Just be forewarned: Nashville is not effing around when they say hot! In Pittsburgh, people think Arby's Horsey Sauce is hot. They think mild salsa is hot. They think ice cold water is hot. So be advised. At CHIKN, hot means HOT, and Damn Hot is more of an Olympic Event than a meal. The only people more insane for heat than Nashville are the Thai. So like the Damn Hot from CHIKN is like Thai spice level 8 out of 10. read more

Okay so this Nashville Style Crispy Chicken Breast, Fresh Dill Pickles, Tangy Coleslaw, Southern Comeback Sauce stacked and all served on an Oven-Fresh Brioche Bun from @hotchikn in Cranberry Township was an absolute #MOUTHFUL This sandwich is definetly messy, but worth the fight for every bite in my opinion. I won't be having this regularly because it was certainly a hearty piece of chicken and more than filled my belly - french fries were fresh, crispy and necessary. Dining room seating available, booth, benches and bar style seating fill the storefront location For passing Jake's #SweetTea test too, we both thought there was a healthy amount of sugar in this restaurant's take on the classic southern beverage You can order at a kiosk or order with the kind people working - service was superb. read more

CHiKN - Classic Sandwich - Chicken Shop Near Me - Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania

I stopped in for a solo lunch this week, and I'm glad that I did. For what it is - a fast casual fried chicken place - it was really good. I ordered a chicken sandwich and fries, and went with the hot level of spice (one below thier hottest). The sandwich was big, the toppings were good, and the chicken was great. I hate when I order something listed as spicy on the menu and it's not. No fooling around here...it was HOT. Anyway, this place doesn't seem to get much love on Yelp, so I wanted to share that my experience was pretty good. Clean, friendly staff, solid chicken. I'll be back. read more

Truth be told, I did a U-turn once I realized I just passed a place I've been wanting to try. Another truth be told, I almost did a 2nd U-turn once I glanced at the menu board and saw the prices. 11.00 for a chicken sandwich was a little more than what I wanted to gamble with, but opted to give it a try. Sandwich was prepared in a reasonable time and actually looked better than the picture posted on their signage. Good decision so far. One bite later confirmed that it passed the test, not quite the eleven dollar test, but far from a disappointment. Staff on hand were in close down mode and offered limited interaction. Hard to say if any extra effort will be made to stop again, but it's worth another visit. read more

I didn't stop here for the longest time but when I did, I found out that this stuff is good. Fresh, hot, crispy chicken tenders. And they're not skimping on size. These are nice portions. The heat level: so they have levels, and I think it's a nice seasoning mix that they are using. The strips aren't drenched in sauce; I like it. However, the heat level is not consistent. I've gotten "HOT" where it was like your mouth was on fire and I've gotten "HOT" that was relatively mild. They give you some pickles, which is great! No so great: they put them in the cardboard box and the box doesn't survive. Fries can turn soggy too. If you ask them to put the pickles in a cup, they will! However once, the cup had no lid and the result was the same :-D. I think this is a major issue. I think they have a good chicken product but they need to fix a couple of important things that come in the way of enjoying the food. read more

Had some medium tenders and cole slaw. Tenders were good and the medium was hot enough...should have gone one level higher as I generally like spicy foods. The slaw was great...not soupy and mayo-overbearing slaw like most other places. Staff was friendly and efficient. Great space. Well-maintained with nice decor. Adequate and shared parking lot. read more

Yummy yum!! These are my favorite Chicken sandwiches I have ever had. I get the medium spice and get my father and husband the southern spice ( no spicy ) and we got an order of Chicken tenders with southern spice too. You order on the touch screens on the counter and pay at the machine next to screen and then the screen tells you which number you are. Order was out quick and get service. If you want a delicious chicken sandwich this is the place give it a try! read more

Entirely too greasy. The boxes were disintegrating on the way home. The food was not worth the drive either. Edited to add the fries were soaking with grease and soggy. It's such a let down after spending $50+ on 3 meals! read more

I love this chicken and the only two locations in the area are Cranberry and Oakland. They are my least two favorite locations in the area, but will travel to for this chicken once in a while at least. The cranberry location is a lot smaller than Oakland. Of course I have my staple sandwich the regular chicken "medium" today which was phenomenal as always, and we also tried the hot honey, which was fantastic. read more

CHiKN - Damn good chicken!!! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania

Nashville hot fries, double chicken, medium spice, for six years. Never let me down. God bless Chik'n.

