Your Side Chicks - 2 tender - Chicken Shop Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Big tenders could do just one for lunch. Chicken was very tender and looked like good quality breast meat. The fries are pretty basic. We split a plate of three. Husband had the brussels sprouts and thought they were good, better than JoJos. Will come back again. Tried the truffle Parmesan which cost a little extra and it was a very mild truffle so maybe not worth it but lots of flavors to try. They are all rubs not dipping sauces. Would give 5 starts if the fries were more interesting. read more

Welp. Was excited to try this spot after following since they were at Hawthorne market. Food: solid. Great chicken. Crispy. Great flavors. Service: sucked and will never go again. I asked simply to have my sandwich cut in half and was denied saying she didn't have the possibility. She offered me a sh**tty plastic knife to cut my sandwich. So here's a picture of the massive food-safe knife that was on the wall where she could've cut my sandwich, but apparently that was too much work for her. Never again. I wish I could take back my tip. That's my advice. Don't tip cause they aren't doing anything special to earn it. read more

Great gluten free fried chicken and fried pickles!! Loved the Marionberry lemonade! Great service! Super friendly

Love this place! I am celiac and have never become sick from eating here. The owner is so kind and their chicken is to die for! I also LOVE the huckleberry lemonade. Yummy! read more

Ordered thru doordash tonight. Instead of fried pickles I got fried brussel sprouts, fries were ice cold, chicken was hot, but really not up to their standard. read more

I first came here on the morning of Dec. 31st after a night of drinking. This has been the only dedicated gluten free fried chicken place in portland that I know of. I got the 3 piece combo with OG chicken and OG fries, it came with a sauce. There was a youngish clean looking man working, it did take 20-30 minutes to get my food, but no big deal. Everything was amazing, I'm not sure if it was the hangover or the fact that I haven't had fried chicken in 7-8 years. I have been craving it since, so today, Jan. 8th I went. I got the lemon pepper chicken and OG fries. I ordered ahead of time so I wouldn't have to wait so long, pick up time was 11:40-11:50. I showed up at 11:47, the person today was a slightly ill looking middle aged woman. She looked confused at first when I told her my name, then she said oh it'll be 4 minutes for the chicken. I said no problem, I waited about 10 minutes and she called my name. I go to get my food and she's literally sniffing and blowing her nose with my food bag in the other hand... gross. I grab the bag and there is several small black hairs on the outside of the bag, great! I'm starving so I go back to my car to eat out of the cold, I open the box after 30 seconds of walking to my car and the fries are super soggy, covered in grease and barley warm. The chicken looks decent but is also soggy on one side, with barely any visible seasoning. I'm not sure if it was the batch but every piece of chicken was bland yet so salty it was unbearable, as well as it being stringy and hard to bite. I could barely tear off any, I ate about .5 of the 3 pieces and 1 fry. I will not be back. I'm not sure if I got super lucky the first day or what. I think the only reason why they are still in business is that they are designated gluten free. read more

My son and I are celiac the rest of the family is not. We all echoed this is the BEST FRIED CHICKEN we ALL have ever had!!!!! Dave's what? Raising who?? We are telling you gluten free or not run to Your Side Chicks. read more

A bit too basic for me. The chicken and fries were cooked perfectly, and the breading was superb, but unfortunately the meat was dry & slightly tough breast meat, tasted like it wasn't marinated which is the main part. You can choose from a bunch of different dry rub seasonings but I could hardly taste any flavor on mine, and w/ the dryness of the meat think it would be better as sticky tenders tossed in sauce instead. Also, the self order kiosk adds a credit surcharge as well changing the price of my 13.99 order to 16.56 upon checkout. When I asked, they took $14 cash. I understand food trucks doing credit card surcharges bc the processing fees add up especially when the avg transaction is less than $20, but I think there should be more transparent signage for both the surcharge and cash option to avoid surcharge. The owner is pretty friendly and helpful tho. read more

Tried for the first time and was not disappointed! The chicken was great - really impressive that the breading stays on. Every time we've tried to make gluten free fried chicken, it separates, but not here. The meat was not dry and the dipping sauce was yummy. The kids loved the nuggets and fries too. The fried pickles were an added treat - I'll definitely get them again! Minus one star for the mandatory surcharge at the order tablet; it wasn't super clear what it was for and I didn't love that we couldn't increase/decrease the amount (if it was a tip, I probably would've given more, if it would've let me). read more

