Came close to close yesterday. Best service- dude was chill,offered to turn on heaters for us, joked around. Professional and friendly. Food slapped so hard my mother's chancla got jealous. Type of siht that earns a customer for life read more

Stopped by for the chicken sandwich combo and ordered the medium spice level, specifically asking for no pickles and no cheese. Unfortunately, my sandwich arrived with both pickles and cheese, which is always a little disappointing when the order only had two modifications. As for the heat level, "medium" was more of a polite suggestion than an actual spice level. Without the sauce, there wasn't much kick to speak of. The bright spot was the chicken tenders. The chicken itself was juicy, and the breading was lighter than expected--not overly thick or heavy like some hot chicken places. I also tried the churro, which seems to have quite a following. Maybe I caught it on an off day, but mine was dense, greasy, and much heavier than I expected based on other reviews. Overall, it wasn't bad, but it also didn't quite live up to the hype. For hot chicken, I think Dave's Hot Chicken does a better job with both flavor and consistency. Even Chick-fil-A tends to be more reliable when it comes to getting the order right. Not rushing back, but not swearing it off either. read more

Good! Why did I cross the road? To get to the chick next door:) As advertised let's start backwards must try the vanilla churros, yes yes yes... The chicken soooo perfectly crisp yet tender inside oh my taste buds... The slaw just perfectly pillowed over the chicken and buns so soft they must be baked fresh. The drinks and loaded fries forget about it, Go go go! Thank You, Ruben PS NO PUBLIC BATHROOM!!! read more

Always a pleasant experience getting the fries here. Im not the biggest fan of sauces but theirs is tolerable. I enjoy the mac n cheese and the seasoning on the fries is delicious. Wish they were open until even later read more

Impulsively stopped in for lunch, as this restaurant always seems to be busy. I ordered the Number One chicken slider with fries combo. The chicken slider consists of one piece of chicken on a brioche roll with condiments including pickles and coleslaw. The combo comes with a generous portion of fries and sauces. I ordered the Seasonal Lemonade (Watermelon), which was refreshing and not too sweet. Everything was fresh and tasted just fine. However, $18 for lunch and a drink is a bit pricey for the portion size, which is not uncommon these days. Casual ambiance; you can eat in or take out. Service was helpful and friendly. Small parking lot and street parking available. read more

Not bad at bad place for chicken tenders, but nothing really stands out to be quite honest. Menu is pretty simple. It's tenders, chicken sandwiches and fries. You can adjust the levels of heat as well, and it goes all the way up to bonfire-in-your-mouth. I got the medium and it had zero heat. I'd recommend anything above that if you like a little spice. The sandwiches are actually sliders with the tenders inside and you can get them with fries. If I come here next time, I'd probably just go with the tenders as they give you more meat for your buck. As for the fries, just basic shoestring. Mine were a bit overcooked, yet didn't have much crisp at all. Came with a spicy mayo dip that they put in the sliders as well. Seats are all outdoor, but at least covered. Probably best to just grab and go. Not sure if I'd come back as there are just too many options out there for fried chicken. read more

First time back here in about a year. Used to come all the time but moved away. I ordered and showed up at minimum 5-ish minutes later. I didn't expect the food to be ready but when I walked up to the counter no one acknowledged me or even noticed me. Only two workers and the guy at the register was on his phone! I waited then finally had to catch his attention. The other guy came from the back and was like "oh we just got it"... no you didn't. I saw the ticket hanging from the machine. Too busy on your phones not actively working. I looked around and the tables were messy, the chairs were sloppy and the trash was over flowing. If you don't have customers, you should be using the down time to make the restaurant clean for the customers. To make matters worse, they had inventory sitting in boxes in the back parking lot. My partner was sitting in the car waiting for me and she saw MICE running around the boxes and one came out the back door! Geez, what happened to this place? The A can't be correct. This is a far cry from the experiences I used to have here. The food tasted great, the patio was clean, and the workers were always so fast and friendly... what happened? I really hope the quality of the food is the same. We'll see... Update: Food was delicious, as always read more

