Since 1975 I've been coming here for their pizza, pasta, salads and broasted chicken. For the first time in 50 years I ordered the chicken Parmesan. It was delicious and I feel bad that I never had had it before. My wife and I shared it and a small and apostle salad and everything was terrific. Leticia was our server, and she was very good.

Ciabatta Chicken

After an absence of some 18 years since our first and only other visit to Chi Chi's, my wife suggested them for dinner tonight. That one prior visit was for takeout only and that was for a pizza which we thought had crust too thin for our liking. But one memory of Chi Chi's that has stayed with me all these years? Was a platter of their sizzling hot golden fried chicken as a waitress passed by with it, while we awaited our pizza. This was finally my chance to sample their Golden Pressure Fried Chicken, A La Carte; with Pressure Fried Potatoes and a Roll included. So that was my order to Raymon our server, as well as a lemonade. For her, it was a Ciabatta Chicken Sandwich. A very pleasant environment that has held up quite well through the years. Wait times can be a bit lengthy. But everything arrives piping hot and the large portion sizes help to justify the above average pricing. With half a chicken on my plate, I gladly shared. I finished two of my remaining pieces and saved one for lunch the following day. The verdict? Not bad, I must admit. Very well seasoned, almost on the verge of being overly. But okay. The pressured potatoes weren't bad either; I may have finished 1 1/2 of the I believe initial 4. While wifey just managed nearly half of her sandwich. Also lunch for tomorrow. Raymon was very responsive to our every request. And always with a delightful attitude. Even offering to refill my glass of lemonade. We could learn to put Chi Chi's in our mix. Why not? We've been regularly passing them by all these years, being that they're so close to home.

This is a large less four pieces

See the picture of the pizza on the right? Now that's a pizza. The toppings are exposed not buried

Cheers wine and gluten free pizza

Been going to this restaurant my whole life! Well known in SCV for being a great Italian place, comfortable, welcoming, and most of the servers have been there forever and know you! All of the food is fresh, you can watch the open kitchen roll out pizza dough and cook. Fantastic for groups, families, dates etc. the portions are generous, come and get some wine or a pitcher of beer and pizza! I love their gluten free pizza, but all of their salads, pastas, and fried thicken is famous amongst my friends and family.

The ingredients are worse and less and they raised the prices to far. The food doesn't taste like the same and a large salad is $21.00.

I love their fried potatoes!! They have the fried chicken batter on them and are super crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside.

Just ordered for pick up around 8pm on a Monday night. Saw…read moretheir Happy Hour all day ad on insta. .. So glad I did! Prices seemed too good to pass up. We've dined in before but that was a long time ago & I couldn't recall the experience. Anyhow, husband made some bomb sticky rice the day before and since we had no ideas for what to make tonight, this sounded like a great solution! I highly recommend this deal! I ordered the 1lb head on shrimp. Daddy sauce. Mild. It was perfectly cooked and very tasty. At first I thought it was too spicy, after a few, I realized it was the perfect amount of spice. The portion was plentiful. Husband had the fish po' boy with garlic fries and said it was great. Total was $31 including tax.

I am beyond disappointed and honestly disturbed by my experience at this restaurant…read more My seafood order was mistakenly delivered to another table. That table opened the dish and ate some of the rice. Instead of immediately discarding the entire plate and remaking the meal, the server brought the same dish back to me after realizing the mistake. I was told "they didn't touch it," which was completely untrue. Once food has been served to another table and opened, it should NEVER be given to another guest -- especially seafood. This is basic food safety. The fact that this was even debated is alarming. There was no compensation, no manager intervention, and no real accountability -- just a casual apology. Only the rice was replaced, which does not resolve the fact that the rest of the dish had already been handled and served elsewhere. This was not a minor mistake; it was a serious hygiene and professionalism failure. I should not have to question whether my food is safe to eat. Serving food that has already been eaten by another table isn't just careless -- it's unsafe, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.

We don't get here that often but wanted burgers this weekend and I didn't want to have to get all…read morethe ingredients and make them Ordering is easy online then I can just go pick it up The burgers are still very tasty and great quality ingredients for a decent price. Fries are tasty too / this time I did take out - they did not transport great but let's face no fries do There was generous toppings in the burgers and they were done correctly - I made a modification - no ranch on my burger and it was made right. Mushrooms hit the spot and were nicely sautéed Service is always very nice and we enjoyed our burgers and were able to support a small local business

I got go with DJ A's review…read more Look, there's an issue. One person there, took forever for me and my brothers burger and no one else was there. We both agree that the burgers lacked basic salt or some type of seasoning. Plus, others have mentioned the frozen patty thing. OK, owner, don't get defensive, even if your burger meat is fresh and not frozen, they are hard and tasteless. Not sure if the owner ( only guy running the place ) is willing to take constructive criticism but if you're not getting repeat customers, you know why! Two people, simple burgers, one fry and one drink and it was almost $40 (included tip) Good luck Wanted Grill, get help in the kitchen or move to a Food Truck and good luck with the business in these times, there is potential with that place!

The spicy I'd say was like a 3 out of 5 in heat, but a 5 out of 5 in flavor. A touch of sweet to cut the heat. I've had some spicy k-fried chicken wear my lips burned for an hour lol, this one is palatable and delicious! The soy ginger is salty goodness, perfect for someone who wants to venture a step beyond the Classic Crunch. My personal choice for next time would be the fries over the Korean style street corn. If you've had esquites from your local street vendor, you'll feel the same. The portions here are hella generous for the price; lunch special is $11.99 for a variety of chicken combos and a side. I appreciate the choice of bottled or soda machine for my soda; I'm a bottle person. They have Pepsi for your carbonated needs. The crunch on this chicken is something special. Particularly on the legs. It gives the full ASMR experience! The female cashier was super welcoming and helpful. We were hesitant on what flavor to choose, and she offered a two flavor split. She also noticed my wife didn't order a drink and offered a water cup. It's the little things, but oftentimes I have to ask for basic necessities. The restaurant has several booths or regular table seating. The atmosphere is fun and exciting, just like the chicken! The cashier kept it moving as well, making sure the restaurant was clean and checking on all the customers. For the out of towners making a pit stop but want something special for the road, or a local in need of some comfort food, this is the spot. It's not quite as fast as "fast food" (crispy chicken takes time), but it is oh so worth the teensy wait!

I had ordered it specifically for myself, while the rest was for my family. However, I didn't go back since it would have been a waste of time. I originally wanted to leave a 3-star review because I was quite disappointed, but I decided to be fair and reasonable. I have to mention that the chicken was perfectly cooked Everything was very tasty, and it's definitely a 5-star quality meal overall. Still, the experience left a bad impression, so I'm giving 4 stars. Please be more careful when preparing orders.
