I know we've got Raisin' Canes popping up all over the place now in central Florida and I still prefer to come here every single time I want to indulge in a cheat meal. The service is always great; the food is always outstanding. I love that I can shamelessly order a kid's meal because it's the perfect amount of food for me personally. It's small space with only a couple of tables, and I've always had to wait in a rather long line to order but I already go in expecting that so it's not a bother to me. I always like to give a cash tip to the person who's calling out names and handing out food. They work hard and have to deal with all kinds of personalities. Can't wait ti'll next time. read more

Chicken Fire - Slider Box - Chicken Shop Near Me - Orlando, Florida

We tried Chicken Fire in Orlando and absolutely loved it. We ordered the chicken with no heat, and while it truly wasn't spicy at all, it was incredibly flavorful--exactly how they describe it: soulful, not spicy. They offer heat levels ranging from no heat all the way to extra extreme spicy, which is great for everyone, whether you love spice or avoid it like we do. The crinkle-cut seasoned fries are seriously the move. Perfectly crispy, perfectly seasoned, and so good. We didn't try the spicy fries since we don't like heat, but if they're anything like the regular ones, I'm sure they're amazing. The chicken tenders were huge, juicy, and perfectly coated--fried to a crunchy, golden crisp. Not spicy at all, just like we asked, and packed with flavor. Exactly what we were hoping for. The staff was extremely nice, and I really appreciated the tablet ordering system at the front and the text notification when your order is ready--super easy and efficient. Located near downtown Orlando by the Mills 50 District, this place is a hidden gem. The shopping center might not look like much, but trust me--you're going to want to eat here. The menu is very reasonably priced, with tons of options, whether you want a full box or just individual tenders. We will definitely be coming back. If you're in Orlando, don't skip this spot. read more

I saw this place looking for restaurants near me, and my first thought was meat and fire is good! However, fire is in reference to the hot sauce, not the cooking method. Despite that, I gave them a try, and wasn't dissapointed. I read that they have huge chicken tenders. They were quite large. I got a hot box, which is two tenders, fries and slaw. I got one tender mild and one meek. Meek is nice, just a bit of flavor. Mild was a bit warm... I'd say a normal medium. Fair warning... it starts slow but builds. The fries were seasoned with sweet paprika and were nice. The folks were nice and ordering is on a kiosk. I'd definitely suggest giving it a try if you are looking for tenders. read more

Chicken Fire - Half eaten hot box. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Food still tastes incredible. Employees are still friendly and helpful. Portion sizes seemed to have decreased and prices seemed to have increased, but this is expected over time/inflation-- I'm willing to pay this price for food this good. Chicken Fire is one of my top recommendations in Orlando. I brought two tourist-friends, and they both understood my love for this restaurant after trying the chicken. read more

This place was ok. The food was hot when we ordered just not fresh and not as flavorful as some of the other chicken spots in the area but it was decent. The location was fairly small inside, not much of an appeal to look at but the staff were polite and helpful. The cost is very comparable to the competition but if they revamp the inside and added a bit more flavor to the chicken it would go a long way. read more

Fantastic! Service and food! Closed Monday and Tuesday so kept missing them. Soooo worth the wait. Chicken was cut fresh from the breast and tasted amazing! Love the sneaking heat. My first time so I was chicken. Owner suggested my heat. Great bunch of people work here including veterans. Felt welcomed immediately! Music playing in the background. Tables wiped off with disinfectant. Very impressed. Was just at the VA Lake Baldwin and the veterans recommended it. Will be back. Very impressed. read more

Quick, friendly, SPICY I'm not sharing anything other people haven't already said, but I have to add that Chicken Fire has never disappointed. Sometimes it can take awhile for the food to be ready, but I appreciate that my food comes out hot and tasty. The prices are bit high for the amount of food you get, but I'm usually good with a Kid Box because the spice hits hard. Interior is minimal with some limited seating. This is more of a grab and go spot. read more

