    Fried chicken sandwich
    Danessa L.

    Fried chicken sandwich! Chicken is quite crispy. Asked for mild and seasoned chicken still had a lot of flavor. Interesting bowl combos on the menu w chicken on top of Mac n cheese and/or rice. There is a little bakery on the right of the counter with Dubai chocolate baked goods. Nice big TV screen inside too!

    Chicken and Mac

    Wow!!! The chicken and mac is everything! I got the hot chicken and it is so tasty with a great pairing of tasty fries, mac and cheese, and the sauce! I was curious to see if all the layers had flavor or if it would be bland. Not bland at all! Seasoning and love was put into this dish. I highly recommend trying this place out! I can't wait to try the chicken sandwich next time. Yum! Oh and huge portion too!

    This place was 1000 times better than Dave's chicken I ordered her honey tenders. They came out crispy spicy and juicy hot fresh right out the grease. The Service is always nice. The girl in the front always takes my order even though there's kiosk there to use. I will definitely be back right now they got a raffle going on so stop in so you can win that red BMW in the driveway.

    Excellent taste and quality! I was a bit shy to try them because I've tried similar chicken restaurants and their seasonings are always extra salty. I was pleasantly surprised to finally find a restaurant that seasons their chicken well and it's not salty! The cashier was also super friendly and sweet to us. I also want to mention that they serve "hand slaughtered" chicken upon request. Will definitely be back with our kids!

    Interior; kinda small

    Finally got to try Five Star Chicken and omg, it was surprisingly good!!! The interior is quite small, but very clean. There is a parking lot, which is convenient. You can order online for pick up, at the kiosk, or at the counter. We got a variety of things to try that day. We ordered: - Kick'n Chicken Sandwich (hot) - Chick'n and Slaw Rice Bowl (hot) - Mac N Chicken Loaded Fries (hot) - Captain Crunch Milk Shake There are three spice levels: regular, mild, hot. I couldn't taste the heat much on the bowl and the fries, but the Kick'n Chicken Sandwich had a "kick" to it! It was pretty hot; but not spicyyy. I actually liked that type of heat. The chicken sandwich was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor! The heat level was perfect for me and I enjoyed the balance of the slaw. I was unsure about the mac and cheese and fries combination; especially since it's fast food mac and cheese and the idea of eating noodles with fries seemed kinda weird. However, it wasn't that bad! I think that was my bf's favorite lol. Next time though, I'd opt for just the mac and cheese (you can opt out of the fries!). The chicken and slaw rice bowl wasn't too bad either, but I think the slaw was a bit sweet and the rice soaked up all of its jucies, making it soggy. The captain crunch shake tastes exactly like you're eating cereal; milk and all! This establishment is halal friendly and even offers to hand slaughter your chicken, upon request. I came in not expecting too much, being a non-chain restaurant, but left extremely satisfied! Love how local this is to me and a great addition to the community! Definitely will be back!

    We tried this place yesterday since it's a new spot in Richmond and I'm def a fan of Nashville chicken! The interior is small, clean and well lit. You have an option to order at the kiosk or the register and we opt for the kiosk. They have 3 spice level that is regular, mild and hot. I got the Mac n' Chicken with mild flavor I wasn't sure if the hot option would be too spicy for me but I wish I did because the mild did not have any kick whatsoever but other than that the flavor was there. The chicken was seasoned well, mac n cheese was okay and the fries was not crinkled as what they advertise on the menu other than that it was cooked well and crispy on the side. My BF got the Five Star Chicken combo with mild flavor and according to him his has a kick to it and the sandwich was flavorful and good size. You're able to customize your toppings for an extra charge and fountain drinks are $2.99 (doesn't come with the combo). Overall, this place is a much needed addition to Richmond's food palate. I'll try other options next time!

    Habanero Sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese
    Trisha T.

    My first time here and I was very indecisive.. I changed my order like 4 times and expected the waitress to get angry. She was so so patient and understanding, service off the bat 12/10. For food I ended up with the Habanero Chicken sandwich combo with mac, both were a solid 7. I would have preferred my sandwich to be less sauced, it got messy. My boyfriend got the garlic parm bowl, also a solid 7. This place is good but a bathroom would be nice or wet wipes to wipe your hands. Overall, not bad :)

    Finally got the chance to check out Five Star since they recently opened. I ordered the kick'n chicken sandwich (spicy), mac and cheese fries topped with chicken, and a Fruity Pebble milkshake. Everything was really good. Service was fast and smooth with little to no wait time maybe because it was sunday. They have a nice, clean seating area inside if you'd like to dine in.

