Had to see what all the fuss was about. I had a mild slider and fries. The mild was just enough spice for me. Huge chicken tender and very juicy. The cheese fries where ok but as with anything fries are best eaten immediately vs take out. Peach tea was the bomb. I could order a gallon of that. Food took about 45 min from when I ordered around 1:15 But I shopped at the European deli next door. Staff was very friendly and kept me posted on the order status. read more

The crazy chicken was actually spicy. Many of these places say "spicy" but they are very lacking. The Mac and cheese was good, but had a little too much of their house sauce on top read more

I've been here three times before, and I absolutely love the flavor and crispy texture of the chicken they have! Just a forewarning: they make everything fresh, so there's always like a fifteen-minute wait. However, it's well worth it -- I promise you! Now, their heat levels are actually legit, so I advise that if you typically want hot, don't order crazy (the hottest heat level) thinking that it'll constitute as their hot. Crazy is in another league of its own, and you might want to buy some ice cream at the gas station down the street just in case. Concluding, I'll definitely be coming here more again in the future due to the food and, not to mention, proximity to the university. Make sure to check in before your first time arriving; you'll get a 15% off discount! read more

This spot has the juiciest chicken! The staff was friendly and we got lucky and got seats for our big group. The French fries were super crispy and we love love loved their special sauce! read more

First experience with Crazy D's and my review is mixed. The food showed up packaged nicely and it was still warm. The first thing you notice is the good portion size and the wonderful red color on the hot chicken. Just what you are hoping for. First bite was off. The powder seasoning was waaay too thick and it felt chalky on my tongue. My teeth almost squeaked like chalk on a board as they cut through the thick powder. After that you are hit with heat that is well beyond the normal classification of "medium". I know. I know. It's hot chicken. What did I expect? But we all agreed it was hotter than we thought it should be for a medium rating. My wife who loves hot buffalo chicken didnt finish her slider because it was too hot. The cheese fries were disappointing as the website calls for house made cheese "sauce" but what was on them was more plasticky than a sauce. All in all the quality of the buns and chicken was good but the powdery, chalky seasoning was way too thick and not like the hot chicken we had in Nashville a few months back. Might try them again understanding their heat index is designed for legit hot food fans. read more

They should be ashamed of themselves for charging 13.85$ for this "greek salad" . Clearly the pictures of the salad on this page are old or something cause i was clearly catfished. Don't waste 14$ on this , it's not even a full meal i'll still be hungry . At least a burger and fries would fill you up and it's the same price/cheaper . Edit : starting eating it the dressing is no flavor taste like straight oil and with al the cucumbers feels like im eating water read more

I am giving this place 3 stars strictly based on the staff as they where extremely friendly. The food was a total let down... was hopping to have to good hot chicken... It was a bit hot but not good.... the kids had the country style no sauce and the chicken was dry and crust had absolutely zero flavor tastes like it was flour with a bit of salt only. The strips where huge which caused them to cook them a long period and the ends of the chicken in the thinner part where just jerky.... The hot ones just where not good... I've had princes and Hatty Bs etc and these where just not good.... juat tastes like chili powder..... Very disappointed and won't be back.... read more

This place is legit! Don't follow the negative yelp reviews. I don't know what else to say to them. Anyways we came in right when they opened and wanted to try the hot chicken. I tried combo #3 and wow it's great. The portions are great and I couldn't finish it. We tried the "hot" and it was not too spicy, and should have did the crazy flavor. But again my tolerance is pretty high. I like how it's not too far from the peppermill and literally walking distance from Atlantis. I will come back again when I'm back in town. Very good chicken! read more

