Don't come this place if you want to chicken wings Or some American food. They took my order wrong, charge me twice of Chicken Tenders. The food was terrible, Tots was saggy, wings had no flavor ( I order garlic lemon pepper ) tender is plan. Waste $22 here. They don't speak much English, they don't know how to cook. read more

Surprise middle eastern buffet. Food was delicious. Okra, eggplant, rice, flavorful chicken. Can't complain

We went to Sam's Grill House for lunch on Saturday. The location is right on a corner and easy to find with plenty of parking. The restaurant is clean and spacious, featuring some very interesting art on the walls. We ordered the beef/lamb plate and a chicken gyro. The plate was well-loaded with meat, rice, salad, pita, hummus, and tzatziki sauce. The gyro was packed with marinated chicken. The service was pretty fast; we ordered at the counter, and the gentleman who took our order was very helpful. We decided to substitute regular fries for tater tots, which was the best move! Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend Sam's Grill House for a satisfying meal. read more

I have not tried the Mediterranean food which I regret because the hot chicken is definitely not the best. Very small portions and not the best flavor. The tacos seem like the best deal over the sandwiches so if you do come in to try the chicken, maybe go that route. The inside is painted pretty cool so that's a plus but if you come here maybe try the Mediterranean food over the hot chicken. read more

This restaurant is sad. This restaurant has no air conditioning. I'm melting is all. It's like a sauna in here lol. The food isn't crazy good, but good. I had the chicken Gyro. The guy at th3 counter was nice but he's Greek and couldn't understand English very well. The restaurant has a funk to it though like the smell of cheap disinfectant cleaners. It kind of smells like grandmas house. Lol Oh did I say it's mighty warm in here. You'll never get cold in this place during the winter months. I'm sweating lol wow. If you're in a pinch and want something quick. The food is just ok nothing to get excited about too much. The chicken in my Gyro tasted very fresh and moist the flavors were there but nothing to jump over joy about. Just very average but good. The prices are good for what you get. I would come back here. This place needs air-conditioning is all. I recommend sitting outside. read more

Sam's Grill House - What I ordered. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

So good! Initially I was wary because hardly anyone was in there, and the restaurant interior is so low key casual, but my goodness is that good food. It's not fast, like fast food, because they're preparing everything fresh. But it's way faster than a sit down waiter restaurant. I had lamb shawarma and my son had chicken kebab. Both were beautifully spiced and tender and flavorful. Good portions too. read more

I ordered the chicken kabob plate it was Excellent and presentation of the meal was outstanding. Chicken was moist not over cooked humus and dill taziki sauce were excellent, he fried the pitas and they had a wonderful taste and texture. I highly recommend this new place. read more

Out with the old.. In with the new.. This was the case when owner Naz Muradyan has transformed his very popular Mediterranean-inspired "Armenian Grill House" into a hot new chicken restaurant simply known as "Inferno Chicken". And with the popularity of chicken restaurants thriving in this part of town (most notably "Raising Cane's" & "Angry Chickz"), why not give Citrus Heights even MORE of a variety of places to check out? Located in the heart of the Birdcage Marketplace shopping center, Inferno Chicken opened its doors in August 2021. Their location is within walking distance to Target and close to other major businesses such as Old Navy and a dental office. Parking is relatively easy as its best to park in the Target lot. I ended up coming here during the evening of Saturday 10/2/2021 at around 8:15pm and was craving a snack to satisfy my taste buds. The interior setup of this place is rather spacious is well lit. It has relatively the same seating as Armenian Grill had but with new chairs and a bright colorful mural that wraps alongside the main dining area that reads "Who You Callin' a Chicken". There is also plush black seating complete with modern floors and a self-serve fountain area. Since I didn't want anything too hearty, I went with their two tenders (for $5.99), a side order of fries (for $2.99), and a small drink. There are several different "heat" levels at this place (southern, honey BBQ, lemon pepper, buffalo, Asian fury, tickle, warming up, feel the heat, make me cry, & inferno) ranging from mildest to hottest. Since I wanted something with a little spice but not to a point where I'd be crying and reaching for a gallon of milk, I went with two tenders of the "Tickle" spice. Business was relatively slow but it still took about 15 minutes to receive my order. No big deal at all since they may have been understaffed. Overall, these chicken tenders offer very crispy breading with perfectly tender meat on the inside. It had the right amount of spice while it was a very generous amount of food for the money. I do have to say that the batter that was used to coat these tenders was well above average as this was a slam dunk in my book. It almost tasted as if I was back in Tennessee (where I was at the weekend before my visit to Inferno Chicken). The fries were also nice and crispy with a light dusting of seasoning on them. All in all, "Inferno Chicken" was a well above average restaurant and a place that I would highly recommend checking out if you're an avid fan of fried chicken. I also feel with the demographics and the love for chicken, this restaurant will be a better predecessor than the Armenian restaurant that it replaced. With that said and done, I am giving Inferno Chicken an above average four stars. read more

