Saucy fries
Becca D.

Great place to get hot chicken. Quick and friendly service. Clean and open seating. Several people got goo to go while I was there eating in person. My favorite part is they use crinkle cut fries which were crisp and delicious. $12 for lunch, the prices are good especially these days. Definitely a great lunch option when nearby.

Got #4 meal n Nash + Tender Fries

The service was good.That I will recommend. I had such high hopes for this place since my co workers can't stop talking about it, yeah i know better now.The food nope I'm good. On the Nash and tender fries, I asked for the mac & cheese on the side the coleslaw on the side and pickles on the side that they did that was perfectly fine. Did this on purpose so I could taste the Mac and coleslaw well they had NO FLAVOR bland, coming home and having to add seasonings to it was not ok, sad when KFC has more flavor All and all WAY WAY over priced definitely will not be returning.

Hot Chicken Slider #1
Chanarith N.

Wait time was around 10-15 minutes, which wasn't bad. The employees seemed tired and uninterested though very monotone, no energy, and the chef in the back looked irritated every time someone ordered. And it wasn't even busy, it was just me my wife, and a few other people in line. We got the #1 combo (2 chicken strip sliders + fries) and added a mac and cheese for an extra $5. That part alone already felt pricey. The drink came with the combo, but it was served in a thin plastic cup that literally looked like something you could buy at Walmart. I know the food industry always upcharges drinks, but between the extra charge for the mac and cheese and the cheap cup presentation, it just didn't feel like we were getting our money's worth. First bite of the slider was pretty disappointing. I'd rate the sandwich itself a 2/5. The bun was soft but not toasted, the coleslaw had no flavor and tasted old, and the sauce was just drenched all over the bread. Also only one small chicken strip on the slider for the price they charge, that's not a good value. Fries were actually decent, but honestly they tasted like the frozen Walmart fries you just air fry at home. Mac & cheese was okay but had almost no seasoning, just tasted like melted cheese. The chicken tender wasn't crispy at all. Overall the food looked better than it tasted. I personally wouldn't come back. I'd rather go to Angry Chicken for better flavor and better value.

Pretty mid chicken. It was dry and I had to heavily rely on the sauce, which also wasn't that good. The servers were nice but I'm not sure why I tipped when I ordered because I got my own water, napkins, and everything else during my visit. The ambiance is relatively clean, but the lighting seemed kinda low. I'm not sure if it was just because it was rainy out, but it seemed like the lighting east sufficient, which gave a weird vibe.

Pros: The food is awesome!!! Good flavor and the portions are fair. At the Lodi location, the service is always good and always seems to be quiet, not a whole lot noise which makes for a relaxed ambiance. Cons: Prices and parking. I'm not a fan of their prices, I mean for chicken tenders??? The parking is also bad as I had to park almost 2 blocks away, this seems to be a thing with this business as the Stockton location is even worse, I parked over 3 blocks away!

Nash Tender Fries
Jessica S.

The establishment is clean however we got the tender fries and the nashirito. I was a little disappointed that I had to request ranch which I thought came with a side of ranch and I was shocked they charged me tax for it on top of that I asked for a few additional pickles and was told I also had to buy them. I was shocked honestly. The tender fries were actually very good however the burrito had very little chicken and was a majority of Mac and cheese. Unfortunately we will not be returning to spend almost 40.00 it was not worth it to us.

Chicken & Waffles medium hot  So good!
Dana C.

I really like Nash + Tender! We were going to get the chicken and waffle sandwich but opted to make our or little creations with the chicken and waffle plate (no slaw for us). Everything was perfectly cooked. The chicken portions were huge! The chicken was all white meat, unprocessed chicken breasts perfectly buttered and fried. The waffles were cooked perfectly. Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside with a little chew to them. They were so good. I ordered the medium heat and let me tell you, they pack some heat. Definitely hotter than a usual medium heat. Next time I'll order mild so my taste buds still function by the end. I added a little honey to my hot chicken and it cut the heat a little and was so good. Fast and friendly service, very clean restaurant and really good food. We will definitely be back.

We have been coming here regularly for years. We get take out from this location one or two times a month. Parking isn't the best for that and they have their issues. Sometimes we have gotten soggy fries or the tenders have more tendons than we like. We have tried pretty much everything on the menu and have been disappointed a few times when it wasn't specified that an item did not come with fries. Once, we even got fries that were not crinkle cut. But overall, they are consistently good. I have settled on a usual of tenders and fries, while my husband prefers the chicken tacos. Also, they have the best house sauce around. I always pay for extra so I can eat it on my chicken and my fries. The sauce is really what makes it. I wish they would bottle and sell it.

First time trying this place & it was pretty solid! I had the Nash fries & they did not disappoint. I just wish I would have ordered Hot (spice level) chicken instead, but the food was good, service was great, and it was a very calm ambiance. Would definitely go back!