Chick Next Door is a local Fried Chicken place nestled on Chevy Chase and Glenoaks in Northeastern Glendale. They offer decent light, spicy hot chicken at a reasonable price. Our family got as takeout a slider, three tenders, and fries. The tenders were decent, lightly battered, juicy, and accompanied by a spicy peppery dipping sauce. Aside from being light they were good but nothing unique nor mind blowing. Following was the slider, a slightly larger tender topped with tangy slaw and sauce on a slightly sweet bun. Again great but not mind blowing. The sauce was a little too spicy for my liking, with the pepper overpowering the other flavors. Better to leave the spice on the chicken so your sauce consumption isn't limited by your spice tolerance. Fries were good and well seasoned, but not exceptional, and the Mac and cheese appropriately al dente with a decent sauce while not overly heavy. Service was reasonably fast (wait time 5 minutes). The outside area was relatively clean but spartan, and not especially inviting. Perhaps it was the time of day, but this place is better served for takeout. Prices were reasonable (see photo) but not exceptional. Chick Next Door promises what its name suggests; local, decent fried chicken. Good if you're in the area and want a relatively light, tasty bite, but not worth a detour. Food: 4/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Value: 4/5 read more

Stopped by here since I was in the area and needed to grab a lunch. Parking is hit and miss. Depending on time/day, there is a shared parking lot next door. Otherwise there's some street parking. Order from the window and either get to go or there's a small patio area to eat there. I got a combo 1 - slider and fries. Be aware that these are sliders so one may not be filling. Taste wise the slider was okay. Had decent flavor and crunch but not the best I've had. The fries were pretty good. Good crunch and flavor. The sauce they provide went well with the fries. It had a little bit of a spice. Personally I wouldn't make the trek out here just for the chicken slider, but everyone has their personal preference on how a Nashville chicken sandwiches should be. read more

Was up in Angeles Crest for a photoshoot and decided to stop by Chick Next Door for some food. Ordered the slider / tender combo and Steve's Fries. Ordered through the website while I was on my way here to save some time and my order was ready about a minute after I arrived. Friendly workers offered extra sauce and utensils, cool little dining/waiting area as well. Parking area extremely small be prepared to park on the street or make your own parking space Unfortunately the spice levels were very inconsistent. If the spice levels were better, this spot can definitely be a 5/5 for me. Slider 3/5 Mild Heat level. Tasted naked but the coleslaw was a nice touch, nice and juicy chicken with crunchy breading, would definitely order again Tender 3/5 Medium heat level. Once again tasted naked, no heat whatsoever. Juicy chicken and crunchy breading though, would definitely order again regardless of it not being spicy Fries 4/5 These fries remind me of rally's fries. Absolutely love the fries here, would definitely recommend plain fries over Steve's fries. Steve's Fries 2.5/5 I personally would stick to their tenders or sliders combos and have plain fries over these fries. Maybe it was due to the lack of heat from the chicken but these fries were just okay. read more

Pretty solid spot. Excellent customer service, good food, cute location. The spice is NOT spicy enough for me so next time I'll do the don't chicken out option EZPZ. I did the combo 4 and the supreme fries, and while everything was good just expect smaller than typical portions. BUT, it is really good. The chicken was fried to a golden crisp, but the tender was a little small. The components of the actual supreme fries are okay on their own but definitely magic when combined. Anyways, this spot is yum! read more

Chick Next Door Hot Chicken - Supreme Fries 2 Sliders + Fries (Combo 2) - Chicken Shop Near Me - Glendale, California

WHAT A FIND!!! So decided to try Chick Next Door and BAM!!! Was beyond a pleasant surprise! Chicken tender(s), (bet you can't eat just one!) were in the top 5 in the City! They were moist, breaded perfectly, tender and juicy! That's rare with so many spots doing the same, BUT, these were a step beyond! They comped me a slider which was an 7.5, so I was stoocked with the Tenders! Fries and Tea were top also, TOTALLY HOMEMADE sauces and dips too! Priced right and hours perfect for my lifestyle! Got a new Go-To and highly recommend this clean and pleasant establishment. read more

Came here for takeout based on a friend's enthusiastic review, and I was sadly underwhelmed. The chicken sandwiches were quite good, and we were very pleased with those menu items. We got a variety of spice levels to try them out, which also made for a fun game. It's a good thing we did, too, because the spice level was a little milder than we'd expected for a hot chicken spot. Still, an enjoyable menu item! And now we know what spice level we like. The tenders, unfortunately, were all overcooked and unpleasantly rubbery, almost as if someone dropped them in the fryer and got distracted? Most restaurants set timers or alarms, but they were clearly amiss this time. Adding insult to injury, the fries were cold, which made them inedible (who wants to eat cold fries??). That was deeply disappointing, because my friend specifically raved about the fries. Parking is limited, so if you're getting takeout, be sure to go with a spouse / friend so you can just pop out while your spouse / friend takes the car around the block. read more

