The best halal chicken tenders around! They make their own sauce called Comeback sauce, one non spicy and one spicy. Service is always pretty good here, a few spots to choose from to sit inside this food hall. I love their pudding as well! read more

Delicious hot chicken. This store is in the Antimall Lab. Lots of parking here. Ordered a quarter chicken and it took 20 minutes but came out fresh and hot. Like burn your face hot, which is exactly how I like my fried chicken. The bread is buttery and crispy. Everything was delicious. Happy Yelping! read more

SJCap just got spicy - and I'm clucking impressed. Bread Hot Chicken at the new-ish River Street Rodeo Food Hall...It holds its own among a sea of tempting choices. And trust me--I'm a chicken sando hobbyist (unpaid, but passionate). Fresh and fast (admittedly ot was 11:00), this sandwich delivers a crispy, golden crunch that says "we mean business." The juicy chicken was hugged by a warm brioche bun, pickles gave it that tangy slap-in-the-face (in the best way), and the sauce was mild but memorable. Next time, I may level up the heat--though I'll likely get another case of sting ring the next day. read more

The chicken was very bland! The weight for four chicken fingers was over 20 minutes. My bill was $23.16 and I gave her $25. She told me she would round my bill up to 24 and my change was a dollar? Never have I ever had someone tell me something like that! They would be better off not taking cash at all. Very disappointing! read more

I liked the sauce in their sandwiches . The food was worth the wait , the chicken sandwich was amazing and the food was high quality.The price was really high.

We got the loaded fries and they were awesome! They were covered in chicken, sauce, coleslaw, and pickles! Definitely get extra pickles. The price seemed pretty reasonable for what we got. You order on an iPad and get a text when your food is ready, so virtually no service. It can be quite difficult to get a seat outside as the patio is used by all the restaurants in the food hall. read more

I found this spot in the food hall after looking for a salad option. I ordered the Hot Chicken Caesar salad. The chicken inside of it was pretty good, but the salad needed more dressing than what was given. I wouldn't say I was overly impressed by the salad, but would maybe come back for a chicken entree. read more

The staff member was so kind and gave out free samples of chicken for us to try and we were hooked especially with the variety of sauces you can choose from to dip the chicken in.

We got the chicken and waffles and they were good and a reasonable price. The mild was a good level of heat, but wish the waffles came with more syrup. The "Comeback Sauce" is kind of like Raising Canes but not as good. The mac and cheese was also good but probably not worth the price. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. read more

Bred's Hot Chicken is the real deal. Came with my family and ordered a full spread, and every sandwich delivered. The chicken is insanely juicy with a perfectly crisp crust -- no greasiness, no shortcuts. You can tell it's properly seasoned all the way through, not just dusted with spice at the end. The heat is layered and flavorful, not just punch-you-in-the-mouth spicy. The buns are soft and buttery and actually hold up, the pickles are cold and sharp, and everything works together exactly how hot chicken should. Fries were hot, crispy, and seasoned right. This is the kind of spot you recommend without hesitation. Easily one of the best hot chicken sandwiches in SoCal. We'll 100% be back. read more

I know it's a relatively new location (at River Street in SJC), but the food was just okay. Nothing special. Nothing remarkable. We shared the tenders, fries & mac and cheese. The chicken was tasty but the fries were meh, and while the mac and cheese had potential, it was barely lukewarm and had a bunch of raw cheese in the middle. Flavor was fine, but at a $40 meal, I expected something better. I could get something like this at a drive through... read more

My husband just picked up food from here today. He ordered the chicken and waffles-one tender wimpy one tender spicy. When he got home he opened the order and it was two tenders with fries and toast. The mistake would not have been too big of an issue but it appears the tenders were both not just spicy but the spiciest level they have. Now we can't be 100% sure but our friend had gotten the regular spicy level and their chicken was much tamer than what was on these tenders. I took one bite and it was completely inedible to me. My husband choked down the rest but was literally in tears eating it. So if you like super spicy food they can deliver; unfortunately my spice tolerance isn't that high so these were not for me. The fries were very good as were the pickles. The regular spicy chicken was also very very good. read more

This is the worst chicken strips. First, it was super greasy. Second , I can tolerate heat but the medium cayenne was awful. I think the cayenne bottle spilled on the chicken. Unbearable to eat. Lastly, for two orders of three chicken strips with fries and two sauces was $50. They charge $10.95 for two pieces of chicken strips but then if you want three strips it is another $3.95 and then you add $3.95 for fries and .79 cents for each sauce (comes with comeback sauce but it tasted like they added ketchup to their ranch dressing) on top of that they charge a service fee and expect a tip to do your job? It's not like you're being waited on by a waiter or waitress. Actually, you place your own order on a touchscreen pad. It's chicken strips people. Cane's is way better and way more cost effective. For $25/person, way better food options in that area for sure (location: San Juan Capistrano) read more

I ordered the Fried Chicken Bowl, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. The chicken was crispy, tender, and surprisingly reminded me of calamari in the way it ate, light and not overly heavy.

