Service was great. Food was amazing. The location was really nice, indoor in this hot weather able to stay cool.

First time I went there it was fantastic food the chicken sandwich was crispy and delicious

The Babas sandwich was really good, my son enjoyed it. The portions were also great. Cashier and staff were friendly.

Friendly and helpful service. Made it easy to figure out what to get, answer questions, and order. I got the extreme spicy chicken tenders. My mouth was on fire . Even my teeth felt it. The chicken was tender. I would have liked the breading to be crunchy though. Soggy breading on the tenders seemed weird to me. The house sauce is similar to other chicken sauces. This is inside the Redlands Market. It's loud, but not bad. Lots of food choices. B read more

Baba’s Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Redlands, California

Located in the cool little public market of downtown Redlands is a little restaurant in a building of restaurants. It's located just a couple feet past the entrance. Lots of seating and we got lucky w a live band in the patio. FYI parking is a little hectic there. Everyone was very nice, from the cashier to the manger as we ordered. Here are the items we tried out: Mac n Cheese: nice texture, good portion, great truffle flavor Not over powering. 8/10. Loaded fries: these were really good! Big, thick cut fries, nacho cheese, slaw, house sauce, chicken and pickles. Next time I would probably do without the cheese. Baba's hot chicken sandwich: tender, juicy, mild heat, they put a little too much slaw which took away from flavor, but still smashed it. All in all, it was good, not outstanding. I will definitely be back to give another try read more

Food was great and service was fast. Restaurant is located inside the Redlands Public Market. Many seats available and the ambiance is very social as the Market can get packed. Food arrived after 10 mins from ordering. The Mild spicy level is pretty spicy. Would recommend this place! Mini Chicken Sandwich: 4.5/5 Mini Loaded Fry: 4.5/5 Cup of Mac & Cheese: 4/5 read more

Great food to eat great customer service clean place to eat fast service nice attune nice friendly server

We came to the Redlands Public Market for a date night. Street parking in front of the market is free for 90 minutes, but it does get full quickly, especially during dinner time. We recommend parking at the parking structure a block away, which is also free! Overall, there were a lot of options, so it's perfect for a group outing when everyone's craving different things. We got the mild chicken sandwich with a side of grilled cheese. I thought it was pretty cool that they had a variety of side options. Overall, we felt the food was a little underwhelming. The chicken sandwich looks crispy, but the flavors weren't all there. Perhaps we should've gotten a spicier version. The grilled cheese is a little misleading since the cheese wasn't very melted. It tasted all right. Overall, was a good experience to try, but I think the other options at the market are better fit for us. read more

Ba Ba Ba! Ba Ba Barang! It ain't nothing but a chicken thang! After my first bite I was like Oh Dang! Best believe I don't jive and you know this Maaan! After years of not having chicken sandwiches this one has definitely caught my attention. I went with a Mini Baba just to try it out and I was surprised. The tender was nice and juicy and the bun soft topped with that secret sauce, oh yeah. This was really good and now I know to get the regular for next time. We also tried the loaded fries which were legit. It had chopped chicken, coleslaw, the signature sauce on top on crinkle cut fries. Oh Yeah I'm definitely getting these again. The service was good and the seating is shared with the food hall. And that's my take on this shop, Peace out read more

Yelp decided to take down my initial post so I'll say it again. The service was trash and the food is sub par. Is that better ?

Got to try Babas through Yelp and brought the hubby and a few of the kids. We all bought a combo meal and ate at the food hall/court. We all agree everything was good except for the loaded fries. Then because a few of the boys didn't go with us that time. We decided to come back the very next day:) Grabbed them some chicken Baba sando meals. The employees were friendly and welcoming. Food was made fresh. Got one hot combo with Mac and one combo with no heat and Mac. Also got some fried pickles. Both of the boys enjoyed the meals. We'd most definitely come back again. read more

I got a hot chicken sandwich that was juicy and delicious. My son loved their Mac n cheese!

