We were at Berry Fest in Woodland and crossed paths with this business. I ordered six of their signature Dirty Bird Wings, but only got five wings as the sixth was actually a tender. Not sure how that happened, but no biggie. The wings had a nice flavor blending both sweet and savory. If anything, I wish the wings would have been a bit more crisp to them. But they were still good. And the tender they snuck in place for the sixth wing was pretty decent. read more

Tried this place today at the Boogie Fest in Campbell. Although they had a table filled with the samples of their dishes, they were deceptive in their pricing. I had read while waiting in the slow moving line to order the yelp reviews and thought people were silly talking abojt being decepted into paying higher prices. I was sadly mistaken when I got to the counter to order after over half an hour and saw the tiniest sign saying they automatically charge an 18% service charge. I feel they were INCREDIBLY MISLEADING and agree with others that it's deceptive. Food was nothing to write home about. The wings were probably the best thing. Ordered the salad. It came undressed and without dressing and had to go back to ask them for a side of dressing which took a little of time too since I was ignored when I approached the people working. Salad sucked. They also advertise homemade ranch but I think the only homemade thing about it is blending a hidden ranch valley packet. Wings were not too bad and were crispy and served hot. Waffles fries were not worth the wait or the money. AVoid this place and their hidden fees read more

These guys were at the Fall Festival in Castro Valley. Like a lot of other reviews, the biggest issue is their deceptive pricing that you only see when you're at the front to order after waiting in line. 18% mandatory service charge for a food truck is criminal. They say it's for operating costs, wages, taxes, etc. Isn't that what you sell food to cover? Food was meh. They ran out of fries, tenders were dry. Salad was ok. read more

Tenders were amazing and juicy. The sauces aren't my favorite but the bbq and ranch were great

We went to the Chicken and the Farm kiosk at the Campbell Oktoberfest event. We got the waffle fries with pork which were really good. The service, however, took a long time to deliver the food and the price was a bit high for just fries and a bit of pork. It was just a food stand so no ambiance to complain about :) read more

Chicken and The Farm - Display - Chicken Shop Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Early warning 2/5, details below. The are a Walnut Creek Food truck. They set up a booth at a street fair in Manteca. Couple of issues with these guys but I'll start out with the good. Good: -Perfectly crisp seasoned waffle fries. -good portion size. -Flavorful "farm" and BBQ Sauces Bad: -deceptive pricing -terribly dry and tough pulled pork -inconsistent cook on the chicken tenders. -messed up my order Their menu showed a specific price for their Full Farm Fries which comes with their pork, chicken tenders, fries, farm and bbq sauce. I had added the crispy onions. When my order came there were no crispy onions. In regards to the deceptive pricing, the menu listed the fries at $18. I realized just as I paid that the charge was for over $23. Considering tax that's still WAY over what the cost listed was. I don't know if they do an automatic tip or service charge or something but that's ridiculous and deceptive. I didn't look into their reviews as to why they are a 2 but that would be a good reason to me. As for the fries, as I said they were perfect. Where they fall short is the cook of their proteins. The chicken was inconsistent. Like part of the tender was extremely dry and over cooked. As for the pork it was so dry and tough. Factoring all of these things in this makes them a 2/5 for me. read more

Visited the stand at the Lafayette Art & Wine festival. Amazing!! We tried last year but after finally getting up to order they were sold out of most things. Not this year! We arrived early to beat the heat and the food smells were drawing us closer. We shared Lobster rolls and fried Brussels sprouts. Very good all around! The lobster was simply dressed on a buttered bun. The Brussels were great with a garlic aioli sauce on top that I would buy by the bottle. This place is great! If you see em at the next event don't miss it! read more

Went to this stand at the Campbell boogie event and it was super disappointing. Took an hour to order + receive our food. Service was slow and unhelpful. They have an 18% service charge fee in small writing you have to look for when you get to the front. Got the waffle fries, wings, and salad. Everything was fine, not great but not inedible. The high price and slow service are not worth the mid food. read more

What a waste of $70. First off, all the workers were extremely rude. The guys taking our order and giving us our food acted like we were a nuisance. For a $20 (before their 18% fee) chicken sandwich, you've gotta at the very least toast the bun. The "Hot Hen," their version of a Nashville, is not even remotely hot. It was just BBQ sauce. The fries were extremely soggy. Everything came out 30 seconds after we ordered which was a huge red flag. Food isn't fresh, not worth a quarter of the price tag. Trust the reviews for this place. It truly reflects how much this business cares about their craft and their customers. Also, why is 2 sandwiches and fries $70? Inflation would be a poor excuse for this atrocity of a meal. Absolutely outrageous. If you see this truck, run the other way. read more

