Ever since Mom & Pop's Chicken Shop moved from EDH to Cameron Park, it has truly become a diamond in the rough. This place is one of a kind. Not only is the food absolutely delicious and amazing, but the whole experience makes it even better. The ambience, music, people, and overall vibe create such a fun and welcoming atmosphere. It's the kind of spot where you walk in and instantly feel good about being there. You can tell there's a lot of heart behind the place. I genuinely love this restaurant, and it's become a favorite for my family. My kids are always asking to go there, which says a lot. Great food, great energy, and a place that feels special every time we visit. read more

Get ready chx shop! To close! But good luck in life, seriously. Yall are not equipped to run a successful "chicken" shoppe. We go here from time to time. We order the same things generally. Critique why we will generally not go back but do. The week of Austin 3:16, what a joke. Last time. 1st thing i noticed was the lack of customers at a regular time. Wierd. Now I know why. Portions are now DISMINISHINGLY OBVIOUSLY. Sauces: all of them next to each other, I should have taken a pic: one is full, one is half full, the other a quarter full lol. Like, wtf are you thinking serving this? Sides: yikes. Down hill. Went from bowls of sides to 1/3 bowls of sides and fries? The easiest thing to make. Worst fries of all time hands down. It was like they took em off someone elses plate and let them sit then reserved em to see if they would be kicked back. Cook(s) deserve to be fired. I'm not one to send food back so they can spit on it and/or feel a certain way, so I'll just deal with it. But! Joke! And, if I'm being completely real, the cooks need to change their MF gloves. We can see you touching food then your PHONE then people's food. Again. Yeah close the curtain. Staff. And owners. Move on. Be mad at me but everyone who goes there regularly knows it and SEES it. Or they don't because they are drunk. But, customers, you should note. If you order to go, YIKES!!!!! Owners: do not contact me, I see you in there. You already know the issues. read more

Best community gathering place. We enjoy coming here for the tastiest fried chicken plate, fries, and onion rings. It's so good, we typically order another chicken plate to take home. The wait staff are all very welcoming and good at what they do. There's plenty of covered areas for outdoor dining where the fam can bring the kids and relax. It's always a great dining experience. Love it! read more

I have been here a few times and it has been really great. There is good amount of parking it's very clean area. You can walk in and find a table I went on a Friday evening and it wasn't too crowded and was able to find a table. They have outdoor seating as well. All the employees were super friendly and nice and making sure we had everything we needed they also checked up on us. Megan and Jacquelyn were super nice and friendly. The food was so delicious I have has the pretzel bites and the mustard sauce was so good that it came with and the chicken strips were so good they give you a good amount of food for what you pay for. If you want good quality for decent price I would come here. They have drinks little bit of everything beer, wine, mixed drinks. I had an electric cherry it was so good. You can come here have a drink and good food and chill and it was too crowded or noisy I was able to find a table Friday evening. If you are in the area or near by I would recommended coming here. read more

In my honest opinion, chicken is good but not great. The batter on the chicken is a little too thick for my liking with a lingering oily mouth feel. The sauces, however, were absolutely delicious and carried the meal. They were creative, well balanced and each had a unique flavor. The garlic fries were super flavorful and hit that perfect garlic spot but were quite drenched in oil. Atmosphere was fun with live music and friendly staff. read more

The naked chicken wings were nice and crunchy but for the price of wings, you'd think they'd be a little meatier. The service was friendly, they were really busy so we had to wait a bit for drinks but i think they were worth the wait. Would want to try one of the chicken sandwiches next time read more

Love this place. Since I moved about a year ago, I stumbled with this hidden gem! This is located in the backwoods of Cameron Park, not too far from EDH! We ordered the chicken sandwich, I must say it was very crispy and fluffy, there was more batter than chilcken. However it was lacking flavor. I partnered it with some tots, which cane slightly warm instead of hot. We also got the chicken strips, this tasted better for me. It was cooked perfectly, topped with fries. The fores was delicious. Overall, the service was adequate and the staff was kind and attentive. read more

Burger was dry and I ordered tatter tots and got fries that were undercooked. Seems more like a bar than a restaurant. It used to be pretty good. The food has gone down hill a bit read more

This is a go to spot for the EDH and Cameron Park area. Kids love it for dinner, frosty and fry's is favorite. My go to spot for lunch. Megan is always on point and always adds to the friendly environment. Food is always what you expect, bomb and home style cooking with a flare. Both Nicks are awesome. One for hospitality and one making sure service/food is how it should be. read more

