The staff is amazing! Hands down very friendly and helpful. However I'm not sure about the chicken. I was excited to try this place because the reviews are highly regarded. I tried ordering 1 piece of dark meat just to try it, I end up buying the 4 pcs, because they charge $10 only for one pcs. Yup you heard that right. I asked the cashier if I was hearing that right and he verified. Maybe he was new and did not know what he was doing but I end up spending about $31.00 for 4 pieces with drinks and fry's and also sauces. Definitely a disappointment! The chicken is heavily battered, crispy but bland, chicken has a flavor but it just doesn't taste like a fried chicken should be. I think I should have just had the chicken sandwich which would have been better, if you're coming to this place don't order any bone in chicken, complete waste of money. Just order the tenders and chicken sandwich
This is a solid spot if you're craving chicken late night. Parking is a bit limited and the place itself is kind of small, but there is seating both inside and outside, which helps. Portion sizes are definitely a highlight. We ordered the 5 tenders with mac and cheese, bread, and fries, and it was more than enough to split between two people. Good value for how much food you get. The chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Fries were alright; my husband and I just wanted it slightly crispier but seasoning was good. Mac and cheese was good. Loved the cheese and pasta was cooked well. Food came out fairly quickly, though the service itself was just okay, nothing standout but not bad either.
This is honestly, some of the best chicken in the bay area. The crust was Crunchy with a lot of flavor. The chicken itself was really juicy not dry at all. I do have to say that the service was pretty amazing. They must have checked on us two or three times just to make sure we were okay and that we had everything that we needed. For such a small establishment for a team to go that far is pretty remarkable. Pretty relaxed environment very simple. You gotta try the lemonade.It was delicious. We had both regular fries and the spicy ones which did have a nice kick to them nothing overly powering, but a nice kick.
Just to get some of the not so great things about Chicken G out of the way; it's not a very sanitary place, and it's not at all a fancy place at all. However, if you want a lot of food for ~ 15 bucks, then Chicken G is the place. The chicken is so tender here, and it's a fun place to just hang out after Volleyball. It's deserving of a 5 star rating! Keep up the good food!
Came here for a quick takeout order on a Sunday around 2pm and there were a few customers eating inside, but no line! Not a whole lot of seating options inside, so more of a casual quick bite or takeout place! ~the food~ - The Big G (~$15) : HUGE fried chicken sandwich! The fried chicken pieces here are very generous and definitely freshly fried! The chicken was super crispy, juicy, and had great seasoning/flavors! It was a bit oily, but hey it's a fried chicken sandwich lol the sandwiches comes with your choice of a side, and we went with the seasoned fries which was also super hot and fresh! ~parking~ there's a small parking lot behind the shop, but also plenty of street parking around the area! ~overall~ it took about 10-15mins for our food to be ready after we ordered since they cook everything fresh! overall, i think this is a great takeout spot for fried chicken! i will definitely be back to maybe try their fried chicken platter!
I got the loaded g fries, which comes with some pieces of chicken. While the flavor was there, the whole thing was too heavy for me so I got full pretty fast. I ended up taking at least half home. The portion is huge - definitely shareable. Most of the chicken pieces I ate felt more like the fried skin, and not the meat itself. The fries were great when freshly made, but not that amazing once it cooled down. I'd suggest sticking with their chicken sandwiches instead. I tried a few bites of my fiancé's sandwich and it was very flavorful, juicy, and huge.
It was a late night. I didn't have too many places to eat at because everything's closed. Luckily, a place called Chicken G's was open near me. When we got there we noticed it had its own parking lot in the back, bathrooms not in the restauraunt, and about 5 tables of seating. The inside looks like your typical american diner. On walls they put "This isn't fast food, it's fresh", to let us know that it will take time to make our food. We decided to order the naughty sandwich. One thing that really stood out to me was that the cashier wiped our table before we sat down. Really didn't expect that, a nice little touch. When the sandwich came, I was floored. This thing was HUGE. I literally couldn't even fit it in my mouth in 1 bite, I had to chip at it bit by bit. but oh man, it definitely did not disappoint- it was craaaazy juicy, with a nice spicy kick from the serranos. The crispiness and juiciness really blew me away- it's like a tier above other fried chicken (buttermilk style, so don't compare it to nashville). When we asked the cashier for more peppers, he really hooked us up- he gave us a tray of them! I was so amazed because I was just not expecting them to actually fill our outrageous request. The fries were pretty good, but I was so full from the chicken I ended up taking most of them home. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone and I'll for sure be coming back when my fried chicken craving hits again!
I really wanted to like this place. I have friends who come here often, and I currently live nearby. But after a few tries, I think Chicken G's isn't right for me. Starting with the pros. The service is typically fast and friendly. You do get a lot of bang for your buck, as the servings are generous. And, when I taste the chicken, I can tell it's well-seasoned, flavorful, and made-to-order. But, I just think the fried chicken is just way too heavy & oily. The breading is excessive, as my mouth dries before I get to the chicken underneath. The sides, like the fries and coleslaw, are also average. While I appreciate Chicken G's and acknowledge some like what's offered, I feel there are better places for fried chicken, even for halal customers.
New to the valley as a founder and from all the businesses I've encountered in SF, Valley, etc. this restaurant was the most welcoming & the greatest service. Amazing food as well & good vibes!
Came here on a Monday afternoon. It wasn't very busy, but the food did take a while to come out. The interior is decent, nothing fancy but it seems like a chill hangout spot, especially since they're open until 1 a.m. We ordered The G Meal, which comes with 4 pieces of chicken (2 thighs, 2 drums), 2 sides, 2 Texas toasts, and house sauces. For our sides, we chose the mac & cheese and fries. Honestly, the sides weren't great. As you can see in the photo, the mac & cheese was clumpy and mushy, and the fries were just okay. The chicken was definitely worth getting tho, super crispy, tender, and juicy. The seasoning was on point you don't even need extra sauce (we didn't even get any house sauces with ours). We also tried The Big G, which is their chicken sandwich with a side. It was so good. My final thoughts: Come here for the chicken and skip the sides.
This place is delicious, and it's always nice to try the local spots. If you like fried chicken, this is definitely a place to try. Their unique batter sets it apart from any fried chicken I've had before. Small amount of private parking, decent amount of self seating inside. read more

