The service was good and quick, ambiance was decent with a good amount of seating. The food was alright, I liked the chicken on the Texas toast but their Mac and cheese can definitely use some work. read more

The chicken was perfectly crispy with just enough spice. We ordered mild and that was amazing. The toast was ok and the Mac and cheese was creamy and good. The fries & sauce were the best according to my teenage son read more

I've probably eaten here 20 times. Food is good when it's on. 2025 08 20 11 Am. Yesterday's fries. Sandwich mad sloppy. Bread old. Bathroom disgusting with no napkins. Dude at the counter was super nice. The food was pretty bad I won't be back for a while. About a month or two ago it was amazing. I'll go to Red Chikz down the road for a while, until these folks get it together. read more

Wow, who of thought putting rice with coleslaw and some hot chicken would be soooo darn good! I got the Hot and had the perfect amount of heat. Great fast service and nice looking restaurant. I wish I was in town longer but I'll be back anytime I head to Oceanside read more

Angry Chickz - Hot chicken with slaw and rice - Chicken Shop Near Me - Oceanside, California

The place is easy to spot due to the neon sign out front AND the place is even cooler when you walk in ! There are painted walls, bright red chairs, and nice high ceilings. Cashier was nice and patient (the machine was slow with Apple Pay lol) and let us know where everything was (sauce, water cups, etc) before we walked away. For $16, you get two chicken sandwiches (spice level from no heat to a range of 5 heat levels) and fries. The fries were good. Got cold pretty fast. I tried both medium and hot in terms of spice. Chicken was juicy and full of great flavor. The spice was there BUT I wouldn't say the medium or the hot was overly spicy. My friends and I like spicy food, so we're thinking next time of trying a level higher called 911 The Mac had chicken pieces and a perfect amount of sauce and seasoning. Definitely a great meal on its own if you don't wanna get messy w/ a sandwich ;) read more

Angry Chickz - Combo #1 and the angry mac - Chicken Shop Near Me - Oceanside, California

I had a pickup at 7:45 and once I came in I didn't get a welcome, I came up to the register and asked if my food was ready since I was a little early but i knew I was a little early so I did mention to the worker it wasn't a problem to wait. But I'm glad they did make my meal before the time it was suppose to be ready, once I left I was checking inside the bag and only found once sauce but I paid for a second one. My husband went inside for me and I gave him the receipt so that they can see I ordered a second one. The worker said they didn't have anymore and my husband ask if he can get his change back since we didn't get any sauce but she said that she isn't a manager. So once I got home I started eating my meal I found a piece of hair in my fries as I was finishing, I don't think I'm coming in again. read more

Came here on a Sat night. It was their opening week. The place was pretty busy. Our food came out quick. We ordered the combo #1, side of Angry Mac and angry fries. Service and food were good. Great location i downtown Oceanside. I still prefer chick fil a but this would be a place I'd stop in again when at the beach. read more

I had lunch here today. I ordered the two pieces of chicken tenders, fries and added a soft drink. First time here so unsure of the spice level. The women at the counter recommended I get one medium and a mild tender as the medium does have some heat. She was right on. I enjoyed both flavors, but was more comfortable with the mild. The chicken was moist and tasty. The fries were great, salty spicy and crisp. They were delicious. This also came with some pickles and served on bread. Pickles were fine and bread was okay. Nothing overly exceptional. The place was a very pleasant environment, clean, fresh looking. Definitely will go back. read more

Amazing vibes and very helpful staff. First time in the area and will definitely be back again!

after lunching here with the boyz (two sons and a grandson), I'm an angry dude. I confess to eating way too many spicy chicken sandwiches since Wendy's introduced a version that spawned an industry-wide phenomenon. ANGRY CHICKZ is not only far-and-away the worst one yet, they served one of the worst meals I've had in a long time. they have raised the bar on bad food. the saddest part is, they're not even trying. their entire menu is built around freezer-to-fryer chicken strips. if you got a hankering for a TV-dinner quality meal, pick up chicken strips from a nearby Von's deli counter, grab some hot sauce, and an eight-pack of doughy burger buns and make your own. quick head's up to would-be restaurant operators: you REALLY should rethink your concept if a freezer and fryer are central to your concept. read more

