I'm going to be completely honest, this was the best buffalo chicken sandwich that I've ever had - and I've got a body built by fried chicken. My family and I were camping down the road and wanted something to eat after spending time on the beach, and I had to force myself to slow down as I ate, and I'm not joking. The term 'destination dish' applies here, because I live an hour and a half from this place and would be GLAD to make the drive to eat here again. read more

Really enjoyed this place. Have been 2 times tried a few different items but the Boxes are my favorite. Definitely a must try if in the area. Have been to Crack Shack in San Diego and Hattie Bs in Nashville and this is up there with both read more

"Since You've Been Gone" Sandwich - A Masterpiece! If you're anywhere near Ashtabula and you haven't tried Fire! Chicken yet, you're missing out on a culinary experience that will absolutely change your life. I stopped in for their flash special, "Since You've Been Gone" ($14)--fried (or grilled) chicken, housemade deli roast beef, RB sauce, horseradish, and liquid cheddar--and I can't stop thinking about it. Pro tip: Add bacon. Trust me, it transforms this already mind-blowing sandwich into the best alternative to a turducken you'll ever find at a chicken shack. I paired mine with their fried pickles as a side, and it was the perfect complement to an already perfect meal. The magic is in the details. They nailed the ratios--nothing was overpowering, not even the horseradish, which is notoriously tricky to balance. Every sauce added to the sandwich's bold and unique flavor profile without competing for attention. And the textures? Unreal. Juicy chicken, crunchy breading, soft and warm bun--it was a symphony of flavors and textures in every bite. And those fried pickles? Game-changing. They brought just the right amount of tangy vinegar and a hint of garlic while doubling as the perfect mop for any extra sauce. Shoutout to the team: * Chicken Daddy? Playing 4d chess with this recipe. * The cook? Clearly working magic in the kitchen. * My waitress? On top of her game with quick refills and great service. This special gets a 10/10. Don't sleep on it. Get in here and treat yourself--you'll thank me later! What do you think? I'm just hoping next year we'll be able to look back on this as the first year of a new Yule-time tradition! read more

Best chicken sandwich I've had in a long time and the service was great. The potions are good sized too.

I heard about this near perfect chicken sandwich where people traveled near and far to get... so found it was minutes away from my house! I got the spicy version, which was delicious! The fries and Mac and cheese (which also came recommended) were good, but just average. You come here for that chicken folks! It's pretty epic, inexpensive and the location even has a cheerful drive through! So four stars JUST for that light flakey chickeny goodness! And and extra point for the friendly. read more

Phone order and pick up window makes it easy. Sandwiches are delicious. We do the Build Your Own. We don't like sauce and to us plain is perfect. Regular fries are the best. read more

Great food! I had not been to Ashtabula in a while and was looking or some lunch. The food was awesome. It's worth a drive up to the harbor and stopping in! read more

Great tasting food. Great service. Was up visiting family and we stopped by for lunch. Loved the inner decor of the center brick area especially with the doors open to the patio. The prices were good. I'd say if I had any complaint it was too much food, huge chicken piece on the sandwich (cooked great, crispy but moist) and plenty of great seasoned fries. read more

Fire Chicken Sandwiches - BYO chicken sandwich with cheese and bacon - Chicken Shop Near Me - Ashtabula, Ohio

Over cooked French fries! No where on the menu does it state the only chicken they serve is thighs! Yuck! I wait all this time for a chicken sandwich that looked like they need to change their oil!!! Told waitresses it should be stated on menu thighs only!!! Told her I'm not eating it, that's no right. She came back with the bill stating she can't do anything about it. read more

My wife and I got the mac and sheesh we didn't realize it came with fries cause the menu didn't state it. We loved the chicken alot and the mac was great but the fries we thought were just fair, we would definitely just do nuggets and mac next time. Also they forgot 2 side sauces and a side of cole slaw. But still a solid 4 star place. read more

The food was great. The music they play in the restaurant was horrible. Head banging music the entire time we were there. Not very customer friendly. read more

I do not remember how I heard about this restaurant, but I started following them on FB before we even tried their food! Their FB posts were so funny and creative! So finally we made the drive to Ashtabula to try these sandwiches! I was really surprised at the area it was in. It reminds me of Tremont in CLE. A little TRENDY area that is so different from the rest of the city. It sits on the harbor, and you can see a lot of boats docked there for winter. The owner, Jeremy took our order and is so proud of his establishment, and his connection with his customers! And we could see that his customers love him back by the notes they leave on the table upstairs! We got the Fire Chicken Sandwich, coleslaw, mac n cheese and sidewinder fries! That is almost the whole menu! LOL The sandwich is Delish! The breading is different from everyone else's !! The twisty fries are thick and soft on the inside but crispy outside. The coleslaw is more vinegar based, and usually I prefer that.. but it was, I don't know, almost bitter tasting. I think they may want to change that up since Jeremy admitted that it is not his biggest seller. But the mac n cheese is a Huge hit with his customers and we can see why! It actually has cheesy flavor, and the texture is smooth and it is Yummy!! The Owner, Jeremy is very concerned about his customers experience and even takes Special Care of his regular clients!! Who doesn't appreciate being appreciated?!?! The menu is small - He does a few things and does them RIGHT!! Go, enjoy, walk around the area and talk to Jeremy! He will give you the 411 read more