I was excited to try them out at the oktoberfest in Walnut Creek. The set up and display of all the items was very impressive. Ordered a chicken sandwhich and the chicken was soo dry and I could not chew through it. Chicken tenders had the same problem. The only decent tasting item was the ranch. No kids menu here. If you see their food truck and get tempted like I did, please save your money and try something else. read more

They hide an 18% (yes you read that right) fee. It was not published anywhere in view. Or easily seen, told , etc They hide it well. This place is unethical. Chicken sand which was half burnt but could tell it was a good flavor on in burnt half Loaded fries were good - had three chicken stripes I get "fair food" and trucks are pricey but to hide an 18% fee is being a crook! read more

Chicken and The Farm - Receipt - Chicken Shop Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Unethical, hidden fraud pricing. I paid $75 for 3 chicken sandwiches & some fries. But got receipt, and they added a manditory 20% "Tip" of $18! From a food truck at an outdoor festival. I don't mind tipping for service, but what was it? They called out my order, "Hey #14, your food is ready", and handed me the bag. Uh..No. I asked cashier to remove, and she refused. I later called and left store several messages, unreturned, so my bank is charging back the unearned fee. read more

Overpriced terrible food. We ate at their food truck at the Dublin St Patricks Day festival. Hog ($21 + 18% automatic gratuity = $24.78) - Pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw, aioli, and onions. The meat was cold and didn't have much flavor, all you could taste was the coleslaw. 1/5 Lucky Lad Loaded Fries (Special around $21-23 + 18% automatic gratuity) - This was fries with corned beef and Parmesan garlic. It was sooo disgusting. The corned beef was in long thin strands like spaghetti that made it hard to eat and not taste good. The garlic was so strong that it felt like it burned my tongue and was all I could taste. 1 day later and my whole mouth still tastes like garlic I can't get rid of it even after brushing my teeth multiple times. 0/5 read more

Chicken and The Farm - Menu - Chicken Shop Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Anytime I see this place is going to be somewhere I go out of my way to eat there. I've had the lobster roll and the fried chicken sandwich multiple times over and it's always crazy good. The owners are great people too. My elderly Mom tripped outside their booth at the Lafayette Arts and Wine festival and Lindsay came out and got her a chair in the shade. Brought her a water and she expedited our food and brought it out herself. True act of kindness that I'll never forget. The food speaks for itself though. It's the longest line at the festival every year it's been there hands down. read more

I agree with the previous poster that pricing is not as listed. I was charged $28 for 2 strips and some fries! My teen placed the order and I did not see it until 2 hours later. On my way out of the festival I looked at the menu and the posted price for this item was $14. So double?! That's ridiculous. Only giving a 2nd star because she enjoyed her meal, but it's definitely not worth $28! read more

Food is good when you can get it but honestly, they're just so unreliable. They're rarely at this location, and for the times they post, they're not here either. Have tried at least 5 times in the last 2 months. Didn't think it would be so frustrating trying to support local businesses. read more

Did not get the food I ordered. The staff were rude and unhelpful. Rip off. I should've looked at the other reviews first because people don't like this company. read more

48 hour seasoned buttermilk marinade- doesn't that sound like the chicken would be so flavorful and juicy? Reading that and seeing their display of choices made us decide to take a leap of faith and try them instead of roaming to see what other food vendors were at the Los Altos Arts & Wine Festival this weekend. We ordered the 2 piece farmhouse tenders with ranch, plain waffle fries, hot hen sandwich and 6 piece wings (dirty birdy). The total came out to be over $100 because taxes AND 18% automatic service fees. I don't know why 18% when it's literally like take out, there's no waiting on tables or cleaning up that they need to do. But we chalked it up to it being an experience at the festival and hoped the chicken would be good. Our number was called fairly quickly. I cut up the tenders for the kiddos but they took a bite and spit it out. It was soooo dry and bland!!! No wonder. They also forgot our ranch so my husband went to ask and they gave him attitude because there's a charge for extra sauce but he just wanted the sauce we already paid for but didn't receive! Even with the ranch, this was such a disappointment. I tried the hot hen and the buns weren't even toasted, it was cold to the touch. I hate when buns aren't warmed... The chicken was slathered in a tangy hot sauce but it was still so dry and bland inside. The wings were at least edible but I would've wanted it crispier bc the skin was soggy in some areas. The fries were the only things my kids would eat, they're truly plain and unseasoned despite the orange color. Just a bad experience overall- service, food and the vibe of the two taking orders. I had to come out of my review hiatus to write this one so you can hopefully make a more informed decision. read more

