I'd never heard of this restaurant chain until I bumped into one of its locations during lunch. The first thing I learned about Angry Chickz is that there's a lot of them out there. They're all over NorCal in cities like Sacramento, Elk Grove, Vacaville, and Brentwood where I found them. The second thing I learned about Angry Chickz is they can really slap you in the face... with the heat! They sell some spicy Nashville style chicken, and know how to make it burn. I ducked and ordered my food mild, so it wasn't such a harsh blow. I had the combo #1 for $17.00, which seemed a bit expensive because it didn't come with a drink. But, they did give me a lot of fries, and the "sliders" were more like regular size sandwiches, so it was a really big meal. The third thing I learned about Angry Chickz is they don't hold a grudge when they cook. I may have annoyed them a bit because I showed up 10 minutes before opening and stared in the window drooling the whole time, but that didn't affect my food. My sandwiches still came on a nice soft bun, had plenty of creamy coleslaw, crisp pickles, and tender fried chicken in the middle. The combination of crunchy pickles, cool slaw and spicy chicken really complimented each other. The fries were seasoned really well and very crispy. They gave me plenty sauce to dunk them, and didn't charge me extra for it, so I appreciated that. The fourth and final thing I learned about Angry Chickz is they burn off a lot of steam cleaning. The restaurant was incredibly clean inside and out. The bathrooms were in good order, the chairs organized, and tables wiped down. I didn't see a sign of a mess anywhere. I'll be the first to tell you, Angry Chicks can seem a bit intimidating at first. But they ain't so bad once you get past the tough chick exterior. read more

Did a DoorDash pickup order. Order 6 tender meal and 2 Mac and cheese cups. The Mac and cheese isn't worth the price. The chicken and fries were good. If in person I'm sure the fries would have been better or maybe I should have noted for extra crispy fries. But everything had nice flavor. I ordered half country and half mild for the tenders. We like to give a try of the base flavor to go off. Some places base (basic) fried chicken don't have much flavor at all. But angry chickz was great. My kids were asking for more. 8oz sauce is more than enough for the 6 tender meal. read more

It's really sad seeing how horrible the female manager here talks to and yells at her employees. Being condescending and just berating them. It's also really unprofessional to be talking to them like this in front a bunch of customers. It's busy and the employees are doing the best they can and doing their jobs, but all I hear is the manager going off on 2 employees in the kitchen. read more

This place has gone downhill. I've been a huge fan since they've opened, to the point where my family would get me angry chickz gift cards on holidays. The portion size used to be worth the 15 dollars, but now I'm given half of what I used to get for the same amount of money. Seriously would be a five stars but I'm not trying to pay 15 dollars for decreasing portions. Also, extra sauce used to come free, but now you have to pay? Like seriously. read more

OK, this is my second visit and now I can do a review. I came here for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. Last time I ordered the Hangry bowl hot and while it was super good, it was way too hot for me. Usually when you order spicy food at places it's not really spicy at all so that's why I went straight for the hot. But man, it was way too hot for me. I could eat about a third of it so if you can't eat spicy, do medium or mild. Today I got the medium hot and it was perfect! This is what a KFC famous bowl should be. read more

I've said this to anyone who will listen. I do like one other chain that isn't in our area yet, but this has less of the breading, more juicy chicken, and you can choose your heat level. I get medium and that's pretty hot. My husband who likes hot things gets the medium! The best of the spicy chickens in my humble opinion . read more

I wanted to try a new restaurant with my don. This is in a shopping center that has plenty of parking. The place is nice and open. We ordered a number 1 it's two chicken sandwiches you can get both different flavors with fries. The total cost was $16 but I was surprised it didn't come with a drink. We didn't wait to long service was really fast. We did get our order to go and the cook took it all the way to our table. The chicken was really good it was perfectly cooked and flavors were on point. The fries were crunchy and seasoned. This is a great meal for two . Overall good experience i just wish it came with a drink. read more

The chicken and fries are actually really good. My mistake was ordering a bowl because there isn't a way to order exactly what you want so I was already foregoing the slaw in my order, and then was disappointed when the Mac was bland. The store itself was full of families having a good time, but I did notice a spill on the floor that wasn't cleaned up the entire time I stayed. Not a great first impression, but I'd give it a second chance. read more

This place has gone down hill. Our sandwiches came without pickles and coleslaw and were extremely spicy, even though we asked for mild. When we politely asked them to remake the food, we overheard someone in the back fake a sneeze, followed by another employee saying "bless you" while laughing. We didn't want sneezed on food so we asked for a refund instead and they all looked scared. Totally unprofessional and unacceptable. We're never coming back to this location. read more

Food was good for the price. I'd definitely come back in the future and possibly fatter for my employees!