The place is overrated!!! First of all, I don't think the meat was fresh, it had a weird smell, and texture wise, the chicken fiber seems decomposed and power like. And I don't think the chicken meat is fully cooked. And it's not cheap! read more

Don't sleep on Chicken G's! It's a tiny establishment on the corner of El Camino Real and Palo Alto Ave. There are a few stalls behind the bldg but mostly street parking. I kept seeing Chicken G's on Yelp and finally decided to stop in. I was pleasantly greeted by the gentleman at the counter and he provided me with some insight for my first order. He was so friendly and helpful! I decided on the Big G with fries(well done). There were about 3-4 other customers who had already ordered before me so I took a seat and it probably took no longer than 10-12 mins for my sandwich. The chicken is freshly fried, so so crispy and MASSIVE! The gentlemen saw how shocked at the size of the sandwich and offered to cut it in half for me, what a doll! The garlic sauce on the bun is delicious and a great compliment. I only ate half of my sandwich and fries and took the rest home in a box, and am looking forward to finishing it tomorrow. I will absolutely be back! read more

Hi George hope you're doing well I'm really curious if you were…
The burger here is too good, a must try place if you are a burger lover. They prep their own sauce for the burger and the chicken inside the Naughty-chick burger is amazing. The serrano peppers and the special sauce is too good for a burger. Lunch is the perfect time for the food, also comes with a fries which are also very well made. The mix of peppers on the fries is a great combo with the burger. They also provide extra sauce for the fries if you ask for it. Parking might be busy especially during weekday lunch times, call ahead and order if you are for to-go orders. read more
Who's always down for a fried chicken sandwich? *raises hand* Chicken G's will satisfy that craving for you! It's located off El Camino in Mountain View across the street from Danish Concepts Furniture. PARKING Private lot with ~4 designated spaces and street parking. INTERIOR Cozy dine-in area. Good amount of seating. There are a few tables out front for outdoor seating too. SERVICE The guy who took our order was pleasant. Food wait time was less than 10 minutes. FOOD Generous portions, especially the size of the fried chicken for their sandwiches! Condiments, utensils, and complimentary water station available. *Naughty Chick Sandwich: I ordered this because I wanted a spicy kick to mine. It was really good. I did have to scrape off some of the thinly sliced serrano peppers. There was a little too much for my liking. The G sauce that's added to the sandwich is delicious. Creamy and flavorful. I couldn't pinpoint a very distinct flavor but my guess was coriander. I believe the chicken is marinated too before being breaded and deep fried, which gives more flavor. The breading is delicious! Crispy and crunchy. *Chick-licious: my partner ordered this. This is your classic chicken sandwich. Sesame bun, Mayo, and their hand-battered fried chicken. It. Hit. The. Spot. Side orders *Mac and cheese: Creamy and tasty. Surprisingly good. *Fries: right amount of time in the deep fryer. It was crispy. Good seasoning. Yes, please!!! read more
Came here at 9pm with a few friends on Wednesday night because nothing else was open at the time and it's well rated. The menu is pretty simple and small, and we got our food shortly after ordering at the counter. Mac and Cheese ($4): this doesn't deserve to be called mac and cheese and I recommend that nobody ever orders this. From the first glance, this comes out as a tiny portion (thank goodness) of unappealing mush. I was pressured into trying a bite and had to immediately spit it out; the noodles are beyond overcooked, the cheese "sauce" was split and grainy and it tasted like uncooked freezer burned butter. DO NOT GET THIS. The Big G ($13.74): this was a decent chicken sandwich, but it could definitely have been better. The chicken was well seasoned and crispy, but it tasted a little bitter, as if the fry oil needed to be changed. The sesame bun was untoasted, the swiss cheese unmelted, and it seemed like something that was just quickly thrown together without much effort. The small side of crinkle cut fries was seasoned but not crispy and didn't do much to save the dish. I don't recommend Chicken G's and am surprised by the high rating, though I could see its late hours leading to it being a go-to spot for late night munchies. If you do come, stick to the chicken and avoid the mac n cheese at all costs. read more