I used to love Chicken Fire at their old location, so when I spotted this one while grocery shopping, I had to stop. The location is conveniently located at 50 and Bumby in the iFresh plaza, just short of the Mills area that can get a little trickier to park. I remembered it being super hot, so I played it safe with the meek and mild expecting a lot less heat. A slight mistake, because it was a bit bland and both tasted the same with no kick at all for the mild. It wasn't quite as good as I remembered, but I'm looking forward to giving it another shot at a higher spice level. Still tasty, especially with their dipping sauce. The only knocks for me were inconsistent tender sizes between boxes (one had giant tenders, the other had a wimpy one) and the fries being extra heavy/crispy (almost double-fried), which might be a plus for some. The fry seasoning was amazing, though. Overall still a solid option that is affordable and filling...just order hotter than I did. read more

I ordered the Hot Box with salted fries, and it was quite tasty! I appreciated having the option to choose between seasoned or just salted fries. The portion size was generous, though I think the breading could have been a bit better, and the fries could have used more salt. Service was quick and there was plenty of seating. The decor wasn't anything special. read more

Chicken Fire - Hot Box - Chicken Shop Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I heard from the Florida locals that Chicken Fire is the place to go for hot and spicy chicken. This place did not disappoint at all! It's a small restaurant with limited seating, so you can either grab a table inside or take your food to go. The way you order is via the kiosks at the front and you have the ability to customize or add any modifications your order as needed. I came roughly an hour before closing on a weekday so it only took a few minutes to get our food. Now, even though we did specify in our slider box that both sliders should have different heat levels, it did seem like both sliders had the same medium level while one should have been at a hot level. The sliders themselves are served on brioche buns which I totally love and with pickles, a signature sauce and coleslaw. It's a little messy to eat due to the toppings and the sauce spilling out, but if you're ok with that it shouldn't matter too much. The chicken is massive so even though it's called a slider, it actually is a pretty sizable sandwich. The meat is cooked perfectly and it remains juicy without feeling dry. The heat preparation is a dry seasoning so you can really see the vibrant red color based on the heat level you choose. If you have good spice tolerance, you should actually be fine with medium level or up if you dare! I highly recommend coming here for great chicken, crispy fries and a good time to laugh with your loved ones about handling the spice! read more

Chicken Fire is no joke as fire is in the name. We came and ordered two hot boxes and a kids box. So happy I opted for the kids box as it was a giant piece of chicken and fries still. The seasoning they add to their crinkle fries is delicious and sweet. The chicken spice levels vary I ordered the soulful which was sweet and nothing spicy at all. The other two boxes were medium and hot spicy levels. Which definitely had some heat to them. Service is friendly and helpful. You order at the kiosk and all food comes out Togo style. read more

First time here today with my friend and we were pleasantly surprised. These chicken tenders are HUGE. Fries were perfectly seasoned. I think they should offer a secret sauce that is more salty (like Magoo dip), but the chicken quality was great. Service was TOP NOTCH, and they were so helpful with helping us navigate the menu. Its def a mom and pop vibe; andvery comfortable. read more

I got the Munch Box with the MEDIUM heat. The chicken was cooked to perfection. And I was really happy the sandwich had a nice, small kick of heat to it (my spice tolerance is very high so other people might find it too spicy). The French fries had a really good amount of seasoning and were cooked well. The sauce was delicious and went well with the sandwich and fries. It is similar to Canes sauce! The fries had almost a slight BBQ taste to them. So good !! I ordered off of Uber Eats because I was visiting and didn't have a car. It took about 1hr & 30 minutes for the food to be delivered, which I think is a little too long. Also, if you're ordering to-go, I'd recommend putting the Cole slaw on the side. By the time it arrived, the bottom bun was very soggy and off putting. I could only imagine how much better it would be if the bun wasn't soggy. Overall, one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've ever had! For the amount of food you get and the price, would recommend this to everyone!! read more