Too many places overpower a dish with sauce, but here the flavor of the chicken still came through. The portion size was perfect for us. We enjoyed a satisfying meal without feeling stuffed afterward, which made the walk home just as enjoyable as the walk there. The restaurant itself was very clean.

We did try a few items and everything tasted fresh, but what really stood out was the overall experience -- attentive service, a comfortable atmosphere, and a team that clearly cares about what they're putting out. Epic Wings is a solid go-to and somewhere I'd definitely come back to.

He was training somebody at the cash register and they both were super welcoming and friendly, and took my order. I'm just so pleased with the service at this restaurant. Plus the food is absolutely delicious.

I LOVE spice and normally love Wingstop, but this was truly the worst experience. We ordered atomic, hot, and lemon pepper and when I tell you there was essentially no sauce and bare nugget exposed on the hot and atomic, it was horrible. For some reason, the lemon pepper was the opposite and overly oiled and salted. I have been indulging in Wingstop here an there since 2011 so I know how it should and shouldn't taste. I highly recommend NOT going to this one.

I never leave reviews for establishments, but this one needed to happen. When I initially walked…read moreinto the door, somebody was at the counter. I was never greeted by anyone. One of the girls working did take my order and after the order was taken, she said it'll be ready...........Look at the kitchen and said I have no idea it'll come out when it's done. That's fine, she seemed like she was either new or just didn't have proper training. I got my food started eating. I ate a couple fries and there was a crunch in my mouth pulled out the french fry and it had a rock in it. I brought it to the attention of another lady working, she says "oh no" take it to the kitchen and nothing else happened. She didn't check to make sure everything was OK, she didnt Ask me if I bit into the Rock or offered any type of assistance or compensation, She just went back to doing whatever she was doing on the computer. Like I said, I never leave reviews for places, but this was very unprofessional.

We are from Bay Area - where we have a lot of AMAZING food!…read more Passing through San Juan - my daughter found this place - and I have not been this impressed by breakfast- in a long time!! It is excellent! For dishes that are thought of somewhat ordinary - The Breakfast Bowl and the Avocado Toast are EXTRAORDINARY!! The baked goods are exceptional as well!!

It is pretty good, though I personally prefer Aroma Craft Coffee in Walnut…read more Dirty Chai Latte: Highly recommended. It has just the right amount of sweetness--neither overbearing nor watery like at other coffee shops. The ratio of espresso to chai is perfectly balanced. Carrot Cake: It's pretty good, though not exactly mind‑blowing. The texture is moist and dense, without any of that light, airy sponge quality you get from Paris Baguette. Winners Club Croissant: My absolute favorite part is the thick-cut braised bacon at the very bottom of the sandwich. Banana Foster French Toast: It is way too sweet and cloying for my taste. Although the indoor space is on the smaller side, the decor and setup create a wonderful, atmospheric vibe. This San Juan Capistrano location is their flagship store, and they also have a second location in Costa Mesa. 還不錯，雖然我個人更偏好核桃市的Aroma Craft Coffee。髒髒香料奶茶拿鐵：很不錯值得推薦。甜度適中，既不過濃，也不像其他店家的淡稀水。濃縮咖啡和印度香茶的比例調配的很好。胡蘿蔔香料蛋糕：還不錯但沒到驚艷的程度。蛋糕口感濕潤扎實，完全沒有韓式西點巴黎貝甜那種海綿蓬鬆空氣感。厚切培根火雞可頌三明治：最欣賞部分是三明治底部的厚切燉培根。香蕉胡桃法式吐司：一般。對我而言太過甜膩。室內雖小，但裝潢擺設很有氣氛。這家是總店，Costa Mesa還有家二店。

First of all the line is out the door and it takes about 30 minutes to order your coffee. There aren't any menus throughout along the way and it's really hard to determine what is actually on their menu until you get inside of the coffee shop because most of their drinks on Yelp and Instagram are seasonal. When I was finally able to order, I ordered two different coffees because I wasn't sure what I was going to like given the coffee shop states all of their syrups are made in house. I think that's why the coffee didn't have any flavor and I didn't like it. The staff was nice enough to remake my drink, but even the second drink tasted like it didn't have any syrup in it and tasted like a regular latte. There is very limited seating inside of the coffee shop, merch is $30+ and you should be prepared for long waits.
