I finally got a chance to go downtown and order a chicken sandwich from Scratch. I've seen people posting about it the beginning of quarantine, but have not been able to try it until now. I am a chicken sandwich lover - and I was very pleased with the results! It was crispy on the outside and perfectly juicy on the inside. Spicy and had enough sauce and veggies to balance out a crunchy cool bite together. You have to go to Original Gravity to put your order in, which is perfect because you can get drinks to go as well! Best combo ever! read more

I usually switch off between their chicken salad and their loaded fries, opting for classic or level 0 (I am a weenie about spice). Two tips: 1. If you get the chicken salad, ask for the salad on the side otherwise the salad wilts. 2. Honey over the chicken is *chefs kiss* The turn around time to get your order is quick, very efficient (Not including rush hour). If you opt to eat outside, they have chairs, tables and a canopy set up for your convenience. read more

Tried the chicken tenders and fries at Morgan Hill freedom fest. The breading was delicious! And the fries were top notch. Also tried another similar food truck at the same event and this one blew it away. Will definitely be eating at Scratch again. read more

I wanted to love this Nash Hot Sammy... but they use a spice that's found in Chinese 5 Spice that ruined it for me. The fries were good. The chicken itself was tender and juicy... just super bummed about that certain slice cuz it doesn't need it! read more

Amazing food and the service was unmatched! Restaurant also had a great vibe and very inviting. Definitely check them out.

If you're looking for HEAT! Look no further! Being a spice connoisseur I just had to stop by Scratch Cookery! Very easy to find establishment and the staff was friendly. I ordered the (3) pc tenders with fries #7 heat level - to go. They made sure to pack extra ranch and pickles "in case I couldn't handle the heat". Lol. Sike. The tenders definitely brought the HEAT! It was a nice slow burn that stings the tongue. It lost stars on the lack of flavor. I felt like I was just eating a hot box. lol. The signature sauce had no taste. I tried it before trying the tenders and It was just a bland cream sauce. No burst of flavor and it didn't pair well with the tenders or fries. The fries however were decent and still crispy by the time I got to my destination. read more

Scratch Cookery - #7 Heat Level! - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

This place is very hard to find if you are driving in San Jose downtown. I loved the hot chicken sandwich very juicy and lot of chicken, they might have stuffed atleast 3 chicken tenders and the best part is toasted brioche bun. I liked the sandwich but I did not like the chicken tenders, they are over cooked and not enough spicy for level 5. I would recommend Dave's chicken is better. The ambiance is not that great, the tables are not clean, they dont sell a dessert to compliment with the hot chicken. read more

Scratch Cookery - Chicken sandwich with grilled cheese bread. - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

Picture it:Father's Day 2024. The dad in our life really wanted a delicious chicken sandwich with a drive. So we drove to downtown SJ from Santa Cruz County. Us and our teen. #1Dad ordered the Nashville Hot level 2 spice and deemed it delicious and just hot enough. I had the original chicken sandwich and it was delicious,crispy and tender. Super flavorful. Our teen ordered the grilled cheese(no idea why) and deemed it pretty good. Takeaways: My fries were 5 #1dads fries were piping hot and delicious. We asked for a side of sauce and mayo, and they wanted to charge for both! The sauce I can understand, however the additional charge was not located anywhere on the menu. And charging for mayo? Seriously??? Also, since they have hot chicken sandwich, they didn't give water out,you had to buy it for 3 bucks,and there wasn't a bathroom. Small things that add up. Who knows, we may be back as really those chicken sandwiches were delicious, but not so thoughtful for guests. read more

I used to be a big fan of Scratch when they had their truck and would do pop ups at breweries, however they really fell off. They used to offer quality cuts of meat, juicy, and tender. The last couple of times I chose Scratch for dinner I have gotten tough, dry, and chewy pieces of meat. Our last experience left my fiance and I with a bad stomach ache and feeling of just a blocked gut. The food leaves a heavy feeling of just grease and breading. I ordered the nugs and fries, 0 spice level, he ordered the texas toast sandwich with fries, level 2. I was surprised to open the box and see half of it was full of chicken nuggets(tender bites), until I realized each nug was majority greasy breading covering dry chicken pieces. The sandwich had a similar issue with overbreading. The fries were bland. I have been a fan of Scratch for years, when their sandwiches were hot and spicy, with breading that almost slipped off because of the chili oil and juiciness of the chicken. Those days are gone and the quality is gone downhill. The location is not an ideal spot for a quick bite, and they do not offer a lot of indoor seating. read more