Everyone loves this place so I decided to try it out. I even tried it twice, and I still think Hot Boys is better. Combo #1: two sliders and fries Sliders might be an understatement, these are definitely full sandos. Comes with slaw and a long piece of chicken to the spiciness level of your choice. I went with Medium. It wasn't spicy for me, but I'm usually good with spicy. The fries were pretty good, especially with the sauce that comes with it. Combo #4: two tenders with rice The rice was buttery, which is not what I wanted or expected, but I guess they didn't want plain white rice on the menu. Loaded fries It was ok...too pickle heavy, and the slaw just made everything real soggy. I got this one at the Hot level (which also has to come with a ghost pepper warning), but the spice was cut by the slaw. Definitely not worth it imo, just get the guap fries from Hot Boyz. The bathroom kinda sucked. Two stalls in the women's restroom, one ran out of toilet seat covers, the other one didn't even have the holder for toilet seat covers, so they were just on the floor. When you rip the paper towels out of the dispenser, the dispenser itself swings outwards, away from the wall. read more

OMG! Above and beyond expectations... very simple concept with great product, friendly customer service, clean location with nice ambiance, I don't do spicy so I had the country version of their chicken which was not spicy at all ‍ the chicken is so tender, juice and fresh I was very surprised. My wife had the hot version of their Angry Mac bowl and she can handle spicy but this was too spicy lol. Next time bring it down to the mild she said! We will definitely be back this was a great experience. Nice to see business like this offer great food and service! read more

We've never had a bad experience here. Maybe a few minor mistakes but nothing that would make us not want to come back. The Angry Mac is a favorite at our house. When we do come here, we always order to-go and bring it back home. A few times, they put the wrong spice level on our chicken, but it's not the biggest mistake in the world. The food is always good and consistent, and it's close by to a lot of places where we run our errands so it's a convenient dinner option for us. Employees are always nice and friendly. No complaints. read more

A solid chicken sandwich, nice flavor and the slaw and pickles work well with the level of spice. I would like to see the chicken make it through to the end of the sandwich. Last few bites were just sauce and slaw. The staff was super friendly, shout out to Amir for explaining the menu and helping to customize my sandwich. I'll be back for one of their bowls next time. read more

Reduced the portions to half what they used to be for angry Mac. Way to lose customers, halfing the portion size and keep the price the same to save a quick buck. Never eating here again read more

Not sure what the buzzz was about! Been there twice, always out of something we ordered.

This place has been our favorite from the time it's opened we always go for Combo #1 (mild) along with a side of tender (mild). We are obsessed with their secret sauce!!! So far we have tried many places but nothing comes closer to their moist , crispy, flavorful tender chicken. This time I wanted to try their Angry Mac being craving for Mac & Cheese for along time....it's been over 5 yrs since I had Mac & Cheese....so thought it's about time!!! It comes with 2 chopped tenders with fries , Mac & Cheese & secret sauce for -$13. It's a nice generous portion to share or if ur crazy hungry u can satisfy ur hunger with the whole bowl too... wish I was able to like in my 20's.... I took first bite & I was hooked ....silky smooth & gooey perfect seasoning & went very well with the fries & chicken tenders... amazing!!! Can't wait to have it again maybe I will wait for winter it would be perfect.... Since I can't eat whole bowl I had only one fourth & kept remaining for later.... I also ordered combo #2 - two hot chicken tenders with white bread , pickles & fries with seasoning- I opted for mild ... Again very juicy tenders & perfect seasoning . As always the quality & service was amazing. Our go to spot for tenders & fries .... & now Mac & Cheese too !!! read more