My daughter and I love this place. We can walk here from our home. They are always so welcoming and friendly! The food is good, but we come back for the family friendly atmosphere. read more

We moved to South Carolina and no longer in EDH. I will say that Chx Shop has ruined me. I can't order chicken strips at any other place; they just don't match the tenderness and flavor. We can get big chicken tenders, but do not match Chx Shop. And, I can't believe there are negative comments about the Mac and Cheese. Seriously, delicious. Maybe Nick and Alexa need to open a place on Hilton Head Island. read more

Welp, I'd like to preface this by saying that this is the first time I've had a sort of unpleasant experience here. Every time I've been in prior to this it's been great; The only difference was that this time we did an online order. My mom got chicken strips and they were the highlight. Super crispy, but lacking flavor seasoning wise. And the ranch also tasted like hidden valley, which works for some, but for me was a bit of a turn off. I got the buffalo chicken Mac n cheese and I was pretty disappointed. For one the food was cold, and it shouldn't have been cold for how long it took us to pick it up and bring it home. But also the chicken did not taste very fresh, and the Mac n cheese wasn't even really Mac n cheese, it tasted more like pasta with a bland Alfredo sauce than Mac n cheese. Not terrible, but really not all that good. The most disappoint dish was the salad my dad and sister got. Usually the salad portions are huge in-person, but the Caesar salad they got was tiny and was missing toppings. Will this dissuade us from coming back and eating in-person? No, because we know this is not their usual standard. But will we order online again? Definitely not. read more

Good food, great times and service to match! They have a very solid happy hour all day on Mondays and good locals are drawn to the flame.

Went in today. I come from Placerville to do some laundry next door because it's clean and well maintained. Enough of that. I always go to have a beer or 2 and some food while I wait for laundry. Not busy at all. Around 1PM. The bartender is ok, but non attentive. Ordered a beer and she asked me if I wanted to eat. Yup, she handed me a menu and was busy with a FEW people's drink orders. Nothing drastic. Went to throw my laundry into the dryer and came back. I ordered some food and waited 25 minutes. Trying to be patient, but gave up. Asked for my 2beer bill and left. I asked her what happened to my order and she told me that she put it on hold. Huh???? Told me sorry. It's all good. I grabbed my laundry and headed down to El Dorado Hills to Relish for a couple beers and a burger. Way better customer service. Seems like Chx Shop caters to regulars. At least this specific barmaid sucked. read more

The food, friendliness & attentiveness of the staff, and all around ambiance of the place is stellar! Love having such a cute fun place to go on my lunch break read more

Soooo expensive for basic food. Cocktails tasted good but also very expensive. Do not let the Mom and Pop name fool you. Watermelon app, Ceaser wrap, chicken fingers and fries, and a salad with three cocktails and a beer... $140 before tip read more

I ordered fish and chips to go! Got home and they had forgot our dessert. The people were very apologetic and they actually delivered the dessert to our house and it was delicious! We will be back! And we really appreciate the extra effort of their employee to make this right read more

Great local spot in CP to grab some chicken sandwiches and brews. Lots of tasty appetizers and we love the ambience inside or out. They also might have the best fish and chips in the county, soooo good. read more

I have driven by this establishment numerous times without knowing what to expect, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. Everything I advocate for in terms of customer service was delivered here. The greeting was exceptionally friendly, the food was truly amazing, the atmosphere was enjoyable and clean, and they offer a full bar. I ordered the two chicken soft tacos and was thoroughly impressed. They featured grilled chicken, a savory sauce, and pineapple I highly recommend trying this place. It also appears to be an excellent venue for a party, with a very inviting outdoor space. read more

The seating is open. No one says anything if you are new. They are busy, but the drink order was taken fairly quickly and delivered in due time. If you have food allergies you will have to speak up. No one asks questions. In my case I wanted no bread and had to ask for baked chicken. This is not the standard. They seem to use a Mexican cheese, cotija, on a lot of their items. Read the menu carefully. It is loud inside, be warned. Sit outside if you wish to have an intimate conversation. read more

My husband just picked up 2 orders of chicken strips and fries within the 10 minute time we were told. The chicken strips were not hot and the fries were they worst. Not hot not crispy like they had been sitting around all day. Not sure if this is how they treat to go orders but we will not be ordering again. read more

The menu is a little bit smaller, but there are some really yummy dishes on it. The decorations in there are so fun. They even have a disco ball chicken, and they always have something playing on the TVs to watch. read more

Always the best service and best food! They use tallow now for everything fried! Let's support our seed oil free local restaurants!

