    It is rated so highly because it is SO good. Best place for fried chicken. You order at the counter and pick your seat. The people who work here are young guys and very friendly. They give you a chicken in a tortilla, such a great idea. They also give you a small soft serve if you ask :) It is somewhat inexpensive and definitely worth it.

    Crispy chicken sliders that are so juicy and so flavorful!!! Can pick your own spice level which is perfect. The fries are the best!!! So crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. And their coleslaw is the perfect side. And everyone gets a complimentary soft serve ice cream cone after your meal. A great chicken spot for sure!!! Nicest, friendliest staff!!! Plenty of tables to eat in and can take out as well.

    Very solid hot chicken option. If this were closer to me, I'd definitely come more often. The slider/tender combo was the best of both worlds.

    I was in the area and decided to give HCA a try. Quaint and casual spot that seats about The young man at the counter was friendly and helpful. Doing a to-go order. I ordered the hot tender combo and my daughter ordered the slider combo. Combos do not include drinks;only fries. We ate in the car because we had our dog with us. The food was good. Have I had better hot chicken? Yes. Would I go back again? Maybe

    Been here 4 times with a friend and we will definitely be back. Initially the prices may seem a bit pricy but I find the justification in the quality and care they take in their business. Fantastic fries that beat Red Robin or 5 guys. A sauce you need two of and spice levels that are true to their word. Throw kfc and whatever chicken place you go to and come here.

    Delicious! Great service and the best thing is they have nacho cheese as a condiment available without asking Everything was delicious! Loved the Mac and cheese and the seasoning for the chicken! Only suggestion would be to add some of the same seasoning to the fries but that's a personal preference!

    Complementary soft, serve ice cream! Yum

    This place is in a hard to see location but don't let that fool you food here is good! The service even better! It's a little hidden gem located behind black rock coffee at Tatum & Thunderbird. We were greeted upon walking in by Hudson who went above & beyond to give us the run down on how the chicken is served sliders or tenders & levels of heat. We opted to order the rooster which I recommend it was two generous sliders & an order of the most crispy salty delicious fries. I split this with son we opted to get the lite heat & it had some flavor & kick but not too hot for kids to enjoy. My husband ordered the chill bill hot! His nose was running from the heat lol. So next time he said he will get the lite heat. One of the stand out things to me besides the wonderful employees & service was they have hot cheese sauce for your fries & sauces at no extra charge. We all left very happy & full. They also give you a complimentary soft serve cone which the was perfect ending to our meal. I over indulged but enjoyed it. This place is small but gets busy there was a line almost out the door after 12:45 pm on a Friday afternoon. I'm glad to have given this place a try and support a local place vs. a chain. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

    Incredible chicken. So juicy and full of flavor! I had to ask the owner if they air fry the chicken because it wasn't greasy or full of breading. She assured me it goes in a deep fryer- you literally would never guess. It's the perfect amount of heat and sweet with the sauce. I am not a coleslaw fan but my husband was like "omg this coleslaw is soooo good" The "slider" is the size of a regular chicken sandwich. We are still full hours later. So happy we stopped by for a quick lunch.

    Tender Loving meal with cheese sauce and a soda

    I have been meaning to try this place for a while and I stopped by one evening. A large group was inside waiting for their food as well as one or two small groups. One customer was ahead of me so I used their kiosk to order. I got their tender loving meal, which comes with two tenders served on fresh warmed tortillas with pickles, Alley Sauce (honey mustard) and fries. It was easy to order and the owner made sure I had no problems. He also offered me a free drink which was very kind. I made sure to sample their Stubborn sodas (made with cane sugar) and ended up with a mix of their agave vanilla creme soda and their root beer, delicious. Even though the person ahead of me ordered a family meal, my food did not take long to make. While I was waiting, I got some of their cheese sauce to pair with the fries. It comes in a large vat and there are other condiments like ketchup, salt and pepper available. My food was packaged well and I was on my way home to eat it. I had ordered one hot and one x-hot tender and they were labeled with small stickers which I didn't really pay attention to, but was helpful. The tenders were tasty and the x-hot was good but not overly spicy to me. Honestly a nice balance of heat without being overpowering. The fries were plentiful and delicious, and I enjoyed the pickle chips to pair with the chicken. I personally didn't love the tortillas, maybe because I wasn't expecting it, but I'd like to try their sandwich next time instead. I didn't get it this time because it comes with slaw and I'm not a big fan of that. The cheese sauce wasn't what I was expecting either, I was thinking it would be spicy but it was still good. The alley sauce was basically a honey mustard sauce and it was nice, though I probably could've eaten the tenders without any sauce. They were perfectly seasoned and didn't need anything. Overall this was a positive experience and I look forward to coming back again!

