The food here hits! I got the angry mac which is a loaded Mac with a bed of fries and a couple chicken tenders chopped up into perfect bite sizes. Then they top it off the the Mac on top with a drizzle of their house sauce and the spice. I got the medium spice which was very tolerable. I was thinking about trying the next level up the next time I go. Lots of seating the resturant and everything was clean and neat The only thing was the cashier was kind of grumpy or dare I say "angry" while I was placing my order. But she looked like she was the only one working the cashier and calling out the ready food so maybe she was just feeling overwhelmed. But that wouldn't deiter me from coming back. read more

Another Nashville-style hot chicken chain! I guess more choices for us, the consumers. Angry Chickz is located in the Elk Grove Commons. Plenty of parking, next to The Cookie Jar. Ordering online was very easy and the food was ready when I got there. No waiting! I was greeted right away and the staff seems very friendly. I didn't eat there but there are a bunch of tables to dine in. It looks clean and well maintained. #3 One chicken slider with slaw and pickles, plus one tender over white bread with pickles and fries. Large and generous portion for $16. I got the mild and it was spicy (for me) with a kick. The chicken is juicy and coated with lots of seasoning. Lots of flavor. How does this compare to other popular Nashville-style hot chicken? I think it's about the same. I do like the location and the ease of ordering from Local Toast app. read more

There are many Angry Chickz but this is not an angry chick who is angry and hating on me LMAO Seriously though this Angry Chickz spot in Elk Grove is a fairly new place which opened less than a year ago back in June 2025. Since it's opening, I have visited several times now. And each visit has been a positive experience. There's plenty of parking, and the place is clean and tidy. This last visit I ordered the Classic #3 meal which includes 1 chicken slider, 1 chicken tender and fries. You can choose your heat level from country no heat (boo) up to ANGRY (noo)! I opt for medium. The chicken sandwiches are actually very good, juicy and perfect spiciness. And the fries are bomb!!! Service was very good. The staff were friendly and courteous. Will visit again. read more

My kids really enjoy this place because their chicken sandwiches are good--and I like that each order comes with two generously sized sliders. However, I'm giving them 3 stars for now because the service could definitely use some improvement. The restaurant itself is clean, but during my last couple of visits, the pickup experience was frustrating. A staff member didn't notice me standing right under the pickup sign and continued chatting with another employee about non-work-related things, only to greet the next person who walked in. I had to get their attention just to pick up my order. Overall, the food is decent, but the service experience needs some attention. read more

Please teach your staff customer service. We walked in and we were not greeted, we were ignored right away. We had a mobile order and were standing in the mobile order line and when the server approached us he just looked at us with a head nod, no "how may I help?" Nothing. On top of that, the only thing good on the menu is the fries. Do better read more

So surprised by the low rating! I had a positive experience at Angry Chickz with the food and service. Ordered the sandwich (mild)/tender on toast (medium) and two sandwiches (medium and hot). The person taking our order warned us hot was ghost pepper hot but we still wanted to try it. Spoiler alert--it was hot!! Lol. The sandwiches were good. Chicken wasn't dry at all and nicely balanced with the pickles and coleslaw. They are larger than slider size in my opinion. I didn't even eat the other half of my order because I was full. It also comes with fries, which were seasoned and crispy. For my taste, mild is the best level because there's still spice, yet not overly where you can't enjoy the sandwich. Medium maybe, but hot was way too hot . We were sweating lol We came around 2:30pm with a few people in the restaurant. By 3pm there was a line and the place had filled up. Kudos to the workers for being friendly and attentive throughout. read more

I just needed something light to have with my medicine, so I ordered a chicken tender with mild spice. That's the lightest of the 5 levels of spicy hot. It comes with a thick slice of toasted bread, which is rally good. The order took about 15 minutes, but I think they over spiced it. It was so hot, i couldn't enjoy it. I'll have to go with no spice the next time, which is called Country on the menu. read more

One of my favorite place to eat, the #2 on the menu is the best to order. My whole family loves it! read more

