I saw Happies Hand Made all over social media, so I made a note to check it out next time I'm…read morecraving fried chicken. Happies is located in Arts District and I came here on a Sunday dinner and didn't have any problems with parking. But, I can see how it might be hard to find if you come during peak hours. The restaurant was pretty empty. First thing I noticed was that there were tons of employees but no one really said anything. Since there was no one ordering, they were all standing around. You can just order at the kiosk but I wanted to ask a few questions but was kind of left to fend for myself. I ended up ordering the chicken tenders and chicken tenders with salad. I thought the restaurant ambience was nice. And after waiting for about 10 minutes, my order came out. They gave me extra sauce but again no explanation on why the extra sauce was provided. As for the food, I thought the chicken was kind of bland. I expected some Sichuan style but hardly any spice on the chicken. Once of the sauces was a Sichuan chili crisp, which gave the chicken more taste. Maybe the chicken was bland because I was supposed to dip it in the sauces? Aside from that, the other sauces were average (ranch and sweet/sour sauce). The salad was definitely a huge miss. They didn't dress the salad properly and only put dressing on top, so I just got a bunch of romaine lettuce at the end. The best part of my meal was the fries, which was crispy and fresh. Also, the fries were pretty generous. I think that the food was just average. Probably will not come back here but glad I came to check out what the hype was about.

The only complaint I have is that the ac was out. Hope they can fix it soon.

I've been walking by Wildbird for almost two years but last Sunday was the first time my wife and I…read morewalked over and finally give the place a try, Sunday was a pretty hot day in DTLA so when we headed over for dinner we planned to sit down and eat inside, the only issue was the restaurant itself was roughly 1600 degrees and completely unbearable to be inside of, so we ordered at the kiosk and waited outside so we wouldn't cook. The menu here is comparable to a place like El Pollo Loco with the type of chicken, though I'm assuming the food is a bit of a higher quality. I ended up ordering a two piece chicken plate with my sides consisting of the Macaroni and Cheese as well as the Sweet Potatoes. I'm going to get the bad out of the way first, the Sweet Potatoes were kinda gross and it doesn't bring me joy to say that. They simply didn't taste good and I'm usually a fan of Sweet Potatoes. The Macaroni and Cheese was pretty solid, though on the runny side but did taste alright. The chicken itself was good, cooked well, on the juicy side, and the skin had solid flavour. Overall, I had a mixed experience with Wildbird. The food was not something I see myself craving, but at the same time it's also a place I want to give another try.

I love The Red Chick. I'm not much of a chicken tenders person as I prefer my chicken bone in…read morehowever the crunch and the flavors of their hot seasoning is amazingly addictive actually and the cauliflower bites are spectacular. They are always , tender yet firm enough to hold itself as if they cook them from fresh as opposed to frozen like some places do and you end up biting into fried watery mush. I have tried all the flavors except the hottest and I found my sweet spot is spark, which is medium heat. I absolutely love it. I'm not much of a sauce person, but I love to eat my tenders with the honey which just adds a little sweet to that heat and makes it so so good... oh and did I mention that crunch on the tenders? Thursdays are the best days to go because they have their special, which is $2 per tender. This allows you to taste several heat levels to find out which one is your favorite. You can do that under $10. Again, I highly recommend the cauliflower bites. I get them at the same heat level as chicken tenders spark medium for me please and thank you!

Unfortunately, I wouldn't say this one makes my top 5. The seasoning was just okay, and the tenders weren't really hot when served. I'm not sure if they had been sitting out or reheated, but some parts were practically room temperature, which was a little disappointing. One thing I did appreciate, though, was the potato wedges! Not many chicken sandwich spots offer these, so it was a nice change. They were seasoned really well. We also ordered the cheese curds, which were pretty good. Overall, it was an okay experience. Nothing that really stood out enough to make me want to rush back.

So I offered to. Even "cold" (it wasn't delivered, she brought a portion home in a to-go bag) , with no extra syrup or anything, the waffle was good ...and the fried chicken was REALLY good. I added it to my "want to go" list, thinking I'd get over there and try a fresh meal myself soon. But life happened and here I am, hungry and tired and unable to leave a job site, and when I opened up Yelp to look for a restaurant that delivered, it showed me Monty's (I had already given it five stars, so that's normal Yelp behavior). The 3-piece chicken and waffle arrived pretty much when promised (30min), and it was still nice and hot. Even better than I remembered! Now I really do need to get over there in person to thank the chef. Roscoe's, you've got a small but mighty competitor right here!
