The chicken tenders are juicy and the fries are well seasoned. The food came out quickly. The chicken tenders are a good size. I think I ordered off the kids menu and this was filling for me. I would come back if I was in the area, but otherwise I don't think it's particularly special.
I thought this chicken was going to taste exactly like canes. I was so wrong. I like how their chicken adds a depth of spice and sweetness to their batter when you least expect it! Chicken was made fresh & still hot after a 30 minute drive out. Don't underestimate the size of the tenders!
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.
Food quantity: 9/10 Food quality: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Overall rating: 8.5/10 Delicious spicy fried chicken, go milder than you normally would!
The food was actually pretty good. It's expensive but the chicken tenders are huge. You definitely get a good amount of food. The food tastes good it was nicely seasoned. The fries tasted sooo yummy! I wish they'd been crispier but I put them in the oven when I got home. I don't live very far from there so the food was not sitting that long before I ate it, but it was still kind of soggy. The inside of the place does look clean and neat and like they take care of the store well. The plaza that it's in is an older plaza and honestly, I've never really paid much attention to that restaurant before so this was the first time that we've tried it even though we had been to that plaza numerous times for the Asian market that is right next-door. We go to that Asian market often so we may try this place again in the future. The staff there were very friendly and everything in our order was right. It was a great experience so if we are in the mood for it, we will definitely go again.
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.
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.
We tried the box with a tender medium, and the fry bowl less spicy - they were both delicious. The fries were crunchy and the seasoning was perfect. The chicken was moist and crunchy on the outside. The coleslaw is really good. The pickles are cold and crisp. If you're craving some spicy fried chicken and french fries this is a great place to go to.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

This one just needs some tweaks - and I don't mean meth users - to make it a great spot. First, the inside space is small, so to make the best use out of it you order and pay and then go outside to await your name being called to get your food. I think the people stacked up outside kept us away a few times because we didn't know the ordering situation. Secondly, there is no drink fountain, so you are relying on bottled water or bottled soft drinks which to my taste, are unpleasant at room temperature. Your other option is to hold off on purchasing a drink until you get your food which means your bottled drink is colder, but still not as good as ice and a refillable cup. Lastly the menu and food itself. When we ordered we explained it was our first time there and the guy gave us an ok crash course in ordering the right thing - that's how I decided to make a second purchase of drink once I got my food. I ordered the chicken sliders and an order of French fries and a Coke. When I ordered the chicken I ordered it hot. The guy didn't really react so I thought I was good. When my friend ordered he ordered mild chicken and the guy at the counter said "that will be like hot buffalo". Hot buffalo is typically to my liking so I asked about my "hot" order and he relays to me some sauce variant I've never heard of, but I gathered mild = hot and hot = more hot - which I thought would be ok because there were several hotter levels. That should have been a clue I was in for a treat - that and all the signs that read by my head "if you order too hot, you're on your own" or something along the "no refunds" line. I'm not a big cole slaw guy, so I asked to have that on the side and that request was honored. We asked about ranch dressing and we were told they didn't have any. Now I'm not crazy about ranch like the people I see in videos online drinking it, but if I'm a hot chicken place I'm probably offering ranch. Further, I can't think of a restaurant or eating establishment that shouldn't have ranch and ketchup (not in packets). If I had Ciro's Cereal House I'm still keeping ranch and ketchup close by. Maybe Nashville Hot Chicken has a purist sect that guffaws at anything other than cole slaw and pickles on the sandwich, but I'm not a member of that crowd and I suspect the general public isn't either. When I opened the slider box I learned these were basically two sandwiches. When I opened the box of fries I found enough fries to cover as sides for several people. Also the ketchup was in packets which for those unaware is a tactic used by the CIA at terrorist interrogation black sites. It has proven useful in extracting information when the terrorists are served a large helping of fries and given 3 ketchup packets. After a couple minutes battling to open the tiny packets only able to enhance the flavor of about 7 fries they are ready to sing like a bird for a full bottle of ketchup. Now remember the heat discussion? I did eat one full sandwich, but it became more of a challenge than enjoyment. About 3 bites in I was sipping on my room temperature Coca-Cola to quell the heat attempting to billow back out of my throat, which I can only assume is how a dragon builds a fiery breath to burn down a city. For me, hot was definitely hotter than I was prepared for and I eat spicy stuff regularly. With half the sandwich gone I had begun sweating like the proverbial sinner in church. The last quarter of the sandwich I decided to heck with it, this cole slaw is white like ranch how bad can it be at cooling off this chicken? It did help a little, but I'm still not seeing the allure to cole slaw on a sandwich. I think to improve our visit the guy who gave us the run down could have said "our chicken is incredibly spicy and I'd recommend ordering one level of heat lower than you are used to elsewhere and the sliders are more like full sandwiches and the fry box uses a full week's worth of Idaho's potato output, it would probably work well if you two ordered one slider box and one order of fries and split it". At this point I'd likely be at a 4 on this review. I think I'll give them so time to sort their process and go back - with my own bottle of ranch and ketchup this time! read more

If You haven't visited Chicken Fire yet...what are you waiting for?! There's a reason they voted Orlando the best food truck in 2020. Absolutely amazing food and even better service! Pictured is the Big box drizzled with honey for a little sweet and spicy combo. 10/10! read more

