Had amazing chicken meatballs. Delicious. My friend had the firecracker orange chicken and she loved her meal as well. I'll definitely be back read more

Pretty good. Came to try it for the first time today and was greeted and seated right away. I got the Fried chicken sandwich with fries and it was very filling and flavorful. I asked for a side of ranch and they have some good ranch!! I also liked the portions. Good amount of fries and big chicken sandwich! I'm glad the portion was good because it was $20 for a chicken sandwich and fries My only complaint was that our server did forget quite a few things and at one point, never returned. I had to flag down the other server who started taking care of us after i told her we were missing some items. Not sure what could've happened. read more

When we first drove by this restaurant I knew I wanted to try it. We stopped in for lunch before our long drive back to Reno and let me just say, we were not hungry on the drive back. They have a great patio seating area that is very clean and really fits the downtown Palm Springs vibes. Our waiter was great too, just super on top of everything. All of the food we had was delicious and massive. My sons mozzarella sticks had the greatest cheese pull I have ever seen and they were golden. My buffalo ranch chicken sandwich was excellent as well. Lots of thin chicken fried and piled on top of each other. My wife and mother in law both enjoyed their meals too, I helped my wife finish her BBQ chicken flatbread. This place is a real winner and I will sing its praises for years to come. read more

What a delicious and healthy lunch at Chicken Ranch. Really nice al fresco dining with fans and misters to cool off from these scorching summer days in the desert. They don't do reservations but our party of 4 got seated fairly quickly. Rotiserrie chicken in different ways and tons of healthy and delicious sides. For our visit, we did the BBQ chicken flatbread for starters. For mains, we did the banh mi sandwich and a side salad, half chicken with lavash bread and tomatillo sauce, macaroni and cheese, fries, green beans, and broccolini. The chicken was good and the sides were all flavorful even the broccolini and the green beans. Dishes around around $20 and sides ~ $10. Food tasted fresh and delicious. Great service. Good food. read more

We passed by this restaurant on our drive through Palm Springs and decided that it would be a good lunch spot before heading home. Their patio was so comfortable and had such a nice view of the main street! Our waiter was so attentive, he really took amazing care of our table! We never ran out of water and had everything very quickly. Now the food, WOAH, the portions are HUGE! This is somewhere that you can easily split! My kiddo just wanted Mozzarella Sticks and they had literally the perfect cheese pull. My mom ordered the Chicken Pot Pie and it was hot, fresh and delicious. I had the BBQ Chicken Pizza which I loved and shared with everyone and my husband had the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich, he loved it and it was a protein lovers dream! Looks a little pricy at first but the sizes really make it so worth a visit! read more

We took our friend here while she was visiting the area. We all loved the food! The chicken was super juicy and tender, I got the banh mi and it was really good. It was busy around lunch time on a Saturday, but we were able to get a table within 10minutes. Popular for tourists and locals for sure. Good price for the amount of food you get. Very relaxed vibes, definitely going again. read more

Tasty and fresh was the half chicken. Generous broccolini with a light glaze side. Mozzarella cheese sticks appetizer was just right with marinara dip. Service was spot on when needed. Indoor seating is limited but love the many windows to enjoy the day. Patio seating is more plentiful and a beautifully lush green place to enjoy one's meal. Water misters add to the comfort, especially when warm outside. Great food. Happy my first time and will be back for sure. read more

This place was recommended to us a few times and was one of the restaurants featured in the spring issue of Atomic Ranch. We went for dinner, sat outside. The ambiance was cute with the patio lights and linen tablecloths. I ordered chicken tenders and fries. My husband ordered the Chicken Wok and said it was bland. My tenders were dry and not flavorful. This place is grossly overpriced. The best part of the night was our waiter. He was so personable and a great waiter. Our food took about 45 minutes which felt too long for what we ordered. Overall, I was disappointed. read more

If you like chicken, come here. I had the Bahn Mi Sandwich, tried the chicken soup and Tinga Tacos. Soup was a bit underseasoned but not anything else, as they were spot on! read more

