I was honestly hesitant to try Angry Chickz because it felt like just another version of Dave's Hot Chicken. After visiting, I'd say that comparison is pretty accurate--with a few small differences. Walking in, the first thing I noticed was cleanliness. There was visible trash on the floor, which stood out even more because the place wasn't busy at the time. That's something I think should be addressed, especially during slower hours. I asked the cashier about the menu, and they were friendly and helpful. They explained that it's essentially the same concept as Dave's, just with added options like rice and bowls. Since I wasn't trying to go all in, I ordered a single slider. I placed my order at 4:09 PM and didn't receive it until 4:25 PM. What made this more frustrating was seeing customers who ordered after me get their food first--even though they had larger orders. For a simple item, the wait time and order flow didn't feel efficient. On the positive side, the space itself is solid. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, which makes it a good hangout spot if you're dining in. Overall, the experience didn't really win me over. The food concept isn't something I personally gravitate toward, and the execution didn't feel distinct enough to justify choosing it over similar spots. Between the cleanliness issues and wait time, I don't see myself coming back. That said, the staff was kind, and I always encourage people to try places for themselves and form their own opinions. And of course--tell them THE AFRICAN sent you

I'm an angry chick! Was totally disappointed even before getting my food! Walked in, ordered at the counter and the young man tells me it's going to be around 15-20 minutes!!! WTH? There's hardly anyone in here! A handful of online orders people are waiting... it's totally dead in here! Well it took 32 minutes! I sat there and waited 32 minutes for 3 chicken strips ($5 each) and the bottom sides were soggy! The chicken was dry and shreddy/chewy-not tender at all! Do NOT even bother coming here! Absolute rip off! High priced mediocre quality and crap service. Just saying! With chick filet almost next door- go there! Or Dave's Hot chicken on Channel Islands Bl or Raising Caines on Rose!

GETTING HERE: Located in the Telephone Road Plaza shopping center, near Winco. Angry Chickz is on the end, near the Arby's and Rolling Pin Donuts. REVIEW: This review is a bit late, and I can't wait to return to see how their service is rolling out. I know that new businesses have some bumps in the beginning, and this Angry Chickz wasn't immune from them, but nothing I experienced was the end of the world. So, it's all good. I ended up receiving the Angry Mac, and it was less than what I expected. But, overall it was edible and separate from the long wait (so many customers!) it was a good-enough meal. Ambience was loud and crowded; but hopefully (?) that will slow down as they get into their groove. Will be back again asap to try their Angry Fries, and I will update my review asap. Glad to have a new business in Ventura. Support them, if you can.

I've never been to an Angry Chickz location before. I only noticed this location while running errands nearby, and a huge line had formed as I guess it officially opened on Friday (or recently). So, I figured it was time to see all the "hot" gossip about this place. First, when I got in line, there were only about two families in front of us. Although I had already looked at the menu beforehand, a staff member stood outside with the menu in her hands so we could look at it. We ordered the number three, which came with a slider, Texas toast and chicken tenders on top plus fries. We also ordered the Angry Mac with fries, Mac n cheese, and chicken tenders in a bowl. The sauce we requested was mild. We sat at one of the bars, overlooking the side patio. The servers were constantly cleaning, so all the available tables were already clean. The waiting time for food took only 10 minutes. Everything came out hot, fresh, and smelling fine. I rarely like any hints of spice, but since my husband requested mild sauce, I had to try it. It was too hot for me, and I was grateful for my cup of water. For him, it was too hot, too. But the chicken tenders were crunchy, well-seasoned, and scrumptious. The Texas toast with the chicken tenders and pickles added a tasty and unique flavor that made me finish the half sandwich in minutes. The fries were well-seasoned, and I couldn't keep my hands off them. My favorite food was the Angry Mac. Seasoned fries, Mac' n cheese, and chicken tenders in a bowl with the sauce of your choice made for an appetizing meal. I would order this next time with the country (no spice) sauce, as it was my favorite food ordered. The slider was a misnomer. It's more of a regular-sized chicken sandwich with coleslaw and pickles, plus the sauce of your choice. I haven't had the opportunity to try this, as I was incredibly full from the other food. The servers were friendly, and the food came out much more quickly than expected, although I went for a late lunch. I want to return here again and order the Angry Mac. Welcome to Ventura, Angry Chickz!

My son and I were excited to finally try Angry Chicks in Ventura tonight after seeing all the social media hype and watching their remodel come together. They're conveniently located in Midtown Ventura in the same shopping center as Winco, so we were glad to have something new nearby. The restaurant itself is pretty simple--walk-up counter ordering, about six tables inside, maybe eight outside on the patio, and a soda fountain. The staff was polite, but the interaction felt more scripted than genuine. Not unpleasant, just very basic. The first thing we were told was that they don't accept cash, though I'm not sure if that's always the case or just because it was after 9 PM. We ordered a chicken slider meal to share. For two sliders, fries, and a soda it came out to just over $20, which felt really steep--especially when one meal alone is around $17-$18 before a drink. For counter service where you seat yourself, that pricing doesn't add up in my opinion. As for the food--it was just OK. We tried one "hot" and one "medium" slider, but there wasn't much difference between the two. The chicken didn't fully cover the bun, so half the sandwich was just slaw with no chicken. The fries were heavily seasoned--too much for me, but my son enjoyed them. Overall, nothing really stood out. The food was just OK, the service was just OK, the décor was just OK. With prices that high, though, I'd expect something more memorable. For us, it's about a 3-star spot, and we probably won't be back.

The review is for visiting this location twice and both ordered through instacart. One time for delaying the order for 20 minutes for no reason but staff were playing around despite long line at the restaurant. Second time ordered through instacart and they gave us the wrong item. It's not hard to look at the receipt and see what was ordered and make it! I like their food but I don't like to waste my time nor get the wrong food after waiting for some time. The staff need more training! May or may not return

Our experience was great! Service up front was friendly and professional...the place was super clean and spacious ... Food was really good... We ordered #3, the Mac Cheese fries Hot chic bowl & fries chic bowl...all was fresh and flavorful!! Be aware level HOT and higher is Ghost pepper seasoning ...they don't play!!! We definitely would go back when we have the craving for it... Keep up the great service Angry Chickz of Ventura!!

I hesitated to stop by Angry Chickz because of poor experiences in other locations but the he day called for it and I obliged the request. The space is nicely revamped and clean, the menu is simple with minimal options which's makes it easy. The ordering process is slow so come with patience it takes time but you know everything is fresh. I ordered individual tenders,three of them that came on a price of Texas toast. It was more food than I expected. The mild spice was perfect to not kill your taste buds and was still enjoyable. I added a drizzle of honey and a little comeback sauce to zing it up and it was spot on and after two tenders I was full!! Not a bad experience looking forward to another visit.

Mac and cheese is good, chicken is also good. I'm getting Dave's Hot Chicken vibes. Can't really tell the difference between those two. Service was good also. Restroom was clean and place was also clean.

Not sure why so many people have such negative reviews. I went here today and enjoyed lunch with my boyfriend. Chicken was good, not dry. French fries were super good. Mac was good. Coleslaw was flavorful without being too heavy with mayo. I'll be coming back!

Very excited to have an Angry Chickz here in Ventura. Right next to grocery store, other shopping stores which you can come to stop by for lunch or dinner before heading to do your shopping. The inside looks so bright & nice & friendly staff. So stoked to have some bomb chicken! Really enjoyed my meal here & absolutely all the workers were so welcoming, friendly & asked if we found everything ok which made it a great experience & cannot wait to go back. I will tell everyone about this place because this is the best chicken in town period!!!!!!