As somebody who had heard great things about Nashville hot chicken for years but hadn't tried any, I was very excited when I heard of Crazy D's Hot Chicken opening in Reno. We were a little surprised when we saw that it shares a storefront with Bazaar European Deli and Cafe, probably because we were expecting some "down home Southern folks" to be running things but no matter, the proof is in the chicken so I reserved any judgments! We were immediately greeted upon walking in and after looking at the menu for a bit, I ordered the one giant chicken strip and one giant "slider" combo. I like the heat so I went with Hot for my spice level. My wife opted for the Country Style (no heat) two strip combo. I also ordered some of their fresh-brewed peach sweet tea. We dined in and there was not much of a wait before our food arrived. My chicken had that signature red color to it that definitely consisted of lots of paprika and cayenne. My chicken was spicy and flavorful, though not as hot as I anticipated. I guess I will have to go Crazy next time! The slaw in the slider was really good as well. My wife thought her Country Style was a little bland so she might step up to the Mild next time. The peach sweet tea was delicious and perfectly sweet, probably not disgustingly sweet like Southerners like it but it was A-ok to me! The french fries that came with were perfectly done and lightly salted. They came with what the menu said was crazy sauce. I thought that was going to be their hottest sauce but this was sweet, almost like a remoulade. Whatever it was, it went great with the fries and chicken. Definitely gonna come back and try the Crazy stuff! read more

Crazy D's Hot Chicken - One strip and one slider combo with Hot spice level - Chicken Shop Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I've been wanting to try this place for sometime and had heard a lot of good things about it. Everyone was right, this spot is great!!!! They have tender and slider options and I was shocked at the sizes of both! I ordered a medium heat and was very happy with it but I definitely think I want to try the hot next. This place is the closet thing I've had to Hattie B's which is a hot chicken restaurant in the south. Highly recommend trying! read more

Crazy D's Hot Chicken - #Combo #3 - Chicken Shop Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Food was fair to goodish. Service was very strange and VERY SLOW. Location and decor was almost worse. It shares a space with a liquor store that was closed while we were there??? I don't get the hype really as a 20 year chef the food not better than the other chicken places with much worse service and was not cheap at all. The only thing going on in the room was a lone TV with SpongeBob. read more

Was in Reno for a few days and staying Atlantis when my bf and I were hungry at 11pm. Luckily this place was open up late and within walking distance from our hotel! We ordered ahead on here for pick up. The place is super quiet (no music playing) and has a relatively small seating area inside that you can sit at to eat (which is formatted to abide by social distancing rules). Nevada is allowing inside seating but being from Cali, we didn't feel safe doing so. This restaurant is connected to a market which is cool but confused us at first. The service was relatively quick, just told the cashier our name and received our food. For the food, we ordered two Combo #2 which contained two HUGE tenders, fries, a slice of toasted bread, and their sauce. I got medium spice which was spicy but bearable while my bf got the spicy which was definitely spicier and crept up on you. The tenders were absolutely delicious when piping hot and cold. I had to finish my second tender hours later as the tenders were ginormous. It was soooo good with the sauce and even on its own. We ended up coming back with his family right before leaving Reno. It's that good, I still dream of the tenders. Definitely coming back when I have the chance! read more

One warning, due to the SIZE of these strips and tenders, you may be waiting a bit. With that out of the way, there really isn't anything like this around Reno. The paste/seasoning creates an awesome layer of flavor that is unlike the traditional breading you will find at most chicken places around town. The sheer size of the giant tenders is a meal on its own, I think one of the tenders is enough for most mortals. I chose to get the giant slider AND and giant tender combo and I couldn't finish my fries! Don't under estimate the amount of chicken you get for your money. I also went for the spice/heat level just under CRAZY. It def cleared my sinuses and made me break out in a sweat but I was able to finish my chicken and enjoy every bite. Even as a heat lover, I don't think I will be going higher than this. Other than the cook time (which was worth it, just be prepared), this place is a great addition to Reno's chicken options. read more

We love Crazy D's and have picked up directly and ordered through third party for delivery several times. Very consistent and delicious. I just have to give them props for handling a situation so, so well that was out of their control. I placed an order online, through a 3rd party app, for pickup, not delivery. We showed up to pick up the to-go order but they didn't have any record of it. I showed them our proof of order, which they didn't have in their system, instead of freaking out about it or placing any blame they just wrote it down and took care of it. The young gentlemen that worked tonight and took care of us handled the issue with class and we appreciate their professionalism. The food, of course, was just as delicious as always but the guys working front of house were the stars tonight. read more

Big flavorful pieces. Sauce extraordinary, and prices more than fare. Really a local hot spot in NV for some really good meat! They have great spices but regular is also super juicy and well prepared. Extra hot has both initial and slow burns super fresh! Will be returning customers. read more

