If you're craving hot chicken like I was since the last time I went to Tennessee then this is a good place! It's more corporate than mom & pop but their spices are legit. I always get the mild because I'm a whimp but even that has a kick to it and make my nose drip a little. With the #1 you get 2 decent size sandwiches and a side of fries and you can add a drink for two dollars I think. We also get the Hangry fix bowl which always hits the spot but I think it's big enough for two people to share as well. Their meals are very filling. The younger crew has really stepped up their customer service. They are very friendly and the acknowledge you from the moment come in the door to the moment you leave. The restaurant itself is very clean as well as the restroom. And there is plenty of space for large parties inside. And there is also a nice patio sitting outside. read more

Angry Chickz - #1 - Chicken Shop Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Guess I can report that I'm not a fan. The quality of the chicken was quite good - plump, juicy, and tender. Unfortunately, "Mild" was not so mild for my tastebuds. I ended up with a burning mouth, and a runny nose from the level of spice. It even came down to scraping off the skin and spices to try to manage enjoying the center part of the chicken piece. Dear Hubby and I shared the #3 plate, which was one sandwich and one open-faced piece of chicken on a piece of Texas-style toast with a few pickle slices. It also came with a side of fries. We also added a side of rice (mistake - it was extremely bland and tasteless). Cole slaw might have been a better choice, and would have balanced the heat of the chicken. There were zero fountain beverages that I could enjoy. I don't drink caffeinated drinks, and I try to avoid copious amounts of sugar. I had water, and Dear Hubby got some root beer. The fries were quite delicious, and the amount provided was generous. That was a highlight of the meal, plus the dipping sauce for the chicken. The cashier was very friendly, so that was a plus and a good first impression. The interior restaurant space is really odd. They've laid it out so that two-tops are shoved up against one wall, and four-tops are shoved against the opposite wall, with an excessively large open space in the middle of the room. Seems like wasted space to me, and not visually interesting or welcoming. Farther across the room, away from the ordering stand and the kitchen, are several raised counters with barstools. DH and I ended up sitting at the end of one of those counter spots. We noted that there are other chicken spots very close by - Chick Fil-A, Zankou Chicken, Wing Stop, El Pollo Loco, this Angry Chickz place, and a Raising Cane's is going in to the spot previously occupied by Amy's. It's going to be chicken wars on two blocks of Moorpark Road! read more

Fast Hot and Spicy Chicken!!! So good when you can eat fresh chicken cooked just right and spicy enough to make your lips smack and take a big sippy of soda pop. Truly a magical combination and pure joyful moment. Compared to Jack in the Box across the street Angry Chickz is by far superior in every way. The secret is in the special sauce and tasty coleslaw with pickles that give it that extra flavor enhances with each bite. You keep coming back for more and trying an even more ridiculous spice level combo. Add some melted cheese and you will flip with your favorite French fries. Enjoy thatz crazzzzyyyy Hot Nashville chicken tonight. read more

I came back to give this place a second chance. A buddy convinced me to go and I went 1 level down in heat to Medium on an Angry Mac bowl. The change of heat is huge. At "Hot" I felt like I was pepper sprayed in my mouth before someone threw gasoline in my mouth and lit it on fire. The sandwiches were a soggy spicy mess and I just wasn't happy. However at "Medium" I felt like someone sprinkled some Cajun powder on a bowl of Mac, or more like I dipped some Cajun fries in the Mac. There was barely a little kick of heat and everything was cooked nicely. The bowl was tasty and I was happy to be able to taste it this time. The fries were nice and crisp still at the bottom of all that Mac n cheese. Not sure how they were able to do that but they did. The Mac n cheese itself was cheesy gooey goodness, with thick noodles. The chicken mixed in was perfectly cooked and lightly seasoned. Service was fast and friendly, and they made no remark about the milkshake I brought with me as a precaution. I wasn't about to go through the pain I went through the time before. Glad I gave them a second shot to see what the fuss is about. It's definitely the bowls. Well that's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating. read more

I was disappointed because the fried chicken is not crispy, and the coating just falls apart. Also, the amount of chicken you get (two tenders) for the price isn't really worth it. The mac and cheese and rice are fine. I don't think I would come back here. read more

Our first time here and boy were we surprised. To preface, my husband enjoys hot level spice just fine. I on the other hand, think Hot Cheetos are spicy lol. My husband ordered the two sliders with slaw, heat level - hot. I ordered the angry Mac, heat level - Medium. We both took one bite of our food and literal flames were coming out of our mouths and ears. Minus the spice the Angry Mac tasted pretty good. So as a PSA: make sure you check your spice levels. read more