Chicken Ranch - Patio seating - Chicken Shop Near Me - Palm Springs, California

To the Owner, I feel compelled to share my experience during a recent visit to your restaurant, not out of malice, but out of disappointment, especially because I've had several good experiences here before. Our server, Ty, briefly introduced himself when we first sat down, stating "I will be your server!" He asked my friend if I wanted something to drink while I was away at the restroom. Naturally, my friend wasn't sure, so he asked for water. From that point forward, Ty never returned to our table. We sat there for 10 to 15 minutes without service. This is not an exaggeration. During that time, I noticed Ty had taken orders from at least two or three other tables, yet never acknowledged us again. Eventually, a different server came over and took our order. She never introduced herself, nor did Ty ever explain that someone else would be taking over. For the most part, she seemed to be the one handling clean-up and bussing tables, not someone you'd expect to be handling table service. I ordered the Chicken Wok, which has usually been my go-to favorite dish here. Sadly, this time it was very underwhelming. There was barely any chicken in the dish, and the broccoli was so tough I had to physically pull pieces out of my mouth because they were too hard to chew. Even worse, I found a hair on one of the red bell peppers. My friend ordered a salad with dressing on the side and a side of chicken. The chicken looked like it had been boiled and dropped on the plate. It didn't appear fresh or appetizing at all. The service remained inconsistent throughout the meal. Our waitress only checked on us once, and when it came time to get the check, it took another 10 to 15 minutes even after our plates were cleared and we were clearly finished eating. I would've rated this visit even lower had it not been for the good experiences I've had in the past. But this time was a real letdown. I'm hoping the owner sees this and considers whether additional training and oversight are needed. Customers like us come back because we've had good experiences,but one visit like this can quickly change that. read more

Great food and ambience. Had the orange chicken and rice and it was a nice way to end our evening

Came for dinner. We were one of two tables dining. Most people were doing take outs. We sat outside and got the half rotisserie chicken. The chicken was really good. We also got the broccolini. The broccolini was WAY too salty. It was as if the cap fell off the sauce container. The cosmopolitan was not good. The mojito was tasty. Enjoyed the dinner and little park in the back. read more

Best chicken in town. It would not be a visit to Palm Springs without going to the Chicken Ranch. Doesn't matter if you eat there or carry out. The food is fresh and delicious, the servers are very friendly and the outdoor patio is lovely no matter the temperature outside. After a delicious salad or chicken dinner, the key lime pie is to die for. Highly recommend. read more

Chicken Ranch is a popular spot in Downtown Palm Springs that serves up a variety of chicken dishes. I enjoyed their Fried Chicken Sandwich, but wasn't blown away as it lacked in flavor. I would've loved the sriracha aioli to be spicier. read more

Chicken Ranch - Fried Chicken Sandwich - Chicken Shop Near Me - Palm Springs, California

Let me start this by saying the FOOD is great. If you're wondering about eating here by all means everything is AMAZING. This review is purely based on the service provided by an individual. Came here on a Thursday evening around 5:00 for a last dinner with my dad and bf. Wanted something on the lighter side that would still fill us without all the frills of some other Palm Springs Restaurant. The restaurant was maybe 40% filled with about 5-6 tables on the street filled but the back half completely open. When we arrived a server from inside quickly noticed us and said someone would seat us in just a moment. We weren't in a rush and in a good mood so we waited patiently till he came back and said we could choose between two tables. We chose the one in the corner furthest away from the heaters. Everything was clean and comfortable as we sat down with our menus. This is where the pleasantness stopped. First I noticed that when we tried to walk to our table the server was busy happily chatting up another table about where they were from and what not. But what strikes me as odd was that he chose to stand in the middle of the aisle blocking it completely and refused to let us by and make room. We were already half way into the dining space to the table to rather than stand awkwardly next to someone as they tried to eat their meal I slipped past squeezing next to the heater. Nothing crazy of course and expected in the narrow dining space. While we sat down and picked out our order we quickly chose some favorites. I have been here MANY times before and LOOOVE almost everything. Like I said, the FOOD is 10/10 come here and eat. When the server arrived he set down the glasses and filled them up with water before asking us if we were ready. We ordered two salads and and a sandwich and stayed with the water since we were looking to eat light. He took our menus and then was gone. I mean.. GONE... POOF We must have had the plague because this man "Keilan M" as noted on our receipt never came back until the end of the meal and that was to drop off our check with a scan to pay QR Code. Throughout our entire 45 minute meal at while we sat down I noticed how he went back multiple times to check on every single other table in the vicinity EXCEPT for ours. He happily greeted the women of 4 seated after us at the table we didn't choose. He went BACK to the couple he was originally chatting up. He check on every single other table except for us. No water refills or even a carafe left on the table. He was GONE and never even looked at us. I would have gotten better service from a unmanned Kiosk because at least I wouldn't need to tip them for this level of service. And before you come at me. We still left him a tip despite no interaction except for the mentioned ordering and drop off of the check. So to end this horrible experience I will say, I understand if someone is having an off day, and we are usually very relaxed with our expectation. HOWEVER this felt usually personal and surprising to have experienced this level of alienation from one of my favorite spots. read more