December 13, 2025 - Approx. 6:25 PM…read more On the way back to Stockton from Jackson, was in the mood for Chinese food and Google Maps suggested this restaurant. SUMMARY: Good deal for take/out food in this era of high inflation. PROS: Was impressed with how fresh the vegetables were in my Beef w/Broccoli order. Plus a nice balance of flavors. Also, was surprised with the Yen Ching Fried Rice, as it was both filling & flavorful. Finally, the served portions equaled, if not exceeded, the charged prices. CONS: While I was waiting in the dining room for my orders, I was freezing. I don't think they even bothered to turn the heater on, or maybe it just wasn't working. But you can imagine that if you ate in the restaurant, your meal would go cold in a matter of minutes. It's a total shame, since the interior decor is rather nice. Also, while I enjoyed the aforementioned Yen Ching Fried Rice, I felt that the Yen Ching Chow Mein was not on the same level. While the flavors and ingredients were basically the same, I felt that the noodles chosen by the chefs were not top quality, especially taking into account that this is supposed to be one of their signature dishes. SUGGESTION TO MANAGEMENT: Sprinkle some fresh Sesame Seeds on the Dry Fried Chicken, and the dish will look visually appealing. And please turn on the heating in the restaurant during Winter. SUMMARY: If you want good Chinese food at reasonable prices, this place is definitely worth a try.

If I could get a zero I would. This is the second time that we've come in specifically on a…read moreWednesday for their country fried stake deal. This is the second time we're missing one of the sides like literally it's country fried steak, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw and a biscuit there's a spot for each item. How do you forget one of the items? Also, I order one of the boxes for my husband that comes with two different sauces. We literally got no sauces whatsoever no butter or honey for the biscuits. Nothing the box comes specific with two sauces and nothing. I did call the manager absolutely nothing that he could do for me over the phone, but I wanted to let them know that their employees are getting paid $20 an hour to mess orders up. So don't worry I also already did the survey and I'm gonna talk to corporate. I gave them a slide last week, but seriously your Wednesday crew is definitely lacking. And I know sometimes people might say that's not that big of a deal but it is a big deal. I can't just go back with my autistic child who is already having issues today and the main reason that we go is for their country fried steak deal and if I had the time I would've dug through the bag to make sure everything's there cause I definitely do that at McDonald's. I damn sure make sure I get my barbecue sauce for my kids nuggets before I pull away cause I've done that mistake once before. But when all three boxes are stuffed in a bag and I got him screaming in the background I don't really have time in the drive-through to do that. I just expect these people they get paid $20 an hour to not forget the items that are requirements for the items that are being ordered.

I somehow have the misconception that their food is inexpensive, but it always costs me more than I would have figured. And then there's what you get. I ordered a classic chicken burrito, but upgraded to chopped breast and extra cheese, because their stringy regular chicken is gross and usually in such small quantities that you barely notice it's there. And the extra cheese because, again, I actually want to experience its presence. This time they actually pulled it off to a reasonable degree. I could tell that there was chicken, and it was the right kind of chicken (I've tried this because and never actually gotten the chopped upgraded meat despite paying for it), and the cheese was a realistic amount. Of course EPL isn't in the business of giving you what you pay for as far as value is concerned. It was still a mostly rice burrito with a few beans. But the big disappointing was the taco I ordered. I upgraded the chicken, added cheese, and asked for no onions or cilantro. It came with what I ordered, and what I didn't want too. For $4 none the less. Remember that this is a $2.50 item anywhere else, and they couldn't get it right. So I had to throw it away because I can't eat it, and couldn't pick out the stuff I asked them to not include. So literally every time I come here I over pay and they get the order wrong. And they weren't busy. There was one other couple on the restaurant. I'd also like to point out that, although I didn't order any, their sides cost more than some of their menu items. Like in the $7 range for a side of steamed broccoli or mac n cheese. Highway robbery. Do yourself a favor and just go to a taco truck.

I was so excited to try it that I ate the egg roll in my car in the parking lot. It was really good! It was very big and had great flavor. There was also sauce to dip it in. It it was honestly so good I didn't even try the sauce. With an amuse bouche like that I closed up the bag and drove home excitedly anticipating how delicious the rest of the food was going to be. When I arrived home, I was very disappointed. The pork was literally what you get in the freezer aisle at the grocery store and the rice was excessively moist. The whole meal was bland and pretty gross to be honest. The takiyaki was so dry and even the mushroom were shriveled and dehydrated. Although I would not come here again for a meal, I would definitely consider stopping in for another egg roll or two if I wanted a nice snack so if you are thinking of stopping here, do yourself a favor and add an egg roll to your order.

I called the Lodi Wingstop to ask why, and the person who identified themselves as the manager told me that because they were so busy, they weren't accepting promo codes. We were told our options were to either wait an hour between placing our meals or drive to the Stockton location. What made the situation even worse was the manager's attitude. Instead of trying to help or offering any kind of solution, they were rude, dismissive, and acted like we were inconveniencing them just by asking a question. Customer service goes a long way, and this was one of the worst interactions I've had. If you're going to advertise online promotions, they should either be honored or clearly communicated as unavailable before customers place their orders not after. Very disappointing experience. To make matters worse, we ended up going into the store anyway to place my husband's order. Unfortunately, the poor customer service didn't stop there. The same rude attitude continued, not only toward me but toward several other customers while we were there. It was disappointing to watch people simply asking questions or trying to place orders be treated with such disrespect. Being busy is understandable but there's no excuse for treating customers poorly. A little kindness and professionalism go a long way, and sadly, that was completely lacking during our visit.