Feel conned by their deceptive pricing. If service charge is mandatory, just include it in your prices. Cant always see the asterisk pricing peering over a crowd read more

Tonight at Bite Nite 831 in Monterey, CA, we had the pleasure of trying Chicken and the Farm, and wow -- the bone-in chicken was amazing! We also met Damien and Odallas, who were so friendly and knew everything about their menu. Great food, great people, great vibes. I'll definitely be back! read more

Ordered a lobster roll at the Petaluma fair today. prices are not posted anywhere and my guy reached for his wallet and paid for it before we realized that it was $42. For a sandwich. It's fine we're enjoying the fair, it's a full meal that comes with coleslaw, potato chips, and brown butter sauce on the lobster roll. We asked for a side of their "special sauce" which is like 1000 island without the relish. We wait a good 20 minutes . As we are waiting I watch a man walk away With his chicken strips order he says I paid $22 and I got one strip. I watched the chef with his hand bring over another chicken strip and toss it on the top of his fries. .....when the lobster roll appears it is a couple pieces of lobster on a piece of bread with a small cup of sauce on the side. When I said "hey it says on the menu that this comes with coleslaw and chips" the person who served it to me says "it doesn't come with that if you get sauce". So I just paid $42 for a piece of bread with a couple pieces of lobster on it? They threw me a small bag of chips. I started to walk away and realized there was no butter sauce on the roll as well. I go back to the girl at the register and she explains to me that because I asked for sauce on the side that they didn't put the butter on it and because I got the "sauce" version it doesn't come with anything that it states on the menu. They give me two sauce cups full of cole slaw. It's about two tablespoons in each cup. I started to explain that $42 is an insane amount of money to charge for a piece of bread with a couple of pieces of lobster on it, at this point my guy is telling me that we should be asking for our money back. She explains to me the reason that it's so high is that they charge 18% gratuity (without telling you) as you are paying for your food that they haven't even served you yet. I let them know in not so nice words that this was unacceptable. This is really shady way to get money out of customers and to run a business. I want to say I have hope for small businesses like this but this is lying and stealing. read more

Overpriced. Terrible food and service. We ate at their food truck at the San Juan Bautista art and craft festival. They had a wooden table set up with a display of the menu items. Everything looked so enticing. I tried the Tuscan Hen sandwich. The chicken was a small flat piece, overcooked and dry. The sandwich was to come with a number of ingredients but only had arugula. The bread was thick and dry. The sandwich was very bready and bland. A family member tried the chicken and waffle fries. It was only 3pm and they had run out of waffle fries. They substituted with regular fries. The chicken was a small piece, overcooked and dry. The wait was way too long. The cooks appeared overwhelmed and disorganized. A buzzer is given to customers but were not working. The cooks were yelling out check #'s from the receipts. They had other types of sandwiches and loaded fries but just from what we experienced today, we will avoid this food truck. Further down the street, we came across another chicken food truck, Fury. Their food, service and everything was great. I wish I had found Fury first. read more

Cold fries, the oil was clearly old and burned. Long line. Real bad. $50 wasted. Don't recommend.

Unbelievable. Dried out grilled chicken breast on a bed of torn up romaine with a few croutons thrown in. Almost twenty bucks! The nerve. I could have bought an entire rotisserie chicken, a bag of Caesar salad and a jar of Caesar dressing for less. I don't know if the fried chicken or pork is any better, but my experience doesn't make me want to run back there. read more

Got food from the Petaluma fair. Was so disappointed in the cashier staff who were not welcoming. She told me I would get two pieces of chicken and fries at a high cost but I wanted to try. When my order came up it only had one piece. The chicken had absolutely no flavor whatsoever!!!! And fries were cold. They pushed dips and now I know why. So disappointed because you spend your hard earned money and I'm an easy going person but so not happy read more

I wish they had a location in the Monterey or Carmel area! The food we had at Good Days street fair in Pacific Grove was so good! Not only did they have an amazing set up, but the staff and who I assumed were the owners, were so friendly! We wanted to try everything because it looked and smelled so good. They had a huge line and we barely had to wait to get our food fresh and hot. The hot chicken sandwich was my favorite. It was full of flavor, hot, juicy, and generously portioned. The pork was tender and flavorful as well! Highly recommend! read more

