Underwhelming. Ordered 2, twelve piece nuggets. One crispy sandwich and one roasted chicken sandwich. Greens. And macaroni. The crispy nuggets were all thigh meat (I would have preferred breast). Each 12 piece came with ONE dipping sauce and the sauce options were lacking. No barbecue. No sweet n spicy. Pay extra for sauce! The chicken did have a nice crunch. Greens were heavy on the chunky sweet side!! Not my cup of tea. Macaroni was meh. I was hoping this would be a place I would come back again, but left feeling a bit underwhelmed!! read more

I didn't know what to expect ... someone else chose this spot and the location has one vegan/vegetarian option on the menu. There are so many things to love. I don't have adequate words to describe how much Atlanta has changed since I first moved here ions ago. Summerhill was not always Summerhill . But the area is cute. Tucked away between the old stadium/now GSU-land and Grant Park. How Crispy is perfectly located near several other options for any and every pre-post meal delight. You order at the counter and the server was so kind + attentive. I ordered the Crunchy Boi with fries and a side of greens. The greens were a little too sweet for my taste and the fries are just okay (I prefer them slightly more crispy) BUT the sandwich was PERFECT! The right amount of spice, crunch, and salt. The bun was soft. The patty was DELICIOUS and the toppings were a match of delight. We sat in the outdoor patio space. Another delight! Great for gathering as a medium sized group, people watching and enjoying the weather. This spot is so easy to miss but if you're in the mood for a no-fuss, yummy sandwich ... stop in! You won't be disappointed. read more

This was an incredible breakfast! The chicken and hash browns were so freaking crispy and fresh. May be the best chicken biscuit I've ever had overall. The biscuit was flaky and buttery with freshly cooked chicken tossed in a wonderfully flavorful lemon pepper/buffalo blend. The hashbrowns were extra crispy and seasoned to perfection. The staff was nice and they were so speedy. There's was plenty of outdoor seating space read more

Another Diners Drive inns and Dives visit for me. These places are normally great. How crispy is far beyond great it's mind blowing game changing amazing!!! The sandwiches are tremendous. You can choose white or dark meat which is a nice touch. It's not just a sandwich it's an event. Crispy, sticky, unkcious, chewy, moist, crunchy, gooey, and satisfying. PRO TIP... sit close to the napkin dispenser. This is a life changing experience!!!! The gentleman behind the counter was a prince. He Sheparded me through the process and even gave me some parking advice. The joint is poppy and clever. Decor is interesting and really fun. There's plenty of seating inside there's counter space and outside there's a patio with funky club music playing and lots of things to see. You must come here just make sure you are ready for a giant delicious unique treat. read more

Dope little sandwich spot! I had the lemon pepper wet chicken sandwich with white meat (they ask dark or white which is a nice option). It was more of a buffalo sauce and didn't have much lemon pepper. Comes with ranch but I think if they added blue cheese or crumbles that would add a nice touch to the sauce combo. Chicken was super thick and juicy. Yucca fries were interesting. I enjoyed them but almost felt like they were dehydrated then fried? Almost a little to dried out. Would probably go with the regular fries next time. Overall a very good chicken sandwich but not really one that stands out from the others. They have a few other options that sound great. The house sauce and their honey garlic was amazing. Would recommend if you are in the area! read more

Pretty much the same as the last two times that I've been here and when I came back in 2022. The chicken sandwichs were solid and I was very thirsty afterwards. I had the lemon pepper sandwich and my wife had the original sandwich. My kids didn't love the fries but I thought they were nicely spiced and flavored. The kids liked their chicken nuggets. The kale salad was not very good (dressing didn't seem fresh and it overall was not that tasty). I love that the food came fast. I didn't love that it was over $50 for two chicken sandwiches (that did come with sides and drinks) and 12 chicken nuggets. read more

We have been going to How Crispy since they first opened, and it is just the best. The chef recognizes us when we walk in the door, always asks how we are doing, and the food never disappoints. We appreciate the various specials, and I am so glad they've made it easier to order my black bean/veggie patty cooked in the style of the other sandwiches online. Biscuits on Saturdays/Sundays are yummy. More cookies please! read more

The honey boi sandwich was superb. I liked how they asked if we wanted white or dark meat. Not a lot of chicken sandwich places have this option. The chicken (dark meat is the way to go) was oh so juicy and tender. Each bite was messy with the garlic honey butter sauce. The smokey lime mayo also didn't help. Just have some napkins handy. And with each hearty chicken bite, the sesame slaw and sweet pickles provided nice flavor and texture contrasts. They make this sucker when you order so it won't be an immediate turnaround. But when you do get it, it will be pipping hot. The interior had some seats, but there were also outdoor seats with a good amount under the covered patio. read more