The location is nice, a busy strip. For a fast food spot, this is nice. I usually get the hot honey chicken sandwich meal, they even have banana pudding! I would recommend because it taste good. It's cheap, fast, amazing compared to McDonald and Chick-fil-A etc and I'm sure their meat is real as well. read more

Fast takeout option when I was working in the area. The three chicken tenders I ordered were large and plenty. The side of crinkle fries equally big. They have 5 different sauce options. I was told by others that their sauces run hot so I just got mild. The mild did not have any heat so I will get medium next time. The southern dipping sauce and pickles included were good. read more

Mediocre sandwich. The kids working there were either high or acting like they were. ....

I have ordered online via Door Dash from this place multiple times. The most consistent attribute of them is inconsistency. Each time I received my orders with different quality and always with missing item(s). For example, last night, the chicken tenders were almost burnt and the cokes were missing. Also, the boxes were wet and almost torn apart. In my previous orders, I had wrong labeling of hotness, missing various items including dressing, pickles, beverage, and others. You might ask why I continued ordering while they have consistently had missing items and other problems? Because their chicken, when prepared correctly, is delicious. But it is not worth the anger because of them not being able to handle the simplest orders. I won't order from them anymore. read more

CHiKN - Chicken Tenders Almost burnt! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania

The chicken nuggets are good, not fatty, nicely breaded, all natural, and the seasoning is tasty. I usually get the medium spice level. They're just tossed in a box with a packaged special sauce for dipping. Sauce is excellent. The only improvement is maybe a little less greasy, put another paper towel or something in the container to absorb some of the grease. Service- very friendly whenever I came in. Had my online order, ready to go on time. The atmosphere is fun, they've got some places to sit so you can slam down some chicken. Yum! read more

We dined in and ordered the sandwich combo and 5 piece strip combo. It's a bit pricey for chicken...but the food is tasty. I always enjoy the sandwich with the slaw and pickles to balance out the heat (I order Hot). The Medium heat level strips were too hot for the wife . Maybe some ranch dressing would help. I agree with one review that talked about the noise level/music. read more

I would give it a 4.8 Nice little fast food restaurant. Service was extremely fast. I got the Nashville Hot which is chicken, fries, bacon, nacho cheese all thrown together with your choice of sauce. The price was about standard. It filled me up and i am a big eater. It was recommended by one of the guys working there. I will definitely go back. Maybe bump the sauce up to hot to give it a little more zing. Probably get the same thing again but i am curious what the other items would bring as well read more

Atmosphere, staff, quick, and the food was delicious!! We will be back for sure!! Highly recommend!! Chicken was fresh, juicy, and mouth watering!! Can't wait to try more!! read more

We tried CHiKN in Oakland two years ago and were not impressed. However, several people said they really enjoyed it in Wexford and Cranberry. We decided to give it a chance. I'm really glad that we did. My mom, husband and I really enjoyed it. My mom and I had the southern chicken sandwich. It was huge and on a delicious giant brioche bun from Mediterra. The chicken was so tender, juicy and flavorful. It was so much better than the one we had in Oakland. I also loved the pickles. I personally thought the Comeback Sauce was just ok. I love sauces but I'd skip it the next time. My husband had the mild chicken sandwich plain. He really enjoyed it. Last time, he thought it was bland. This time he thought it was moist, juicy and very flavorful. We also got a giant side of fries for $2. They were good and heated up well today in the toaster oven when we had the second half of our sandwiches for lunch. Definitely go check them out. When I picked up my to go order yesterday, someone ordered fries topped with chicken tenders, cheese and sauce. It looked amazing. I'm trying that next time. read more

Limited menu, so limited you can just say "okay" and order everything on it. (Ref movie "Back to School", "tall and fat" commercial). Got the mild chicken tenders and slaw. Came out fast. Tenders were thick, perfectly seasoned and tasty. Slaw had the perfect moisture. Place was clean, staff was friendly. read more

I wanted to like this so much more, but it was alright for food at this price point. It was difficult to differentiate between my Medium and my dining partner's Hot sandwich. (The server seemed confused and both sandwiches tasted and looked the same.) The mac n cheese was a let down as I was expecting something creamier or more baked like? The topping left the mac dry, and flavor was heavy on the cheddar. If you like a dry mac, then this is for you! Inside was clean and the staff was pleasant. read more

The food here is absolutely amazing. One of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever had. The gentleman serving us was polite and professional. The establishment itself was really dirty. They do need to up their cleaning standards because they have a really great product to be proud of. read more

CHiKN is my go to for takeout dinner on a weekend. Eating inside is a bit obnoxious with their super loud rap music blaring which doesn't really scream "Nashville Hot Chicken". I like to get the chicken sandwich medium. It's the perfect spice level of having a little spice without making tomorrow morning painful. If you haven't had Nashville hot chicken it's pretty close to the real thing and a worthy substitute. read more