Just enjoyed a very spicy lunch with my very spicy man!! If you are sleeping on this place, please let this be your wake up call! Delicious beyond our expectations...every time! Good thing we don't live closer! read more

I ordered a classic chicken sandwich and an order of chicken tenders and SURPRISE, I ended up getting two orders of chicken tenders. I ordered takeout so didn't check before heading home. Lesson learned. I still give this place a good rating because the fried chicken was good. Crispy while not drying out the chicken. One chicken tender with the side of fries was already quite filling for me, so two is a hearty amount if you're debating between two and there. The french fries are unique because I've never seen chips in that particular shape. IMO, it has a nice balance of potato wedge and potato chip. I'm bummed I didn't get to try the chicken sandwich, and hope to in the future. read more

Great flavor, large portions but understand that the spice level seems to be on a log scale here and us whimps had trouble with level 3. I honestly think we spent more on water than food to feed 2 kids and 2 adults. My youngest has zero tolerance for spice but loved the no spice so much he wanted to go back the next day. My oldest and I liked the spice level 3 but I think I would take it down a notch next time unless ordering the sandwich. Altogether a great place. Recommend bringing your own water and lots of it read more

We finally got to try their Nashville Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich! I kept seeing photos of their uber popular fried chicken sandwich all over social media. Follow their IG account to get updates and place your online orders. To order, I went on their IG page and clicked on "eat.chat/scratchsj" in their bio. (TBH, it's a little confusing because you're "chatting" with a bot, i.e. all the responses are automated.) We monitored our place in line via their chat app. We started heading out to pick up our sandwiches once we got a text saying that they were preparing our order. We were #10 in line at that point. Scratch is located in Downtown SJ inside Paper Planes. If you've been to Paper Planes or on that street, then you know there is absolutely no street parking whatsoever. So we did as we saw, a bunch of cars parking alongside the sidewalk in the Bus Only Zone with hazard lights on. We were #2 in line at that point and the text said to not come up to get the order until we were notified that our order was ready. Once we got that text, my fiancé walked over to get in line, there was only 2 people before him. It took another 5-6minutes for our order to be ready once it was his turn. A girl brought out our order and we were good to go! We ordered... NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN LEVEL 3 $13 -cayenne + thai chili. Buttermilk fried chicken breast dipped in hot oil, topped with tangy slaw, comeback sauce, and pickles on brioche bun. 2 NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN LEVEL 4 $13/each -thai chili + habanero. Buttermilk fried chicken breast dipped in hot oil, topped with tangy slaw, comeback sauce, and pickles on brioche bun. Their spicy level ranges from 0-7, from black pepper & paprika to habanero, ghost pepper, scorpion & carolina reapers -OH WEEE!! You also have the option of no slaw/sauce/pickles or adding extra comeback sauce/pickles and fries. At first I thought the price was slightly steep but once we got our sandwiches..OH EM GEE.. they were big! The chicken breast was thick too. It wasn't juicy but not dry either. Good amount of tangy slaw and pickles, they weren't falling out everywhere or made our buns disintegrate. The buns were soft with a touch of sweetness. It was overall a good combo! Very filling. I love spicy food so a Level 4 was just a good kick for me. Hot enough for some spice but still edible where I can taste all the ingredients. I would order again, probably try the next level up, Level 5! I love spicy food and wanna see how much I can handle. :) read more

During this COVID-19 era, Scratch Cookery is operating out of Paper Plane in DTSJ. You'll need to create an account online in order to place your order, and you'll receive a text/email once your food is ready to pick up. I wasn't given an estimated pick-up time, but my order was ready in 20 minutes. Available menu as of 8/16/20: 1. Classic Chicken Sandwich ($13) 2. Nashville HOT Chicken Sandwich ($13) 3. A side order of fries ($3) Once you pick up your food, you can also add a lemonade to your order. I tried both the guava lemonade and the mango lemonade. They were delicious, but pricey at $8 each. The bottles are larger than they appear in photos though, and they also sell lemonade with alcohol mixed in for $18. BE WARNED THAT THE NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN SANDWICH IS EXTREMELY SPICY! My husband loves spicy food and got a level 3/7 and couldn't handle it haha. That being said, it was still worth the hype and the sandwich is huge! The chicken was crispy and juicy, but it did get messy and soggy towards the middle (most likely since it sat there for a while before I picked it up, drove home and actually ate it). Will I be back? Absolutely! I'm definitely excited to check out their full menu straight from the food truck. Maybe then I might decide to bump up my rating :) read more