We want to give a shout-out to the owner and the staff at Chick Next Door for always serving delicious food and providing great service! We really appreciate how kind and friendly you are! Your warm and welcoming service makes every experience even better. Thank you for the delicious food and for always being so kind! read more

I really wanted to like this place and support a local business but their food fell flat for me unfortunately. The fries are way too salty. I ordered ahead and still had to wait. About 10 minutes to get my food. My main issue was the chicken nuggets which it seems like they're batter has no spice in it so it just taste like flour. These were probably the worst chicken nuggets I've ever had. I appreciate that the chicken is Halal, but that does not mean you can skimp on flavor. I suggest the owners revamp their recipe and look into adding some spice to the batter. The chicken is just so bland. read more

Quick and to the point. No crazy menus and they have a good heat meter. My son loved the country style tenders. read more

Chick Next Door Hot Chicken - Slider and fries. Very tasty. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Glendale, California

This review is specifically for the churros. Fantastic. We ordered late at night and it was perfect

Stopped by for a quick bite. Picked up 3 tender meal mild with fries. It's hard to gauge flavor and spice with some chicken spots, some places medium is the best while others it's too spicy. Some places medium mild is too bland. We tried mild here and it was a little bland. The chicken itself was tasty and juicy but lacked a little spice and flavor. Maybe medium is the way to go here. If I'm in the area might check it out again. Staff were friendly. The location is a take out window with only outdoor seating. Everything is halal which is a plus. read more

Place is solid man. Good tender chicken, always fried right and better than Dave's. Support local and stop by. The staff are sometimes meh- but they're kids. They do a pretty good job of cooking though read more

Local fave since COVID time and I frequently come back here to eat their delicious food! Nice breeze and vibe. But food quality is inconsistent recently: sometimes I get cold bread (as if just taken out from fridge) on hot chicken, chicken very overcooked, fries lacking seasoning. I still love their food regardless, but it will be all the more delicious if food quality was consistent. read more

Came on a Saturday afternoon and there were a few people there. The parking lot is VERY small so we parked on the street. It was a small place with some seating on the side walk and some seating semi outside. We got the Steve's Fries and I would say it was good but not amazing. The sauce was REALLY good, the chicken and fries paired well. The only thing was that the Mac and cheese lacked flavor. read more

I was thrilled to find these delicious chicken sliders!!! I was driving by this cute little neighborhood. I ordered the chicken sliders with fries. It was the perfect size and absolutely delicious. The fries were seasoned perfectly and nice and HOT right out of the fryer!!! They were so friendly and patient as I stared at their menu trying to decide I wanted for dinner.. Brought the food home and it was seriously delicious. I'm so glad I decided to give them a try. Do your self a favor and give them a try read more

Chick Next Door Hot Chicken - Strawberry Seasonal Lemonade - Chicken Shop Near Me - Glendale, California

I genuinely don't understand the hype about this place. I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was honestly one of the worst meals I've had in a while. The chicken was unbelievably greasy and somehow still managed to have zero flavor. It literally tasted like oily nothing. The menu proudly says "jumbo tenders," which is honestly a joke because what they gave me was tiny. Calling those jumbo is straight up false advertising. I've seen bigger chicken tenders in kids meals. And the sandwich bun? Smaller than my hand. The whole thing looked sad and thrown together like no one even tried. For what they charge, the quality is seriously embarrassing. I wasted my money, and left hungry because I threw away half my food. I didn't even bother complaining to the staff because I didn't want to be arguing over a chicken sandwich. Sorry to say such a shitty place . Never returning. read more

First time trying and didn't live up to the expectations I had for it based on the reviews online. Fries: way too salty Sauce: overpowering garlic flavor Chicken: dry with areas undercooked, and overwhelming batter to chicken ratio Heat level: the extra hot was 1/10 on the spiciness scale for me I would not order again sorry guys read more

Waited 10 minutes just to order, mind you there was no line. Ordered mild supreme fries & country steve fries. Both were wrong, I received 2 Steve fries. One was labeled country ( it was hot) other labeled mild ( had no spice). The worker said they will fix it, after 10 minutes we got the wrong order again (Steve fries were hot and supreme fries had no spice whatsoever) but i finally got supreme fries. If you like to receive wrong order then this place is for you. read more