The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was terrible. The Lemon Pepper wet is buffalo sauce with lemon pepper seasoning, however you do not taste the lemon pepper. The chicken nuggets were fried to hard where I had issues chewing it. The chicken is not seasoned at all. It taste like they got a chicken breast put some flour on it and deep fried it. Please keep in mind I did not say anything about salt or pepper because clearly they thought that dipping the chicken in a sauce was all the seasoning they needed. The food was just terrible all the way around. I will never return to this establishment. I was fooled through Tiktok but clearly that influencer got paid to do the review. Even if I was paid I would not subject anyone to this....I'm confused by the rating on this restaurant but then again the workers are probably writing reviews on this place. read more

How Crispy Express was good. Their service was fast. We sat outside. They had a nice patio. Also their bathroom was pretty, especially the ceiling. We had the classic sandwich and the honey boi sandwich. It was good. We also both got sweet tea. The sweet tea was good too. It was a nice local restaurant. read more

We ate at How Crispy tonight for the special collaboration with Ticonderoga Club. The Speedie Boi sandwich was delicious, as expected. We also ordered the Chili Lime Chicken wings and they were fantastic as well. The patio was perfect on a fall night and the fans kept a breeze blowing.

Chicken was good, but wet lemon pepper is basically just buffalo and will stain your face. I'll probably come back.

I've been slowly making my way through Summerhill and How Crispy was next on my list! It's been hard to try because they close so early but luckily was able to come for a weeknight dinner! It's always a little tricky to find parking in Summerhill but there's a few lots and street parking nearby. It's fast casual, so we ordered at the counter and then found a seat in the outside patio. I got the lemon pepper wet sandwich, a soda, and a side of yucca fries to share with a friend. The food came out super fast which was awesome and I loved that the owner came around to check on us! The sandwich was phenomenal and I loved the sauce and how tangy it was! I was surprised at the size of the sides. My friend got mac n cheese which was a super small portion, and I got only a few yucca fries, which while big and seasoned really well, felt odd. Overall, great experience and food! read more

So excited to finally have tried this place!! It closes so early so it's a struggle to get here. It's fast casual and a small space but they have a great space to sit outside. I got the lemon pepper wet sandwich with mac and cheese and a drink by making it a combo. Our food was ready in less than 10 minutes which was great! Overall, this sandwich was absolutely phenomenal. A stunning sandwich truly. My one complaint is I'm not the sure the price of the sides are worth the sides. They felt small. We didn't let that ruin anything though because overall the meal was great!! read more

Came for dinner and how crispy did not disappoint. The service was very friendly as well. We got two orders of the lemon pepper wet one wet dark meat and one with white. The chicken was so flavorful and crispy. For it being a wet sandwich, it was still crispy. The slaw and pickles were a good addition to the sandwich as well. I really enjoyed the lemon pepper flavor as it wasn't too overpowering but still had a good peppery finish to it. The fries here were good as well! Well seasoned and their ranch was also delicious. Overall, loved this spot and will definitely be back for the lemon pepper wet!! read more

I've been wanting to try How Crispy for the longest time and was super happy to find out they now serve white chicken meat. It's counter service so so we ordered at the counter and we picked up our food once ready. We opted to sit outside while waiting for our food. They had a nice covered area for outdoor dining, though they did have some stools for indoor dining as well. I got the daily special with white meat (to be honest forgot what it's called) and my husband got the lemon pepper wet sandwich. My sandwich was super crispy thought a bit dry because it's white meat. The isla seasoning was nice and paired well with the tangy kimchi. My husband's sandwich was also very good, but he thought it tasted more like Buffalo sauce than lemon pepper. We also shared a side of yucca fries with the best dipping sauce. Thank goodness they give you moist towelettes with every order because their sandwiches are messy to eat but so worth it! read more

Came here as the second stop to my Summerhill food crawl. Dropped by around 1-2PM on a Saturday. Order at the counter and they'll call your name. I went with the 6 pc. Bazaar Boi Nugs, which were the specials for the day. The nuggets are seasoned with harissa spice and comes with pickled onions and a lemony-herb dipping sauce. This was .... so good ... The nuggets were fried so well with a nice crispy outside (and TONS of flavor) but a juicy and tender inside. Since I was doing a little food crawl I only got the nuggies, but I feel like the burger could be even better if I had more stomach room! The sauce complimented the nuggets really well and had a nice zesty and herbal flavor. The onions act as a nice palate cleanser. I SUPER recommend coming by. A great chicken stand with a whimsical personality! Probably my favorite place on Summerhill so far! read more

Good food! Took it to go so that may be the reason it didn't come out to a 5. My main bother was the Mac, not my thing but I can see people liking it. The best part was the lemonade, though it was very sweet. Overall good for what it is. Would give it a try if interested! read more

Great customer service by Austin. He accidentally rang me up for for the incorrect sandwich, but I didn't mind the mistake (I ordered the bird Mac and he rang me up for the classic). He later came and checked on me during my meal and even deducted 50% off of my order without my knowledge. I was appreciative of this gesture but it wasn't necessary because the classic sandwich was very delicious. The food is as great as the service!! 12/10 satisfied customer. read more