Really solid. 100% halal for those with dietary restrictions. It was my first time at this location, but I've had this before at other locations. The inside is pretty clean and I saw tables actively getting cleaned and turned over to accommodate incoming customers. All I ordered was the Angry Fries and was surprised that it was close to a 25 minute wait. All of the other chicken spots seem to be able to turn around the food pretty quick. It was served hot and fresh so I can't complain too much. I went with Medium spice, which was just fine. The main difference between many of these spots is that they use white meat/chicken breast whereas Hot Boys uses dark meat/chicken thigh. Both are good but I prefer dark meat from the chicken spots. I would definitely get this again and what separates them are their fries. Their fries are on the same level as hot boys and definitely better than Dave's. read more

I came here and picked up and I got home and medium chicken was good had little kick but the hot omg ! I swear they might have given me the x hot cause literally was dying and wanted to call 9-1-1 and I've had the hot before and it wasn't that bad idk maybe someone had a heavy hand with the spice but omg couldn't enjoy at all. This made me definitely not come here again for sure. First time with the hair and now with the spice beyond crazy hot. read more

Come here almost every week and is always a great experience. They have great food and the people at the front are always very nice.

Chicken is juicy and the flavors are delicious. Compared to all other "Nashville hot chicken places" angry chicks have it down when they are on their game. Citrus Heights location never disappoints. Folsom blvd location is a little spotty, and with Elk Grove I hope they stay up to par. The line at 9am was very long which is expected for a grand opening. I highly recommend everyone at least try this place once. I obviously caught the bug and you may as well! My go to order 1 hot tender, 1 medium tender with fries and a ton of sauce because it is delicious! Their max is creamy and the noodles at time may be overcooked for my liking. My wife enjoys their buttery rice which I consider bland but with the chicken it is complimented very nicely. We are very happy to see a location in this part of town. Farewell Rubios and welcome Angry Chicks :-) read more

My son waited in line at 6 AM for today's grand opening and was able to be ticket number 59! He was able to get a jersey and order food to take home. I can only do a review on the food as he brought it home for us to enjoy. He ordered the Angry Mac and the #3 which a slider and tenders with fries. I had asked for mild as I can't handle spicy and wow this had a kick to it! To me it was much spicer but again my palate can't handle spicy! The food was delicious! We enjoyed every bit of it! This will definitely be a family rotation when we are having chicken cravings! Excited that it's not too far from home! Definitely a must try! Welcome to Elk Grove Angry Chickz! Congratulations on your amazing turn out on your grand opening! read more

This location used to be Rubio's, you know that place that served inexpensive fish tacos. This place however is really expensive. I ordered combo #1 and it was about $18. Service here isn't that great, but food was ready fast. Combo included lots of seasoned fries. These weren't anything special. I had to put mine in an air fryer though because they weren't cooked enough. The sliders that came with the meal tasted great, I ordered them at hot level spicy. I only finished half the meal because it was a lot. Except I think I got food poisoning from the food here... I was sick after a few hours and the next day I just felt miserable the whole day. Don't know if I'll be coming back here. Food isn't fresh. The service is bad, when I arrived there were employees just standing there talking to each other outside while I waited at the counter to order. Did everyone get the same break time? I've had Nashville chicken elsewhere that is better and less expensive. read more

We ordered the mild spicy Nashville chicken through Grubhub--got the Angry Mac and an extra slider. Both came with juicy, flavorful tenders that were cooked just right. The spice level was mild as requested, with a nice kick but not overwhelming. The Angry Mac had a great combo of cheesy comfort and crispy chicken, while the slider was a solid portion on its own. Overall, we were impressed with the quality and taste. It was more than enough food for two people--very satisfying and worth the order! read more

Review is for a To-Go order Food 4.2 My daughter wanted to go for their grand opening but decided to wait, so this past Sunday was the day. There wasn't a long wait to place our order, so after quickly looking over the menu we order: #1 two slider meal (one country = no spice & one medium), an angry Mac medium and an extra tender mild. It took about 15-20 minutes for our order to be put together. While waiting it seemed like there were more workers than guests inside but the workers were attentive about keeping the place clean. When we got our food home, we immediately opened our food and excited to eat. The #1: chicken was cooked well nice, tender and juicy, but there was no crunch since the chicken was lightly breaded while their medium spice had no heat IMO. The slider were topped with Cole slaw which really wasn't present when eating. The angry Mac was a good size bowl: a mixture of Mac & cheese with fries topped with chicken. The Mac was soft (noodle not over-cooked) and creamy, the fries were a bit soggy being place at the bottom of the bowl. Overall the food quality is there but for the money including tip ($47.96) and no drinks, I will think twice about returning. read more