Rude staff and not a family friendly environment. I walked in for the first time with my kiddos and it was a bit busy.. somebody said hello after a little bit but that was it. Wasn't sure if it was a seat yourself type deal or what. There was a group of people sitting on the patio and one of the waitresses started going out there, so I went to just see if there was something and she's looked at me like I was dumb and goes "the patio isn't actually open." She had an ugly attitude while saying it. I ended up just walking out. read more

I live on the food here, another extension of Nicks culinary excellence. The Rib Eye cheesesteak is the best sandwich in edc, the shop tacos are my current addiction. Service from Megan is always top notch and she gets me in n out quick when I'm busy with work. This is the best food in Cameron Park no contest. Also the fried chicken is amazing. read more

Been a few times, Sunday afternoon while I'm doing laundry down the way. Brussel sprouts are delicious as well as garlic fries, tater tots are even better. Tried the original sandwich, it was ok but I wasn't in love, then tried the spicy chicken sandwich and it was delicious. Ranch is decent read more

We are so glad to see this place open again. Also love that they have table service now! Funny we didn't have any chicken today, I had the corned beef special and my husband had the fish and chips. My corned beef was great as were the mashed potatoes and veggies. The husband was very happy with the fish which is saying something since he's kind of a fish and chips snob. His fries tasted a little weird today so our server immediately suggested mashed potatoes as an alternative which worked great. I always appreciate Nick's restaurants that never make us feel weird about speaking up. Looking forward to coming back and actually having chicken next time! read more

I just hope and pray to God the little league baseball families who were so graciously over served alcohol tonight because the kitchen was slow tonight makes it home safe. All of the innocent kids. It truly baffles me. And to the dads, who wanted to fight MY husband because I was the one who had the courage to say anything has enough courage to speak to ME, let's talk. I know what I stand for. My name is in this review. When I voiced my concerns to the male server, he did not really care at all. I have worked in the service industry, and this is a NONO. Do BETTER. We will NOT be back. read more

Getting to the point. A lady friend wanted me to try out this place and why not. Walked in and the place was nice. There was a full bar with about 10-15 patrons. Sat down at the bar waiting for service but after about 15 minutes then ended up getting up to get our own. Mind you, this place wasn't busy to the point to help out a customer. Eventually walked up to the register and was able to make an order of chicken strips and tots. While waiting a total of 30 minutes for the food we finially got it. Between that time I seen new customers sitting and getting their food waaay before we did. After receiving our food came to the house and that food was terrible! The chicken was hard as a rock and the center of the tots were cold. I was baffled on the service and food quality so I asked her what was going on. Come to find out the girl had an issue with the owners friend so they sabotaged our order. Take my review as you'd like but my point is messing with people's food is wrong. Treating others because they're with someone you don't like is wrong. Stop acting like elementary kids and run your business like adults. Other than that the place is nice. read more

Funny taste to chicken wings not my favorite I won't order them again I don't know if it was their seasoning or oil or what.

I would have to highly disagree with Sara! This is a warm, welcoming, clean space. It is affordable for the quality that you are getting. This isn't McDonald's. If you want McDonald's prices and quality then just go there. Staff is always friendly, area is always clean, and accommodating. The big ass burger garlic fries is our kids usual go to here. Where my friends and I enjoy the happy hour cocktails and garlic fries with all the different kind of dips are to die for. Thanks Nick D for bringing this place to cp. it fits perfect and is actually super affordable especially when you look at the prices and quality (you should always look at prices before you purchase something, as well as the quality ) I feel like most adults do this anyways read more

This place is solid - best fried chicken! It is the same establishment that used to be located in Town Center and same owner. We stopped in on Saturday for a late lunch and were greeted by Cat at the bar who made some great recommendations and provided excellent service. They currently serve wine and beer with a pending license for mixed drinks anticipated within a month. Good beer tap list, lots of TVs to watch sports and lots of chicken decor to go with the restaurant theme, friendly and welcoming staff. The food is really good here if you like fried chicken. We ordered the chicken strips that are moist chicken breast chunks with the perfect amount of breading fried at the ideal temperature to create a crisp fried batter coating. Lots of places don't get the seasoning or temperature right but not this place. Seasoning is on point! Batter is not soggy nor oily and not too thick / thin. It comes with a selection of dipping sauces and Cat gave us her favorites. They charge $0.75 per extra sauce. We liked the lime curry the best! We also got the fried chicken plate which is enough to feed a family of 4 - you get half a chicken drizzled with honey, potatoes (we substituted fries for mashed) and Cole slaw. Chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned, similar to the fried chicken strips but with the bones - breast, leg, wing, thigh. Cole slaw was also very tasty. Winner, winner chicken dinner!! read more

This place is such a gem! Best fish and chips around, cute restaurant and the staff is super friendly and on top with their service.

