    Stopped by Mad Chicken and the food definitely lived up to the name--bold, crispy, and full of flavor. I ordered the chicken tenders and fries, and everything came out hot and fresh. The chicken had that perfect crunch on the outside and stayed juicy inside, with seasoning that actually stood out instead of tasting plain. The fries were golden and well-seasoned too, not soggy like at some fast-food spots. The restaurant had a clean, modern vibe, and the staff was friendly and quick with service. Overall, Mad Chicken is a great spot if you're craving crispy comfort food that hits every time.

    Decided to try Mad Chicken and was severely underwhelmed. Quite pricey for the quality of food. The chicken tenders were flattened so all I could really taste was the breading and the fries lacked seasoning big time. The sauce containers are pretty small and you'll be charged extra for additional sauce - but it's needed to make up for the overall lack of flavor. Also their garlic parmesan dipping sauce had a strong undertone of lemon and was a bit off putting.

    We got the Mad & Cheese bowl and Mad fries. Not sure how I feel about the meals... Mac and cheese flavor was kind of bland, and the chicken on top with sauce (mad sauce) just didn't really go together with it. The waffle fries were all soggy, sitting underneath the chicken. There was not that much sauce on it (got the mad chipotle flavor). Chicken itself was crispy and good though.

    Sandwich was large and tasty and the Mac & Cheese was tasty. Plenty of sauce options and side options including tater tots and jalapeño poppers.

    Update: about 4 hours later I had a big stomach issue after eating a salad from here. Avoid. As you may have seen by my tip on initial check-in on this restaurant, I noticed two issues right away. One was the touchpad, which was all sticky. The other was the bathroom, which smelled like someone had smoked in it. I notified the super nice counterperson who then Immediately worked to resolve both issues. After retrieving my salad on my way out the person from the back came out and thanked me for letting him know about the bathroom and he said it certainly wasn't anyone who worked there who did it. I think that was a nice gesture, and he was grateful that I brought it to his attention. As for the salad, it did come with cheese. The chicken was seasoned fairly well, but was a little overcooked and therefore dry and a bit rubbery. The salad was reasonably fresh, although there was a lot of iceberg lettuce and not that much in the way of other vegetables. I usually make my own salad dressing when I can, so I don't know if their dressing is good or not. I will probably try this location again, as I work nearby.

    Pretty cool spot. The chicken is breaded and seasoned perfectly. They have 12 sauces to choose from. The bbq sauce is somewhat yellow, but surprisingly good. I would definitely go back next time in area. Not ridiculously overpriced, but $10 for four tenders (not the meal) seems a bit heavy. The service is very friendly with a great attitude.

    Food was delicious and plentiful I enjoyed it…read more....................................... I ordered a plate

    I am so glad I came here again. I visited a Sunday evening. It was a bit crowded, but a sign said I…read morecould sit myself anywhere. So I sat in the bar. A bartender greeted me and gave me water. For my drink, I took the chocolate old fashioned (13 dollars). It was strong enough and chocolatly to enjoy. For my main plate, I chose the chicken wings (10 for 17 dollars), half fat rabbit sauce (quite garlicky) and other half siracha. While the wings were not breaded, they were still fried. It was definitely crispy, but still meaty and tender. The sauces were flavorful, and the siracha had the right amount of heat. The ranch dressing was homemade and so good, I ended up drinking it. There could have been more celery, but it was fresh and crispy. They only had one dessert, and unfortunately it wasn't homemade, so I passed. My bartender was friendly, but busy. She had a helper, but lots of patrons to serve. Yet, she was still very nice and helpful when needed. The vibe is social and casual. I would have thought they would have more USF students, but mostly locals who are enjoying a good atmosphere. Outdoor seating is available as well, and it looks like you can bring your pooch too. When it was time to check out and pay, I noticed they forgot to charge me for my drink. When I mentioned that, they told me not to worry about it. It was a very nice gesture from them. Parking here is easy as it is located in the Publix complex. There is also a Don Julio's and Bundt Cakes nearby for dessert too. The Fat Rabbit pub provides great casual bar food in a social atmosphere. The indoor dining is large enough to feel comfortable, and outdoor seating is also there if you want to enjoy with your dog. I am glad I chose this place again as it was near my hotel. Definitely coming back for more great bar food at reasonable prices. Overall: A

