Honestly I didn't have high expectations due to the low reviews but I was pretty surprised at the…read morefood I got. Popcorn chicken- so this is definitely not the popcorn chicken I'm used to. They use a wet batter to coat the chicken instead of the potato starch so it doesn't have the outer panko-like texture. It also doesn't have any five spice taste. Despite this, the chicken was very moist and delicious. Paired with their spicy sauce, it was actually quite addicting. Fried oyster mushrooms - delicious, juicy and crispy. I'd get this again. Fries - this one is a pass for me. It's crispy on the outside and mash potato textured on the inside. Not too greasy but nothing too special for me. Orange chicken sandwich - this wasn't what I expected at all. The orange chicken sauce is very watery and I could barely taste the sauce at all. It just tasted like a slightly sweet chicken sandwich. The chicken was juicy and the slaw they added had a good crunch to it. Overall it's enjoyable but I'd probably get the regular chicken sandwich instead. There's two kiosks for ordering and items were made to order.

Easy to use although I did have to ask the worder how to apply the BOGO special and she said they just make you two when you order one! We got the BOGO fish cakes, the popcorn chicken and a box of regular chicken. I wasn't a fan of any of it. The coating was too sweet for my taste. Chicken was nothing great and the sauces we got tasted like something from a fast food place. The portion was pretty good though, esp for the free box of fish cakes and the popcorn chicken. My guy really enjoyed it though so giving 4 stars due to his happiness with it!

I liked that they have the option for veggies as opposed to rice as well. I did not try the other chicken items, so cannot comment on them. Be aware that this is a takeout place. There is no indoor seating, but there are some outdoor tables to go to. Service was relatively quick; took about 10 min. Its a very basic place, so perhaps takeout or a quick outdoor meal would be the most realistic expectation.

The poor service is really the stain on an otherwise good experience…read more I stopped in today to grab lunch. I ordered online and walked in to find an unmanned desk and kiosks for ordering. I approached the counter to pick up my order and was completely ignored. Then a member of staff approached the counter directly in front of me with a tray of food, making eye contact with me. As soon as I began to say "Hi, picking up an order..." the worker yelled very loudly "ORDER FOR ROB" all while still maintaining eye contact with me, like 2 feet from my face. Really took me aback to have someone yell in my face while blankly staring at me. After he was done yelling, he looked blankly at me (not saying anything), so I was like "Uh, I'm here for an online order..." and he shuffled off to get it. Took my food and left feeling puzzled by the entire exchange. But the food itself was good. Hot, fresh, huge servings (couldn't finish my sandwich and fries). Juicy chicken with crispy breading. If they can figure out how to staff their counter with even mildly personable people, they'd be in good shape.

I don't know how you can train that other than just hiring the right people. The vibe is wonderful. Everybody is pleasant. The food is amazing, the reward system is great, and gives good (free) rewards. Definitely an OC top 5 lunch spot for me here.

It's not too heavy and it's not too creamy. It's a good balance. The chicken tenders are juicy but a little bit too greasy. The french fries fries are excellent. Definitely get the cornbread. That was probably the star of the Shiau.. The grilled chicken was really dry. The cabbage was OK. We had the chicken wings and again they were just OK. They're not breaded, which was really nice and the cook on them was OK with the flavor fell flat. The service is a little bit slow at times, but the servers are all really friendly. They should get five out of five for that. The pulled pork sandwich. I would pass Condiments. Ranch tasted watered down The bbq sauce was good

Even though it was 6:15 on a Saturday night, we were able to be sat right away. As soon as we walked in, someone greeted us and showed us to our table. Our server immediately got us waters and asked if we wanted anything else to drink (wife and I both got some delicious beers that they had on tap). We had our little one in tow with us and they were so accommodating to him! As soon as we were ready, our server took our order. We got: Chowder "frots" (fries and tots mixed in with some New England clam chowder, bacon, onions, cheese, and other goodies) 10/10, would definitely order again. My wife got the lobster roll with a side of clam chowder. Loaded with lobster, but you do pay the price. Labeled as market price, this was almost $40. Delicious, but not worth it in our opinion. 6.5/10. Pan roast (house specialty which came with shredded crab, shrimp, clams, and muscles). This, topped with rice, was heavenly. Better than any pan roast I've had. Came out ripping hot as it should. My wife was envious of my dish. 10/10 From the kids menu we also ordered the chicken Alfredo. My kid loved it, but my wife and I both had a bite and wow, we would've ordered that for ourselves it was so good. 10/10. We can't wait to come back just for the food. On top of that, however, service was above and beyond. The servers and everyone in the restaurant were so accommodating to us and our child and made us feel so, so welcome. We would come back even if the food was bad, solely for the service we received. Vibes we great, decoration on the walls look like they hired an artist to paint it. They had two TV's behind the bar / prep area that was showing NBA and PGA which I'll never complain about. All around 10/10 experience.

Po boy had nice crispy shrimp on a fresh roll. Comes with a side of fries. Pan roast was a nice creamy broth with shrimp mussels and crab. Comes with a side of rice. Mac and cheese was a pretty big portion for a kid, really cheesy and rich. Overall pretty good meal and surprisingly pretty affordable considering the cost of seafood. Service was attentive. Would recommend.

I stopped by Crimson Coward and decided to try the Smash Burger, and it did not disappoint--10/10!…read moreThe burger was cooked fresh to order with a perfectly crispy patty, melty cheese, flavorful grilled onions, and plenty of pickles. I'm an extra-pickles kind of person, so I was more than happy to add even more! The fries were hot and seasoned well. I personally prefer my fries on the saltier side, so I added a little extra salt, but that's just my preference. One thing that really stood out was the customer service. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and made the experience enjoyable from the moment I walked in. You can tell they take pride in serving fresh food, and the quality definitely shows. The restaurant was clean, the restrooms are available for customers only, and there was plenty of parking, which made the visit easy and convenient. They also had great music playing with a mix of throwback hits that added to the fun atmosphere. If you're craving a fresh, flavorful smash burger, this location is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

There were a couple of of people in front of us ordering & the restaurant itself was completely empty. After ordering, we were told it would be a 15 minute wait time. Not too bad, so we decide to wait inside to dine in the restaurant. It was a hot day and the ventilation inside the restaurant was not working well with the hot fryers going off. And we definitely felt the warmth in there. We also ordered some soda, which was just a soda machine with some lemonade dispensers on the side. The mango lemonade was horrendous and way out of balance. The "soda" was basically tasteless carbonation as if they forgot to refill the soda machine with the soda syrup. After 30 minutes, we noticed that they were fulfilling the big ticket online/delivery orders first. We were STILL the only people at the restaurant WITHOUT food. All of this would have been annoying but acceptable if the food was good. However, it was very unremarkable. The food was somehow salty but flavorless, despite the considerable amount of spice. The chicken was more oil than crunch. We ordered the crimson burrito, chicken and waffles, and half a dozen chicken wings. 2 stars because the crimson burrito was somewhat enjoyable and the sauce was good.