Mini Review: Delicious. Kind service. Nice variety. Easy to get a table. Inside/Outside options. Extended Happy Hour. Let's get into the deetz: Service: Really enjoyed having Ty as my server. Warm personality. Loved the teamwork from the bartender who would come out, help clear/run, & she gave me good info when I asked. They work together well. Food/Drinks: I honestly came because they had longer HH hours & their website claimed to have HH food. Unfortunately, that info seems to only exist online at this moment about the food discounted. I still ordered what I wanted & it was delicious. - Firecracker Orange Chicken was a great texture. Added extra sauce & Sriracha. Yum. Filling for one person or shareable for 2. - Mac n Cheese had the great addition of panko. I added my extra sauces to it. I think it needed more complexity in flavor for my palette, but totally fine for the straightforward eaters. - House Sauvignon was a decent wine for $6 - Japanese lager was a treat at $6 I felt comfy sitting at the booth near the bar. Some bold diners enjoyed the patio at a still-warm 6pm. It was very easy to sit anywhere for a Sunday evening. HH is any seat from 3-8p which is great for those of us with variable schedules. read more

The food here was horrible. I have no idea why they are so busy, this was one of our worst meals in Palm Springs. The chicken was not fresh, lacking seasonings, and the portions were very small for the price. Service was horrible, we were left, forgotten most of the time, and the food was cold when it arrived. The fries were soggy and undercooked and nothing was fresh. Wound up spending way too much for an extremely mediocre lunch, pass on returning. read more

Had such a great first time experience coming here for a early dinner after the pride parade with my husband Ty or I believe Tyreke was our server and he was beyond happy to be there and he made us feel as if we had been there several times before he has such a welcoming spirit and really left us impressed. The Food was very delicious I had the BLT and my Other had The fried chicken sandwich and oh were both very delicious and fresh. I had a Martini that was actually very drinkable and flavorful. I am a local here in Palm Springs and will be coming back as this is the typer of service and quality of food that we are always happy send others to businesses with this type of service. I'd say it's more a causal dress type setting and very chill with fun drinks on top of great food options. read more

Flavorless chicken salad wrap. Chicken salad was bland and had iceberg lettuce and tomato which was pink (not red and fresh) So not worth the $. No onion, salt, mustard or any flavoring in the chicken salad. read more

With a lovely patio (and misters) this is a great Palm Springs lunch spot to people watch and relax with a drink and some food. Obviously the name suggests that they are good with chicken, so chicken is what I went for. I ordered the Oven Roasted Chicken BLT ($19) with fries and it was nice and large. I ended up taking half of it to go but I could have eaten the entire thing if I wasn't in a bit of a rush. I opted for the baguette which ended up being more like a roll which I wasn't upset about. It made it a bit easier to eat. I found the chicken a little dry, if I'm honest, but you get a lot of it and it works with the roasted cherry tomatoes and mustard. The service was attentive and patient since some of the group had difficultly deciding what to get. All in all I'll go back to try other things plus it is so centrally located (with parking). read more

I can't say enough good things about Chicken Ranch! We saw it while driving down the road towards a hike and decided to stop in for lunch afterwords. My mom ordered a mixed greens salad and I had the bbq salad. We enjoyed both the breast, thigh, and our salads. Delicious! We liked it so well that we came back for dinner! She had a chicken breast with baked potato and I had the chicken wok. We both enjoyed so much! The staff members both times were kind and the service was quick. We never had to wait more than 15 minutes for our food. The seating is outdoor, but do not worry, the water mist will cool you off! You must come here in Palm Springs. read more