I got the number 4 combo with lemonade. First off, I finished the lemonade in a few sips since most of it was ice...not worth the $3. The chicken was average. I got the crazy chicken on the heat scale, and it was a reasonable amount of heat, but the thickness of the chicken skin was something I couldn't get past. I ended up just picking most of it off. It was encrusted in such a thick layer of seasoning that it ruined the texture for me. I don't think I'd try it again. Canes might just be better for the type of chicken I was looking for with a similar sauce. read more

Ok so let me start this by saying we will be giving them a second go. I personally didn't realize that the seasoning was a dry rub or a toss in dry ingredients. I had ordered chicken fingers, and I while I could probably have just eaten them with a fork, the seasoning just felt weird on my fingers. I have texture issues. They were so flavorful though! I was worried about the chicken being dry, as we had them delivered and sometimes extra time can dry food out. I pleasantly surprised though. The serving size was HUGE for the chicken! LIKE OMG HUGE! I wish it had come with a few more fries. But that is bc I love crinkle cut fries. I am not sure what the dipping sauce is that came with it but it gave a slightly sweet taste to the spice, and I am here for this!!!!!!! I look forward for giving this another shot! I think I am gonna try the sliders next time. read more

Killer hot chicken. It's pricey, I paid $12 for 2 tenders with fries and a piece of toast. I thought it was totally worth it - but be prepared. The chicken tenders are hefty af. Easily could feed 2 people for lunch. The hot is hot, but still have flavor and is tolerable. Get extra dipping sauce - it's fire. read more

Crazy D's Hot Chicken - Chicken tenders - Chicken Shop Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I went here for the first time on Sunday October 30,2022 bc it looked pretty good. There were 3 of us so 2 chicken meals and a ceasar salad later we ended up with a close to $50 bill. So off the bat it was pricey but if the food is good it's always worth it right? We were told the wait would be 15-20 mins bc they were finishing up a big order, we ended up waiting 30-40 mins for our food and when it came my $10 salad looked like it had about a 1/2 cup of lettuce a few sprinkles of Parmesan cheese and about 8 croutons (yes I counted them) I was not happy seeing as this is all I could eat since just having surgery so I asked the employee if I could have at least some more lettuce since I paid $10 and he hesitantly rolled his eyes sighed and went to get me more lettuce. I was very unimpressed and disappointed in this lack of customer service and presentation of our food. I would not recommend coming to this location, maybe I'll give the new location another shot to wow me. Overall not worth the money, time, or treatment. read more

After reading a bunch of reviews about it I was super excited to try it but it just didn't hit the spot like I thought it would. :( Chicken was kind of dry and the hotness to it was a bit weird tasting. read more

5 star sandwich! The #4 giant slider is the best sandwich in Reno right now. This is your warning: anything above mild is SPICY AF. Don't bother asking to talk to the manager because it burned your little taste buds. That's why its called HOT CHICKEN and not mild chicken. I usually go with the mild because the spice isn't overpowering the sweetness that is also there. This sandwich is the mayor of flavor town. I recommend letting it sit for AT LEAST 10 minutes before eating it, (it's difficult but trust me on this) it really gives the spice coating time to solidify and its easier to taste all the different flavors when its not fresh out of the fryer. Im glad to see the dining area coming together and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for Crazy D's. read more

Crazy D's Hot Chicken - #4 Giant Slider Mild - Chicken Shop Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The large chicken tenders are awesome! Fries are great too. The sandwich was a bit messy, so I'd recommend sticking with the large tenders and you will be very happy. The guy at the front was also very nice. This place should be much busier than it is. It's hard to see from the main road but well worth going to! read more

This place reminds me of Raising Cane's in a lot of ways, except that the chicken is obviously different. The spice is hot: if you're in between spices, go milder. I got medium and while I usually get medium spice at every cuisine I get and I like spice, this was just too hot for me. I'm not gonna say that I'm particularly experienced with Nashville hot chicken: I've only had it a few times. And I think it seemed reasonably well made, although maybe the chicken didn't come across as strongly and chicken-y as I want out of fried chicken. But for me, the batter was just too strong. It was too spicy, too flavored... I found myself peeling the batter off towards the end. The fries were also just extremely salty. I imagine that a lot of people would indeed like this, but it just wasn't for me. read more

