. I think it can be done better and I would use Breast meat instead of thigh meat because you can tell the difference. Overall, this place gets an 8/10 and when I try something else there I know it will go up. Don't let my review keep you from trying this because you may very well like it. I still finished it and enjoyed it. I will be back and this place looks cool inside too

The food was amazing! Will definitely have to come back to try more of the menu.

We picked up the small flock meal which came with five delicious and super crispy chicken, chicken nuggets, soft fluffy biscuits, fries, a spicy and tangy coleslaw and two awesome cookies! A bit on the pricey side but overall a good meal.