I ordered the Big G chicken sandwich which came with my choice of a side - I went with fries. It came with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and sauce. The chicken was beautifully fried and the entire sandwich was piping hot throughout until the last bite which I feel like isn't common with most sandwiches! The crisp was amazing and the meat was tender and juicy. Fries were ok though, but sandwich made up for it! Parking behind the store - about 5 ish spots but street parking should have spots if none left in the lot. Food came out in less than 10 mins on a Tuesday lunch. read more
I'm writing this review live, as I experience it. So far I've ordered and I'm here waiting and the energy in here is awkward and quiet. No one is talking, no music and the customer service is dry and uninviting. These guys have no smiles to offer the public, but orders are coming out steady and from what I see, it looks good. As I'm sitting here waiting for my food, I notice they have a prayer room which is super cool and it's open for anyone who needs to pray. I ordered The G Meal, 2 thighs, 2 drums, Texas toast and fries. The chicken looks super crispy and the fries and toast smell delicious! My total is $24.02 after tax. The food is very good and I'll be coming back for sure. read more

There can never be too many fried chicken sandwich shops, especially one that serves halal chicken! LOCATION: Chicken G's is located on West El Camino Real Street in Mountain View. ORDER: |-| The Big G Sandwich ($13.74) - Hand battered fried chicken served in a sesame bun with Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onions, and a homemade tangy garlic sauce. |-| Fries (included) REVIEW: All sandwich orders come with a side of your choice - you can choose between Fries, Mac & Cheese, or Coleslaw. The Big G Sandwich was insanely big; the chicken was crispy and flaky on the outside but still super juicy on the inside; all of the toppings were really fresh; and that garlic mayo sauce is to die for. Overall, the sandwich was delicious and worth the price due to the large portion size. The fries were well-seasoned and lightly battered. They weren't as crispy as I personally like, but they weren't bad. read more

I stopped at Chicken G's for an early lunch today because it was close to the bakery where I picked up my cheesecake. I was not disappointed. Chicken G's is a cute little restaurant located along a busy street. They have their own parking lot, and street parking is also available. The interior of the restaurant is cute and even has a prayer room. We were greeted by a pleasant young man who took our order. They even offer complimentary chai tea, which was delicious. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered a regular size to take with me. We ordered a couple of fried chicken sandwiches that were divine. I also ordered the Mac and cheese as a side, which was creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious. The chicken had a little kick to it, and it was piping hot and crispy when we received it. My boyfriend was also not disappointed. I highly recommend Chicken G's. read more
One of the best chicken sandwich places around, period, AND it's halal? I don't keep with the diet but Chicken G has really set the bar high. Chicken G's menu is pretty simple, just three kinds of chicken sandwiches (regular, tangy, and spicy) and a la carte chicken, and a handful of sides, but the execution is great. The chicken is, in short, amazing. I ordered the Naughty Chicken (Spicy) and was delighted by the crispy breading, a delicious sauce, and a ton of chilis that gave a BIG bite of spice (so much that I actually had to take out a couple! Take my vietnamese card away). The chicken was perfectly tender and crispy at the same time, and was absolutely delicious. I ordered the mac and cheese as a side, but unfortunately it was a little bit dry (maybe I ordered too late?). My friends ordered the french fries, however, and that was fresh out of the fryer and delicious, so maybe it just depends on what time of day you go. Overall there isn't much to be said other than that Chicken G's makes a solid chicken sando that absolutely must be tried if you're in the area (and are craving chicken of course!). Overall a 4.5 rounded up to a 5, just cuz they're still a bit new and their main draw (the chicken sandwich) was top notch. I'll be back! --- sweet: EXCELLENT chicken sandwich bitter: mac and cheese a bit of a miss. read more
Chicken G is the G of chicken sandwiches. I was not expecting the size of this to be so massive. I now understand why women say size matters. You can cut the sandwich half and have two meals for the day. The chicken was extremely crispy, and had some Indian spice to it maybe turmeric. I am not sure what the sauce was, but it was so good and would love to have a whole bottle to squirt on with every bite. The fries are all right. Definitely recommend everyone check out this underrated chicken sandwich shop as I will be frequenting it as much as I can. read more