Scratch Cookery - Nashville hot chicken sandwich (level 2) - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

See all

Scratch Cookery is one of favorite Chicken places my friends love to go to. I had them once while they were only a food truck and twice after they open a restaurant location in downtown San Jose. Personally, I think the food truck and restaurant shop location had the same quality of food. I'll mainly speak of the restaurant location. Parking wise, you will be dealing with downtown San Jose. For me, unless I'm going with a group, it usually isn't worth it for me to drive to this side of town and find parking. Fortunately, there are several large lots nearby and a few offer free parking over the weekend or after certain times. This location is also always packed. Expect at least a 15 minute wait time even after ordering your food. There are not much seating if you plan on eating here. You will need to stake out a spot or wait as others finish and leave. Ordering is like your standard fast food joint. Stand in line, order from the front, and wait for your name/number to be called. If you are outside waiting, they will bring it out to you. There are 7 spicy level with the 1 being pretty spicy already. Most of my friends has a pretty good spice tolerance and settle around 2-3 to not have a bad time later ;). I usually settle around 3-4. Any higher and I know I'll just regret it later. I have tried their chicken sandwich, grilled cheese chicken sandwich, and tenders. They have potato twist fries which complement the spices really well. I enjoyed the sandwiches. You get a meaty chicken piece. The issue I always run into is the ability to eat the sandwich in time before the bun/sandwich pieces become soggy from the coleslaw or juices. For this reason, I highly recommend the chicken tenders as you can eat at your own pace, easily cut it with a knife, and avoid the mess. The only warning I have is that depending on the day, a given spice level may be plus or minus 1 level you ordered at. Be ready for this variation. That is, if you ordered a 2, it may be a 1 or 3. If you are looking for Nashville Hot Chicken-style sandwich, look no further. read more

This chicken sandwich beat my expectations! Very tender and flavorful chicken, tangy coleslaw, and a soft brioche bun? You can't go wrong. I'm not one to take spice, so I got a Level 0. The sandwich was HUGE and took me awhile to finish it. I came by the Paper Plane to pick up the sandwiches and there was a little crowd around the shop. Many were curious about the sandwiches, but the only way to order is online for pre-order! I ordered on my phone around 11:30 am and my sandwiches were done by 12:30. It was perfect for a picnic! They have a variety of lemonades that are great to bring home too. read more

Scratch Cookery - Nashville Chicken Sandwiches - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

Best Nashville hot chicken spot in the south bay. The chicken is always pretty tender and moist. The spice difference between levels 3 and 4 is insane. Level 3 has thai chilis and cayenne and it gives a flavorful kick. But level 4 with habaneros and thai chilis make it almost a challenge to eat, but still so painfully good. If you order a sandwich alone it doesn't come with fries. But the fries aren't too memorable. The way they're cut and how they are stored for take-out means they won't stay crispy for long. Come for the chicken, it's worth it here. read more

Scratch Cookery - Chicken tenders - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

One of the best fried chicken sandwiches in the area. Heads up: the menu is a bit misleading (to their detriment) on pricing. At first glance, it looks like a sandwich is $20, but that actually includes a side. A single sandwich will set you back about $14-15, which is relatively average for food in the area, but the quality is definitely above average. The batter was perfectly crunchy, giving way to a surprisingly tender and sizeably thicc chunk of meat. I started off with level 1 spice just to get a baseline and found that the seasoning was a milder version of Louisiana rub from wingstop (IYKYK). The seasoning was absolutely perfect - no flavorless or overly salty spots. One word describes the chicken sandwich: consistent. Consistently crunchy, flavorful, and satisfying with each bite. read more

