Important Note: With Red Light Chicken, one must manage their expectations. If I'm not wrong, they…read moreuse chicken breasts (white meat) rather than thighs (dark meat). The result is meat that is naturally less tender and moist. I was going to ding them until I realized this; thus, it's not a criticism, just the reality of the cut. Their menu is incredibly simple! There are some options available (e.g., sandwich as plain, hot, honey, honey-hot). They also have fries, nuggets, and cans of soda. This simplicity means they're able to specialize very well and make deliciousness! I ordered a sandwich, honey-hot, with the standard mayo and pickles. The chicken was hot and crisp with a thin layer of scrumptious crust. The meat was cooked well, especially given the nature of chicken breast. The honey wasn't overdone and gave a pleasant sweetness. The heat reminded me of Tabasco sauce; while respectable, and the acidity helped add a new flavor dimension, the heat was minimal for my palate. It would be nice if Red Light offered an extra-hot option. The pickles and mayo were in perfect amounts, and the bread was a fresh brioche. Bonus points for the sando not falling apart on me, as happens with places that stuff massive, lopsided thighs to look pretty on Instagram. The service was lightning quick! I had the sandwich in hand less than a minute after ordering. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and polite also. The value is great! In a world where everything costs an arm and a leg, $8 for a reasonably sized chicken sandwich is more than reasonable. Finally, there is no indoor seating whatsoever. There are, however, ample standing-room tables around, with one having overhead heaters. Thus, while not necessarily a destination, Red Light Chicken is a phenomenal neighborhood chicken shop!

Also, they ducked up my order last time and I don't notice until I got home. I called them and they were going to refund me, but I decided to drive back in and get it. They ended up comping the food that was missing and they threw in some more food that I ordered when there. It was their mistake and they did me right. I didn't ask for it but they did the right thing. They won my business. That's how you treat your customers.

Wow. We were blown away with how great this place was!…read more It seems like a good portion of their business is to-go, but we dined in recently and would happily go again. The portions are large (my burrito was giant!), the prices are competitive enough, the food is delicious, and the employees were all very nice. The space was very bright and clean. When you eat in, you're given chips and salsas for the table to start, which was a nice touch. Our meals (the aforementioned burrito and my husband's half chicken combo meal) took about 15 minutes to come out as everything is made to order. The chicken combo meal came with two sides (he went with the Mexican rice and beans), and also arrived with some grilled spring onions, a roasted jalapeño, and a full pack of locally made corn tortillas. Thankfully, it's 'help yourself' to-go containers because we definitely both ended up with leftovers. Afterwards, we were meeting up with some friends and immediately started recommending they check this spot out since they live nearby. We already can't wait to go again sometime soon!

We ordered the chicken bowl (without onion & cilantro) along with the chicken burrito. The food was so fresh but what stands out is how clean and light the food was.

It's such a bummer writing this review as the food is very good, but the ordering and delivery…read moreexperience is abysmal, as other people have noted in their reviews. We've ordered on numerous occasions and have been told an estimated delivery time, with the food not arriving for over an hour past the expected deadline. For instance, we ordered today at 5:30 pm, were given a 630 ETA and the food just arrived at 8 pm. We even called to ask about the delivery status, being told itll be to us "in 20 mins" and then taking another hour. We've also had this happen where the delivery ended up occurring after they closed, and they shut off their phones with complete disregard for the fact that we were still trying to track down our order (that evening we waited 3 hrs). I completely understand that you are busy, but that's not a proper excuse. You need to turn off your online ordering/uber eats/grubhub etc. when you're at maximum capacity (like all other restaurants that get busy too busy for online orders) or provide accurate wait times of 2+ hours.

The chicken sandwich itself was pretty disappointing not much flavor and definitely not worth the price. My friend said "he'd prefer McDonald's chicken over it". The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the waffle fries and lemonade were actually really good. But when the sides are the highlight, that kind of says it all. For nearly $30, I'd rather go to a sit-down spot on the pier and get more value for my money. Probably wouldn't come back here again.