This is day 2, and we figured out the line will not be as crazy. We went at 1:30 pm on that Saturday. The line is at the door but very fast. It took about 20 minutes from order to getting the food to go. General, wait time is reasonable. The store is nice and clean. There are plenty of outdoor seating in addition to indoor. Bathroom is clearly labeled. The staff was in two types of uniform, which was confusing. One had NRO CREW, the other one says Elk Grove. The confusing part for me is that the EG version is the same they gave out to the first @00 customers in day 1. Isn't that kind of an imaging/branding issue? Just a thought... The line moved very fast. The staff is well trained and very knowledgeable and coordinated . There is teamwork there even it is only day 2 since opening, which was a very pleasant surprise! The food had 5 level of spiciness, and we got #1, angry fries, and side of tender. Total was around $40. We got them in country and mild. We love Korean noodles so that will be how we compare the spices, which their mild has way more heat than I expected. It is not burning a hole in my stomach, but if you only handle half a pack of Korean ramen powder, you will want to opt for country. Their mild is more spicy that a whole pack of Korean ramen powder. Since we had the food to go, it was not a fair assessment. My hubby says it take better than the other place in town, as the chicken got a more smokey flavor here. Not sure if it was the peanut oil making that difference. Our recommendations is if you don't want to dine there, open the container on the drive back. It let out some humidity and keep things crunchy (unless you love soggy fries). We are not sure if we will return often. It all depends how painful when it came out ... read more

I read some of the 1-2 stars and I'd have to say this type of chicken might not be everyone's style. We like the fries and the spice levels of the chicken. I'd agree it's a bit pricey but I thought there are some other chicken places that are quite pricey as well and this has better flavor in my opinion. The place slipped clean and the lady at the register was really nice even though the place was busy she took her time with our order. They stay open until midnight. So keep that on the list of positives since so many places in elk Grove close early read more

The only reason I didn't give it 1 star was because the tender I got was a little juicy and actually had spice to it. However, nearly $6 after tax for just 1 chicken tender is a huge rip-off. It also took a little while for my order of just 1 single tender. They also seem to be wasteful on packaging. I ordered my tender for dine-in yet they still packed it in a to-go container and put that in a bag. I don't really see myself coming back to this location or franchise in general. Not until they work on either lowering prices or providing bigger and better products. read more

My girlfriend was looking for something different in the fried Chicken category. I know hot chicken is the new trend, I had plenty to sample when I went to Nashville, but truth be told, we both don't like heat in any of our food choices. You can get good food without the heat so given that we decided to try angry Chickz. I got the chicken sandwiches with fries and my girlfriend got the Mac and cheese. They were both ok, but nothing to scream about. I would still recommend trying it if you're a heat fan. The chicken is good, but nothing that knocks your socks off. Would I go again? Probably not. read more

The way this joint spices up their food is a bit silly. Depending on what level spice you order, they just dump more or less powder over the chicken and call it a day. Not necessarily as crafty as how other types of foods are made spicy. Chicken's texture is also not that great. Overall this place is not acceptable when you consider the price. I can easily replicate what they make here at home with an air fryer and cayenne powder. read more

Super excited this place opened in Elk Grove. We tried this restaurant and overall the experience was okay., Limited option on the menu. Parking - free Service - You order the food at the cashier and they call your name. I think they should have numbers instead of calling names. Few people's names were called out and they were saying it incorrectly. So people were not sure if they were calling their names. It happened to me as well. Haha. Food- I ordered hot chicken. It lacked flavors. They didn't have tissue paper. Oh boy!!! It's messy to eat ifyou don't have napkins. Tables- plenty of tables but get there early since this place is popular and fills up quickly. They ran out of napkins and it's hard to eat sandwiches when you know will need million napkins will eating. It's a messy process of eating. Ambiance- it's simple and clean. Overall, moderate experience. read more

Came in to try this new place for lunch today. It's not bad. I ordered #1 with mild and an Angry Bowl. Love the slaw and the fries were good. I asked for an extra side sauce. Chicken sandwich was good but wish there was more slaw. Staff were ok. Plenty of parking. It wasn't super busy but a number of folks dining in. There's outside seating. I would come back maybe to try the next level of heat since mild wasn't even spicy. I think I can handle the next level - medium. read more