Angry Chickz neither made me angry or happy. I should have just gone to the less angry hallelujah chicken sammy place. Driving to Brentwood through the Vasco corridor I got hungry, or should I say hAngry. Typed in chicken sandwich and Angry Chickz popped up. So I decided to give them a try. The location of the restaurant is tucked way in the back of a shopping center. Like wayyyy back behind the Ross store. There is no drive-thru so if you are driving with your shoes and/or pants off, this may not be the ideal place. I walked in and asked the friendly employee what was popular. I was secretly hoping the workers would be angry and cussing me out like the hotdog place in Chicago... To my surprise, she said (nicely) the Angry Mac bowl. I looked at the bowl that consists of a heap of mac and cheese with chicken and their signature sauce and decided on a hard pass and went with the slider combo (Combo 1). I mean, with all this myocarditis going around, it seemed like the safer choice. After paying for Combo 1 with a mild hot spicy level (as I get older my anus tells me it doesn't like the burn), which consists of two large fried chicken sliders and fries, I realized it didn't come with a drink. It would have been helpful at an angrily spicy chicken joint to include the drink in the combo or have employees tell customers that drinks are not included in the combo. Like common sense right? I mean they have a waiver if you order their spiciest level. Just include the drink in the combo yo. So yes, I had to make two transactions. One for the combo and one for the $2.50 fountain drink. The system even asked me to tip for the freaking soda. Annoying. So if you get Combo 1 and a drink it will be over $20. Is the chicken good? Yes. But I kind of wished the coleslaw was offered as a side and not put in the sandwich. Bread gets soggy. However, having tried this Nashville-style hot chicken place once, I don't think I would crave them again. read more

Angry Chickz - a chicken sandwich and french fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brentwood, California

My family and I have been here two times. The "Country" has no spice and the "Mild" has a cayenne powder flavor profile in the spice. The Hangry Fix comes with 1 chicken strip but TONS of rice - we split the mac & cheese / cole slaw / rice up between 3 people and just ordered a few extra chicken strips on the side for the other people. The chicken is good quality but the crust is not as crispy as other chains like Raising Cane's or Popeye's. My husband got the combo # 3 which has a chicken strip, fries, slider, and a thick sliced piece of bread. The bread is thick like Texas toast, but it doesn't have any garlic butter or anything on it. The fries were good too but nothing amazing enough to jelly my jam. We went on a weekday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. Service was good - they were polite and acknowledged my husband immediately. They got crackin on the order right away too. We all definitely liked it and will come back when we're in the mood for something spicy. I just wish they had true Texas toast with garlic butter spread! read more

Be prepared for gigantic portions! I highly recommend the Angry Mac with mild spice. The mac and cheese was creamy, gooey, and made my tummy dance. Be warned, mild spice does pack a punch. What I didn't realize was underneath the mac and cheese were two chicken tenders and a pile of fries--that instantly brought a smile to my face so I made room for more food in my stomach. I can't wait to come back and chow down on this comfort food again! read more

First time trying this place and mediocre at best. Nothing was terrible, but nothing was mind blowing good. Ordered two combo #1's and a side of Mac and cheese. There Mac and cheese was very mild in cheese flavor and I tasted a spice profile that seemed to be jalapeño. I think I prefer Kraft deluxe in the box over this Mac and cheese. The fries were soggy by the time they got to me. Very interesting consistency. The fries seemed soft but dense at the same time. They were probably the worst item in the meal. The chicken itself was moist and packed full of flavor. We both ordered medium spice. It was just the right amount of heat. The coleslaw was good and the pickle added the perfect salty touch. However, my bun was a little soggy too. Overall, the sandwich was the best item in the combo. The restaurant itself has an odd layout. Same as the restaurant before them. It was clean inside, but the service was a little slow. Took a while to get our order. I would give them a second try to order a different item. read more

Line out the door during weekday lunch hour, but it moved pretty fast and once we ordered our food, it was ready in less than five minutes. Everything is packaged "to go" even if you say your order is for dine in. One of our coworkers had been before and cautioned the "sliders" were pretty much full sized sandwiches, so she and I opted to split a combo #1 and add on a side of mac and cheese. I was impressed the chicken was nice and moist, given it was white meat. We ordered medium heat and it was just right. Loved the crunchy coleslaw and pickles. We dolloped a bit of honey on a few bites for a bit of sweet & spicy. Overall, a solid Nashville chicken sando! The mac and cheese was super creamy and cheesy. I would order that again. The seasoned fries were perfectly crisp and I dipped it in their mayo based house sauce for the win! Definitely a calorie splurge. We all felt the heaviness of the *fry* shortly after, and some of us felt the burn of ordering their chicken "hot" the next morning if you know what I mean... read more