Angry Chickz - Combo #1: two spicy CHICKEN SLIDERS with SLAW, PICKLES, and FRIES -- does one pickle on each sandwich qualify as "pickles"? - Chicken Shop Near Me - Oceanside, California

The customer service was outstanding, and the product was exactly what I was looking for. I was so pleased with the service I received from this business. They went above and beyond to help me find the perfect feel. I was very impressed with the quality I received. Regardless of showing up the last 5 minutes before closing time their attitude was great, and the service was amazing! Huge shout out to Thomas, Ivette, and Fabian. You guys are amazing, keep up the hard work. We ordered the Angry Mac and Angry Fries. The atmosphere was perfect, music on point. read more

Great food and great service, the heat levels were no joke! ambiance was nice, I watched the game while I ate which is always a plus.

Place my order and went to restroom and once was time to wash my hands no soap. So I went up to the front and spoke to a young guy who was clocking In to work if he can place some soap in the unisex restroom. He stated he would ask once if the team mates in the back if they have some, he came out and said sorry they don't have soap at all. So I asked if I could I have some soap from the kitchen since I was going to eat. He went back again asked supervisor and he said no. At this point I went ahead canceled my order, how employees are washing their hands once using the restroom if it required that every employee once coming back to the kitchen to wash hands that's why I canceled my order for this contamination and health department should give them a visit for this putting customers at risk of Ecoli outbreaks for lack sanitary. read more

Such great food! Mac n cheese bowl is the best thing on the menu. Comfort food x 10. Chicken is solid white and tender. Helpful staff guided me on my level of spice & it was perfect. Busy downtown section, street parking. read more

First time trying Angry Chickz last week. There was a line out the door when we got there(must be good) The place was packed with people waiting for food. The staff was attentive and greeted everyone that came in. After we were waiting in line for about 10mins a staff member did notify the customers that order wait times would be about 30 mins. Not one customer left or seemed to care about the wait. I think the crew was a little overwhelmed by the volume of business But they all handled with composure!! The food was really good! I'm not a super fan of burn your face off "hot chicken" so I got the mildest spice level, nephew got a spicy level and he was sweating, everything tasted great. Definitely will be back! The restaurant was clean and organized. Good job to that crew! The line was out the door the entire time! read more

We stopped here as a quick "let's grab something" date night. I am a crazy fan of chicken (especially spicy) and Mac n'cheese. The chicken was so good! It was juicy but crispy and it was fresh! I got the hot, which was the ghost pepper rub and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT. It was freaking hot, but soooo good! I was disappointed though in the Mac n'cheese. The noodles were over cooked and the cheese sauce has no flavor. I would come back though just for this sandwich. So dang good! read more

Super good costumer service. Great food and atmosphere. Had a great time and recommend to others

While enjoying the beautiful day at a nearby flea market by Rise Co., I was tasked to find a nearby lunch spot nearby. Not being familiar with the Oceanside area, I quickly looked for a casual spot within walking distance. Angry Chickz caught my eye. I know that I've seen either a Yelp review or mention of this establishment somewhere, so I decided to be spontaneous and try this place out. This establishment has multiple locations throughout California, with one in Arizona and another in LV. This restaurant is nestled in a cute area that reminds me of areas like downtown La Mesa. There's a short row of restaurants and businesses that are appealing to the eye, and the street was bustling with both pedestrian and car traffic. Angry Chickz also has patio seating, which is an amazing alternative to take in the outdoor environment. As I walked in, I was amused by painted art featuring an angry chicken dabbing. As I walked up, I immediately noted that the menu was quite simple. There are varying levels of hotness with the hottest one being Angry, and a short statement below it says that you have to sign a waiver. Apparently, there IS an actual waiver that you need to sign via a QR code next to the register. Please note that they don't allow you to return your food if it's too spicy for you. So, for today, I opted for Hot (feel the burn) to play it safe for now. I opted for the slider with fries. Verdict? Yes, it was spicy but tolerable. Would I get this spice level again? Yes! I tried the Xtra hot and this was a slow burn. I love spicy but this spice level was a little too much for me so I was glad I played it safe. I loved the crunchy and seasoned fries. These tasted spicy too but I think it was because I was eating spicy food lol. The chicken slider with fries can feed two people or one hungry person. The sliders were definitely bigger than the average size slider. This restaurant is an absolute must try when in Oceanside since there's no other Angry Chicz in SD at the moment. read more