Note: this review is from Thanksgiving 2023 but we returned the week of Thanksgiving 2024, we had the same server and the food was just as delicious as we had remembered. That tells you something about how wonderful the food and the services at this restaurant are and how consistent they are.. Chicken ranch was love at first sight. My wife and I were looking for a place to eat lunch and she couldn't make up her mind between the sandwich spot another good place and chicken ranch. Being the loving, compassionate husband, that I am, I offered to be the tiebreaker and said let's try the chicken ranch first. The restaurant was packed both on the patio and inside at lunchtime. A good sign of a popular place. The food we saw looked absolutely amazing. The menu had an utter simplicity to it. I ordered the beet goat cheese salad with dark meat. My wife ordered the barbecue chicken wrap and a side of potato fries. The real surprise came when we dipped the french fries in the barbecue sauce. It was like a taste explosion in your mouth. We aren't sure what they use for barbecue sauce, but it is amazing. The person who prepared my salad was a true artist. Look at the picture of the salad I posted is it not divine? The food was so delicious that my wife and I returned with her in-laws for dinner a few hours later. The food was equally delicious at night, although the salad was not as beautiful as the one I received at lunchtime. And the staff are wonderful. They perform like a crew team. Iit didn't seem to matter who's table or who's server you belong to. Anyone helped everyone and we believe the manager even walked around in plain clothes and greeted everyone. I can't imagine a customer doing that plus he had a credit card reader with him , And another neat thing was the fact that the servers each have their own credit card reader. Anyone could take your card at the table as opposed to walking off of your credit card ringing it up somewhere and coming back . You're probably used to this anywhere you go, but just having the reader at the table, sped up the payment process not to mention it was one less worry about whether your credit card might get stolen or copied or any of the other fraud that happens in places to take your credit card and return with it I highly recommend this place and the next time we return to Palm Springs it will be at the top of our list. read more

The chicken was so good, that I checked in and forgot to add to the review. The service was great, attentive but not bothersome. It is a quaint little spot with indoor & outdoor seating.

Let me just say this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in the entire city. Nothing about this place is "farm fresh," especially not the chicken, which had a strong, unpleasant odor the moment it hit the table. Fresh chicken does not smell like that period. On top of that, the pricing is outrageous. We ordered chicken strips, a salad plate, and two drinks, and the bill came to $111. That's beyond unreasonable, especially for food that could easily be compared to bland hospital cafeteria fare. Bottom line: overpriced, low-quality food that does not match the menu's claims. read more

We stopped by for the Chicken Ranch's happy hour and were just going to have a drink until we looked at their menu. They offer green beans or broccolini in a ginger/soy sauce. We had had the broccolini before which was really good so we decided to try the green beans. They were fabulous! They're super fresh, not fried like some places do, and the seasonings are perfect. It's a lovely appetizer to have while enjoying a beverage - happy hour or not. We'd highly recommend trying either of the vegetable items. read more

I was not expecting this spot to be as good as it was but Chicken Ranch is a delight! Don't let the casual decor and busy street location fool you. The food was delicious for casual fair, the outdoor patio was relaxing, and the service was good. I've driven by this restaurant many times and while it was always busy I wasn't initially drawn in for some reason. However, after shopping nearby and being uber hungry, my friends and I decided to stop in for a light bite. We were greeted and seated right away at the outdoor patio in the front. The menu as you would guess it is 80% chicken! Chicken salads, chicken sandwiches, and chicken fingers. An easy to navigate menu. Good for the kids and the old folks who wish we were still kids with this approachable and easy menu. While it's a good dining spot for families and little ones, they do have a bar inside where they make cocktails for those dining out front so they've got that going for them. Given we were here for a quick light bite between three of us gals we only ordered chicken strips and the fully loaded baked potato. Boy were those two dishes delicious! The chicken strips were a more panko type fry which tasted healthier than a usual chicken strip but they were really good. Love a place with good dining sauces, I can confirm that both the honey mustard and ranch were homemade tasting and delicious! The loaded baked potatoes were a meal on their down. Super tasty and filling, you have to check out my picture attached as they were totally Instagram worthy! Staff here are very friendly and hospitable! The gentlemen seated us right away and were very attentive. The valued feedback and asked what we thought of our meals. Nice people work here and they really aim for quality service. I'm sorry I slept on this spot for song long as it was good for a casual meal and I'd definitely come back soon. read more

Finding a decent meal in Palm Springs is about as hard as a Boston based team moving past New York in a playoff series in the year of our Lord 2025. "Okay but win the whole thing"...did Chicken Ranch win the whole thing? No, no not at all, but they left an imprint. A core memory. A point in time where I can say "you know, the firecracker orange chicken really showed up today". I got a little distracted there. My point being, Chicken Ranch and its 18 different chicken based menu options (get a new bit) satiates the desert dwellers. Funny enough, the asian style broccolini stole the show. It isn't everyday that a side piece ends up being something to write home about. read more