    This is a good place for lunch, if you can get a lunch deal…read more I ordered online for takeaway. Sadly, there were no lunch deals available with the online ordering system, so my meal was less of a bargain. I ordered a strawberry matcha tea with brown sugar boba and karaage with lo mein. As I was driving over, I received a call from the restaurant informing me that since they just opened that morning, the boba would not be ready for an hour, so I could either wait or switch to popping boba (I chose the latter). Also, the karaage is no longer on the menu, so could they switch to whole wings? Fine. The food was ready when I arrived. It was packaged in styrofoam, and the corners were NOT punched out, so by the time I got home, the chicken was no longer crispy. (Thankfully, I did sample a wing in the parking lot before I drove home, so I can say that the wings are crispy and delicious if eaten immediately.) I had ordered medium spice, and it was spicy! And I like spice! If you are not spice tolerant, go with mild or no spice. My lips are still feeling hot. I thought the food was good, not life changing. Pretty typical Americanized Chinese food plus wings. My matcha tea was on the sweet side and with not a lot of matcha flavor. I wish I could have requested a lower level of sweetness on the online ordering site.

    I've been coming here regularly for about a year and a half now, and everything I've had has been…read moreso good. Their fried chicken is the best I've ever had, and the spice levels are actually legit. But my favorite thing on the menu is the peri peri chicken. The peri peri chicken is CRAZY good. It's a South African-style grilled chicken served with fries, and I always get the corn ribs on the side too. The chicken sits on top of a tortilla, which I use to soak up all the juices and eat with the chicken. Even though it's grilled, it's unbelievably moist every single time. It's packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and ridiculously juicy. I seriously cannot get enough of it, and I HIGHLY recommend everyone try it. If it's not the best grilled chicken in Tampa, it's definitely one of the best. And don't skip the sauces. The ranch, blue cheese, and garlic sauce are my favorites, but the peri sauce is delicious too!

    We tried this place today and are extremely disappointed with the service, the food, and the…read moreatmosphere. We tried this place about a year ago, and we had a completely different experience than before. I can honestly say, I won't be back. Not ever. Not even a chance. This place is filthy. The floors, the tables, the bathrooms (the worst I have ever seen), and even the napkin holders. I had immediate regrets upon stepping in based on the lack of cleanliness. The amount of flies swarming was alarming. The service was a zero. The girl working watched us order at the kiosk, the kiosk wouldn't let us pay, we tell her, and she says "oh it doesn't work." So we ordered with her even though she sat around watching us waste our time. I ordered a wing meal, told her I wanted the wings injected, and she said "we don't inject them. I will give you sauce on the side." The menu clearly says they inject wings, social media videos always show it, and also, my last visit there was also injected wings but she would give me no explanation other than "I will give you the sauce on the side." It was bizarre and I couldn't even get a "we don't do that anymore" from her. We ordered a chicken sando. The quality was horrible. Chicken tasted overly processed with bad texture. We also ordered a wing combo. The wings were flavorless. Absolutely flavorless. I ordered medium and there was zero spice. Not even a tad. Apparently they don't inject their wings anymore so there was no flavor in the wings. The quality was pretty bad. Also, the "sauce on the side" that the girl working promised me was not the sauce I ordered, it was the sauce she chose. The whole ordering experience was odd. Definitely seemed like someone who did not care about providing good service, good food, or a sanitary environment. We waited about 25 minutes for our food. About 3 people came in to get pickup orders while we waited and no one else. So we sat and waited while the flys swarmed our heads. The cashier never once tried to come out and clean the filthy tables. She even paused doing nothing for a restroom break, used the filthy restroom, came out with WET hands, and grabbed a napkin from the dusty napkin holder on the filthy table to dry her hands. Then still never wiped down the table caked with food debris. Absolute terrible level of cleanliness, care, and service. It ruined my appetite. After waiting that long, the Mac n cheese was ice cold. 25 minutes for Mac n cheese with a chill to it and no heat. I'm convinced they pulled it out of the refrigerator and forgot to heat it up. This place just had too many misses: a lack of quality, a lack of good service, and a lack of any sanitation standards. Never again. We didn't finish our food. We threw it away outside.
