Have you ever been to a place, and immediately needed to leave a review?! That's what happened here. I'm so bad at leaving reviews right away, but this place deserved it. Also, I only found it because of Yelp, so I should pay it forward! The service was incredible. I don't remember the young girls name, but my receipt says "KDS U" as server if that helps. She was so nice and patient with my millions of questions. And she pointed me in the right direction. When I got home and ate my 3 piece tenders with Mac n cheese, I was so happy. It was so tasty. I also got the classic and ranch sauce. She compared the classic sauce to raising canes, which was helpful. But I'll say this, the chicken is great without the sauce (unlike canes). I made sure to take my first bite before any dipping. The ranch is house made and also Delicious. And last, the price was great. I will definitely be back. I wasn't even that hungry and I devoured my food because it was so good! Thank you to the cashier again. She was so pleasant and helpful. read more

The customer service very kind helpful and professional!!. Now the ambiance of the place was nice they play great music and kid friendly. The food is a 1 out of 10 for me!... reason being I waited 23 minutes for my food placed the order at 3:10 and received it At 3:33 nevertheless this is my first time in the establishment I heard a lot of great reviews from friends who have tried it and thought to give it a try on Christmas Day ...now I'm thinking if the food takes this long it has to taste great right... WRONG ordered 3 pcs tender/$13.49 fry combo $1.50 8pc chicken $13.49 fry combo $4.99 Total $36.31 For that price it doesn't sit well with me that I was unhappy about the food breading on chicken was burnt on some ends and soggy on others some of the chicken breading fell of because of how greasy the chicken is and overall didn't not taste good I gave it 4 good bites but I couldn't bare anymore. Money down the drain. I could've gone to in and out or I could have gone to McDonalds but the fact that I choose here should be a reason the food should taste good for people to come back for years to come Won't be back very disappointing.. read more

I was craving some fried chicken strips. This place did not disappoint. The strips were a great size. They did not skimp on the fries. Igor them with mild chili seasoning which added a nice spice. This will definitely be my go to for all things chicken. read more

First time here sandwiches taste really good they give you a big portion of fries also tried the ice cream with waffles very good. Give them a try if you want a delicious chicken sandwich. Staff was very friendly. read more

The chicken spot is about the chicken. Chicken was dredged perfectly crispy on the outside and moist in the center. The seasoning was flavorful and not too salty. There are many places to go for chicken but this spot is really good and definitely worth a try. read more

They advertise products they do NOT have, They said they have no seasoned waffle fries and they always NEVER tell you about which fries you'd like, they just say they ran out or don't have the other waffle fries and always get French fries Otherwise great waffle and chicken read more

Wanted to try this place that I found near me because I was in the area. It was a mix of Canes and hot chicken places. The Interior seating is okay, it does have fans and A/C so you can escape the heat. The Buffalo Chicken Fries - 3/5 There was nothing really wowing about the fries but it was really solid. If you are wanting solid food and willing to wait about 20 mins, I recommend coming here. read more

So glad we got to try. We tried this restaurant while visiting Visalia. We got the chicken nuggets, chicken sandwich, and the mac and cheese fries. Everything tasted fresh and had really good flavor. Our favorite was the fries. We've never tried anything like it! read more

The Chicken Spot - The #3 Mac N' Chicken Sandwich - Chicken Shop Near Me - Visalia, California

Ordered through DoorDash. Food was good but they didn't send correct desserts. Ordered 2 and they only sent 1 which was the wrong dessert. Very disappointing. Ambiance I can't speak of because it was delivery but obviously not happy with service if you can't get a simple order correct. read more

I ordered chicken fries and Mac and cheese on the side with ranch. Firstly, the Mac and cheese is very good and the chicken is good as well but the fries are so disappointing. The fries had a fishy taste and no seasoning what so ever. read more