I go here every time I drive past Cranberry I'm obsessed. The spice is addictive and so is the comeback sauce

Stopped in recently on my way home from work to grab dinner for the fam. I'd only ever been to the Oakland location (which I enjoyed), so I was looking forward to coming for comparison's sake. I did t place my order in advance so I ended waiting about 10 minutes but that was reasonable to me, especially since it was 4 meals. The hot chicken sandwich didn't disappoint and had some nice heat to it and my wife got the mild chicken fingers that she thought were a bit more than mild but still enjoyed. Reasonable prices and quick service. Would come back. read more

Such a great addition to Cranberry Township! My husband and I stopped in to pick up lunch and we were happy to see a decent amount of other folks supporting this local business. We ordered the 3 piece tenders (hot), the 10 piece nugs (medium) and the Nashville Hot fries (medium). The portions were great--the fries could have been a meal themselves! More on the fries...they were crinkle cut and extra crispy so they did not get soggy when they piled on the chicken, cheese, bacon and red peppers. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had just the right amount of heat. We also loved the comeback sauce (maybe a mustard base?) served with the chicken and the side of pickles. Service was quick (during lunchtime) and the food was piping hot. We'll definitely be back. In fact, we're already planning what we want to order next time! read more

I'm a sucker for fried chicken when I want a cheat day meal. And Chikn did NOT disappoint!!!! It's so crispy and delicious. I got the regular chicken sandwich with extra pickles, a side of Mac and cheese and topped it off with the banana pudding for dessert. The meal was so big I actually ate half and saved the rest for lunch the next day and it reheated perfectly!!! The flavors were soooo good. I definitely will be coming back and recommend to anyone who loves crisp chicken and wants something different and was more delicious than Chick-fil-A. read more

Chicken was good. Unfortunately was told we could not eat in even though didn't close for another half hour.

Chikn is cold and sloppy! You don't have to worry, Chic Filet, about them taking any of your business. No one greets you or even says thanks. We ordered online for this new restaurant in Cranberry Twp,, Pa. First and foremost their online ordering system is not good. It adds subtracts items at will. It took almost 10 minutes to order 2 sandwiches, fries and some nuggets. The sandwich is $9. It was large and you order any degree of hot. The chicken itself was not even a warm temperature and it probably was from the mounds of cold slaw and cold pickles that were heaped on the sandwich. My wife finally took it apart and ate it with a fork (see pic). There was some good....the fries were good and the nuggets were warm. Have your slaw and pickles on the side! read more

CHiKN - My wife's solution to eating the soaked sandwich! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania

First time here with their recent grand opening and they unfortunately have some issues to work through. First, the restaurant's menu board was down, but not a huge issue. Secondly, it was the lunch rush and they still hadn't put on the nozzles for the fountain machine and seemed confused when I told them the machine wasn't working properly. As for the food, we ordered both the "Mild" and the "Hot" sandwiches and the spice level and flavor was identical. Mind you, there is another heat level separating the two so you should be able to notice. The fries were overcooked and were oddly full of grease on the inside but rock hard on the outside - had to throw them away. I appreciate having a new chicken sandwich place but they fell flat on my first visit. It is worth mentioning that there were about 40 people inside dining, ordering or waiting for takeout. It was uncomfortably full even for non-Pandemic times as it's a relatively small place. read more

The chicken sandwich was amazing, it was my first time eating here and I went straight to "damn hot", that was a mistake. It was very spicy, my mouth was burning for 20 minutes after eating it. I have a high tolerance for spicy food but this was next level. To give a comparison, BWW's hottest sauce they make is not as hot as this. I recommend starting out at a lower level and working up. read more

Tasteless, dry and chewy chicken Driving by we noticed this place and decided to give it a try for dinner. My husband ordered and said the guy was very helpful. He placed the order to go and had to ask for forks and other items. The food was nicely boxed but upon eating it we didn't have an enjoyable experience. We ordered a not spicy chicken for the kids but they put hot spices on the fries so the kids wouldn't eat any of it. The salad was okay. We ordered the mild flavor since the guy mentioned the next one up was a whole new level. The chicken itself was dry and didn't have much flavor. read more

I decided to try this place on a whim because I was craving.... well... chikn. I walked inside around 7pm on a Saturday evening. The place was moderately busy. A few tables had people and one person was in front of me and some more came in behind me. The menu is small - they really only have boneless chicken with a few sides. I decided to get the Mac Daddy - which is their Nashville chicken (I decided on medium heat) on a sandwich with mac and cheese and sauce. I also got a side of their coleslaw and a drink. It was pretty close to $20 total, so pretty pricey. I sat down to wait because I got my order to-go. It took less than 10 minutes, so great on the service. The sandwich was SO good. Huge with a jumbo size piece of chicken, and a lot of the mac and cheese. The Nashville sauce was so tasty, but even at medium heat it was very spicy. I was looking for the coleslaw to cool it down a little, but it had a sweet, maple syrup taste to it that I didn't like. So all in all, I LOVED the sandwich, but I'd skip the slaw next time and dial down the heat to mild. I'll definitely go back! read more