Amelia is fantastic. Great service and great food that is always consistent and flavorfull.

Under Staffed Staff is not really taking care or approaching the customers They gave me a wrong order read more

Good flavors of chicken, got the medium spicy and it's good. Chicken, rice, sliders and fries are all good.

Just had to make this clear on both review pages, food was not made correctly due to a worker named ashton because he has a personal issue with me. Ordering mild I received the spiciest level of heat and had to go into work afterwards. Not only did he do this he approached my work after i picked up a to go order to verbally harass me, very unprofessional and childish behavior shouldnt belong in a work place. read more

This is the hottest thing I've ever eaten in my life, and I've eaten a lot of spicy things. I love spicy. I get 10s at Thai places, and extra spicy Vindaloo at Indian places. I figured they were exaggerating the spice level, so I ordered "Angry." I've never eaten anything even close to how hot this was. I thought I was gonna die. Hours later my stomach was still hurting. Four pepto pills didn't help, but eating some yogurt finally did. I'm not going to talk about what happened next. I will come back, but will see what the Medium and Hot tastes like. LOL. My one complaint is they should really sell dairy products of some kind. Milk, chocolate milk, yogurt, ice cream... anything other than Soda, which does not help. read more

When you order "Hot," they do not disappoint. They don't play around with spice level, so be forewarned. Otherwise, the chicken was very tender, the portions are good, and the service was great. We always hit this spot when we're in town. read more

I seriously wish I could eat here everyday. Their fried chicken is to die for!!! So much flavor and the perfect amount of heat. Also, the BEST fries I've ever had. They were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. Love love love this spot! Their customer service is top notch. The restaurant is very clean and their patio is cleaned after every customer. Definitely check this place out! read more

I get it. Angry Chickz is fantastic. I ordered one of everything - medium heat. Medium heat was spicy with an extra somethin somethin. Combo 3 is a strip, fries and a sandwich for $12. The sandwich was my favorite part. Nice soft bread with the sweet slaw and creamy sauce and spicy chickie. The fries were even good and o don't eat fries. They are seasoned and crispy. Loaded Mac is Mac and cheese with the creamy sauce and chick and fries on bottom - $9. There were only 4 groups in line when we stopped Sunday at 12:30 for lunch. We asked for no pickles but half the order was pickled- it's fine. You have to remember that these super busy places have employees call out everyday and they are doing the best they can. We don't suck people making our food so we can wait and handle the mistakes. I will be back! read more

3.5 stars I saw this place pop on my FB newsfeed. And I decided yesterday was the day to give them a try. We did a take out order. We (my family) ordered there and waited in our car until it was time to pick up our food. We got there just in time... the line wasn't long. But once we got our food... the line was super long. This place was packed. I had a hard time with the amount of people inside this restaurant. We only do takeout now of days. With covid... I can't take any chances. Ok... this place was good. I liked the freshness of the coleslaw and pickles. It definitely helps cut down on the heat. I got the mild chicken sandwiches. To me... mild is a slight kick of spice....Nothing overwhelming. But this mild in this restaurant is different. The mild here is hot! It made me even question if they got our order wrong. Because these chicken sandwiches were too spicy for a mild. My daughter got the country style chicken sandwiches. Meaning no spice at all. And her sandwiches were like heaven to my taste buds. It was really good. I was kinda bummed about my dish. I wanted a little kick of spice to my food. Not the overwhelming hotness I got. I also tried the mac and cheese too. I wasn't feeling it. The noodles were kinda mushy. The cheese didn't look appetizing. I wouldn't get that again. Overall... I would go back... the sandwiches were good. I just know next time what to order. read more