I really wanted to like it. I couldn't totally tell what was wrong; maybe the chicken was undercooked. Just wasn't good. Kinda pricey (and lacking in transparency) like other folks have mentioned. The fries were decent. Threw most of the food away read more

First was the added service charge... ok, sure, health care and 401k for your 2 employees I guess...even though no "service" is provided? You have to order thru the kiosk... just build it into the price. Now, the secret credit card fee... wtf? You check out, get the price, make a payment, then the machine shows the total that's 3% more than the total I intended to pay. I ask the nice girl what's this about? She says "write an email." Feels shady. Feels illegal. Can't pay cash if I wanted to. Just nickel'd and dime'd all over. Feels icky... read more

Sean provided incredible service for our visit. I have been gluten free for years and this is by far some of the best food I've had!

We wanted to go to the Hawthorne food carts to check out the options. I'd read about Your Side Chicks (slightly degrading) and stayed in NW. We took a look, but kept walking. The guy working (found out later was the owner) had the longest, most disgusting beard, which wasn't covered, preparing the food. Bro, Costco is more sanitary. I guess there's different rules for carts? Not. Keep walking, there are better options. Sorry Daniel S. Here visiting our kids and I poorly punctuated my review. Honesty isn't maliciousness. read more

Chicken is well seasoned, have a large variety of sauces and dry rubs, and the service is outstanding, Not only in the chicken seasoned but it also juicy. If you're at Brooklyn Carreta definitely check them out. read more

Yelpers, ya'll are SLEEPING on this amazing dedicated gluten free food truck! I'm so happy this place exists! I've been gluten free for over a decade now, and let's face it... it's usually just easier to eat foods that are naturally gluten free, than to try and find a gf substitute. I've been craving fried chicken fierce, and chef Daniel did not disappoint! Holy hell, the chicken tenders were so flavorful and juicy! No dry chicken here, peeps! (Pun was not intended, but now I'm for sure leaving it ) My husband said this was some of the best fried chicken he has ever had... and he's not gf! Perfectly seasoned, crispy, crinkle fries with a side of tasty coleslaw rounded out our lunch. We split a 5-pc meal, and I have leftovers for dinner - score! I'm not sure what is in the secret sauce, but holy crap, that 'ish is amazing too! We also tried one of the hot sauces plus a black garlic ranch. Both were equally tasty, and I can't wait to try all the different sauces. Whether or not you are gluten free, Your Side Chicks is a MUST stop whenever you're in the area! Thank you chef Daniel! We can't wait to be back! read more

Fantastic and juicy fried chicken, comes with many seasoning choices, great service, don't miss if you are in the 23rd street area.

Drove across town because they were "open" just to be closed. Clear hours of business operation would be nice before wasting people's time and gas. 06/23/25 read more

Mandatory service charge/'tip' of 18% that cannot be changed or edited. Not a great look. Just raise your prices or allow us to control the tip. Someone drives to their location and are expecting a certain price point, only to be ambushed with a 18% upcharge. At least feature it prominently on the website that all purchases will be up charged by this amount read more

The food tasty, I really enjoy the deep fried cauliflower and chicken wings and fries

Great food and hospitality! Such a neat concept and we loved the Chef!!! We are from Las Vegas and LA and are big foodies, especially being in the culinary world ourselves (chef and caterers) we love finding new local owned business with their own niche and creative twists! If you haven't stopped by this is a must try! read more

Yummmmm! We visited a few weeks ago and the food was absolutely amazing! I was able to meet the owner and he was very kind. He spent the time asking me about my day and was very genuine. Right away, you can tell that he is very passionate about his restaurant and what he serves. The chicken was perfectly cooked and so tender! The sauces were very tasty and fun. I will be going back very soon! read more

Your Side Chicks - I was so excited I forgot to take a photo! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I had a pleasant experience here. I posted this on the wrong location, but I'll keep it up. It was my first time at the Brooklyn Carretta carts and I was craving fried chicken so google maps took me here. Nice place. I was greeted by employee Sean (sorry Shaun, I don't know how to spell Shawn). He was pleasant and funny and took extra care to make my food as fresh as it could be. We discussed the large variety of seasonings and he even let me sample two that I was indecisive between. Lemme say, the seasonings were phenomenal and are actually bursting with flavor. They have an apple pie seasoning that actually works?? I ordered the tenders. The chicken was crispy and fries well seasoned (you can even get their flavor seasoning on the fries!). My only complaint is that the chicken was a little dry which did bump my rating down slightly (I mean it's dry rub everywhere so makes sense) but the sauce they added on the side really helped with that. I will be going back upon the next fried chicken craving read more

YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE!!! I happened upon this cluck truck by dumb luck during a weekend getaway to Portland. Best chicken tenders I've ever experienced. The honey dry rub is mouthwatering, the ratio of chicken to breading is ideal (90% chicken, 10% breading, unlike most tenders which are the inverse). The house sauce tasted hand crafted and unlike any house sauce I'd had. Plus the fries with the Nashville dry seasoning stand on their own. To top it off, Daniel is a super friendly guy who clearly cares about his patrons as much as his craft. If you're a chicken tenders lover, you'll be making your side chick your main chick real quick. Thank you, Daniel. You opened my eyes and my tastebuds to chicken tender possibilities I'd never imagined. read more

Wow! I will definitely be back. These were amazing. Thank you for making bomb GF tendies!! read more

Between the gluten free fried chicken and the outstanding care from management and workers this place is a 10/10. Everyone is working hard when visited and the food is absolutely wonderful. So delicious. I'll be here any and every time I get to visit. Thanks for the wonderful food and experience at Your restaurant, I'm so pleased. read more

The food was served fresh. And the owner was so polite! And the prices was very reasonable! And I Love the mystery punch that he serves ! read more

Tried this place a few weeks ago after hanging out with friends and family. We ate here while some others grabbed food from other carts and ended up being jealous. We actually made the drive back to Hawthorne just to get chicken for the Super Bowl. I got there early but Daniel already had the order stand set up and was there to chat moments later. No other fried chicken travels this well AND I totally forgot it's gluten free! Honestly can't wait to try more spices/spreads and Daniel is there to answer your flavor inquiries. read more

The words haven't been created yet to describe this chicken... Pray they haven't sold out & place 2 orders IMMEDIATELY. 1 for now & 1 for the "I didn't order enough" moment, after your first bite. Yes it's THAT good. Yes the name is punny/shock-value/derivative/provocative & an awkward Google search. Yes you're making a mistake by reading (this review) instead of eating chicken. RIP Main Chick, Proposition Chicken, Chickenbros, Daybird, & [your previous fav. chicken spot goes here] 10/5 ! read more

My dudes... this fried chicken is so on point. Cannot recommend it highly enough. It's perfect. Owner is super cool and super accommodating, and the place really has the vibe nailed down too. Don't sleep on this fried chicken! read more

Awesome little truck, the name is hilarious, the owner is awesome plus he has a killer beard oh and most importantly the food is FIRE. If you looking for some good eats this place is definitely for you read more

Daniel is a rude, incompetent, human being! I left a negative review of his business when my brother-in-law was dying 1400 miles away (in Portland) & I got hung up on twice trying to order a dying man a piece of chicken! Daniel called my home, called me by name, and proceeded to call me the B WORD and told me to F OFF. Nice friendly business person there!! HE CANNOT TAKE CRITICISM! read more

Really enjoyed our meal this week. I went with OG spices the first time around and it was solid. I'm looking forward to trying more options soon. read more

We seen other people with it looked amazing till we got ours and it had tons of seasoning on it so it was super super salty, so stay with the original and maybe get a seasoning on the side. Chicken was good but as I said it was over the top too much seasoning and I am all about seasoning. I so should had gotten a pic so you could see it sorry read more

My first time and my last time ordering this. I'm sorry y'all, but I just tried to eat my order that was delivered, and both the chicken and the fries were extraordinarily salty. Like, I had to rub as much of the breading off the chicken tenders just to eat some of it, which still was mostly inedible that I had to toss it out. I've been hearing from family members about how amazing their food is, but I had over $75 of an order delivered, and we looked at each other, amazed that this is what others say is good?? NOPE. Coming from a gluten free household, I'm really sad to eliminate one of the few options for eating out. read more

Amazing food here, especially if you follow a gluten free diet. There was a mixup with my order and I ended up receiving the wrong item, the owner promptly responded to this and was very helpful and kind. Def check it out! read more

BEST CHICKEN EVER. the owner was so cool and generous. it was juicy and crunchy and you have to get the pepper ranch (its so so yummy) and the OG and the Nashville flavor! Best in town. read more