[More like 3.5-Stars: good, but not enough to make me crave their food] I have PTSD from the paqui one chip challenge (weak tummy), so I wanted to be safe and ordered a level 3. I prefer to enjoy a good crispy chicken sandwich that has a good kick of spice than to challenge my tummy just for the sake of it. My bf got a level 7 since he survived the chip challenge. We also got fries to help us balance out the spice (just in case). Portion: 5 stars - the chicken & overall size of the sandwiches were huge. I almost didn't finish mine. Spice & Taste: Level 3 was okay & I could've probably handle level 4 easily. I didn't like the combination of the cayenne and Thai chili tho. It was spicy, but not really flavorful. I've had better spicy chicken elsewhere. Level 7, according to my bf, tasted amazing until the last four bites...that's when the suffering begins. I took one bite and it tasted pretty good, but I definitely wouldn't want anymore consecutive bites. He said level 7 was way worse than the one chip challenge. Texture: Slightly more soggy on the bottom half of the sandwich since we drove for ~30min before eating. Will prob go back someday to try it fresh. Fries: They look interesting. Slightly too salty. I'd prob skip it next time. Worth trying if you are in the area, but not if it's the sole purpose of going to downtown read more

I really wanted to like this place after seeing all the hype on Instagram and the consistently long queues. I finally ended up deciding to try this place out today for a late lunch. I placed an order at around 1:30 pm and got the text to pick up about an hour later. I even whipped out my camera and took a nice pic because I was so excited for this. I ordered two sandwiches and two fries. Their spice level goes from 0-7, I went with levels 2 and 3 to be safe. I like how they explicitly list out the different kinds of peppers used in the spice blends. Great way to gauge how the spice will taste (cayenne, habanero, thai chili, etc). I love snacking on fries on the car ride back. Unfortunately, these were probably the worst fries I've ever had in my life. Bone-dry, cold, powdery, no indication that they've been fried, and definitely not worth $3.00. I wouldn't even get them again if they were free. However, this is a chicken sandwich place so fries aren't the focus here. No stars are being removed for the fries. Their lemonades and spiked lemonades aren't offered on the online menu, but that's probably because it's by Paper Plane. I actually liked the Passionfruit Lemonade. It was strong and refreshing, but at $19, I wouldn't get it again unless it came with some fresh herbs or fruit infused. Again, no stars added/removed for this. Onto the actual sandwich. I really liked the heat level at 3 (cayenne +thai chili). There is a significant jump from 2 (cayenne both sides) to 3. 2 was too mild, 3 was palatable and enjoyable. The brioche bun was fine; sweet, thick, shiny, but would've liked it toasted. The slaw was more sour than tangy. I love coleslaw and am usually pretty lenient on it, but this was a no-go. Needs to be more creamy or maybe dressed with their comeback sauce to give it more depth. The chicken itself was well-breaded, but definitely not remotely crispy. Breading aside, the chicken itself was not flavorful. When you're working with chicken breast, I would highly recommend an overnight brine to deliver more flavor. Otherwise, use dark meat for juicier chicken. Pickles weren't crunchy, and didn't add much to the sandwich because of how sour the slaw already was. I had an urge to just dump ranch on this to try and save the sandwich but resisted. It really is just missing a saucy component. At a $13 price point, I expected a lot more love and care into the making of this sandwich. I would gladly trade these in for two Popeyes chicken sandwiches and be much happier with the outcome. I really hope I just had a bad order or something, because if not, I don't understand the hype behind this place. Obvious technical flaws that could easily be fixed with enough attention. 3/5 overall for the chicken sandwich. Most likely would not buy again. read more

Scratch Cookery - Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich ($13), Fries ($3), Thug Passionfruit Spiked Lemonade ($19) - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

Brutally spicy without sauce for spice levels 4+, and still pretty spicy for level 3. I would recommend someone who doesn't want a struggle to order level 0, 1 or 2. It is also served piping hot, so there is another struggle. But this chicken is to die for, it is so flavorful, with both dry spice and sauce on it. It is perfectly tender too, and this seal keeps it warm for extended periods of time. The thick and FLAT cut are also just fantastic, I prefer them over regular fries and much over crinkle cut fries. The mayo sauce is cooling and delicious. The prices are pretty fair, I think you can get a good meal out of splitting a 4 pc tenders + fries with another person, or carrying it home for later. They do not give free water, so to anyone making plans to go here, plz bring your own water or dairy drink and save $$. read more