OMG OMG OMG, I was in Florida on vacation with my daughter and Chicken Fire was on our list to try. Honey let me tell you, they did NOT disappoint. The customer service was awesome and food was piping hot. I have NEVER tasted chicken and fries so perfectly seasoned, 2 bites in and my daughter asked, did I want another. We took another order to go, it was absolutely delicious, since we live up North, not sure when we will make back, we will be COMING BACK!!! read more
The line for this place is always wrapping around the building so I suggest you place an order before waiting in line. When I visited I waited in line to order and then I just killed time while my food was being prepared by going to the Asian Market next door. We got two chicken boxes with their hottest spicy level. And to me, and I love spicy, it wasn't too bad. They use a dry rub so sometimes that spicy level translates different. I will say this: in terms of spicy, the way it goes in it will come out. So be prepared to be in the bathroom the next day after eating + Have some pepto by you. Aside from that, amazing big portion size. The box comes with fries, pickles and a slice of bread. We took the food to go but, they have a nice sitting area. The tables are spaced out and they are limiting capacity for their dinning room. There will be someone at the door taking temperatures and reminding you how to properly wear the mask inside their establishment. If you are in the downtown/ E colonial area I highly recommend giving them a try. read more

I will truly say this is one of our favorite restaurants in Orlando ! We started following them from their first food truck spot and now to their opening day at their own spot! The medium hot box is what I always get and man it is spicy but so delicious! The sauce that comes with it is wonderful and always cooked to perfection. The people are always extremely nice and I'm wanting to try the sliders (that are more like two full sandwiches) next ! I highly recommend if you like spicy then to come here read more

I've never been to a place like Chicken Fire. I'm not even a person who gets excited about chicken but this turned me into one. The team is kind and efficient. The food is fresh and has a crazy amount of flavor. Err on the side of mild if spicy isn't your thing and have a back up plan if they run out of seating. read more

Chicken Fire was fire! Nashville Hot Chicken place that offers a small menu including sliders and tenders. The Mild is still hot and gets hotter from there. Food was great and they had a small beer selection. Definitely recommend trying this place out for some good chicken! read more

Thank you tiktok for showing me this place! I wanted to come back in December, but noticed they weren't at this location just yet! Upon arrival, an employee is outside taking temps and going through the ordering protocol. I went inside, decided on their heat levels, and just sided with the no heat flavor. The gentleman taking my order was so helpful on describing the heat levels, but I was too afraid the mild would make my nose run! LOL I am wimp when it comes to spice. Once I ordered, I waited outside until I got a phone call that my order was ready. I went in, picked it up, and ate near the window towards the front of the restaurant. When I noticed that they gave you chicken FILETS and not tenders I was impressed! Such good portions for a decent price! The chicken was super juicy and the seasoning on the fries were addicting, just like their dipping sauce. Amazing. My only con would be that the breading seems to separate from the chicken; Could be from excess flour. All-in-all, I really enjoyed this establishment and maybe I'll try the next heat level up! read more
Update: I finally visited the new Chicken Fire RESTAURANT and I almost feel emotional seeing how far they've come in just a year. With new heats and more options, the chicken is just as good as ever but this time I was able to try their sliders (full size sandwiches). My boyfriend and I split a box with one Meek, one Mild, and a side order of fries to share. This was plenty for the two of us, but my boyfriend said he wants his own next time because it's that good! Also, I could be imagining this but the fries seem to have a completely new flavor that I LOVE! A little spice with a little sweetness. Very on par with the chicken. Oh and aside from the food... the staff was phenomenal, their COVID precautions are the gold standard, and our meal was only $17. Chicken Fire, we love you! read more

"How can someone so skinny be so Phat!! ~ Beastie Boys Bravo!!! All of the 5 star reviews are right. This guy is a mad flavor scientist! I didn't bring a scale with me but I would guess there is at least 10oz of chicken on this thing. I am one of the founding members of the Clean Plate Club and I could not finish my meal. I went with the Meak Flavor. Just delicious. Everything exceeded my expectations. I'm pretty sure that if Chicken Fire stays true to what they do, then we may be witnessing the birth of the next big chicken chain. Be aware, it is not fast food. My chicken was cooked perfectly. Super moist n juicy. Along with the slaw and that insane sauce, it was running down my arm and I was ok with it. I called the founder out to my table to share every adjective I could think of. You would never believe how humble and kind he was after getting his butt kicked all day in a kitchen. It's just so refreshing to see so much magic happening. I'm pretty sure that they should hold tight on the offers from investors because it's only a matter of time before Chicken fire on everyone's radar. Great Job. Already planing my next visit. read more
Boyfriend guest update of prior review: As a former Nashville resident, hot chicken is somewhat of a painful addiction unable to be shaken long after leaving. I have tested my tolerance for spice amongst all of the Nashville staples of Prince's, Pepperfire, Bolton's, Hattie B's, and many others following in their footsteps. Kwame and his team have created a product that would drive a cult following even were they to pack up shop and take their chicken to its home in Tennessee. The heat level stays true to that of the mecca that is Prince's rather than the weakened palette of some other places catering to tourists (looking at you Hattie B's). The recipe maintains the brown sugar sweetness that lures you back for another bite even as your throat screams in protest. Do not worry about the lines, it is only a marker of the wonderful meal to come. We are exceedingly proud to see their success here in Orlando and cannot wait until their permanent location arrives! read more