Angry Chickz really lives up to the name, that chicken came out looking like it had just lost full custody and was taking it out on my taste buds. Walked in thinking, "How bad can medium be?" Bro... first bite and my tongue started filling out HR paperwork. It wasn't, like, call-the-ambulance hot, but it was definitely "question your childhood and your life choices" hot. Spicy but not crazy... just enough to make you sweat a little and pretend you're totally fine while your date watches you die inside. The sandwich is stacked like it's trying to overcompensate for something, thick chicken, slaw, sauce, the whole situation leaning out of the bun like it's yelling, "You sure about this, champ?" Fries were solid, nothing life-changing, more like the supportive friend hyping up the toxic main character (the chicken). Vibe-wise, it's very "we know you're only here because you saw us on TikTok." You stand there in line rethinking everything, but when that bag hits your hand, suddenly you're like, "Yeah, I'd do this again." Overall: 9/10 would let Angry Chickz ruin my mouth and my digestive system one more time. read more

Tried this place for the first time. I have to say it is good. It is also very rich as it has a lot of cheese and carbs. However, the wild was good. I wouldn't say it was too spicy.

The chicken tenders were slightly less juicy than their other location I've been to, but were still flavorful and tender. I got one tender in medium spice and one tender in hot level of spice. Caution: hot is actually really hot. The tenders on a toast combo came with coleslaw instead of the fries, per my request . Coleslaw was fresh and delicious. The service was good and the location looks nice, with cool wall art and a lot of tables for dining in. read more

Came here for an early quick dinner. I ordered the hangry fix (two chopped tenders over rice, Mac and cheese, with their special sauce), a side of fries and a side of tender over a toasted bread. Let me tell you, for the person who can handle her spicy food, I found their hot level was SOOO HOT already. So please be careful when you make your choice! The staff were very helpful and friendly! read more

Angry Chickz should rename themselves "Nickel & Dime Chickz." The food is fine, but charging $0.35 for a tiny cup of sauce that used to be free is ridiculous. It's literally a thimble of sauce and now they're acting like it's liquid gold. I get that prices go up, but this feels cheap and petty. When restaurants start charging for every little thing, it leaves a bad impression and makes customers feel like they're being squeezed for every cent. It's not about the 35 cents -- it's about the principle. Good food can't make up for feeling nickel-and-dimed the entire time you're ordering. Do better. read more

They don't answer their phone. And they cancelled our order an hour after we ordered it.

Angry Chickz has been on my list for a long while now and I really wish I would have tried them sooner as they were super yummy. Some of the best Mac and cheese I've had in a long time. The chicken was white meat, juicy, and overall good flavors. Cute interior and nice staff. I came in finally for dinner and opted for to go. It was pretty dead when I came in so my experience was very quick - I was in and out which I appreciated. Normally when I drive by this spot it looks pretty busy so I think I caught them before the dinner rush. I ordered at the counter and the gentlemen helping me out was nice and thorough. The service didn't exceed my expectations but it doesn't always have to. Sometimes lowkey and nice service is plenty fine enough. I appreciate that they got me in and out of there so the cooks are definitely hustling in the back. The restaurant was super clean and well spaced out to accommodate larger crowds. I even checked out the bathroom and it was super clean. This is definitely a comfortable spot to dine inside at. The decor was bold and fun. The chicken artwork was a little silly in the best way. Made me laugh. Would be a good spot for kids or families to dine at as it's a creative and fun atmosphere. I just appropriate that their cleanliness was on point. Price point is about average. I would say my chicken Mac and cheese bowl was loaded so that's a good value in my opinion. However a solo chicken tender at $5 seemed a little steep. I did find out when I got home that the tender comes with a piece of toast, so maybe to some that's worth the $5 price point? I would just rather not have the bread and a slightly better value for someone who just wants one strip or two without doing a full combo. The food was very very good and I would for sure come back for their Mac and cheese chicken bowl. It was phenomenal. So cheesy and definitely tasted liked extra love aka calories lol. But yolo. Some of the best Mac and cheese I've had from a chicken joint ever. The chopped up fried chicken bites were good and I love their pink house sauce. Overall that bite was a 5/5. A solo chicken tender though was just okay. I did appreciate it was a hefty strip and solid white meat chicken. However if you look at my picture the breading was kind of coming off and didn't seem on point. I was looking for a good crunch but not so much on this strip. Would have preferred the batter to be consistent all of the way around. Overall I do really like this spot and will be back when I'm craving a Mac and cheese chicken bowl. That was a super solid bite and meal. Highly recommend this dish. I also appreciated that this location is very clean and staff were welcoming. Hopefully their chicken strips will be a little more consistent in the future and then I'd happily bump them up to five stars. read more