By far one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in Reno. This place truly is a diamond in the rough. I was craving something new especially with this whole covid thing and saw this on yelp. I drove passed ot twice since it's right next to some mom and pop store. The menu is very simple. I ordered the number 4 combo and honestly it was very good. I'm not a huge fan of coleslaw on my sandwiches but the coleslaw was made differently here and I liked it a lot on the sandwich. Dont even get me started on the chicken. Ots packed with flavor and very juicy. Crazy how everyone is going to popeyes for a sandwich when you can walk a few seconds and have an amazing sandwich. You can also choose how spicy you want it. I just went with mild. Not spicy at all so I'll prolly try the next level up or 2. But I will forsure come back and tell everyone I know about this place. I really hope this place stays open with this whole pandemic. I'll be sad if they are forced to close their doors. read more

Ahhh I have to admit that I kept seeing posts about Crazy D's and to be truthful I was not impressed at all. Maybe it was because I ordered delivery but the HOT was not really all that spicy. The flavor wasn't all that and to be honest if I was going to spend money on a chicken sandwich I would rather go to Pine State. read more

We loved this place so much we went there twice during our recent visit. Service was fast and friendly. The food was great! The first time we went, my husband and I both ordered the 2 slider meals each. That was way too much food for us. Today we went back and had the combo #1 with 2 tenders each. That was the perfect amount of food. I like spicy so I ordered mine hot. It did not disappoint and was the perfect amount of spice for me. Loved the peach tea! Also loved the crinkle fries. Will definitely be back! read more

The fries were good but the deep fry on the chicken and the chili on the chicken was not good at all, we got the nitro and tbh it wasn't even good just bitter , it just felt like they just battered it carelessly. Good idea of restaurant just needs to execute better, I'm from Los Angeles Area and I've tried amazing chicken, I got excited for this place, but I'll be back once they fix the whole batter thingy. read more

Holy SH$*@ this was the best chicken I've had next to Nashville hot chicken. Get it...go, go now. You will love the heat and oil/spice goodness on top of white bread. The Hot is not that bad, so start there and enjoy. Going back for seconds later today. read more

Wow, all I can say is that this place is hella good. Everything was well put together, chicken was amazing and huge, sauce is hella good, bread was hella good, fries were crispy. 5/5. Would definitely come back every time I'm in the area. read more

The crazy chicken is hot and spicy. The veggies are crisp and fresh. Good food. Cool market. Customize your order. I got a #2 and a Greek salad. I ate it all. I might recommend chopping the vegetables smaller but keeping the portion size the same. But that's no big deal. It's good veggies. read more

Crazy D made me some good chicken and some delivery people brought it to me during a global pandemic and I really appreciate it. I live 15 minutes away according to Google Maps so realistically I probably didn't eat any of this until 25 or so minutes after it had been prepared. The sliders (which are not really sliders, full on chicken sandies is more accurate) traveled plenty good. We weren't sure if the tenders might be better to order for delivery (ie maybe the buns would get soggy) but it doesn't matter, they're both good, order whichever you want. The onion rings were also very good and traveled well. Get some, and eat them first. The fries may be fine for delivery but we'd already let them sit while eating the onion rings so not as sure. We still ate some and they were still good, but maybe not too quality. We're banking on them being great for warming up in the convection oven though. But what about the chicken, you say? The chicken is crispy and juicy and delicious. We ordered some "hot" and some "crazy" and my only criticism would be that both need to be hotter. Let the wimps order medium. What is currently the crazy should be the hot. Then make the new crazy about twice as hot. Crazy should be crazy. It's currently "yes this is nicely spicy good show old chap." read more

I used to love this place during lockdown and 2020. Now every time I get my food it's never hot and usually room temp or cold. Also the employees have really bad attitudes. They aren't very friendly and are always moping around and moody. The quality has gone way down since it has become popular and it's so disappointing. I'm not sure it'll ever be the same again.. read more

Super good food and very friendly service! I got the tender and slider(hot) sandwhich with fries and it did not disappoint. The huge portion was super good and I was forced to eat mine slowly and therefore have a second meal for later. Huge pieces of juicy, hot chicken.True Nashville style! Taking my friend back now. Twice in one day! read more
