Chicken Boy at first sounds like a cheap knock of Popeyes or Church's Chicken. I was extremely skeptical about trying their chicken when the owner came out and introduced himself to me and immediately told me about the shop and if there was anything I need to let him know. He offered me a drink and extra sauce if I wanted. And regrettably I turned down his offer. The chicken nuggets were fantastic, crunchy, crispy and the chicken, super tender, juicy and hot. The ranch was phenomenal. Much better than any other synthetic slime that most fast food places put out. It was rich creamy and delicious. The slaw was good, but as coleslaw goes it was a bit lacking but I definitely won't that detract from the awesome food and service I received. Did I mention they were Gluten Free? Yeah the entire menu! Do it for yourself and try some awesome food! read more

I've been celiac for about a year now, and I've been craving fried chicken for so long. I happened to stumble across Chicken Boy while I was in Provo and decided to check it out. After reading that they're entirely gluten-free, I didn't have to worry at all about cross-contamination, which was such a relief. Their chicken is honestly some of the best I've had -- super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. You would never be able to tell it's gluten-free. The French fries are shoestring-style and taste amazing. Normally I'm not a big coleslaw fan, but this is probably one of the best coleslaws I've ever had. Their homemade ranch is on par with, if not better than, Wingstop ranch. On top of all that, the lady up front was incredibly helpful, greeted me with a smile, and answered all of my questions about the restaurant. Overall, such a great experience. read more

Update: visited a second time and the atmosphere is exactly the same. The ambience is "we shoved a food truck into a building"...they even still have you ordering on an IPad and no one greets you and there's no condiments or napkins anywhere. After paying $60 for some chicken strips and fries we were handed our food in to go containers and I actually found myself asking the girl "is it okay if we eat in here?" Because it is NOT a welcoming environment. I feel bad for the man who has put his heart and soul in these recipes because the restaurant experience itself highly takes away from them. I would have preferred to be eating out of a food truck honestly. For $10 I can go to Oliver's in Pleasant Grove and get beef tallow fried chicken and fries plus a decent sized drink. At Chicken Boy three chicken tenders by themselves cost $13 then it's extra for fries and a small drink. It's crazy pricey. Initial review: This place has the potential to be very good, it just feels like it was opened by people who don't have a lot of restaurant experience. Not a bad thing! Just temper your expectations when you first go in. The owner says they are still moving in decor and such so I'm sure the place will have a more welcoming vibe soon. As of right now it's a little odd inside. It doesn't feel inviting or like a place that wants you to stay and eat. There are no condiments on the tables or napkins and there's only one trash can that I could see. They even gave us the food in a to-go container with no other option. You place your order on a screen even though there is a young man just standing at the front counter when you get there. For a place with only one thing on the menu (that you can order in a couple different ways) you'd think a human could be trusted to take the order. It was off putting. Then you have to trek all the way to the back of the restaurant where the very nice owner will pour your drink from the fountain and give it to you. But then you have to go all the way back to the front to wait for your food. Like I said: clunky. Now the food: the owner says it's his recipe and I commend him because it is well done. It could use a little seasoning in the batter but it's very crispy and the pieces of chicken are large and juicy. It works as a perfect vessel for sauce. The sauces we ordered were fairly standard. Honey mustard was heavy on the mayo, bbq sauce was typical, but the spicy maple sauce had my husband wanting to go back for more. He loved that. The cole slaw was...eh...not good. The meal cost us $17.00 but it was enough chicken for the two of us to enjoy. All in all, I am happy to see a gluten free chicken place and I hope it does well! I will say that my husband and I will only come back again when I am in the mood to make GF waffles at home because this chicken would be AMAZING as chicken and waffles. But that may be the southerners in us. It would also be great served with a side of GF macaroni and cheese or potato salad. Maybe if the owner reads this he can take it into consideration for future menu iterations. read more

Really good chicken fingers. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. When I hear "gluten free" I often admittedly erroneously think "no flavor," but this place proved me wrong. Their sauces are fantastic. Service was top notch, checking on us making sure everything was good. read more

Listen. This is the best fried chicken out there. And it just so happens to be gluten free. They cook everything in beef tallow too so you don't leave feeling yucky from seed oils. I've seen people (myself included) wait hours for their chicken when they only had a food truck. Now they have a location. GO. You won't be disappointed. read more

Amazing chicken tenders. I have to eat gluten free but these chicken tenders are so juicy and delicious! Bbq sauce was our favorite and the fry sauce is also great with the fries. I wish they would add an online ordering system as well we're on a road trip and would have loved to just grab and go. The owner was super friendly We will definitely be back!! read more

This is soooo good! As someone with many food restrictions including wheat and dairy, it's so amazing to find safe food that's so good! All my friends and family love it as much as or more than non-gluten free food too! The staff take care of you and you can tell it's made with love read more

Really delsih tenders. This is the type of fried food I've been missing as a gluten free person, fried food that's giving state fair. The ranch does not taste like ranch, but the coleslaw does taste like coleslaw so that's an observation I had. The owner of the store ( I think) is the nicest man I've ever met and he wants to help you as much as he can. I wish the ranch was a little more normal, but dairy free people deserve ranch too read more

Best breaded fried chicken strips and nuggets we have had. Their Cole slaw was top notch. Better than other large chain chicken restaurants we have been to. The chicken tacos were first rate. read more

The food came out quick and was so good! The chicken tenders are a good size, hot, and very filling! The side of fries was huge and I loved the slightly sweet taste of the coleslaw that came with my tenders. Will definitely be coming back! I also plan to try their lemonade and cake next time. The space is nice with fun music and the employees are so helpful and nice. read more

It's like the perfect healthy alternative to KFC, per say. And the food is very filling and satisfying without feeling bloated afterward. And the inside atmosphere of the restaurant totally gives me Adventureland vibes. (as in Disneyland!) Not to mention it's a real jazz kitchen in there, I dig smooth jazz! read more

The best fried chicken! This is a gluten free facility and my husband does not have an allergy and said he prefers this over canes. I do have celiac and it was the best comfort food! I left feeling great, super safe place to eat AND somehow the chicken tenders and fries didn't leave me feeling heavy, just satisfied. The owners are also some of the kindest people! The owner that developed the recipes ran us out a specialty pumpkin spice cake to us for free as we were leaving. And both the owners were so friendly and truly wanted to provide great food and a great community! To sum it up great food and a great atmosphere! read more

This place is amazing! All gluten & dairy free. Plus their newly released chicken nuggets are fantastic!