I've ordered at Scratch 4 times already and I love their sandwiches! I ordered a level 4 each time and it was perfect for my taste. I like the online ordering process, but I wish it showed accurate wait times. The waiting line number we get isn't a good indicator of when our sandwich will be ready. I like how I get a text when it is about to get prepared, but it'd be nice to have a more accurate time before it is about to get prepared. The sandwich itself is one of the best hot chickens I've had. Here's some perspective for those who never had a hot chicken sandwich: I see this as a Popeyes Spicy Chicken Sandwich on crack. Everything is bigger and better. The quality of the ingredients is higher and the chicken is way bigger. For you SoCal folks, this sandwich is almost at the level of Howlin Ray. In terms of the seasoning, sauce, bun, and batter - it is not the same, but it is as good as Howlin Rays in its own way. Where Scratch falls short is in the chicken itself. It definitely is not as juicy and moist as Howlin Rays. The brine could also be stronger. All 4 times I've eaten here, the chicken was not nearly as juicy. I know restaurants need to cook the chicken to 165, but I recommend pulling the chicken out at 158/160 and the residual heat will bring it to safety standards. Other than that, the customer service is friendly and the spiked lemonade is good! read more

Even in sf a fried spicy chicken sando and fried isn't 23 bucks. 3.5 stars for the food. It's as a good as any other chicken sandwich.

Our friend recommended this place for a good fried chicken sandwich, We came here to their storefront. I think they used to be a food truck and maybe even part of a couple bars in Downtown SJ. The menu looks simple but there are a lot of options. I ended up getting one Nashville chicken sandwich, a classic chicken sandwich, fries and a soda. Even though the menu look like they have numbered combos - it's not a combo at all. I asked for a #1 and they still asked me if I wanted fries. I also had to order a drink/soda separately. And there's no discount to getting a "combo" - everything costs the same as if you got it separately. I did it wrong and got 0 spice level for the Nashville hot chicken and it was basically the same as the classic chicken sandwich and the Nashville sandwich costs more so I kinda paid more for just a regular chicken sandwich. One of my other friends tried spice level 5 and said it was perfect for him. I cannot even imagine, haha. Anyways, it's a solid sandwich - chicken was crispy and filled with shredded lettuce and pickles. The bun was slightly burned on both of the burgers I ordered, so that was disappointing. A little spice might've helped too. The fries are spiral cut steak fries - style. I liked them - maybe they could've been a little crispier. Our two sandwiches, one drink and one fry order cost us $40+. Not too much seating inside. A few tables outside as well, which was good because we had our pup with us. We parked in the garage a block over that had the first hour and half for free. read more

Scratch Cookery - Classic fried chicken sandwich - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

nice little spot in downtown sj! just randomly decided to come here craving a chicken sandwich. They have outdoor seating and some space indoor as well. I like that they offer different spice levels for the fried chicken. We got one original and the Thai chili. Which was level 3. If you like spicy recommend getting a higher level than 3. Their seasoned fries are really good! I liked that the chicken was so juicy while still having a crunchy outside. And service was good and the food came out pretty quick. I don't think the price was right, but I know everything has to be higher priced right now. Overall, definitely a spot to checkout for a chicken sandwich! read more

Scratch Cookery - Nashville grilled cheese chicken sando, fries (so light, crispy, flakey) and original pattern rice lager - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

This spot is hiding in a little pedestrian alley in downtown San Jose. When I went, they were out of tenders and wings....and wings are my go-to for "testing" hot chicken out. So I was kinda bummed. But they were making sandos and the grilled cheese version just sounded like too much fun to pass up. I got level 4 spice and it was HOT. Like...very hot. The flavor of the heat was good, though. Definitely some Thai spices in there. My only gripe is here that it does not taste like Nashville hot chicken- it's just a (VERY) spicy chicken sandwich. And that's totally fine. I love spicy chicken. But I kind of had my heart set on that Nashville flavor and the menu names it that. But this is pretty common. Pros: Huge piece of chicken. Juicy inside, crispy batter outside. That griddled bread and griddled cheese is deadly delicious and balances out the heat from the chicken. Also, super kind staff. Will definitely be back to try some wings...might tone it down to level 3 next time just to taste test the difference. read more

It is absolutely unhinged how big and delicious these chicken sandwiches are. We tried the grilled cheese chicken sandwich and the original. Scott got level 3 and I got level 1. Both were perfect amount of spice for us. Wasn't impressed with the fries. Unseasoned, cold, weird shape. Almost feels forced like they're trying to be "different" with the fries, but whatever. I prefer classic fries. The chicken sandwich completely overshadowed what the fries lacked though. Definitely top tier chicken sandwich joint, maybe even the best in SJ. read more