First week of open. It was a bit chaotic, but to be expected in opening week. We did order from the Wexford pop-up about a month ago, so we knew what to expect. Next time I'll probably order online instead of at the restaurant. I waited about twenty minutes or so for my food. They were slammed with dinners and online orders. I didn't think the wait was that bad however. One suggestion, the young ladies that were working the front need to move a bit faster in packing the orders. It seems as though o my one person was packing. She would pack an order, then stop and take her mask down, take a drink, stand for a minute, then start back to packing. Also, when food was ready they would very quietly say a name, look around and then when nobody heard them say the name they would just go place it in the shelf. Then inevitably people would go look at the name on the tag. You can't hear what they say when the order is ready and they say it only once. The kitchen staff was on point and working their butts off. They did a great job trying to catch up. They were flying around. They seemed to have some computer glitches too, the staff was providing a manager/owner there constant feedback. As soon as my food was ready I rushed home and my son and I dug in. I've hand the chicken sandwich before and knew I liked it. It's a very generous sandwich, with a great flavor. I order fries for us to split, which were just okay. I also ordered Mac and cheese for us to try. It wasn't bad, I may have skipped the bbq seasoning that was sprinkled on it if I knew they were going to put it on there. My son ordered the chicken tenders. He said they were just so so. He wasn't as found of them as he was his sandwich he had last time. It was the dry seasoning they had in the tenders that he wasn't crazy about. All in all, I liked it once again and would go back. Oh and we got a free shirt too. read more

Came here on a weekend day for lunch and they were moderately busy. The multi-colored hair guy at the register who took my order was friendly. The place is nicely laid out, but not clean as all the tables had crumbs and liquid spilled on them. I opted for their chicken sandwich and when I got it, it looked really good! But it was a dry-seasoned chicken, so it really needed the sauce to help make it "wet." The other issue was that the bread was cold and not toasted, heated, grilled, steamed - nothing... just a bun. Then, to add to this, the "slaw" that was on the burger was literally slaw mix with no sauce added to it!?!? WHY?!?! It was just dry cabbage and julienned carrot and it was so very boring. Why put that on a sandwich? So, it was basically a dry, basic sandwich, though I did really like the flavor of the chicken itself, the spice was very moderate, as I ordered a "medium" heat. If you're in the mood for a really Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, go elsewhere, because what I had on this visit wasn't it. read more

We tried the Cranberry location for lunch today. I was a little skeptical because of some of the reviews, but this place is actually good. We used the online ordering (very smooth process). We ordered 2 sandwiches (one mild and the other damn hot), fries, mac & cheese, and a banana pudding. The sandwiches were really good. The mild was just enough spice and the damn hot was really, really hot. Both sandwiches had the slaw and sauce, which made the flavor really unique and tasty. The fries were great, done just right and sprinkled with some seasoning. The mac & cheese was also good (tasted baked), had good flavor and was also sprinkled with some seasoning. The banana pudding was okay. It could've had more bananas in it and been more of a pudding consistency. While the flavor was good, it felt like it was traditional banana pudding with lots of whipped cream mixed it, which gave it a bit of a loose consistency. I will say, that this pudding was refreshing after the hot flavors. It really helped to cool down the taste buds. :) The pickup was a breeze. Ordered online in advance, drove over, got a text when the food was ready, went into the Pickup door, grabbed our lunch, and we were on our way. The pricing is a bit on the expensive side for a weekday lunch, but it's not greasy fast food and the quality is deserving of a little higher price point. One note of caution: Hot is VERY hot here so if you're a weakling (like me) go for the Southern or Mild and you should be okay :) We'll definitely be back to try more on the menu! read more

Here's why Chikn has won me over - Food With such a simple menu you would expect some places like this can really mess things up. This place turned this simple concept and runs with it. Heat levels are just the right amount of spice. Tenders are a standard but definitely try the sandwich. - Consistency in food Simple menu keeps them consistent. Been several times already and food taste is as expected Every time. Well done here! - Service Standard across the board. But there is this one guy who's always o his game. Dark Curley headed guy who seems to be very profession and courteous. Need more like this dude no matter what restaurant. Can't catch his name tho. - Atmosphere I like the space and set up. Music is trendy but so is this place. Gives a great vibe but you get children may have trouble with noise level of music. But that's an easy fix. read more