Underwhelming and Overpriced. We ordered a lobster roll at the festival last weekend, in Ripon and was expecting for it to be amazing for the $32 price and on top of that they added 18% gratuity. I had already promised my son the sandwich so it is what it is. Not only did I pay close to $42 for a lobster roll with a bag of chips but I waited almost 25 minutes when she said 10 minutes. Yes, you have a beautiful set up but the 18% is insane, your prices are already high for the food quality, everyone has overhead and your prices reflect that. It wasn't worth my time or money. read more

Ordered a bucket of wings and the pulled pork fries for dinner tonight. Everything was absolutely delicious! We had the food delivered and it arrived quickly and hot. Plus, the wings were still crispy! Honestly, I did not have high expectations for this place, but my husband was craving fried chicken so we gave it a try. I'm really glad that we did! My son said that the waffle fries were the best he's ever eaten. I think the wings were the best I've ever had. They were meaty and not at all oily. We got the buffalo and blue cheese wings. Both sauces were clearly made from scratch and divine. Next time I'd like to try one of the fried chicken sandwiches. read more

This is a review of the truck parked on Boulevard Way. Stopped by to pick up some dinner on a Sunday evening around six. Friendly service, generous portions. It was slightly raining outside, and they offered to bring my order to me in the car so I didn't have to wait outside. Would go again! read more

Horrible conditions at the Petaluma Fair! $27 for a chicken sandwich but that's not the worst part. After you pay you notice all the people waiting for food. THEN you look at the cooks fixing the food and they are eating self serve ice cream while trying to make a salad with bare hands. They put the salad down and put on gloves. After putting something on the salad they start to eat that off someone's salad. Then he takes off his glove and eats more ice cream and starts licking his fingers. Several are eating ice cream, even the cashier. The cashier not eating has a drink on the counter. People start taking photos and naming off health code violations!!! I ask for my money back and the cashier is still eating. Only one food worker is actually getting food orders ready. He's obviously the only one not on drugs. This unhealthy situation should have been shut down. It was having the people on the crazy train trying to cook your food for an outrageous price!! Avoid this at all costs!! read more

Brett(?) is running the show for lunch today by himself, who is truly passionate and takes great pride in his ingredients and quality, which I really admire. I appreciate him taking time to explain his fresh & best ingredients used as he manages in the kitchen as well. It's this attention to detail--like the sesame seeds and scallion garnish sprinkles, or the quality napkins provided--that elevates the food to a high-end restaurant quality while keeping it reasonably priced. I would definitely return and support this local small business. The Hot Hen sandwich is deliciously messy in the best way, and I really enjoyed the truffle oil and aioli wings, rather than dirty lemon--the batter and seasoning are spot on! Perhaps simplifying the menu & sauce choices a bit could help maintain consistency? That's because I genuinely want this business thrives because affordable good eats are hard to find locally these days. I would revisit again soon & recommend it to others! read more

Chicken and The Farm - A large & tasty Hot Hen Sandwich. I preferred the simple truffle oil & aioli chicken wings. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I agree with the other reviewer. Underwhelming for the price. (I ordered the Tuscan chicken sandwich so my review is based off that). The sun dried tomatoes were too tough to chew. The crispy chicken was no different than any other generic crispy chicken elsewhere. IMHO, just walk 3 minutes down to Moruccis and get a better tasting sandwich for less price. Sorry, just keepin it real read more

I placed an order over the phone at 1:30pm for a 3:30 pick up. I was running behind but showed up at 4pm and the order hadn't been started and I was asked to wait 20mins minutes and the woman was unapologetic. I left and went empty handed to the party I had promised a bucket of wings for. Very unfortunate experience as really looking forward to supporting this new local spot. read more

Love to have a new local spot available. However, it's quite simply overpriced and underwhelming.

Tried ordering food from their truck and was told they couldn't take our order for another 15 minutes after they had already been "open" for 15 minutes. Went back to order and then told us we had to wait another 20 minutes for our food to be ready. Almost an hour after they were "open" we still were unable to get food so we decided to pass. Service was quite poor. read more

Schedule is fiction as they are closed many more days than open for business. Not sure what's happening. I understand their doing weekend festivals but something is amiss here. read more

Great service, and great food! Definitely worth stopping by, even made sure the wings were extra crispy!

The is legit the most delicious food you will ever try! The owner is running this business himself out of the love for the game so I am giving this guy 10/10! Just try the food guys it's on another level! read more

Although the food was really delicious the service was absolutely awful. There was only 1 person working and it took FOREVER to get our food. We waited for over 1 hour to finally receive our order, other customers were getting frustrated and Door Dash drivers were being told it was going to take longer than what was promised. If you are going to offer a dining experience then at least get 2 or 3 people to staff the food truck! read more