Super great chicken, excellent spice level, awesome customer service, clean restaurant, and good prices. I'm not sure where all this negativity surrounding this place is coming from. I live near this restaurant and come in weekly, never once have an issue with anything or anyone. Definitely worth trying if tasty, Nashville-style chicken is your thing. The sliders and Mac-n-cheese bowl are not to be slept on! read more

Very disgusted . Might be sick tonight. My son went to drink orange soda, and I noticed some dark black particles (more than 20) MOLD in the drinking fountain nozzle. I brought it up the front counter. And not a word was said. Our family threw away $85 worth of our food and drinks and. Walked out. Not a clean place, who knows what's going on in the kitchen! read more

I really like the inside setup! The restaurant is very open with lots a seating. I would say if I could fix something, it would be that front door. It always slams when another customer comes in the restaurant. Maybe the owner can install a Spring Door Closer? As for the food, this is different from the other spots (David's hot chicken & Burning mouth) because the other competitors don't have rice and the chicken was super tender. The others I feel like I had to chew a lot and with this spot it's almost effortless. Glad I stopped by and grabbed a bit! Definitely returning to try the other dishes! read more

WOW!! We went looking for the best place to eat the perfect cheat meal, a place where we could really indulge... Angry Chickz hit the SPOT!

Tried Angry Chickz and got the Angry Mac Bowl and Angry Fix Bowl--both were flavorful and satisfying. Everything came already mixed together, so no need to shake or toss it yourself--just open and eat. It's a bit on the spicy and salty side, so heads up if you're watching your sodium, but overall the food was tasty and filling. A little messy, but in a way that works. read more

Ordered one time on door dash for pickup, was marked as ready for pickup, saw my food given to someone else, asked for my order and the lady said it just came in and told me it would be a 50 minute wait, this was on a Tuesday night and a group of 2 was there. Asked for a refund and was told they would have to contact DoorDash. I came in around 45 minutes after I placed my DoorDash order so there was no reason on why it was not ready. Ordered DoorDash delivery that same night and they forgot my shake after contacting DoorDash the driver said all they were given was the meal. Ordered DoorDash delivery again half a year later and has taken 5 dashers come in and deny the delivery because of the long wait. It's been 40 minutes and they still have not made the order. Or given it to the dasher, proof shown below. read more

I came after a pretty long day at work pretty much about 15 minutes before closing. I was actually really surprised to see that they were open late, but I was really craving their chicken so I could help but stop by. They have so many delicious options. I couldn't decide but Kaityn the cashier was very helpful. Both her and the other girl in the kitchen were super welcoming and friendly, and I appreciated their service even though I know they were almost closing. At no point did I feel like an inconvenience or rushed. Restaurant is always clean the couple times I've been here and the food came out promptly and was delicious as always!!! 1000/10 read more

Have been waiting for Angry Chickz and followed their progress and opening date on social media, and it did not disappoint. For their first day and opening day I could not find anything negative to mention-well done staff and management. Line moved quick and didn't really wait long for our order. Food came out hot and very tasty. Staff was on the floor keeping tables clean and checking on customers for satisfaction and I didn't see one unhappy face. Plates were bountiful with food and all tasted great. Will definitely be back and bringing friends. Bravissimo Angry Chickz read more

The Angry Mac and hot chicken are pretty good however if you decide to get the medium spice level or higher it gets really hot. We ordered a medium and two different people said that it was really spicy. The food does taste quite good but it doesn't make me want more after I've finished eating for some reason, like every single time I get the Angry Mac even in the country spice level which isn't even spicy, which is a little surprise. In fact, I am getting full before I finish. The bowl that I often get contains macaroni on top, chicken pieces (With great sauce), and french fries on the bottom. It's really the same as getting McDonalds but your combo meal was consolidated into one bowl. This is an interesting combo but I still enjoy their food. This place is where we order the most from currently. And I'm a fan... as long as the spice level doesn't get cranked up too much. read more

Food so good I drove out 40 minutes twice just to eat there, so glad theres one in ventura now though , staff super friendly too