What a gem of a restaurant in the heart of the colonial mall area. They serve hot chicken in three different options and can vary the spice level to your desire (5 Choices). Food is cooked to order so it can take some time when it's busy. Quality and taste were very good. Seating can be limited, so try to avoid peak hours. Overall would come back. read more

O M G!!! I am a native Floridian... I actually grew up 2 miles away from this location on E. Colonial Dr.. a friend wanted to go here for her birthday so I said OK a new experience for both of us! I ordered the kids box so I could try it.... The sauce I picked was no heat. BEST CHICKEN I'VE EVER HAD IN ORLANDO!!!! Seriously, the flavor the crunchy texture. Absolutely the best chicken in Orlando Orlando. !!! I was not a fan of the coleslaw. It's more on the vinegar side. I like mine on the sweet side. Perhaps they could offer for both kinds.! as far as drinks there are no cups or ice. You just have to get a drink out of the cooler and honestly it must've been restocked recently because the Coke zero wasn't very cold.. doesn't matter doesn't affect my rating of a perfect 10 out of 10 because the food is off the hook. I can't wait to go back. It's very small inside no real decor just a painting on the wall and a few tables and metal chairs. Doesn't matter it is worth the wait and or get it to go DoorDash was constantly in this place.!! Like I said, I can't wait to go back . read more

Been trying to get here for awhile- finally made it . Interesting setup - order at a kiosk - the chicken can be spicy - I got mild and it would be hot or extra hot elsewhere.

Chicken Fire is an excellent example of not need a large menu to be a successful business! They have a handful of items on their menu and they do them all extremely well! From the moment I walked in, I was treated with great hospitality! The team was very friendly and made me feel very welcomed. The restaurant is a "hole in the wall" a small space with big personality! I got the fries with the signature Soulful sauce. By far the best fries in Orlando! They were crinkle cut and perfectly crispy while having a soft interior. The seasoning on them reminded me of VooDoo chips. Their Soulful dipping sauce was like a more flavorful Kanes sauce! I'll definitely be back! read more

I've been here multiple times before and ordered takeout with my out of towner friend. The order was ready on time. He agreed that this was the best Nashville hot chicken he's ever had and the portion size was more than enough. This restaurant is on the top of my list to take guests to. Highly recommend! read more

I love me some Chicken Fire! This is a spot that my coworkers and I go to at least once a week for some delicious chicken tenders! They have various different levels of heat that are hotter than what your typical mild heat would be! For myself personally I get the kid box which is one jumbo chicken tenders with fries and a side of ranch at meek level heat. Meek has just enough kick where the food is still flavorful! Sometimes when I'm feeling brave I will get the hot x but that's something I can only have a few bites of. The team here is always so friendly and welcoming and overall just great people to chat to while waiting for food. If you haven't tried this place out you are for sure missing out! read more

Best friend chicken in Orlando, at least from what I've tried. Love the heat, crunchiness, sauces, and fries are always gas. It is pretty casual so you're gonna be doing self service with an iPad. The only downside is that there is no free water :( read more

The food was awesome, people were nice and helpful, and it was just an overall great experience!

Great quick service restaurant that has great chicken tenders and fries for a great price. Food is extremely fresh and delicious. The restaurant itself is small and really doesn't sit more than 30 people. I ended up ordering the hot tenders and worked up a sweat. I've had Nashville hot chicken from the likes of Hattie B's and this Hot flavor may be spicier than theirs for reference. I was still happy with what I ended up eating and can't wait to go back and eat there again! read more

Picked up some food from here, upon arriving it was very busy but my order was ready! My husband and I went to a park to eat the food but unfortunately they forgot the utensils and napkins (I requested them on the app) so it wasn't the most pleasant experience eating since we couldn't wipe our hands or eat the cole slaw since we didn't have utensils. The chicken was literally FIRE and tasted sooo good. The fries were perfectly seasoned and the sauce was AMAZING. I will say, a 2 oz sauce container is definitely not enough for 2 jumbo chicken tenders and fries, so next time I'll be getting another. Also- the bread was a little disappointing since it was just a piece of white bread all smushed on the bottom of my chicken box. Overall the food was delicious and we will be returning, I will just be checking my bag before leaving and getting 2 sauces. read more