Inferno chicken is a great business that offers delicious chicken meals. I came here one night for dinner and decided to try the chicken bowl. It consisted of chopped chicken, rice, parsley and two different sauces. The sauces were delicious, but I wish more chicken was added to the plate. I also ordered the chicken wings that came with a side of veggie sticks. I really liked the wings. Staff was really friendly and helpful. They provided great recommendations to try. I will be coming back. read more

We decided to try this place out. My husband got a shawarma, I had the gyro, and our daughter had the cheese burger. My husband said that his shawarma was very good, loved the spice that it had, he said the spice was a nice surprise. My gyro was good but it was spicy for me. I had no idea that it would be as spicy as it was because every other Greek place we've eaten at never add some kind of spiciness to it. Seemed like they added a curry spice to it which I did not like. They seemed to add the same spice to my daughter's cheese burger and she did not like it. The fries however were amazing!! If we go again I might try something else or ask for no spiciness because my mouth was just on fire the whole time. read more

We've come here twice for Sam's gyros, shawarmas, and kabobs and are beyond pleased with the burst of flavors and spices in every bite. There is a small wait because Sam cooks everything himself, but that personal touch goes a long way. The restaurant and kitchen are kept clean, and everything off the grill smells so good. I hope to try his Inferno Chicken menu next time I'm in the mood for fried chicken. Authentic, fresh, and delicious every time. Thank you, Sam, for all the good food! read more

Stopped in on this new hot spot after doing some shopping at target. I love the convenient location, lots of parking too! I met the owner while I dinned there, he was extremely friendly and helpful. He even brought us out some fun new items to try! I haven't had service like that in awhile. The food was amazing! I loved the loaded tater tots and my kids went wild for the fried chicken sandwiches. I had coleslaw and some sausage as well. All in all a great new spot and we will for sure return! read more

Wow, I'm impressed!! My husband and I are huge hot chicken fans, and wanted to give this place a try. We doordashed rather than going to the restaurant and the food came still totally warm and fresh. We got the combo #3 with tater tots and a side of Mac n cheese. We got the "Feel The Heat" spice level. The heat level was perfection. Has a great amount of spice but wasn't overbearing at all. The taco was interesting and different than the normal chicken sandwich. The tater tots were crispy and delicious with their house sauce. The Mac n cheese was the only miss for me. It didn't have a lot of flavor and the noodles were so over cooked that it was like mush, however the portion size was huge for the cost, so maybe with a better batch, it would be worth if. Overall the cost was well worth it and it was also super affordable. Food tasted great and was fresh even with the drive to our house. We will definitely be back! read more

This place was almost empty on a Friday night, and it absolutely should not be. Food was delicious- i got a chicken kabob plate, my boyfriend got a burger and fries, and we shared some wings. The chicken was moist and well seasoned and came with a generous portion of rice, salad, and hummus. My boyfriend said his burger was one of the best he's had (and he eats a lot of burgers). The fries were crispy and well seasoned, and the wings were great. We got buffalo but will probably try the mango habanero next time. The service was great and fast. This place should be FULL on a Friday night!! read more

Good food. Veggie gyro with hummus, "smashed" falafel bits with veggies was served in a soft wrap with a side of tzatziki. HB had the #2 chicken taco combo with "feel the heat" spice level, which was just right. Fries were crispy. It was quiet on a Wednesday afternoon after a Target run. Food was delivered to our table. A lot of variety on the menu between the Inferno Chicken items and the "grill" options. read more

This is the place to try! Located in front of Target therefore parking or traffic can get a little hectic around 12-5pm but well worth trying this place! I came here after seeing their advertising banner popping up a couple months ago. Menu is somewhat simple and straight to the point. On my first try I went with buffalo flavor chicken tacos. The tacos were amazing and the chicken was packed with flavor and finished both in no time! Service was excellent and got to meet the owner Naz.... very nice guy. 5 Stars read more

Wow...what can I say. I have wanted to try this place for a very long time...I brought my daughter for lunch and boy was I glad. The place is clise to target...and is a small cute place. It was very clean. The worker was so wonderful. He gave recommendations and had me try a new sauce he was working on. I ordered the inferno tots...for 9.99 Mmm The tots were perfectly cooked...crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are topped with chicken coveted in the sauce of choice...I had Buffalo and their house sauce. They give you two tenders cut up and tossed on the top. These were very filling. I could not eat it all...absolutely wonderful..I would certainly order this again. My daughter ordered the Chicken sandwich combo 9.99 comes with fries or tots and a drink. She got spicy and loved it. It seemed as if they put a seasoning on it...she said she would definitely eat that again. It also has pickles and slaw...mmm If you love chicken sandwiches and loaded fries or tots...go try this place...its so so so so good...nom nomz... read more