Came here on National Mac & Cheese Day and fully enjoyed my Angry Mac! They were also nice enough to remind me that they were offering a free macaroni and cheese side to every purchase so I got to take advantage of that also. Service was awesome and food came out so quickly! They have plenty of seating inside and outside. The mac itself is super cheesy and gooey, and loved the combo with all the fries and chicken and signature sauce. My only comment is I wish they had a heat level between medium and hot! Medium is just not enough for me and hot is too spicy...give us a medium+! read more

Me and my wife went out to dinner. We heard about this place opening in Elk Grove. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted by staff. The staff were friendly and very polite. Me and my wife both ordered the angry fries. My wife ordered the medium heat and I ordered the mild. My wife loved her fries. She loved the taste and the heat. She said the chicken was cooked to perfection and flavor was delicious. The only issue was the fries to the chicken ratio. My fries and chicken were great. The taste was very flavorful and the coleslaw/pickle combination was the perfect addition to the meal. The ambiance is customer service friendly and has a lot of seating. A great place to get some hot chicken. read more

Not bad. The food was made in a timely manner. I thought the food was yummy as well. The best parts were the fries, the dipping sauce and the toast. The chicken was good too and moist. The only reason to knock off a star was the service. The staff don't look happy to be there, and I even heard some of them complain. No enthusiasm and even when I struggled initially to order, the cashier didn't offer any help, she didn't even say a word. read more

We came here at around 11 pm. There seemed to be plenty of people in there, which seemed like a good sign. We ordered the two sliders and fries combo, and got a drink. Service was friendly. The two sliders came with chicken strips on there, which didn't quite fit the round bun. It almost seemed like the chicken strips were better off being on hot dog buns...not the best bread to chicken ratio. The fries were just warm, didn't seem like a fresh, hot batch. They were more on the soggy side, which I would prefer them to be on the crispier side. Restaurant was overall clean, but the restrooms didn't seem to have a working soap dispenser, which was somewhat concerning. Parking is not an issue here. Overall, I think there are better chicken places out there, and I probably would be a bit hesitant to come back. read more

Good food. There was a huge line when I came for the grand opening. The chicken was good. I got a bowl with fries and slaw. I also got a macaroni and cheese. That was pretty bland. Service was very good. They gave me extra sauces and napkins as well. The restaurant was very clean. read more

Replacing my need for Canes, Nash and tender/proper, or any other chicken joint in EG. Very good value for the portions as well. The only things I didn't like were the fries and sauce. The fry and texture on the fries wasn't my favorite, they were a bit limp. The sauce tasted very basic, like a ketchup mayo fry sauce. Really wished they had honey mustard or other staple sauces as well. Also, every order is bagged and boxed, even dine in, which I assume is temporary but seems very wasteful if not. Great place and I hope the quality of food and value maintains! read more

My twin boys were excited to go here since they love Daves. They were happy with their selection. One ordered the two sliders and the other ordered the tenders sandwiches. They traded once we got home so they could have one of each. I ordered medium for them just as a precaution. The one who likes hot said medium was perfect. The non heat lover said mild for him next time but he liked the medium anyways. The fries were tasty - crispy and the seasoning were good. Glad they are in Elk Grove! No pics they were super hungry today. read more

Take outs are our favorite thing. We decided to try the new talk of the town chicken sandwich place. It did not disappoint! We ordered mild and medium #1. The mild is perfect for my tastebuds.