We got two chicken tenders, Cheese Stix, Onion Rings, 2. Retro Chicken Sandwich Combo, Mac N' Cheese, a Strawberry Shake, raspberry lemonade, and a cheese cake. The customer service/staff was very nice and helpful when ordering. We ate dine in and the food took about 25 minutes, which is quite a wait for fast food. The restaurant ambiance could use some work as the wallpaper was falling off and the tables were not the cleanest. The food was good, i would say the appetizers and desserts were the highlight of this trip. Will try again, worth a try! The chicken tenders 2.5/5 The retro chicken sandwich 3/5 Raspberry lemonade 2.5/5 Mac and cheese 4.5/5 Onion rings 5/5 Cheese sticks 4.5/5 Cheese cake 5/5 Strawberry shake 4.5/5 read more

Came here for dinner and opted to stay and dine-in despite a mix-up with an event. The service was exceptional. It took quite a while to receive my order but that is because everything is made to order. The chicken sandwich was stuffed with chicken tenders, Cole slaw and pickles. It looked great, and tasted great, but was a bit messy to eat. The fries were a bit overcooked for my taste, but it is pretty hard for me not to enjoy eating French Fries. The restaurant is a bit run down and is located in an old A&W building. I will come back so that I can try the Chicken and Waffles. BTW...The Chicken Spot is ranked #38 in Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat: Central Valley - North read more

Still the best chicken and waffle in town you will not regret coming here and the dude that works here is cool as hell

Food tastes amazing, the price and staff is friendly, the amount of food was fulfilling with a cozy dining in area to enjoy the food fresh.

The service is great aswell as the food honestly new favorite place to get chicken and waffles! My gf is the one that put me onto this place, I had seen it but never payed mind but its very well worth it! read more

We randomly thought to come here after trying them awhile back at a taste of downtown. We were impressed then and were very impressed today. The girl helping us was super helpful and great with suggestions. The place was clean and super fun that there's writing all over the wall. The food was absolutely delicious. We got the boneless chicken and it was the best boneless chicken I've had. We also ordered the chicken with fries and Mac. Delicious. My boyfriend got the lemon pepper and sweet and sour pineapple. Amazing! I for the ghost pepper and mango habanero. My only thing would be to make the mango sauce thicker. I feel like I didn't get much of the mango or the heat but again, delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

Everything needs improvement !!! Not busy ! We waited 20 mins for our #1 order of chicken sandwich, fries and drink. The chicken itself had hard grizzly pieces. The over all ambiance was cold and unappealing!!! Dirty and no bathrooms ! We don't know what people see in this place !!!! read more

The Chicken Spot - Very SAD experience !!! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Visalia, California

First I'll start on a positive note {there's ONLY 1 {hence 2 stars} 1. Service was great {Sadly that's where it ends 2. At 1st the food was great (temperature, freshness finger food) However that's where the "great" turns disastrous. About an hour of consumption I was no sooner then running to the restroom to empty my once full stomach...hoping it was the end {damn I was wrong} it continued for an hour off & on until my stomach is LITTERLY EMPTY...(YES all the way down to Stomach ACID) I WILL NEVER RETURN EVER INFINITY. I WOULD LIKE A CHECK BACK IN THE TOTAL OF $14.15 AND I EXPECT AN EMAIL REPLY A. S. A. P. *BAD EXPERIENCE* read more

Soooo good!! We forgot to take pictures because we devoured everything. I had the original chicken with fries and honestly I think this was better than Chick Fil A's (which i also love). Everything was fresh. It's definitely a hole in the wall but we'll be coming back read more

First time trying this place. The driveway is much like a Sonic's they do have people parked in their driveway getting food to their cars. The service area is small the employees taking orders seemed pleasant and patient. Inside the restaurant there are booths and tables much like a small diner there's also tables outside too. The place is definitely casual. We ordered the original chicken sandwich #1and #2 extra spicy. Geez definitely has a kick but with the pickles (on the #1) and the coleslaw (on the #2) definitely softened the spice punch. The chicken was lightly battered and moist inside. The perfect chicken pieces and the sandwiches were big!! Really good size! The fries are crinkled and crispy and seasoned perfectly! The meal was delicious!! A nice find so much better than some other chicken places! I won't name but you probably know. Lol read more

Idk what I said in my previous review, but I had withdrawals and I miss this place so it has to be a 5/5. Hope to see you soon.