This time we went in for pickup. There was a huge crowd inside and at least 20 people ahead of us in the line to enter. But kudos to both - a very efficient staff who managed the ordering and handing over the orders so quickly and with a smile! And a to a very patient crowd who focused on the prize , their meal from Angry Chickz !!! We were in and out in about 20 minutes. We ordered the Combo #1 - one mild and one medium (unfortunately we could not tell the difference, but I was happy with my "mild") The chicken itself was fantastic and also all accompaniments were also fresh and top quality. The fries were also very tasty and crunchy and in good portions! We will be back very soon for another round of this intoxicatingly delectable chicken sandwiches ! read more

Bloody seven hells that was hot. Me and my daughter drove some errands on a lazy Saturday afternoon and on I whim, I decided to stop by Angry Chickz since it just recently opened. We did start our wait outside the restaurant but reckon it was only about ten minutes until our orders were taken. I didn't really get a chance to read the menus in depth so I opted for combo #1. I did, specify though that I wanted X-Hot and see if their reputation really holds true. I also got another pair of combo #1's for my kids and wifey, with a much milder Country style which had no heat. Boy their prices were really up there. Waiting for our to-go's, I cannot help but feel the sting to my wallet. Alas, our orders were surprisingly quick to get out, despite the line getting longer. As we opened our meal in the house I can say that combo #1 can be legitimately be shared by two. I first swiped the fries and it was pretty good. Seasoned just right with a proper outside crunch. I finally had a bite of my X-Hot sandwich. I sensed a proper pickle and okay 'slaw until heat engulfed my entire mouth. Okay, heat department they were legit. I could not imagine tackling Angry level of heat. Nevertheless, it took me about 15 minutes to finish one slider and yielded to the second one. Once my taste buds recovered with a help of some milk, I tried the kids sandwiches which were devoid of heat. They were bland to tell you the truth. It was somewhat dry on the inside and apart from the passable coleslaw and crunchy pickles, it was a mediocre chicken sandwich. I did like their buns with a light hint of sweetness that helped the sandwich. Thinking back to my fiery sandwich, I question my overall experience. True, the heat and pain is there. But like my kid's sandwich, where the flavor? I have tortured myself before with other cuisines, like an Indian biriyani or a Chinese mapo tofu. But in those instances, I cannot help but keep on munhing because along the heat came complex wonderful flavors. Angry Chickz was just heat. In the context of the increasingly vast chicken sandwich restaurants, I would pick Chick-fil-A and Popeye's (underrated imo) over Angry Chickz. My mind set is even at "try it at least once" and leave it at that. read more

Angry Chickz - Heat is real, milk required. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brentwood, California

Let me start by saying I have a 15 year old, so this would not be on my try otherwise. In that, if it was in my city of Oakland I probably would. This food was not only over priced but the absolute worst. I'm not sure what the hype is with other reviews or people have just lost their good food taste palate or what! We ordered a two items to try. First up was the Angry Fix. A mix of Rice, Mac and Cheese, Chicken and Cole slaw. Every portion had no true flavor. The rice had no seasoning (was supposed to be butter with the rice?) the Mac and cheese was your homemade type velveta m&c but again no real taste to it. The chicken was just spicy. No other spices or flavor combinations to compliment it. And last but not least the coleslaw, which ultimately became warm from the other foods. Ever have hot coleslaw. Not that great. Second up was the combo 1. Two hot sliders, with slaw pickles and fries. Seriously, it was the same experience as the bowl. The only worthy thing was the fires. But you can't really mess up fries. Why are we excepting box Mac and cheese? We can not let this be the norm people. Why are we excepting bland food, no spice, no flavor, no explosion of taste. If you want a great chicken sandwich, you're going to have to travel. Hit up Kowbird or Hotboys or even old school Bake Sale Betty's.. I can not for the love a good chicken sandwich, do Angry again. It left me angry! That was it. read more

