    I was in the area and decided to stop by this spot without really looking too much into it. I was a bit short on time, and when it popped up nearby I figured it would be worth trying. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but it actually had a good amount of seating inside which was nice. I ordered one slider and one tender with fries. I got the slider Hot and the tender X-Hot. Surprisingly, I liked the Hot slider more than the X-Hot tender. The Hot had better flavor overall and seemed a lot juicier. The X-Hot definitely brought the heat, but the flavor on the Hot just stood out more to me. The kid working the counter was a little awkward, but still welcoming and helpful when taking my order. Overall it was a solid experience and the food was good. If I'm in the area again, I'd consider stopping by. Solid spot for a quick bite.

    We order the chicken sandwiches and Zecto fries and the sandwiches were extremely good and freshly made. The fries were also good but for me had too much sauce but my boys enjoyed them. The fries are so crispy and taste so good with the seasoning they put on. The service was very friendly and helpful. Ambiance was chill inside and they do have a tv showing the sports games. Parking is good and they do have a drive thru as well.

    The thing about hot chicken places is that, when they work, they soar wonderfully, but when they fail, they fail spectacularly. It's very hard to get right the balance between being pulse-racing hot and cleverly delicious. You either lose the flavor in all that heat or you just don't bring it when it comes to the promise of burning you alive from the inside. I'm glad to say that Zecto's finds that balance. I was thoroughly impressed with how good (and big) the tenders were in their combos. Not only did the sting of some absolutely flaming chicken become noticeable in the first bite, but each belt was also noticeably scrumptious as well. The service was exemplary, as the workers had my back with refills, requests for honey, and to-go boxes. They also just had a pleasant and helpful demeanor when it came to interacting with them. Also, for a fast casual spot, the size was perfect. It had lots of tables for both two and four guests, and even accommodated our six person party admirably. I also thought the location had great parking and a drive-thru option, something you don't see often in the hot chicken game. All in all, this place was great if you want something other than the usual Dave's or Clyde's, and I think I'm a greater person for having eaten there. Like a great cyborg once said, I'll be back.

    ZETCO is the place to go, w/ your family or invite friends. The food is fresh and caliente. The service is A-1, it's clean, and welcoming. Nestled in a quaint spot, the music is upbeat now let's talk Food. I got the SANDO and the fries were fresh, hot and well seasoned no need for ketchup, the sandwich is so yummy. The chicken whether seasoned or Naked is delicious, the slaw resting on top of the chicken, with pickles is really great and hot! And the combo does come with a cold drink, I purchased the vanilla shake. It brought back nostalgia as I dipped it between bites. Geaux see Matthew and Krewe, enjoys a family owned and operated business where you are treated like family.

    WOW NOW THATS WHAT I CALL FRIED CHICKEN! A little background for me when I first had Dave's hot chicken that was the first time I had fried chicken that really awakened something inside me a fried chicken fiend if you will. Ever since that day I've been chasing that same high and after all those years I thought maybe I would never get that same feeling again. That's until I had Zecto. The fried chicken here is something else it really helps that each item is made to order cause the freshness and crispness of the chicken is really something special. The seasoning on the fried chicken is almost like a layer of sauce with how well it is coated and the juiciness of the meat itself is divine. Yes it is on the pricey side but you can definitely taste the quality and to me that's worth it versus a commercialized taste that a lot of other fried chicken joints have fallen victim to. The service here is phenomenal I had multiple orders when I dined in here and each of those times we were given free items like extra sauce, waffles, cookies all free of charge which was really nice. Overall I HIGHLY recommend this place even if you aren't a fried chicken fiend this is just objectively delicious food that you won't be disappointed with. Thank you Zecto!

    THIS IS MY FAVORITE HOT CHICKEN PLACE. By far actually. The only comparable places are out side of the state so this is easily my favorite hot chicken spot. Its got the most flavorful hot chicken, I like all the different flavors they have for the zecto fries like teriyaki and mango habanero and omg its so good I've tried the tenders, sandwich, and the zecto fries and all 3 are the best! Prices are a little high, I like their combo deals, and their daily specials. Service is pretty fast and nice and the inside seating is also good too.

    I Brought my son here because he's the one with the spiciness! He thought it was delicious. The service was OK and it was a little uncomfortable because we were the only ones in there but if you're looking for a good spicy hot chicken, it's a great place. More of a fast food place than a dine in setting.

    A hidden gem, service was amazing and inside was very spacious. There were parking outside and it's in a brand new plaza. Their original fried chicken sandwich was on the bread was fried, but not too overbearing, and you still taste the meat which was very tender .

    The reviews were correct its not just hype this is where you will find the best nashville style chicken. It takes awhile to get your order because they make it fresh but its so worth the wait. The chicken is the juiciest most tender chicken I have ever had. I got the spicy level and damn it was hot. It was a good spicy though the kind where you still wanna eat it even though it burns. So flavorful and goes super well with the comeback sauce and ranch. Price is decent and portion size is huge - I was stuffed with the 2 chicken tenders combo. The place is super clean and accepts credit card. Wayy better than daves hot chicken or raising canes. Like 1000x better.

    chicken is so juicy. And tastes so good. Perfect amount of crunch. Service is quick. Wish this was closer to the southbay

    2PC Tender Combo

    Tried zecto for the first time and it was a pleasant experience ! Very clean inside, and very nice and helpful employees. I got the 2 piece tender combo, which was tender and moist. The breading was different compared to other tender places so it was nice to try something new. There's a variety of sauces to pick from which complemented the meal and fries nicely.

We loved every flavor we tried, and they even had plain wings for our young son, which was a huge plus. What really made the experience stand out was our server.

Born out of his love for tiny finger foods to bring to get-togethers, Christian has been perfecting his recipes until he opened JD's Wingz in 2021, and you can seriously taste the love he pours into everything here, from the food to the customer service. The Big B's hot honey flavor came highly recommended, and I can totally see why. Their Bombz are their version of "boneless wings". It's kind of like a chicken meatball? but in my opinion, much better than dinky "chicken nuggets" XD You cannot miss out on their world famous garlic pull apart bread--this is sooo soft and garlicky. Bruv, I'm even blown away by the coleslaw they make in-house. Their deals, enthusiasm, and their special menu item "My GF isn't hungry" definitely make this great little wings spot my happy place. Thanks for reading! ^-^