First off I called in an order and gave my name for pick up. My name isn't common. I drove 15 min to pick up food exactly 25 min after ordering and the guys gave my order to someone else. Wtf. They said I had to wait thirty more min for them to make it again. What's the point in asking for my name if you're just gonna give my order to whoever walks in the door. I won't ever go there again. The first time I went, the guy gave me change five dollar short so count your money here and don't call in orders. No air conditioning and always empty. Food is decent. Better Kebab place down greenback. read more

Heard about this spot on Good day Sacramento and realized it was the same location as the old Armenian restaurant I used to go to and loved. I decided to check it out because I love supporting small business and was not disappointed. I was happy to find out it was the same owners as he is an amazing restaurant owner with great customer service. He goes above and beyond to make sure his customers are happy. I checked out the menu and decided to go with the sloppy fries and added chicken strips. Incredible and so delicious and the special sauce really kicked it up a notch. Will definitely go back again and hope they can stay afloat this time. read more

4.5 Overall! I want to come back and try it again. We've been wanting to try this place since it switched it's name. The inside is clean and decorated nicely! We liked the wall mural. We ordered at the counter with a very nice woman. She was very helpful and knowledgeable of the items they offered. Both of the people working were very polite and I would venture to say, they could be the owners. Your service alone and friendliness gives you *****. We got a 5 Wing Bone-In Combo, upgraded Jalapeno Fries and a Soda. I ordered this in the "Warming up" heat range. Wings were crispy and the fries were definitely an upgrade with the jalapenos and sauce! I would give this whole combo ***** My daughter got the Chicken Tender Sandwich, No slaw in the "Warming Up" heat range. Comes with a pickle and their secret sauce. She added a little extra secret sauce and she LOVED IT! ***** We ordered 2 Tenders in "Feel the Heat" and we FELT THE HEAT. It was a good amount of heat with flavor and my lips were burning afterwards. Juicy chicken strips with a great flavor and a good coating. The pickles were a great accompaniment . ***** We also ordered the Mac and Cheese, and to be honest, that's the only thing we didn't JUST LOVE. Man, we really wanted to love it, but it just wasn't as good as it could have been. It was a little salty, not cheesy enough and a little bit watery too. This part made me sad because I wanted it be SOOOO GOOD! Unfortunately, we can only give this part of our meal a * or ** stars. Sorry to the owner but we threw most of it away but ate every bit of the rest of our meals. Maybe it was just a bad day for that. We were there at approx. 11:45 a.m. today. read more

One word i can describe this new place "Amazing"!!! Inferno Chicken is located in the same location where Armenian Grill used to be right behind Ulta Beauty and walking distance to Target. The owner Naz is very nice and welcomed me as I walked in. Their menu is pretty straightforward and yet simple with 3 different combos and spiciness level right next to it. So basically they offer Chicken Tenders, Sandwiches, Tacos (that's a first) and sides of Mac & Cheese, Fries and Tots. There's a few more choices offered on the menu. I ordered a number two with a medium heat level and the sandwich was excellent! Fries had the perfect amount of spices. Definitely recommend them and I'll return very soon.

I love chicken, and there are so many chicken places to choose from. Inferno is somewhat newer; the place is charming, it is clean, and the staff is amicable and helpful. You get to choose a chicken sandwich or tacos, or I believe a salad, and then select the spice level you would like with the chicken. I ordered the tacos you get (2) worth it and the lemon pepper spice level, slightly below medium. However, it was very delicious flavorful, and the chicken was nice and crunchy in every bite. The sauce was spectacular, and you also can have a side of secret sauce for fries, tacos, or sandwiches. I also had a chicken sandwich combo fries and a drink, the sandwich was a bit small but very flavorful, and the chicken was perfectly crunchy throughout. read more

First time here, did not even know this was here until I noticed it during my Target excursion. Parking isn't the best but I'm really glad I found this shop! The shop may not be big but it is very clean and the mural inside was very fun to look at! There are areas for dining both indoors and outdoors. The employee was patient and kind, the owner was very friendly and welcoming! I ordered the combo #2 and combo #3. I did sub the fries out of one of the orders for the tater tots (which were yum)! The taco and sandwich are both filled with the same components, just different carb vehicle. Both orders were at the mild setting, tho my husband may need to try the medium next time (I prefer the mild). The heat comes from the dry rub that is used on the chicken. The rub has a slightly strong paprika and chili powder flavor in my personal opinion but still completely enjoyed my meal. The house sauce that is put into the sandwich/tacos goes so well with the coleslaw, and of course the pickles in the sandwich/tacos really completes the dish! Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back! read more
