I go often to El Pollo Loco's for a quick lunch, I like using their app to find deals and get my…read morefood quickly without waiting. I typically get chicken al carbon tacos, great deal and on corn tortillas a fairly healthier option vs typical fast food. This is the first El Pollo Loco I have been to that has no inside seating, there is only a drive thru or patio dining and bathrooms are outside in the back of this location. It seemed newer and it was clean and maintained well, the bathrooms were also very clean, which for being outside was a bit of a nice surprise. Although the concept is nice and I had no issues, I would prefer the option to dine inside or outside, so I am dropping the rating a bit here. The servers were OK, not too friendly, but then again I just grabbed my food and asked for one refill, could have been an off day. Either way, not a bad location, food is always quick and good and a good option when traveling in the area, I always recommend El Pollo Loco. Just know you will be outside only if that is a deal breaker for you by chance. Enjoy!

Had the chance to recently visit Dave's Hot Chicken in Santa Maria. I'd been to the San Luis Obispo…read morelocation previously but didn't get in a review...so here are some thoughts. Both restaurants were clean in appearance and prompt in their ordering counter customer service. Suggestions were made by Jolene (Cashier/Associate) regarding "the heat" levels one could select...and if you haven't been before, the edification should be welcomed. I ordered 2 Single Sliders (one "not hot" and one "medium"...both without pickles). Total for 2 Sliders w/tax $15.20. Okay so, the Sliders were yummy (5/5) but even though the Chicken hung over the bread/bun...they seemed to be on the smaller side. I don't know why (except I've order plenty of Chicken Sandwiches from other local eateries) but the Sliders weren't as satiating as a "meal" on their own. Perhaps I was expecting too much...after all, they are clearly labeled as "sliders" (not sandwiches) on the menu boards. With the tab being over $15 dollars, I also felt the Slider(s) a bit lacking in the "value" factor. No cutting it in half for a second meal...oh well. I'm not complaining though about the Sliders taste, they (at least my Medium) was delicious. So...will I revisit Dave's Hot Chicken, probably...I'll just order a Dave's #1,2,3 or 4 (Slider/Tenders with sides) instead. On this occasion, in this Yelper's opinion Dave's Hot Chicken in Santa Maria truly earned (cleanliness, customer service and quality of food) a definite "recommend" 4 Star review.

The service is lightning fast; it feels like as soon as we sit down, they're already calling our name with our order hot and ready. The aesthetics inside are awesome, with great music choices that make the vibe even better. The employees are always super friendly, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Honestly, it's the only fast food chicken restaurant I go to now, and for good reason.

My friends and I were visiting Santa Barbara for a few days and were trying to grab a quick…read morebreakfast/lunch before a flight. Luckily, Bruxie was open pretty early, so we stopped by. I ordered The Original Fried Chicken and Waffle sandwich since the waiter had recommended that was one of their most popular items and made it into a combo (side of tater tots and a soda). My friends ordered the fried chicken salad and the brioche breakfast sandwich. I thought the restaurant concept was cool and uniquely centered around anything fried chicken/waffles and thought it was fun the way the waffle sandwich was presented like a taco. That being said, I initially tried to eat it like a taco but everything quickly fell apart as the waffle wasn't connected at the bottom, so resorted to just eating it like a classic chicken and waffles dish with a fork and knife. I liked the coleslaw, the crispy/lightness of the waffle, and although the food initially looked like it'd be really heavy it surprisingly wasn't and I finished the sandwich pretty quickly. I think my main issue is that there could've been more flavor/moisture to the sandwich, particularly the chicken itself. I did really like the tater tots - they were perfectly crispy, lightly seasoned, and addicting, so it was the highlight of the meal. I also tried my sister's brioche breakfast sandwich and felt that there was nothing really special to it and found it to be lacking a bit in flavor / dry. Overall, I thought the sandwich/fried chicken could've been more juicy and flavorful e.g., by adding some sauce/marinade to the sandwiches/chicken and avoiding overcooking/frying the chicken.

If you've read any of my reviews to would know that I'm a sucker for hand-dipped chicken strips. I…read morehave literally been all over the country searching for the best hand-dipped strips. I downgrade restaurants that switch to frozen. With all of that said, the best hand-dipped chicken strips in the country at the moment are in SLO, CA at Jay Bird's Chicken. The young men working the counter were quick and seemed to enjoy their job. The cook in the back smiled as she carried out a tray of fresh chicken before she got to breading it. The setting in a small group of restaurants meant everyone was able to choose what they wanted - even if it wasn't chicken strips (everyone went with the strips!). It was a welcome break from seafood at Pismo. We'll be back if we're ever back through SLO.

I tried the regular chicken sandwich here and was blown away by the presentation and size of it! I…read morehonestly don't care for coleslaw, but took a chance and decided to keep it on my sandwich. So glad I did! It adds texture, crunch and neutralizes the hints of spice from the battered fried chicken. Speaking of the battered fried chicken. It was perfectly golden and seasoned. Not too salty or spicy, but just enough to make my tongue tingle. In a good way of course. I couldn't finish my sandwich because it was huge! Not complaining, but it doesn't take me much to get full either. Perfect size for those with bigger appetites. The crinkle fries were good, but overcooked, dry and cold. Wish they would have been warmer because I love crinkle fries. I also ordered the Arnold Palmer, which unfortunately was way too sweet for me. Aside from those two consthe chicken sandwich was the winner here and I would totally come back for it.

Like so many American dreams, Dave's Hot Chicken had humble beginnings. I liked how this restaurant was presented and the storytelling was great too. After my first bite of the fried chicken, I made up my mind. I will definitely keep coming back for this addictive, crispy, and flavorful chicken tender from Dave's Hot Chicken. One negative point is that my chicken and fries were a little bit cold as my personal preference is to eat food at a hot temperature. Napoleon's shake was unique as it conquered the three major ice cream flavors in one. It is compelling. You must have the lucky charm topping because it brings good luck. We got an extra free milkshake because the staff accidentally put the Oreo instead of the Lucky Charms.

The two meals came with so much fries that we eventually threw most of them away. It would be nice if Nate's could sell their sandwiches without fries. Nate's was a good choice for us to stop at.