Came here for a lunch date with the wife. Its inside of the public market. Which is similar to the Packing house in Redlands or Haven City Market in Rancho. Parking is a nightmare. Fortunately we were able to snag one of the street parking spots. Their menu isnt very expansive. They have basically 1 sandwhich. The mini version doesn't count as another burger. They chicken tenders here. And a whole bunch of sides including Mac and cheese, loaded fries, fries, grilled cheese, pickle spears and extra nachos cheese. They have 4 different heat levels. We ordered the majority of things as mild and 1 as hot. Unfortunately we couldn't tell the difference between three two different heat levels. It was all the same. We got their Baba sandwhich, mac and cheese, 5 piece nuggets and loaded fries. They shoot you a text message once your food is ready for pick up. The sandwhich was nice and crunchy. Chicken was not dry at all. OK flavors. The fries were definitely loaded. Very heavy. And the Mac and cheese was nice and creamy. The nuggets were nice and crunchy but also very tender white meat. They were my favorite of all the things we ordered. Pricing here is expensive. Premium pricing for just below premium food. Afterwards though I was really bloated. Was like that for about 3 days which was not fun. Was it from Baba's? Not 100% sure. But it was right after eating here. So maybe. Overall, there's so many other places to eat, not only here in the Public Market but in Redlands in general that I dont think I'll be back here again.... read more

Need a quick hearty bite? This is the place! Came here for a Yelp event and it was amazing. The service was quick and friendly and the girl really helped me out as I had no idea what to order. The food was delicious, gonna be honest, I don't believe in chicken being a going out food choice, but I'm pleasantly surprised.. there was a couple spice leveled to choose from, I got the mild and it was great! The sandwich was a mini and it was a great personal size, not sure I could eat a regular as they are GENEROUS with their portion. The Mac n cheese was also soo good, it's definitely on the garlic side, so if you don't like garlic, maybe pass on these but it's still soo good! The fries were my favorite as it was the same chicken sandwich tender but on a fry! The sauce, the cheese the cabbage.. ugh I want more writing this.. this restaurant is located inside the Redlands Public market, so it is food court style inside, plenty of open seating. Since it's the market I'm not to sure in parking, I lucked out and got parking right in front but idk where else you could park as the theater is directly in front and states no market parking.. anyways it was good! I would definitely be coming back. read more

I came here on a Monday around 2. It was a young kid working. Super rude. Wouldn't want to explain or give any recommendations to the menu. I ordered foood for my kid and waited about 30 min for my order. Keep in mind it was only me ordering. Food was not that great. Chicken has no seasoning. Fries tastes like it was refried. Not happy with the food or service read more

I visited on Wednesday night 4/23/25 after a long day at work all i wanted was some good chicken and let me say the food hit the spot and service was great! The ambiance of the market is great too! The only reason for 4/5 stars is because there was only one worker!! The market was extremely busy and despite a long line the person working was taking, making and handing out orders in a timely manner. He was doing the job of what should have been three people. Management do better!! And to the young man working, thank you very much for the delicious food and prompt service DESPITE the adverse circumstances you were put under. read more

Wow, the service is great! The staff here were incredibly attentive and explained everything to us wonderfully. I have to say, I thought the portions were supposed to be mini.... My husband and I ordered more food not realizing that they would be giving us such generous portions with such fresh food! I have never tried their loaded fries, but now that will be a staple in my diet! read more

Staff were friendly and the food was ready fairly quickly. It's located in a food hall, so you get a chance to try foods from all around. For Baba's Hot Chicken specifically, the food lived up to its spice. The medium was a good start for people who aren't used to the spice levels yet, but still has a bit of a kick. The girls helping us were also very sweet and cheerful. They made sure we were okay with everything on the sliders. The fries also came out super crispy and were loaded with coleslaw. A great place to go to when craving spicy chicken sandwiches. read more