    We ordered the regular sandwich and the hot honey chicken sandwich, and both were very good. The chicken was hot and crunchy, exactly what you want. The milkshakes were a fun bonus--I had the Fruity Pebbles milkshake, and it was a blast. Definitely a treat. Overall, a really solid experience, and I think we'll be back.

    Came here recently after driving by it the last few weeks and wondering what it had to offer. While it's located on the bustling San Pablo Ave., 5 Star has a parking lot for customers to park at without having to rely on street parking. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Combo (with fries) at the kiosk when I entered but was greeted by workers as well. They checked in on me while I was waiting for my to go order and made sure I got what I ordered. There were plenty of tables inside and a chic aesthetic to the interior design. When I got home, I was able to try the sandwich and found myself impressed with the quality of the chicken! Although I ordered the spiciest level they offered, it wasn't spicy for me (then again, that's a personal issue since I have a higher tolerance). Fries were ok, but the chicken sandwich was definitely the star here.

    5 Star Chicken absolutely lives up to the name. Service has been solid every time. I've been here three times, and the young lady at the front has always been super friendly and helpful -- which honestly makes the experience even better. This place is dangerous because it's way too close to my house. The chicken is just that good. Crispy, flavorful, and hits every time. I don't have much else to say other than: you need to try this spot ASAP. I'd order a milkshake too, but summer is around the corner -- I'll save that move for winter. 5 Star Chicken gets 5 stars. No debate.

    The food was good. The customer service was excellent and the ambience was superb. I can say from the 3 piece combo tenders. Mild is not for a beginner, because it got some kick to it. All in all, I'd go back.

    Pamela S.

    The chicken here is very tasty and well cooked. I definitely recommend a soda to cut the heaviness, but overall, I would come back again for the tenders. The sauces were all good, especially the ranch!! You have the option to dine in if you'd like and there is a small parking lot. Everyone was friendly and the food came out quick. Also, very well priced for the quality and quantity.

Seems like a ton of money for what I thought was a good backyard style burger but nothing fancy. I think backyard style is the best description of the flavor. A bit dry. Not super juicy. Some char flavor which some will like others will not. Service was friendly but a decade ago one wouldn't dream of tipping at a place like this. Fast food and tips? Huh. Anyway, my sweetie didn't finish her burger because she didn't like the taste. So that dropped it from a 3.5 to a solid 3. Good but not great.

They have a lot of interesting smash burger options, including a Trompo featuring Al Pastor. We got the Fat Boi, Trompo, and Highway Style fries. We waited longer than we expected, but good thing they have many monitors so we watched the World Cup while waiting for our food. When the food came, they were an impressive sight. The burgers were loaded and dripping with grease. My son liked his Fat Boi, but I thought the Al Pastor in the Trompo was a bit bland. The Trompo was also so greasy that grease was running down my hand and forearm while I am eating it, and I can feel my arteries hardening already! The Highway Style fries were decent. A smash patty laid between two layers of fries and then topped with melted cheese. It was decadent but a guilty pleasure. The kids gave the place 7-7.5 out of 10 and they said they would come back. For myself, probably not as the food was just too heavy for me.

What I don't understand is why I'm charged an additional $2.50 for the lettuce wrap when I'm not even getting the bun. If you're taking something away, what's the justification for adding an extra charge? I could understand a modest upcharge, but $2.50 for a few leaves of lettuce is hard to justify. I can buy an entire head of lettuce for about that price. What bothered me even more was that no one mentioned the charge when I placed my order. It wasn't until I picked up my food and saw the receipt that I realized I had been charged extra. Customers deserve to know about additional charges before they order, not after the fact. When I politely asked why there was a $2.50 charge, the employee simply looked at me and said, "I don't know." There was no explanation, no offer to ask someone else, and no attempt to address a perfectly reasonable question. That level of customer service was just as disappointing as the surprise charge. The burger was excellent, but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. At this point, I don't plan on coming back. Or maybe I'll just bring my own lettuce next time. Better yet, just give me the burger without the bun, and I'll wrap the damn thing myself when I get home.