This was my second time ordering delivery from Chicken G. This time my food arrived in much better condition - the food was still warm, the fried chicken in the sandwich was still crispy and the fries had a delightful seasoning. A good late night indulgent meal. read more

WOW, this place is an absolute hidden gem. It's located in a small little shop with nice interior, it had the perfect setting for your local burger joint. There wasn't too much parking in the back, but luckily for us it wasn't too busy on a Thursday afternoon. I decided to try The Big G burger with a side of mac n cheese. The chicken was so crispy and juicy, it was deep fried to perfection. The onion, lettuce and tomato tasted so fresh as well. I enjoyed this sandwich so much. For my side I got mac n cheese, and it was so creamy which I really liked. I also got the Naughty Chicken sandwich. Once again, the chicken was delicious. If you like your sandwich spicy, then I would recommend this one since it had a spicy spread on the sandwich. The French fry came with spices and seasoning already on it, and it tasted so yummy! read more
The chicken was decent and the service was average. I went with the two piece meal with fries and a drink. I'm not sure if it was the spice on the chicken or the food itself, but my stomach hurt for the next 48 hours. For the price, I wish they had given me more fries. Overall, it's one of the few restaurants open late on Sundays. read more

Had the "big G" this evening for dinner. My oh my that was a big piece of chicken, could have made two sandwiches out of it! Chicken was cooked excellently, not too oily, very good crisp to it. Sandwich overall was hot and yummy. They have a couple of side sauces you can ask for to dip your fries or sandwich in called "g-sauce" which is yellow colored and has a very slight spice to it and is kind of like a take on honey mustard. The garlic sauce was kind of like a garlicky ranch sauce, was pretty thick, went well with the sandwich. Coleslaw was too drenched and sweet for my taste, felt very unhealthy. Also they didn't have any diet sodas when I visited which was odd. Hope that's not a regular thing. Pricing felt fair, maybe even more than fair given the amount of chicken you get. Service was fast, but man the guy working there seemed very unhappy and bored. I wouldn't say he was unwelcoming, but every question had a a sad matter of fact answer, was honestly kind of depressing. I know it sounds cheesy but a happier cashier that greeted customers with a smile or something would be nice. It's located on El Camino in its own mini plaza with its own parking. It's kind of annoying because people try to exit the plaza onto el Camino and it screws traffic up because there is only room to enter from that side. There is plenty of parking though dedicated to the restaurant. read more

Nice to have a new chicken sandwhich in the area. Grand opening is Friday, 8/12/22, get in line early for a free chicken sandwhich to first 100 people. The soft opening has been going on so they only have 3 sandos on menu and fries. The cole slaw and Mac cheese are coming soon. The naughty chick wasn't super spicy but had a nice little heat to it. The chicken was crunchy and good sized, flowing outside the bun. The Big G was ok, not as much flavor but still tasty. They plan on opening late so that is a plus. Outdoor seating and indoor seating available Bathrooms are in back of building and you need the code read more

