This was our first visit to Charlie Cat Chicken. This is located inside Mallard's restaurant and is their ghost kitchen, so be aware if you're looking for signage! There's a small sign by the door for take-out orders. We ordered two chicken sandwiches. The quality of the chicken was very high, and they were both very tasty!

Ordered the Southern Chicken Sandwich. It was raw in the middle and burned on the breading at the same time. Super disappointed, luckily I got it through Doordash so I got a refund. But I'm turned off chicken in general for a while.However - the pickles that came on top of the sandwich were so good. I figured they were safe to eat still.

Charlie Cat is located inside of Mallards restaurant. No signage indicating this so I drove around for a bit before I called. I had the Nashville chicken sandwich and it was delicious. The spice level is up there so if you don’t like really spicy, don’t get Nashville. The heat flavor is peppery with a hint of sweetness. The chicken is fried to perfection and has a nice crunch for texture. It holds up to the sauces accompanying it. The bun a is nice quality. The coleslaw adds a necessary sweetness. Overall I would say this sandwich is 7-8 out of 10.

This takeout location is so underrated. The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich is a definite must try for anyone who enjoys a good chicken sandwich. I'd put this sandwich up against any other chicken sandwich. The chicken fingers are also great. I didn't really care for their wings or the fries, though. The wings flavor is ok, but it seems like the dry rub seasoning is too powdery, and it either gets "cakey" with the oils or just leaves a dusty texture. The fries and cole slaw are also terrible. there's no need to beat them up with details, just bad fries and coleslaw, imho. But I will keep coming back for that awesome Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and that "come back sauce".Parking: Strip mall parking lot.

Fantastic chicken, will be back probably too often!!Update: I don’t know what happened to this place but it’s starting to slide. I still love their chicken but they are skimping wherever they can. Ordered two sides of fries and this pic is one of them, the other wasn’t much more. Additionally the past 5 times our order has been wrong. Not kidding, we check the order every time now before we leave the building. One time they completely forgot one of the meals and they said they couldn’t do anything because the order was through Door Dash. Really loved this place but find ourselves seldom returning due to the pile up of issues. Hope they can take this feedback and make some changes.

It’s a GHOST KITCHEN!!!! It’s actually just mallards and on top of that it’s a hot mess service wise. Put in my order at 11:45 am and get a confirmation saying to pick up at 12:00. I get there at 12 and find out it a ghost kitchen. I walk in go to the pickup window and the hostess asks for my name I give it and she goes to the kitchen. Doesn’t say anything to me when she walks out I assume they are working on it. Time pasts and another person asks and same thing happens. This happens again. At 12:15 the fourth person asks and they actually check. Turns out they haven’t even rung in my order and it will be another 10 minutes to get my order.

Upon arrival, I learned this was no actual establishment but seemed to be a ghost kitchen. Still gave it a chance. Regret is setting in...Got chicken tenders w/ soggy, undercooked "toast," and bland sauce for myself. (Southern fried chicken)A messy, BBQ chicken sandwich for my husband, which was also rather bland.And a side of two burnt, sour pieces of toast.Pro: chicken was not dry and the seasoning of the batter was alright!I will go to Raising Cane's next time I get the craving.

Messed up the last two orders. First one they gave me the wrong order and the second one they had no record of the order even though they sent me a confirmation number.

I'm a spicy chicken sando guy. I've been around, I've tried them. Texture, look, and cook was on point. Everything wasn't enough though. The pickles weren't pickly enough, the slaw want slawy enough, the chicken wasn't spicy enough, and as a whole not salty enough. I even got the ghost pepper one and asked for extra spicy, extra sauce, and utensils and napkins. Got none of those things.Also ordered wings, regular Nashville hot. Was pretty mild, not enough flavor. Just going to take the rest home and put my own sauce on them. Cooked well, though.Also, order was sitting there getting cold while I was supposed to get a text when it was ready. There are only so many parts to a takeout order to mess up, and they managed to make it an overall very disappointing experience. But so far I haven't gotten sick or anything, so I guess not 1 star.

I felt the chicken on the inside was Juicy and crispy. But was burnt and salty. Service was excellent, atmosphere was good. Nashville heat was spot on. Quality was way better then Canes or Chikfila. Will try again.

website is deceiving. doesn't state that we need to order online. customers were fuming waiting. tight seating waiting, two ladies were in front of me yapping. no one came to the front counter to acknowledge anyone was waiting. muy mal.