The owners need to hire and staff more employees!! It took over 30 mins to get two combos on a weekend, which is presumably their busiest time. This is NOT a service problem. Employees are doing their best to meet an impossible volume of orders while being as cordial as possible given the circumstances. Our medium and hot orders were of the same spice level, and nothing was labeled. Tables were gross, and of course, since they had maybe 4-5 people total working, customers had to wipe it down themselves. The cashier was literally going back and forth the counter between taking orders/payment and calling names/dolling out the stuff that was ready. When you have an overwhelmed workforce, mistakes increase and productivity goes down. Obviously you also get your hangry Karens going around making a huge scene blaming the employees :) Definitely doesn't improve the ambiance. Aside from the chicken being over-spiced for the medium level requested, it was kind of soggy and not tender. Note: Dave's Hot Chicken is due to open in Oceanside in March, and may just fill this hot chicken niche instead. At this point, the Carlsbad Main Chickz is also better. read more

My husband and I love trying fried chicken sandwiches every where we go. I can't even count how many we have had. This place has amazing fried chicken sandwiches and they give you so much food! We definitely over ordered on accident. The spice levels can hot really quickly so if you're sensitive to heat on your chicken, be careful. The kick in flavor is amazing, love their sides and can't wait to go back! At the time, we just ordered to go and enjoyed at home but I can't wait to go back and enjoy there. They are located in downtown oceanside and parking can be found on the street. read more

Street parking only, some spots are back in only, be warned many people will not stop to allow you to back in. They took over where burger IM used to be, right next to Dairy Queen. They have their own little patio. Small inside space. Staff friendly. They were very busy! Took about 15 minutes to get my order. Slider - a little too much bread for the tender, I was able to fit the second tender I ordered inside to make it a better sandwich. Tender - very hot, fresh and not over cooked or stringy. Comes on top of a piece of bread. Mild was okay flavor, not much going on. Medium was better but was almost a 'spicy' level. Sauce was meh, just tasted like straight mayo, needed more oomph. You don't have to order a combo, you can just order everything separately as sides. Note, combos don't come with a drink. read more

Angry Chickz - Pickup time vs actual time. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Oceanside, California

Did not have coleslaw, ranch, or pickles. Chicken tasted low quality and there were maybe 10 fries as a side.

2nd time coming in and I ordered 2 medium angry macs. Unfortunately I received 1 medium and 1 hot. I asked if I could get a medium and felt bad because they were about to close. However, not only did they exceed my expectations but they exceeeeeded my expectations!!! They re did our whole order and let us keep the old one. These guys are good and true to their costumers. Thank you to Jose, evette, Martin, Alex, niel!!!! read more

I've never felt emotion towards hot chicken. But here I am typing this, while barely being able to see due to the happy tears in my eyes. This is probably the BEST chicken I've ever eaten in my life. Everything I could've dreamed of. Everything including the fries had so much flavor. I got medium heat and it was perfect. I'm already dreaming of the next time I'll be graced with Angry Chickz in my mouth. Wish I was exaggerating. read more

Passed this place while driving down the Main Street in Oceanside. My husband and I always heard of hot chicken but have never had it so we excited to see there was a spot we could try locally. We got the #3 combo and split it. It was. A LOT of food. It came with a slider, 2 tenders on white bread, and fries. We had a ton leftover. Ok, we order it HOT and damn was it HOT! I mean, I love heat so I kept digging in for more but I think the PERFECT HEAT would have been a bit more enjoyable. Anyway, highly recommend! They also had super quick service! They have some tables outside. Be read more