I was craving a fried chicken sandwich so we went for lunch. I couldn't finish it, it was huge! Hubs got chicken strips and loved them. Took the rest home for dinner. One thing we noticed is the food, especially fries stayed HOT for a long time. I love that! Will be back soon! read more

Had the pleasure of eating here last week. Had excellent wings and outstanding fried chicken with mashed potatoes. Everything was spot on perfect. In addition, our server was absolutely wonderful. Welcoming, friendly, and on top of her game. Highly recommended. read more

The chicken is really good. The mac and cheese is amazing. My only complaint is some of the bartenders pay way more attention to the regulars. I get it but a normal person could become a regular if they feel welcome. ( this was sitting at the bar.) read more

Great food. The teriyaki sauce was fantastic. Great fries too. Had the chicken strips and they were wonderful too

Bottom line: incredible food, top-tier service, and an atmosphere that feels like home. Megan, you're a legend -- and this fried chicken joint is officially my go-to spot. read more

We just found this place this past Saturday. We really didn't know what to expect walking in, we just knew the kids were asking for chicken. The place had a fun décor, and the woman working was very nice and welcoming. So were a couple of ladies who were eating at the bar, who mentioned we may have just stumbled into one of Cameron Park's hidden gems. We ordered the fries topped with sausage gravy, cheese, and bacon as an appetizer. Everybody loved them. The gravy in particular was excellent - not too salty, with the sausage flavoring their creamy sauce perfectly. Interesting side note here - they had actually fried up some actual bacon for their bacon fries. It occurred to me that this shouldn't be the novel idea it's become these days, but was definitely a good sign. I ordered their "Hell-Dorado" spicy chicken sandwich. Being on the hunt for a perfect spicy sandwich for years, and as somebody who truly likes some heat, I had no idea what I was in for here. It did look very promising when it arrived. A thick, large piece of chicken was pouring over the sides of a gently toasted brioche bun. Then, the first bite just blew my hair back. To preface - I could write a book on how to do a spicy chicken sandwich wrong at this point. The common pratfalls are: too much bun, too little (or too much) sauce, the pickles being weak and too thinly sliced, or my favorite - the thing just isn't spicy. This fiery culinary delight however - it was the polar opposite of all of this. The generously sized piece of chicken was crispy, hot, and it was juicy. The sauce was plentiful - just enough to drip a little when you took a bite, but not enough to give you 5 minute soggy bun syndrome. The dill crunch from the pickles snapped perfectly. And then, came the flavor... immediately followed by mounting heat. I almost couldn't' believe how each component was playing out. For perhaps the only moment this last Saturday, I didn't say a word for a few minutes, and just ravenously devoured this thing. Now, anyone that enjoys spicy foods has been through a disappointing meal before. You tackle some supposedly super spicy entre, maybe one where you even have to sign a waiver, only to be let down. Generally, these sort of things do end up having some heat, sometimes an excessive amount in fact. Which is great and all, but the problem is, that's often all they're offering. Sure it's hot- but it tastes like, basically, nothing. That was not the case here. In what was no doubt a mad kitchen scientist moment, these guys created a perfect hot sauce. It's bursting with flavor, followed by an absolutely stellar, yet proportionate, amount of heat. I was sitting there in awe - at least for as long as I could stand it before jumping into another bite. I feel bad for any onlookers - I'm sure it must have looked like I hadn't eaten in weeks. It was so good, I didn't even stop to take a picture. I destroyed this thing. I've been marinating on this review for over two days now. It can be easy for me to become hyperbolic when I have an experience like this. I tend to jump to statements like "This was the best" or "This was the worst" such-and-such when I have such a striking food moment. But, I've thought this through. After over 48 hours of constantly thinking about this thing, it's time to report: This was the best spicy chicken sandwich I have ever eaten. Keep doing exactly what you're doing here, you guys. I will be back - soon! read more
