    Disgustingly salty and over fried chicken strips. Had no reason to be on pickles from a can or lettuce etc
    Tanya T.

    Came here at around 2-3pm. Extremely salty and dry chicken and fries, the sauce and chicken strips was HORRIBLE (soooo salty and hot was an after thought) terrible (untrained) customer service, an overall waste of money. Save yourself the salt intake and your hard-earned money and get better food at the cafe. I seriously don't know who vetted these horrible food services to serve at the casino especially since its only been two going on three months. The most common visitors are elderly folks and this type of food quality would be dangerous or even futile for them! Hot Chicken needs to cease serving food.

    raw chicken drum still clucking.

    First time eating here. The breaded chicken wings sounded appetizing so i decided to order. Once the order came out, chicken came out very chewy and saltier than the ocean sea. I realized the chicken wasnt fully cooked and tossed them. Will not be coming bacock to this restaurant.

    Chicken sandwich with hot sauce

    Friendly cashier and delicious chicken, fries, and sauces! Had the chicken sandwich with hot sauce and chicken strips with honey sauce. Yummy!

We ordered with the cashier and then they brought out our food in about 15 mins. We got some sliders, tenders, and the tender salad. The chicken was good and juicy, and the signature sauce was also tasty. I also appreciated that they had the condiments and utensils out so we could grab what we needed without having to ask for it. Service was alright, nothing impressive but not terrible. Plenty of parking available since it's located in a plaza with different stores like Walmart. The restroom was clean but was out of toilet paper so we had to take it from the other restroom.

I was excited to see that Nash and Tenders expanded their locations to Elk Grove, but the quality was abysmal in comparison. Service was also ok. Not very friendly. Food took quite a while to come out -- the longest I've ever waited. I thought it would be a quick meal and we would get out of there quickly but was proven wrong. The seasoning on the chicken was minimal and not spread out evenly, even though I had gotten the hottest flavor (Call the Firefighters). It was not very hot. The chicken was also dry and the breading didn't feel the same either. The bread didn't taste very fresh either. The seasoning on the fries were also not spread out evenly. It was only on the top layer and the bottom half of the fries were unseasoned. The lemonade was not sour and tasted watered down. Really disappointing because I love Nash + Tender's lemonade. It always paired well with the food, but not this time. There was not really a good ambiance as well. The mood of the store was depressing. Lighting was bad and the place felt a little run down. I came here at night, for reference. Also, I had to wait five minutes in the front to request a togo container before someone came by even though two employees (chef and other worker) were directly across the way and saw me waiting. They were chatting away and didn't even bother to say they would be right there. The chef I understand not coming to help, but the other girl was just chatting with the chef, playing around with plastic bags and not even really doing anything. I had to wait for another worker to finish cleaning up in the back to come help me and give me a togo container. It seemed like that employee was the only one really doing anything around the restaurant. They definitely run a tighter management in Lodi and Stockton. The vibe was just completely different here. I quite honestly regretted getting my entire meal and hated my experience. I would not come back to this location. It does not compare to the original two locations at all.

    Yum! We had the japchae and tteokbokki with cucumber salad on the side…read more The japchae was a hearty yet light mix of glass noodles, red bell pepper, carrots, spinach, mushrooms, onions, scallions, Bulgogi with soy garlic sauce, and sesame seeds. We had a pleasant cucumber salad in place of kimchi this time. It was a refreshing mix of onions, scallions, and Korean red chili powder yet not spicy. It was great to balance the spicy tteokbokki! The delicious yet fiery tteokbokki had nice chewy rice cakes, flat fish cakes, and a couple of seaweed wrapped japchae bundles. The scallions, onions in hot pepper sauce, and melty mozzarella cheese were delightful Seating was nice and open and the simple wood tables and chairs were nice and felt homely too.

I guess people don't often order the classic (no sauce) chicken? Mozzarella stuffed Pork katsu sandwich - brioche bun was cold and not fluffy. It felt like it was stored in the fridge and not toasted long enough. There wasn't much pork on the katsu, mainly cheese. This place filled up quick during dinner and I had high hopes, but was really disappointed. Definitely ordered the wrong items lol and will try their standard piece chicken if I visit again. I would give 2 stars for food but the service was great. Our waitress explained the menus items well and was patient and friendly.