Went on the opening day and waited and hour and half. I didn't make it towards the front of the building before I decided to leave. I waited like an honest person in line only to see people cutting up front. I came back a month later, no line, to check out the hype. To me, Hot Boys are better. We ordered the #3, it had toast, single chicken strip, and sandwich with fries with the country no spice with an extra strip $5 on the side. The chicken strips were barely coated and soggy. The worst part after eating inside the restaurant: leaving and smelling like the fry oil. My new sweater smelled like frying oil and my daughters clothes smelled like the fry oil. The place needs better ventilation and exhaust, period. Who wants to smell like fried chicken. read more

Angry Chickz, y'all are wild. I thought I could handle the heat--been a spice lover my whole life--but that X-Hot had me questioning my life choices. Didn't even realize y'all snuck Scorpion peppers in there until I was halfway through the bowl and sweating like a sinner in church. Now I've got this bowl sitting in my fridge, and I'm rationing it like it's nuclear-grade fuel. A few bites a day is all I can handle unless I want my toilet to file for a restraining order. As for your Angry level with the Carolina Reaper? Nah, I'm good. Y'all can keep that chaos for someone with nothing left to lose. read more

Price. WOW! Way over priced for a fast food restaurant especially in this economy. $13-$16.00 is ridiculous plus $2.50 extra for a drink !!!!! Insane. There's better choices. It takes a long time for the food to be ready as well. Service is ..... don't expect a thank you or eye contact. Smiles out of the question. The cashier also rubbed sauce on my container because I did not tip. I don't tip fast food restaurants and I won't unless they really work for it. A tip is earned NOT entitlement. (I don't tip before I receive my food, ever.) I won't be back. Good luck with all that. Angry is right. read more

Angry Chickz - Piece of chicken on white bread - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brentwood, California

The best thing about Angry Chickz may just be their fries... Food: ordered two chicken strips and fries. Ordered the medium spice level after the cashier dissuaded me from getting the level above it. She said the level I initially wanted is made with ghost pepper and can't be exchanged if I don't like. I went with her suggestion and was disappointed. The chicken had barely any spice to it and the worst part was the chicken wasn't crunchy. I've never had soft fried chicken before... the tenders came on a piece Of white bread which seemed super random. I literally threw it away. Now the fries however were bomb. I ordered to go so didn't sit and mingle at all. Overall I would only come back for fries. I just didn't like the texture of the chicken to try it again at a higher spice level. read more

Food was good staff was nice wish they would offer more sides for the dishes and the food is pretty sharable.

Aye here the first time,food was fresh also, I got a couple medium sliders and a "Hot"Nashville Hot chicken sandwich, and it was hot hahaha I like spicy but it was too hot for me to enjoy lol (I Did eat it ) but I would recommend the medium haha. I also got the angry Mac bowl hot, yeah I learned my lesson haha never get the hot lol but it was good. I love the music they play in here too, can enjoy it while you are eating your food.

More like a 3.5, but this was solid. First time here and the place was crazy busy (Sunday dinner time). The wait time was pretty slow with it taking about twenty minutes to get my Combo #1, but the staff was friendly enough. Place needs a little upkeep with tables dirty and lots of trash piling up. On top of that it was about 95 degrees outside and it was hotter than hell inside. The sliders were solid though and their sauce hit the spot.

Generally like this place. But the past couple of visits have seen a noticeable drop in value/quality.

If you don't like spicy food just get the macaroni and cheese, no sauce. Even the country style chicken is spicy as are the fries. This location needs to work on customer service.

While the music seems to be a good mix the volume raises on certain songs that appeal to the younger staff. Wouldn't recommend. read more

I have been going to this location since it opened and lately service and food preparation has gone downhill. My last four times I have gone there has always been something wrong; plates looking as they are missing food being less than half full, to rice being hard due to undercooked and the worst has been when ordering no spice/hotness for the chicken due to it going to my young children, they seem to get same level of spice as mine (Hot-Ghost pepper) and we end up tossing the food out. I always take my food to go and trust my orders are the way I asked, but when getting home to see they are wrong, it's to far of a drive back to have them fix my order. I always pick up the order on my drive home due to it being along the way. Today was my last draw, I ordered for my wife a hangry fix sub slaw for extra rice, tell me why there was no Mac and cheese at all in the bowl. The counter person read back my order and my order was right on my receipt, then why was I missing a big part of the order? My wife was disappointed and I upset. No matter how much my family wants food from here , going to pass every time now. They lost a quick $100 from me and I would go at least twice or more a week. The people making the orders need to care more about what they do or more are going to stop eating at this location. read more
