Ordered the hot sandwich (base heat), chicken tenders and wings (mild heat). Everything is freshly made. The sandwich was good, but I should have ordered the after burner because the base wasn't spicy at all. Tenders and wings are cooked well. I wasn't a fan of the sauce. I can't describe why, but it just didn't wow me (but it didn't gross me out either). Service was friendly. Seating at a table is tough. read more

Look, simply put the place is halfway decent, no doubt. However, it is just downright no Hot Chicken, or at least not the way I imagine Hot Chicken being. It is far more like sauced tenders, that are in fact good. The service was fast and the place was clean, but parking was somewhat tight. read more

So I finally came to this place! I get my haircut next-door and so I decided after an appointment to go and try this place for lunch. I ordered the chicken fingers and an order of fries to go. I can't remember the sauce they cook the chicken in but it was more tangy:sweet than hot (they have probably 15 different options). I also got two sides of honey mustard and a side of their standard sauce for the fries. I should have paid more attention to what I was ordering, but my expectations were not very high. Why I don't know. I was blown away by this Hot Chicken place! I could not believe how delicious the two chicken tenders were and the fries. First off I was thinking like a basket of chicken tenders. Oh no, you get two because they're each the size of a chicken breast. And the fries were hot crispy yet on the inside as fluffy as air! Hands-down, the best chicken tenders and fries I have ever had! And I'm not joking. The gentleman at the register was great even when I was asking questions and I was not making any sense. I really appreciate he did not look at me like I was crazy. I will absolutely be going to Hot Chicken again and I'm bringing friends! read more

Let's walk through my experience. Their shared parking lot is small and not user friendly. Access from Tamiami isn't great from the east side. On a Wednesday night at 6:50 the place was sort of dark, but seemed clean. The young woman that served me at the counter was professional and nice enough, but I would not call her unfriendly but very no non-sense and not briming with personality. As I was the only customer maybe she was letting boredom get to her. I placed my order, chicken and waffles and a side of Mac and Cheese. The order was to go. I live 5 minutes from this location, if there is traffic. When I got home I ate immediately. The waffles were soggy. My guess is the way they pack their cardboard contain is the problem. The moisture from the freshly cooked chicken is soaked in by the waffles. Since I hate soggy food, the waffles were disappointing, although their flavor wasn't all bad. They do seem to use a bit much vanilla (think it was vanilla) in their batter. The chicken was not at all crispy. Had the chicken was tender, had nice flavor but the skin was kinda gross it was so soggy. The price, with tip, was okay. The value just wasn't there. This is my second visit there in 3 years. I doubt I'd rush back or recommend the place. There are just to many places in SRQ that offer a better ROI. Now, crispy chicken and waffles I don't have to ring out, I'd go back. read more

Visiting area and saw HCK Chicken had Nashville Hot chicken, always a go-to when I am on the road. They did not disappoint! Tenders are huge, hand breaded and cooked to order. Cook even checks internal temp of each piece before placing in sauce. I opted for the Trinidad Scorpion (very hot with excellent taste) and grabbed a bottle to take home with me.

I recently tried HCK and the food was delicious. They have so many flavors to choose from and the chicken is cooked perfectly. We tried three different flavors and they were amazing, really spot on in taste. The staff was incredibly helpful to explain the flavors so I knew what I wanted to order. The staff is friendly and helpful. I loved the mac and cheese BTW, really good. I would have to say parking is a little difficult for the location , so be careful parking. The restaurant was clean and overall HCK is my new chicken go to!!! You really need to try this place, you wont be disappointed. read more

Honestly needed hangover food on a Sunday and got the Nashville chicken sandwich with base sauce and my sister got the tenders with After Burn sauce. Chicken was dropped after we ordered it. It was fresh, crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. Sauces are spicy with a slight bit of sweetness. The service was top notch. Lisa was great. She let us try a couple sauces, answered our questions, and I even saw her clear a table for someone that walked in when this is a fast casual place. She is attentive and kind. Would recommend rather you have a hangover or not. Also, the sauce for the fries is delicious. read more

There is limited seating in this restaurant. I think this place is fairly new but an amazing addition to Sarasota. The manager/owner was super nice since it was our first time visiting. He let us try the different spice levels. There's 4 different spice levels and we opted for the 2nd one. The flavors are more sweet and then had a little after kick. The wings were meaty and the sandwich was huge!! The fries were amazing with their house sauce. All of their sauces were good! We got a combo and the owner was super nice and allowed us to switch it out for Gatorade. read more

One star for prices, but five stars for taste. I ordered the combo number 2 which is chicken tenders and fries, the drink is not included and costs an additional 2.79. So you're looking at over $16 for two big tenders and a small helping of fries and a soda. I was looking forward to trying this place after reading about it on the news. It tasted great, but the prices are out of control for the amount of food you get. These are restaurant prices, and this place is fast food.

Our food was made fresh, no fried chicken just waiting around like a typical fast food joint. Our cashier gave us some suggestions on sauces.

I've never had a Chicago style hotdog so I wanted to give this place a try while in town…read more When I walked in I was greeted by a nice guy behind the counter, he was chatting with another couple but stopped to greet me and ask if I needed more time to review the menu. The place is small and personal, with pictures from different eras of time. There is enough room to eat inside either at the small tables or the bar top. I ordered the chili slaw dog with fries. It was delicious, the fries were the way I like them. The Chicago style hotdog. It was surprisingly good. I've never had a hotdog with pickles and tomatoes, it was really good and so were the fries. The prices are very reasonable for what you get. Imagine getting a dog and fries for less than $10. If you're on a budget please try this place you will not be disappointed!

We ordered the ahi poke app, which was a 5/5. We also ordered salads and added the fresh catch fish of the day. The salads were OK- kind of plain but I wouldn't call them bad either. Service was quick and our waiter was helpful.