Brenda and horacio provided good costumer service. The food overall was fire 10/10!l will come again in the future

What a letdown. Tried this place from another person's recommendation that it was amazing and it was not. Service was great - the gal taking my order was really nice and accomodating. I ordered the Mac & cheese loaded fries - medium spice level. Food didn't take long to be ready, so that was nice. The chicken was mid and the Mac and cheese was mid so together it was just mediocre all around. read more

A must try!!! 10 out of 5! The loaded fried are top tier! Get the fried pickles too! Fresh food. You won't be disappointed! Staff is amazing! Shout out to Brenda for helping me with the menu! read more

Food is an average, the french fries are from a frozen bag. They don't have complementary salt or pepper... sauces are $.75 and they're not even full in this small container. I will rather spend my money at Dave's hot chicken. save your money!! read more

First, Redlands market is happening. Nice to see. I ordered a chicken tender sandwich combo, and got the fried pickle spears instead of fries. These fried pickle spears are the best! batter stayed on the pickle. Pickles were delish, batter was delish. I like these way better than the chips, which seem typically to be more batter than pickle. These weren't like that. I'd go back just for the pickles. I wanted to order the "Extreme" sandwich but the told me I'd need to sign a waiver, sorry I don't sign waivers to eat lunch. So I went with "Hot" just below Extreme, expecting to have the sweats. Um, did I miss something? Not even the slighted heat. No biggy, the chicked was moist, and the pickles and slaw were especially good. They had cookies and they were tempting, but I'll try that next time. So, next time, I'll go back, order the Extreme and update this review. Glad their at the market. read more

If you're craving hot chicken with attitude and loaded fries to match, Baba's is a must try. Just maybe stick to medium heat unless you're a spice warrior. Juicy, flavorful chicken with real Nashville-style spice. Obsessed with the loaded fries--totally worth it. Customizable heat and combo deals are solid. Space gets crowded--expect a bit of chaos. If you go extreme, be ready for some serious spice! read more

Friendly and patient cashiers, and food is made to order, hot, and fresh. A great option that I have tried at another food hall, and excited to have them here in Redlands! Whether you like no spice/classic or make-you-cry spicy, this place is delicious. My go-to order is a 2-tender sandwich Medium. read more

Went here with high hopes and left disappointed. The soda was flat no syrup at all. Waited over an hour and a half for my food just for it to be mid. The pickles tasted like they were fried in dirty oil, the mac & cheese tasted like it came from a box, the sandwich was decent needs more sauce, the loaded fries is the only thing worth coming back for. For the price it's not worth it. Although the service of the workers was nice. read more

I've had Babas chicken sandwich for lunch a couple of times already. Their sandwich has been consistent, the chicken has been juicy and just full of flavor. Their staff was friendly and helpful when came the time to order, especially when I told them it was my first time. I went with the hot flavor and it was perfect. The sauce that they put inside the sandwich is magical. The portion was also big. I will be returning. read more

Imagine giving an almost 20% tip for an online pickup order placed over 30 mins ago to walk in and find that your order isn't ready yet but on top of that not even receive your full order (ordered 2 chicken tenders twice and expected to get 4) and get 3 instead of 4 tiny chicken tenders that costed a whopping $28 when all said and done; if you're going to charge this much at least give bigger portion sized tenders jfc; the ambiance of the redlands public market is great but if these restaurant businesses want to survive they need to work on better customer service and triple checking the order and promised time; the place wasn't even busy with any line visible either; very disappointed do not recommend at all; go spend your hard earned cash at cluck kitchen instead of this place read more

The food deserves a 5 star but the customer service is a harsh 2.5, amazing food always. Just went to the Redlands location at around 9:15 and they were already closed when it stated on the instagram and the buisness hours that they close at 10 bummer hopefully they fix that. Other than that best chicken sandwiches in the world. read more