My review is based on a take-out experience for a large group order. This was my first time having food from Angry Chickz. The employees were friendly and helpful. We ordered a few varieties of the hot chicken tenders over white bread with pickles. We ordered the country style chicken, mild, and medium. Each heat level of chicken was great! The medium was as spicy as I would want it. If I ordered the next level of heat it would be too spicy for me. The mild was my favorite because it had enough flavor without being too spicy. We also ordered the mac n cheese, fries, and coleslaw. I enjoyed all of it! The coleslaw paired nicely on top of the chicken tenders. Their house sauce was decent, but not my favorite. I would love to come back to Angry Chickz and eat their food fresh and hot in their establishment! I loved the flavor of their hot chicken and look forward to having it again! read more

OK, so I've been hearing so much about this place that I had to come take a look and try it out for myself.... And I have to be totally honest it wasn't my favorite. I know the chicken was fully cooked, but in my opinion, it felt as if it wasn't the mac & cheese looks very cheesy, but didn't have that much flavor to it but the french fries were good . The chicken sandwich was very thick and I like mine thin. Service wise was OK. Took a while to get my order. They only had one worker in the front. The food did come out pretty fast, but I asked myself would I come back again? Honestly, I don't think so but check it out for yourself. Each person has their own taste. The inside is pretty clean we actually sat outside, but realized there's a lot of bugs so next time I would recommend sitting inside read more

The ordering process went well. The staff was kind and professional. The food was delicious and fresh, which is always important on my list. I only got the side chicken tender, which came with the bread and the pickles and a side of fries because I was nervous. I had never been there before and wanted to make sure the food was good. The chicken tender was thick and worth the money. And great quality honestly a 10 out of 10 for me. read more

TL;DR decent edible chicken is not Nashville style. They don't pay attention to soft drink levels, seating is uncomfortable, music is annoying. I became interested in Nashville style chicken after having some at Crack House on the Las Vegas strip. After returning home to Thousand Oaks, I was hoping to find something similar to what I had there, if not identical. So far, no joy. First, I'm looking for a choice of bone-in pieces with a spicy shell-like coating. The ultra crispy shell-like coating of true Nashville fried chicken, is created with some type of marinade such as buttermilk or pickle juice, and a double dredge of wheat flour combined with corn or potato starch, laced with hot spices and a few herbs. It's fried, then steamed to cook the meat through, then finished with spiced frying oil to restore the extreme crisp. Angry Chickz only offers tenders in sandwiches or bowls. The coating is slightly crispy but the crisp is thin and created from the combination of spices and very little flour. It's bright red from the dusting of a pepper blend. If you pick it up, it will turn your fingers red. The coating easily falls off the meat when lifted up from the bowl. If you're expecting Nashville chicken, this isn't it. It is really more like heavily spiced deep fried chicken tenders in a sandwich bun or atop a bowl. I ordered the Hangry Bowl with medium spiciness. It was a little spicier than I expected, but it was fine. Hangry isn't on their regular menu, you have to go there. It's a base of "buttery" rice with three large tender strips on top. On the side are cole slaw and mac and cheese. Spotting the iced tea dispenser, I also ordered a large fountain drink. The mac and cheese was very creamy -- too creamy in my opinion -- with a paucity of cheese. I like to taste a little sharpness in mac and cheese. The cole slaw was nothing special; shredded cabbage and carrots with a fair amount of tang. The buttery rice was a decent pile of basmati rice. Unfortunately it was overcooked and had the consistency of oatmeal. Unfortunate that, it tasted like it was high quality prior to cooking. The iced tea was such a sad situation. Out. It dispensed slightly tinted water. Another guest commented, "There's something wrong with this iced tea." Yes, there was. He went to the front to let them know. An employee went back there, emerged with an empty bag n box, and talked to the guest. By the body language I could tell it hadn't improved. Wishful thinking, I went back to try for more. Nope, just as bad as before. I settled for Diet Coke. The environment is very "live", as in echoey. Metal seats, hard surface tables, hard laminate floors. Televisions were playing muted football. The chairs with backs on them were the kind also found at Snapper Jacks. That is, to slide far enough back to relax the back, you better have a butt no bigger than 36". The braces that connect the back to the seat will gouge into your sides. To end the pain imposed upon the proximal epiphysis of your femurs, you'll need to sit on one of the stools at a high top. The stool seat tops will accommodate about 2/3 of a normal adult derierre but at least the pain is transferred from there to your back with no support. Suffice it to say, the seating is not comfortable. Adding to the liveliness of the room. The loud music. Shazam told me its genre was "pop". It was nothing like Michael Jackson. You know, the King Of Pop? This music was driven by an electronic drum beat, with some autotune singer squawking over and over, a range of three notes. We stayed long enough to discover the hideous music was not an anomaly. It kept playing the same torture by different "artists". If my review helped you in any way, please give it a rating below. Thanks. read more