THEY HAVE NUGGET ICE!! Came here the Monday after their first grand opening day. They are pretty busy still ofc, but they do offer online order and pick up This Angry chickz is super spacious and great for large crowds offering both indoor and outdoor seating. Their french fries are breaded 10/10 Angry sauce and tenders are the best combo and you could purchase 8oz of the sauce! They offer all spice levels and the highest spice level you have sign a contract; I can only go up to medium. I ordered angry mac with fries on the side. 8/10! THEY SHOULD SELL 8oz CONTAINERS OF PICKLES.....i received multiple small containers for free vs when asked for the 8oz. I was willing to pay. read more

This place is pretty good. Food came out super fast, service was nice. Chicken was high quality and juicy and tender. Restaurant was clean. The crust was meh though. Usually prefer something crunchy, and this was completely soggy. Also, the meal is a lot of dry food, would have been better to have a choice of coleslaw over fries. We really wanted to try the angry Mac, but couldn't do it given we were just looking for a late high snack; the Mac bowl would have been like 1,800 calories, a whole days worth, so way too much. read more

I stopped by Angry Chickz today and got the #1 combo which came with two sliders and seasoned fries at the high heat level. Overall it was delicious. The fries were really good, maybe a bit too seasoned, but still tasty and crispy. The sliders were great too. The pickled slaw added a nice tang that balanced the flavor really well. The spice level though was insane. I usually can handle spicy food but this was out of this world. My mouth was on fire and I was sweating halfway through. Next time I'll definitely go for mild or medium because that heat was no joke. Even with that said, I won't hold it against them since that's on me for picking high heat. The food was solid, a little better than mediocre. Not amazing like Howlin Rays or great like Daves, but still good. I'd definitely come back again. read more

Tried this place twice -- and I just don't get the hype. A soggy bun, a single chicken strip, a drop of coleslaw, and a handful of the same seasoned fries everyone's using these days? No thanks. For the price of $17, there are way better -- and healthier -- options out there. If restaurants actually cooked with fresh ingredients again (not just dropped things in a fryer), places like this probably wouldn't stand a chance. It's not real cooking -- just another overpriced, deep-fried chicken strip joint. It's a fad... and honestly, completely overrated. read more

Absolutely horrible! Drenched in seasoning and super soggy. I paid 17$ for 2 chicken strips that were not edible, cold fries with again, a ton only seasoning.

ZERO!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! I came on a Tuesday afternoon and there were only 2 groups eating. With that said, it took the Angry Chickz staff 20 minutes to get my order ready. They managed to get 3 other customers and an employee's order ready much faster. You may be wondering why the staff couldn't just be more attentive? The reason is they were more preoccupied with talking about how old they were, what recreational activities they did outside of work and another employee had an Asian baby girl waiting for him after work. The majority of them had their backs turned towards the kitchen and only turned around when customers went for an order. It's amazing how incompetent the staff were taking and giving orders to 3 other customers while 1 customer was waiting the entire time right in front of them. The ABG bound employee was the last person to receive their order before I got fed up with waiting and asked where my order was. According to the staff, they tried to call for me even though I was mere steps away from the counter standing there. The only thing I heard was their gossip and maybe them asking if my order was done. Not once did I hear them call my name. My order was just sogging away on the shelf while they were chit chatting and giving orders out to customers who came after me. I figured I asked for extra Angry Chickz sauce and they'd give it to me for making me wait 20 minutes and watched while 4 other people got their food before me. The female staff said "sure thing boss" and put "1" sauce in my bag. 1 fucking sauce for making me wait 20 minutes and watching 4 other people get their food before me. What a fucking joke and a slap in the face. Dave's Hot Chicken couldn't get my order ready on time and while I waited, they gave me a soda free of charge. I didn't even ask. It was just good customer service. Somehow Angry Chickz not only lacks customer service but they lack any decency of compassion. I'm not asking for a refund or to remake my cold food, just extra sauce. The best they could offer is "1" sauce. As for the food? You tell me how you could enjoy food that's been sitting for 20 minutes and watching 4 other people including 1 staff member get their food before you. You get better food and customer service at the KFC where you can get shot at than Angry Chickz. Jollibee will shut this place down when they open. read more

I'm sitting at the table right near the women's restroom. Hear the flush and 5 seconds later, an employee walks out. I guess washing hands is not mandatory here? Yuck. The tables were dirty and I had asked the cashier if she can clean it. She was busy at the moment of asking but did come by about 5 min later so yay for not forgetting or ignoring. Also, super long wait for mediocre food. (We got mild and medium. Slice level is definitely there. Chicken was juicy. Fries are good.) There were 7 other parties at tables here. 4 of them are empty and waiting on their food. We were the 5th. Wait time ended up about 25-30min. Also, super cold! AC was blasting. When we finished, the place got busier so I guess others enjoy their food more than I do. I miss Rubio's! read more