Wow, so good! If you like fried chicken tenders this is the place for you! Several heat levels for everyone. The tenders were big, plump, juicy, and freshly fried to order. The batter was tasty and crunchy. The hot box comes with seasoned fries or plain salted, and coleslaw which was delicious! Fresh and crunchy and perfectly seasoned! Also, some bread to soak up the chicken juices and 2 pickle slices that were crisp and refreshing. The place itself is devoid of nice atmosphere but the staff was super friendly and efficient. Highly recommend! read more

Is Chicken Fire fancy? No. Does it need to be? Also, no. Does Chicken Fire serve delicious, juicy, and tender chicken, you bet your chicken butt it does. The service is limited as you order for yourself on a tablet device but there is someone behind the counter to help if needed. The inside reminds me of greasy spoon you would see in Chicago, plain and unassuming. The chicken is packed with flavor and potentially packed with pure lava. Think Minecraft Movie lava chicken. You can pick your spice level and I highly recommend going a level below where your ego thinks you want to order. A member of my party who loves super spicy food and had no problems doing the Hit Ones challenge or the one chip challenge only made it through half of the chicken sandwich and was sweating profusely. We saved the other half I thought if I had it on salad with ranch it would tone it down. I was mistaken. It somehow still engulfed my mouth in a tingling burn. Only order the hottest sauce if your mouth is immune to heat. Don't let that discourage you from going though, like I said super tasty and juicy chicken just be wary of the heat. read more

The chicken here is awesome. I like spicy food, and they don't mess around with the heat. It's got real flavor and real kick. I paired mine with honey, and that combo was brilliant. The place is simple and straight forward. The people running it are just awesome. You can tell they care about what they're serving. Definitely want to come back. read more

Great food and service. First time there and everyone was so helpful and patient. Very spicy but so good

Everything is made to order so it does take some time but I can say it is well worth the time. I highly recommend the extra seasoned fries and the soul sauce. I had the hottest chicken that you can order. I can handle extreme spicy it was such a great flavor and had a nice kick but it could be spicer for me.

I remember when this was a food truck at ala carte. I am not a fan of spicy or hot so I always skipped over their offerings. Years later they have a physical location and upon review I see they offer a "soul full" option which is all the seasoning and none of the heat. Sounded great so I gave it a shot. The restaurant is let say a well used space in a building that is not new. They apparently have some leaks in the ceiling as evidenced by the stained saggy drop ceiling. So ambiance is not real high. The staff however was great! Super friendly and helpful with ordering. (Ordering done on a tablet) but she was right there for any questions which was appreciated. The price is great too. I always like when you can get a decent meal for under $15. The food was great. I did the combo with fries and the fries had a seasoning on them which was pretty tasty. The person I was eating with said the fries reminded them a lot of the taco bell fries (I have never tried) and she enjoyed them. The Chicken was crispy outside and juicy inside and had some great flavor to it. I did the sandwich and next time I think I would pass on the bun as there was nothing remarkable about it. I think it sort of hid the great flavor of the chicken. The place was pretty busy for a late Saturday afternoon so I suspect there are many others who know how tasty this is. I recommend checking this place out if you are in the neighborhood. read more

I had Chicken Fire saved for a while before I was finally able to visit. It is located off Colonial in a strip mall with plentiful, yet slightly difficult parking. Walking in there are two iPads to order from and a few tables. There was not much in the way of decor inside, it almost seemed like a takeout only restaurant. Everything is served in a brown paper box. I chose to get a box which was fries on the bottom, chopped hot chicken (I chose mild which had some heat), coleslaw, sauce and pickles. It was good. Definitely very spicy and I typically do medium but mild was enough here. Overall it was good, but not significantly better than other hot chicken locations. It was just spicier than them. read more