    Chicken King has some real potential. This Shell Gas Station used to sell Crispy Crunchy Chicken…read moreand I love me some CCC. So when I arrive and noticed that this other chicken was being sold, I just had to try it. I arrived around lunch time and ordered a 3-piece Chicken Combo for $7.99. I was told I could pick any three pieces, but limited to only one breast as a selection. I ordered a breast and two thighs and it came with a Honey Butter Biscuit. I took my order to go and found a nice shady spot to eat. Chicken only has a spicy chicken on their chicken sandwiches, so my order consisted of the only option of 'regular' or 'original' or non-spicy. I was amazed with the seasoning, it was salty, it was peppery and definitely had a hint of spiciness to it. And the CRUNCH, boy was this chicken crispy. I instantly became a fan of Chicken King. One week later, I felt like fried chicken again and decided to drive back over to Chicken King to satisfy my cravings. This chicken was for dinner and I ended up arriving about 4:30pm. There was a lot of chicken under them heat lamps and the guy behind the counter told me they had a new cook and he made a little too much for the lunch crowd. I asked how long that chicken was sitting under them lamps and he went to the back to look at the ledger and returned to tell me that some pieces have been there for two hours. Their policy/process is to throw out four hour old chicken. So, if I wanted any chicken, I had to take what they had. I deal get a deal on what I bought that day, but it wasn't worth it, as my wife couldn't eat the drumstick with a fork. It was too dry to pull the dark meat off of that chicken leg. I tried another drumstick to find it inedible. This was strike one. Just yesterday (one week later again), I wanted fried chicken and arrived at 1pm, during the lunch hours or what should have been their lunch hours. I ordered a 16 piece chicken only and received an assortment of two breasts, four thighs and the rest drums and wings. Once again, the drumsticks were terrible. Every other piece of chicken was hot and juicy with each bite. Not them drums though..... Like I said in the beginning, Chicken King has some real potential. It can't be easy to offer quality fried chicken at a gas station at all times of the day, but their process needs to be adjusted for overage and maybe just make the chicken 'made to order'. It may take longer, but those that buy your chicken will appreciate the special effort, quality and integrity of your fried chicken. I'll keep coming back during lunch hours, but I'll stay away from your drumsticks.

    I was blown away by the quality of the fried chicken here! We ordered a family meal to take for…read moreIftar at the masjid, and it was a huge hit. The seasoning was perfect. Even after the drive, the chicken stayed incredibly juicy and crispy. The staff was absolutely wonderful and made the pickup so easy.

Ordered the Country fried steak and Po Boy Chicken sandwich with upgraded sweet potato fries TO-GO. They did not tell us how long we could potentially be waiting... We waited 30 minutes to get our order. Cell reception sucks so you can't really play with your phone while waiting for your food which it made it more excruciating. Had to step outside. The worst part was when I got home. Sweet potatoes fries were super soggy so I had to air fry it. What's unforgivable was that on my Po boy, they gave me a tiny strip of burnt chicken!!! It was super dry too The tartar sauce on the sandwich was good so I give them that, and Country fried steak was decent... but when you mess up the one thing you should be good at and you make guest wait 30+ minutes for burnt food, that's something you can't overlook. We had the chance to try them when they were good but the quality has gone downhill while price has increased. I won't be coming back. Tip: call in advance to order or expect to wait a lifetime. Maybe ask if it would be faster to dine in? They close at 3pm too. Check your chicken before you go home. $16 for po boy not worth it. Don't upgrade to soggy sweet potatoes fries.

    Finding a great fish and chips spot such as Ocean Fish and Chips located in Elk Grove is a blessing…read moreas I am very selective in general!!! I have been a regular since I relocated here. It's a small place however there are plenty of tables and kept tidy. The staff are quick to clear up tables for other guests. Although there are posted signs for guests to help clear their own baskets and tables, not all guests are courteous and disciplined enough to do so (booo!!!). There's ample parking though it can get full especially during peak times. This spot has very good fried fish! And their fish and chips combo meals are reasonably priced. I usually order the 3 piece fish combo ($16.50) or 1 piece with 4 prawns ($14). Served with 2 containers of tartar sauce and additional is only $0.50 each. Vinegar is offered though you'd have to request for it. The staff are always courteous and very efficient. You are handed a table top number when you order and they will bring your order to your table when it's ready, for both dine-in or to go orders. Ocean is my go to spot for fish and chips so will definitely be back again very soon.

It had plenty of meat inside each one and was cooked perfectly. Overall would come again and eat at the place to try other things on the menu as well as have the fish and chips again.