I'm not a member of the Clean Your Plate Club... I always leave something behind and/or have leftovers to bring home. The only exception? Food made for ants at a tiny kitchen, then you best believe I'll lick every drop of sauce off the plate and chase every 24k gold flake that flies away. Then, go to McD afterwards because I'm still hungry and have no shame. Well, I was part of the Clean Your Plate Club at Chicken G's.... I annihilated their Naughty Chick...the sandwich, you pervs. I was even picking up the batter crumbs to eat. Soft opening last week is a new fast-casual fried chicken shop, Chicken G's (grand opening is August 12th). They're open for takeout, delivery, indoor dining, and outdoor dining. Dog-friendly! I'm not sure if they're related to Lados (bomb Pakistani street food) but Chicken G's fried chicken sandwiches totally reminds of The Zinger there. The Zinger [Burger] is a very popular Pakistani fried chicken sandwich that's inspired by KFC. Hours of operation: Open every day from 11 am to 1 am...perfect for late night drunchies in sleepy Mountain View. Closed on Tuesdays. M E N U Limited soft opening menu: Three kinds of fried chicken sandwiches, or you can build your own: https://bit.ly/3Ou9kZn. The sandwiches include a side of seasoned fries for only $12.99-$13.74. You can opt for a salad instead of a bun. Once they've perfected their fried chicken sandwiches, they'll roll out their bone-in fried chicken and chicken tenders, each with a different kind of batter. Halal chicken used. F O O D * Naughty Chick: Hand-battered fried chicken, pepper jack cheese, serrano chili, lettuce, g sauce, toasted sesame bun ($13.74): https://bit.ly/3PR12vF ***Fries included (currently, the only side available). Before digging in, grab plenty of napkins because it's going to get messy...in a good, saucy way! The huge fried chicken cutlet (thigh meat) was shatteringly crunchy and flaky on the outside, and juicy and moist on the inside. Great batter and frying technique as it wasn't greasy or oily. I appreciate that the fried chicken wasn't overly salty, just right so you can taste the chicken. The serrano chili and pepper jack cheese added a mild heat. Most of the seeds from the serrano chilis were removed so def an opportunity to amp up the heat for those who like it to burn on both ends. The garlic + g sauce provided that rich, creamy layer that made you want to go in for more, while the crisp iceberg lettuce provided a freshness to the fried chicken sandwich. Despite the hefty cutlet and sauces, the toasted sesame bun held everything together and didn't fall apart...down to the last bite. The accompanying seasoned fries were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I prefer plain fries so maybe you can request it without the seasoning. My only feedback which I forgot to tell the owner to consider adding a hot sauce for those who enjoy a good burn. S E R V I C E Excellent service. The owner, Ali is upbeat, friendly, and customer-oriented. Even though it's fast-casual, he took the time to come outside to make sure we enjoyed the food. He also included extra sauces for dipping. With two orders ahead of us, it took about 12 minutes for our order (fried to order). A M B I A N C E Hip and casual with four tables inside and four tables outside. The indoor tables have purse hooks which is very thoughtful. Restroom is out in the back. P A R K I N G They have their own private lot in back with about 5-6 spaces. There's also street parking in front. Overall, Chicken G's is serving bomb Zinger-style fried chicken sandwiches with a warm smile. And, a great value meal to boot. If you're in the area, def come through and check out this new local small business! read more
Found this place close by and open after a concert at Frost Amphitheater, but in the opposite direction from home. Worth it! We were craving a quick to go meal. The chicken was tender, juicy, crispy, and flavorful. I would recommend this place over fast food any day. Items ordered: ~ Naughty Chicken: super spicy as there were slices of jalapeño pepper. ~The Big G: good enough to split between two people. Both sandwiches came with fries with seasoning that tasted like Cajun. read more
Happened to be in the area and needed a quick lunch. It's a very nonchalant storefront that you could pass in a second and wouldn't even know you passed it. There wasn't a lot of people inside which sometimes concerns me. I ordered the naughty chick with coleslaw as my side. It wasn't as fast as I expected but then I took a bite of the sandwich I understood why. You could definitely taste that it was made to order. The skin was crispy and hot and the Serrano chili were definitely spicy! The coleslaw is exactly how I like it, lots of sauce and tangy if you're in the area and looking for a chicken sandwich, I would definitely go here. read more
You know how you see those commercials for KFC and it shows the big crunchy and steamy chicken sandwich, but when you get it, the bread is hard, the chicken feels gummy and stale and you are overall disappointed with it? Well this chicken sandwich is what you are getting in those commercials. A big piece of crunchy and hot chicken on toasted bread is what you are getting, but the flavor is there. This place is legit. I drive along El Camino in Mtn View often and got excited when I saw the sign go up and a few weeks later, I finally got to try it. Called, but went to voicemail and I believe the owner or manager called back, which at first I thought was a bit weird, but appreciated that he knew someone was trying to call for some food. Was about a 10 minute wait from the time I called to the time our food was ready and it did not disappoint. They only had fries to choose from, but slaw and mac & cheese are coming son as a side option. They do put seasoning on the fries, which I am not a fan of, but I can easily ask them to hold the seasoning. Hopefully they will add a spicy chicken sandwich somewhere down the road :) They are also open until 1am. Check 'em out!!!! read more

Is milk or other dairy used for the batter, for the lactose intolerant?
Has anyone tried the mac & cheese? any good?
It's only "ok", a little grainy. The slaw is killer. Good fries too.