Great food, Jumbo wings were awesome, will definitely try this place again. And service was excellent

The portions are very generous, and the chicken is tender and crispy at this semi-fast-food spot. "Semi" because even though they weren't very busy, apparently everything is freshly prepared so it took about 10 minutes to get my order. The facility is a little worn and could benefit from a refresh, but it seemed clean. The rock music may not be everyone's taste, but it stands out from the usual background tracks. Seating and ordering are both available indoors and out. I'd like to see the menu expanded to include an option for grilled chicken instead of only fried. Good as the fried is, some of us want or need healthier options. It would also be nice to have lettuce and tomato available on the basic sandwich instead of only sauce and pickles. It's a nice addition to the downtown area, with the potential to get even better. read more

Easy to find location (former A&W restaurant) downtown. Food is definitely made to order, so don't expect it to be too fast (I waited about 5-7 minutes total from order to receiving food). Both inside and outside the restaurant were clean. Parking can be a challenge; however, I arrived at 3:45pm and had no issues. Okay, let's talk about the food. Amazing! Spicy chicken sandwich was large compared to other places. The sandwich was not spicy at all (which I like). Crinkled cut french fries were delicious. The prices were excellent especially for the quality. Staff were also friendly, so that's a bonus. I would definitely return. read more

The Chicken Spot - Classic chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Visalia, California

First time here was OUTSTANDING! 2nd time here was the worst tasting food! I loved the perfect pieces of chicken, moist, juicy and nice crispiness the first time. 2nd time was rubbery and dry, a piece was so questionable I decided to stop eating it immediately, cause I wasn't looking to get food poisoning. The Cheesecake wasn't worth the price! Almost 6 bucks for a piece that was smaller and tastes exactly the same as Jack in the box. Now I can't personally speak on the service, but my folks say that they're super nice and very helpful! Maybe they just had an off day, that's why I'm not being too quick to judge and I'll probably try once more to hope they come back around to tasting as good as my first experience, time will only tell. read more

Ordered the chicken and mac and fries bowl. Was kinda on the pricy side. Along with each side of sauce is 50 cents and are limited to 1 additional refill. Everything tastes like it was just cheap. Fries were hard, mac and cheese tasted like the insta Mac and cheese. There were also so many flies in the building. I will say costumer service was nice but overall a waste of money. read more

Best chicken place in Visalia excellent service and the food is so good I would go here everyday.

One of my favorite places here in town! I finished the Mac n cheese chicken sandwich before I remembered to make a review lol definitely a must go to if you're in the area. The Mac n cheese bites are the best I've ever had as well read more

Legit! It was sooooo good! About a 30 minute wait for the food but it was WORTH IT! I got the chicken chili cheese fries and he got the Retro Chicken Sandwich. That sandwich was HUGE. The chicken was crispy and juicy on both. We shared a side of Mac n' cheese and OMG IT WAS SO GOOD! Next time, I'm putting Mac n' cheese on top of the chicken chili cheese fries. Go! Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

First time eating here and we will definitely be back! We waited a bit for our food, but that just means it was made to order. And the food is so good.

So yummy! We tried this spot while at a tournament. It was delicious. Staff were friendly and food was served hot and fresh!

Yesterday, my Mom and I wanted to try a new place. We decided on this place. The location is in Downtown Visalia, at the old A&W. The inside is small, and there are a few tables outside to sit down and enjoy. The menu is limited, but the options are good. The gentleman who helped me was very kind. I explained to him that it was our first time and he helped us navigate the menu and explain what was popular. He gave us a few different sauces to try; a spicy ranch, the special sauce, and the basic ranch. If you're in the area, and looking for a new place to eat chicken I'd definitely recommend this. read more