Wowee- fried chicken magic. One of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. Chicken was crispy and very light. I had the spicey variety and it had the perfect amount of spice. Wouldn't categorize as HOT but a nice warm spice. Fries were also good. Kinda like fat curved wedges. Very crispy frie shell. Definitely worth the drive. Thanks Fire. read more

As a pescatarian I often miss eating a juicy Fire Chicken Sammich it's delicious. They're making wonderful grub fr, that ish bussss !

Yeah, I ain't going to lie, that chicken sandwich was pretty damn fire! I applaud them for picking one dish, and doing it right. I ordered the OG, which I would rate as "just spicy enough". The chicken was light and crispy, not greasy at all, nor soggy, even after sitting in the bag for the twenty or so minutes it took me to get home. I mean, I can't say a bad thing about it. Probably the best fried chicken sandwich I've ever had. How does it compare to the "Gold Standard", God's own chicken sandwich from Chick 'fillet? I'd honestly say its better. Hopefully I don't go to hell for saying that, but I'm standing by it. Maybe the Fire in the name is referring to the fires of hell? Maybe the owner sold his or her soul to the devil for the recipe good enough to successfully beat the chicken sandwich of Christ himself? Who knows. The coleslaw was amazing too. read more

First time trying this place today and Wow . I know a chicken sandwich sounds trivial and basic but wow was it good! I will definitely be back! I wish I had another one right now. read more

Fires pickles don't taste like pickles to to thin!!!!! It's an ok place. I went for a quick lunch it's nothing fancy and really only place to get something to eat in the area read more

While not much to write home about on the inside, the food was delicious! The box is huge and could easily be shared with another person. My son enjoyed one of the sandwiches. He is very particular when it comes to fried sandwiches and likes spice as well. It met both expectations. The lady at the front was very nice and helped us make decisions. It was fun to watch the draw bridge for the boats and watch the sail boats go in and out. The 4/5 rating is purely based on the appearance of the seating area. It needs some TLC. read more

Very basic menu but the chicken sandwiches are sooooooo delicious ! I drive an hour one way just to have one. Fries are very good as well. I highly recommend this local independent business. Check it out ! read more

SO GOOD. Driving in from out of town and stumbled upon the sweet little town. Fire chicken for the win. Easy and casual dining, kids loved watching the bridge and waterway from the window. Worth the trip. Excellent mind-blowing sand-os. read more

Had a quick lunch here. The food was great and staff was friendly. The sandwiches are huge!!

By far one of the best Sammie's I've ever eaten. The nug boxes are amazing as well! Price is decent for what you are served. 10/10 would recommend. read more

These sandwiches are amazing! I live in Houston and come back to Ashtabula to visit family. We were told the shop opened up so we gave it a try. Best chicken sandwich I've had in a very long time! Their batter is super crunchy,great spice, and not greasy. Their chicken is good quality meat. They don't use the cheap rubbery saline filled. We tried the macaroni and cheese too. That's a definite must as well. We are wishing them the best and hope others will help keep their doors open so we can enjoy again on our next visit!!! read more

I love these sandwiches and just yesterday my wife said the nuggets are amazing too. It's a small business and everything is so fresh. I almost always think of this place first when considering a lunch place: I'm so happy they extended the hours! read more

Really good Cole slaw. My wife was disappointed in their chicken as she ordered spicy but didn't think it was that spicy. When you ordered the spiciest, they just pour hot sauce over it. I tried a spicy chicken nugget and thought it had a nice kick. I think my wife and I just compared it to Hot Chicken Takeover in Columbus which has the spice bakes in with the breading and not the sauce. The hours are a bit strange as well especially for us who like to eat around 6 or 7. I can see they have a market for it though and it ic a nice option. read more

The j bird is the best chicken sandwich I've ever had, top 5 of all sandwiches!! They need to open every day!!

Great Chicken sandwiches and chicken nuggets. Hoping to see these sandwiches become more reasonably priced and for more sides to become available. read more

Place is awesome. Food is awesome. The spicy is not spicy at all (and I'm not a fan of spicy) but It had great flavor. If you go in knowing it's has more flavor than spice you won't be disappointed. read more