    This place is a hidden gem! Great service, the woman who helped us was very kind and gave us the run down on the menu and the spice levels since we had never been there before. I got the mixed up and my boyfriend got the Rooster and we were both super impressed. The alley sauce on the burger and on the side for the tender is like a honey mustard. Next time I want to try a hotter spice level and get their ranch! We both got sodas and liked the different varieties they offered from Stubborn. The Mac and cheese was pretty good, but the fries with the nacho cheese sauce were sooo good that I'll do that next time. This place was super clean and I liked that they had the to go boxes out if you need them. I ate all my food so sadly no leftovers for me. Give this place a try! We'll definitely be back!

    The chicken and fries are made fresh and served hot! Everything was delicious! The chicken is tender and juicy. Service was excellent! A pleasant surprise was the free soft serve ice cream cones for dessert!

The first thing that stands out is the massive, beautifully maintained outdoor seating area. It's covered, pet-friendly, and thoughtfully designed with fireplaces and privacy walls that give each table a more intimate feel. There's even an outdoor bar where you can grab a drink while you wait or just enjoy the atmosphere. Inside, the décor is incredibly creative. Butcher knives and custom cutting boards line the walls, and the open kitchen showcases hanging meats so you can see everything in action. The bakery area adds another layer of charm, with rolling pins and whisks hanging from the ceiling, it all feels intentional and immersive without being over the top. The menu is just as fun and different as the space itself. I started with the Sicilian wedge and then had to go for what they're known for, the handcrafted meatballs. You can mix and match meatballs with different pastas, but the real showstopper is the "meatball carousel." It lets you sample multiple meatballs with their recommended sauces, all presented on an elaborate Ferris wheel-style display that turns heads across the restaurant. It's a full experience, not just a meal. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. What truly made the night, though, was our server, Mia. She struck that perfect balance of fun and professional, engaging, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable to interact with. She guided us through the menu, made great recommendations, and brought a level of energy that elevated the entire experience. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it shows. For dessert, we went with the traditional Sicilian cannoli stuffed with Nutella and a lemon tart that was so good I'd honestly consider flying back just to have it again. This place delivers on every level, atmosphere, creativity, food, and service. I'll absolutely be making this a regular stop anytime I'm in Phoenix.

The decor is absolutely charming and sets a great vibe the moment you step through the door. The Highlight: Desserts First? I'll be honest: the dessert counter is a showstopper. It caught our eyes before we even looked at the menu! It took a lot of willpower not to start with the sweets, but it definitely gave us something to look forward to at the end of the meal. The Spread We sampled a variety of dishes, and there wasn't a single miss: Baba Ghanouj: A total "must-get." It was incredibly fresh and perfectly smoky. Falafel Salad: The falafel was impressively crispy--easily a table favorite. Beef Shawarma Wrap: Do yourself a favor and get this with the fries. The fries were golden and rounded out the wrap perfectly. #15 Chicken Tikka Plate: A very generous portion size and packed with flavor. Delicious! The Grand Finale: Baklava At $14.99/lb, the baklava selection is massive. We had a hard time choosing, but the "nest" variety was the standout winner. I'm already planning my next visit. If you're in the area and want authentic flavors in a beautiful, roomy setting, don't walk--run! Can't wait to go back. Go support this small family business! :D