My friend recommended me this place when it's finally have a store in downtown SJ. We went there for lunch on a Thursday but the store was not busy. I got a level 4 Nashville Chicken sandwiches and it was huge!! Chicken was spicy, moist but cruncy, and seasoned perfectly. The wait time was only about 10 minutes. I couldn't finish my sandwiches and have to ask for a togo box. I didn't know that I could ask them to cut my sandwiches in half when served. I shouldve asked them next time I come by. read more

This place made me speechless - everything is SO DELICIOUS! I was getting a ton of ads from this place all over my social media so I decided why not and try it. I am so thrilled to say that I have found a go-to for nashville hot sandos!! The chicken is freaking tender, I don't know how they do it but it's juicy and tender and oh so flavorful! If you're thinking of coming here - DEFINITELY DO!! My boyfriend got the Level 0 Nashville hot sando and devoured it in under 10 min so that should tell you it was super good! Beware spicy food lovers!! I don't find Samyang 2x noodles to be spicy, but the Level 5 of the Nashville sandwich had me chugging ice water like it was a hot summer day. The heat did not take away any of the flavor from the sando though. The slaw is soooo sweet and crunchy and pairs nicely with the heat of the chicken. Fries are 10/10 so crunchy and thick! I love the swirly cut - almost thought I was given apple slices. There's some construction going on so I got dropped off at the corner and ran in - super easy just say your name and pick up. Online ordering was very straight forward. I ordered at exactly 11:30 and got my order in under 8 minutes! read more

Shoutout to JC for his excellent customer service. I was in downtown San Jose checking out an event and walked passed a homeless guy who asked for food. He was craving chicken tenders from this place so i came by to pick up food for him and for myself. To my surprise, JC decided to comp all the food! The Mac and cheese was cooked Al dente and made with smoked Gouda so it was pretty delicious. The space is clean and has an outside patio for dining.

I added on the cheese to the #1 instead of getting the grilled cheese with Texas toast since I like the brioche bun and it was definitely well worth the additional $2.

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile after seeing it on Instagram. I've always heard raving reviews! So I ordered it online today to pick up in person. I ordered a 3pc tender, nuggets, & a Nashville chicken sandwich. I'm sad to say I was extremely disappointed. I waited about 40 minutes in store then brought it home to eat. The breading of the chicken on the nuggets were all falling off and seemed undercooked and gray. The fries were all cold and soggy. I got seasoned fries as well and it was just unpleasant eating soggy fries with seasoning. The sauces they come with I was not a fan of as well. It was not flavorful. Maybe I just went on a bad day. It was very busy and seemed understaffed. read more

A friend picked this up for us, and boy were we not prepared. We can handle a good amount of spice, so we decided to try a 4 and a 7! Note: This was our first experience with Scratch cookery. Yeah, if you know what a 7 is, you definitely know we were shook to the core. We split the sandwiches in half thinking we could both take em. We started with the 4 (or so we thought). Just tasting the coleslaw kicked our butts. It was really just a tiny piece and my eyes were watering and mouth was on fire. Sips of milk did absolutely nothing. We powered through by peeling off the skin and eating it with some white rice, but definitely took long pauses between each bite. We then moved on to what we thought was the 7. Absolutely no spice at all. Did we somehow swap them?! Or did we become immune? I tried the "4" again--took a massive bite because I thought I could take it. In microseconds, I was on the floor. Crazy spice. The chicken was kind of dry to me. Not sure. Next time we definitely won't get the spiciest one. read more

Worth the hype! Just be patient, have Apple or Google Pay setup, and you shall be rewarded. During this SIP, be sure to park anywhere nearby and go to the door to get your order. I foolishly sat in my car a while thinking someone would come do curbside Their chicken has a great crunch and wonderful flavor. In terms of heat, to me the sweet spot is somewhere between Levels 3 & 4. Next time I might add extra pickles and extra comeback sauce because yum. read more

Worth the wait. I've been seeing countless photos and videos of the hot chicken sandwich and finally got to try it for myself. I can't really handle spicy so I got level 1.

It's large and I could only eat half of my sandwich. The coleslaw compliments the chicken well. Looking forward to see what levels I can handle in the future. read more