This chicken is to die for great idea. Whoever came up with this recipe. The service here is amazing. Excellent customer service. All associates, greeting me with a smile, Joseph and Lalo not to mention, the place was completely spic & span clean. I highly recommend this restaurant 5 stars T-Mobile Chris. read more

Lately, I feel like this place is a hit or miss. This is second time in a two month span that I come and the food is a miss. Today the fries were not good. The were super greasy, and had soggy consistency. The taste as if they had either been sitting for a long time or had been refried once they were fried to heat them up. They were also cold which makes no sense. The chicken was okay but It taste a bit dry and that all In all is disappointing. read more

The food was delicious! The fries had the "perfect"crunch and the chicken was juicy and crispy! Their house sauce was good. Took about 15 minutes for the food and they cook it fresh! They have a pretty cozy and spacing outside eating area as well. We got the "extra hot" jumbo tender and the "hot" slider. Personally, we are heat seekers and the extra hot for me tasted similar to a medium restaurant salsa read more

The fries are bomb it's so crispy and the sauce is amazing. Also the yellow seating place is very cute

I came here about a month ago and I got myself the slider combo with mac n cheese on the side and I can honestly say I wasn't impressed and the only thing that I enjoyed eating was the fries, which was well seasoned. The portion size of the sliders are small and not filling. I was still hungry after, but the service was quick even with two people working upon arrival. read more

Food is 5/5 but service is hit or miss and mostly a 3/5. One of my favorite go to places! Chicken sandwiches are delicious, fries are so crispy, comeback sauce is perfection, and their Steve's fries are bomb! (I get Mac & cheese and comeback sauce on the side to keep fries from getting soggy). Place has covered outdoor patio seating area, sometimes music is blasting or too loud but no biggie. Love how late they're open because most places in the area aren't. We usually take food to go and it travels well. I honestly only go for the food but it would help if they improved customer service to be more consistent. I never know what I'm in for with Staff here and it kinda sucks and makes you not want to go. Sometimes they're super nice and will even go as far as offer you complimentary drinks or churros and have great customer service. Other times it's just the polar opposite. I've had incidents where they've yelled "WE DON'T HAVE HONEY!" at the top of their lungs after a simple ask for honey, hah! Could've been a bad day for the dude at the register but its always an extreme at this place. I've had other incidents where I get tons of eye rolling and treated like I'm a huge burden for asking for ketchup. Ketchup should be a normal ask. Maybe a customer service refresher course? I don't know what they need but I know management/ Steve is always kind If we happen to be served by him. UPDATE: Went a few weeks ago and was finally offered ketchup and honey without being scolded, great friendly service thank you! Went today and it was the rude service. Overall I have to question if I'll go as often, I still love their food, it would be 5 stars if their workers were more consistent. read more

This place slings some solid tendies. The fries are...cut potatoes. But those tendies. They have a crunchy bite and the seasoning is fire. They tend to run a bit on the mild side so bit the Hot for decent kick. There is a hot tendie challenge and you have to sign a waiver. Maybe a bit over the top. Get the Steve's Fries and a diet pop. Done. read more

I've been coming here for years, back when it was called Trap Fried Chicken, and it's still one of my favorite spots. My friends and I are completely addicted to Steve's Fries--it's hands down the best way to enjoy Nashville hot chicken. The chicken itself has a great spice to it, and the fries are my favorite anywhere--yes, even better than McDonald's (and I love McDonald's fries). The Chick Sauce is the real star of the show. It's somewhere between a chipotle aioli and a comeback sauce, and it's easily the best sauce I've had for this type of food. Pro tip: do NOT eat this with ranch--always go for the Chick Sauce. For spice levels, I recommend medium or hot--anything higher might be too much unless you're into serious heat. The mac and cheese is also a standout and one of my favorites. I've tried their chicken sandwiches, and while they're decent, I'd choose the fries every time. The strawberry lemonade is a skip for me, but their churros are solid--though, let's be real, it's hard to mess up a churro. I've met the owner, Steve, a few times, and he's a very nice guy. The staff here are also extremely friendly and make the experience even better. Overall, this spot nails it for Nashville hot chicken and fries, and I'll keep coming back for more! read more

For an on the fly decision I couldn't have stopped at a better place. Small staff that provided excellent service and the food my daughter is still talking about a week later.