Some tasty chicken Sammie's being served up in this cute spot in summerhill! Came in last week with a friend to grab some dinner. They are only open until 7pm on the weekdays, so come a bit early if you want to stay and eat. They don't have a ton of seating, but luckily it wasn't crowded that day. I got the honey boi. So good and a big sandwich! Not a huge menu, but it's all quality! They have parking out back as well and the service is great! read more

What can I say about HOW...? Well, since I ordered for delivery I should've known better. I did read the reviews and was really glad I ,add a good choice while in Atlanta at my Airbnb which was literally 12 miles from my stay. So let's dive into HOW about Crispy Express.... The food was somewhat warm thanks to the Grubhub delivery guy although he was about to leave my order on the cement porch! Should've known.. so I grab it, go into the ol' kitchen to plate my food. I ordered 6 piece chicken, yucca fries, and the chicken sound which which was suppose to be dusted with a sauce. How crispy. You mean how HARD. The sandwich was okay. It not how the reviewers made this sandwich out to be something other than what it truly was. A chicken sandwich too big for the bun. The Yucca fries, shall I say YUC.e fries. There was probably 6 whole fries that had zero taste which kind you it read as though they were dusting them with a red type salt. Wasn't in my order. Now the 6 piece chicken something, it tenders but should be considered hard as a rock. Didn't even finish the order. Something told me to go out to eat but I was being lazy. So for 40.00 including grubhub tip for a delivery that I didn't enjoy and was false advertised I'd say maybe go there in person to eat vs to go. Lastly, the cold slaw. Not even a fork full in the small to go container. No bbq sauce, but a mayo (2) type spread. Suggestion box needed. Wished I could cover this but the reviews set me up for what I thought was going to be a great How. More like WHY? read more

The staff was very friendly and answered all of our questions regarding the menu. We enjoyed all our meals. We especially enjoyed the yuca fries... yummy. read more

Delicious. Girthy. Flavorful. This spot is my go-to place for chicken nuggets - I know!!! Who would've even guessed that there was a place or a market for that!! No fast food chain chicken nuggets have touched my lips since I found these bad boys and I intend to keep it that way. read more

Love when a place meets up to the hype. I had been waiting to try How Crispy Express for months but the hours were tough to make it as they close early. Parked in the old Lexus lot for Turner Field although there are closer spots and walked over. The inside is very small, maybe room for 4 or 5 seats at a counter. A lot more room for seating on the covered patio. Over the Classic since it was my first time although with some Mac N Cheese. The Sandwich did not disappoint. The Crunch was there and the tastiness of the dark meat was unmatched. Each bite just got better and better. A great bun, creamy spread, lettuce, and fresh pickles to round out the sandwich. Plenty of great side options too. The Mac N Cheese was creamy and rich with a hit of spice to the noodles. I highly recommend trying this place out. Make sure you check the hours before you go as they are constantly changing. read more

We were leaving the zoo around lunch time when Acelyn B suggested we try something new. Enter HCE. I went with the sandwich on special. I believe it was a curry fried chicken sando. Yum. He chicken was crispy as advertised. Flavors were on point. I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich. Time between placing the order and having it called wasn't terrible. Overall, I'm happy to have this option in Summer Hill. read more

How crispy indeed. HCE is a newish spot in Summerhill, sandwiched (HA!) in that cluster of venerable snack spots like Juniors, Little Bear, and Big Softie. Just look for the giant cartoon chicken mural. There's a small dining room and counter, very clean. Paint colors are fresh, bright, and mostly yellow. My kids ordered the Mac and cheese with some nice nuggets. Wife had a salad, and I got the lemon pepper wet sandwich. All of it was good quality, and there's really no refusing lemon pepper in this city when it's on offer. Just get a sweet drink (coke maybe) to cut the massive hit of savory. I was most impressed by the presence of dark meat on my sandwich. I'm the kind of guy who prefers a nice thigh when I'm cooking up my own bird. All the fat takes up seasoning really well. Will return to check out other things on the menu. read more

The chicken is fresh and served fast as are the fries. They stapled the bag together (and forgot something from the order). Seems like a trick to make sure everyone knows you are not welcome to stay and eat. Which is fair due to the small restaurant but frustrating when it's cold outside. Taste is fine, definitely not special but the price is fair. Would give it a 3.5 if I could figure out how. read more

So good! It actually is so crispy and fresh! Best wings in the area! 10/10 recommend!

Delicious crunchy chicken sandwiches. CLASSIC I wonder the classic chicken sandwich and it was delicious. It was good size, the chicken was large, spicy, and very crispy. TIKKA BOI All of the Indian spices and flavors were not in the sandwich at all. Sometimes I got a hint of it, but for the most part, it tasted exactly like the classic sandwich, so I have no idea why this was two or three dollars more expensive. I would just order the classic. read more

I went in not knowing what to expect but the place was packed and the ambiance was clean. I decided to keep it simple and order the standard chicken sandwich with the yuca fries. Sauce on the side since I had a trek about 35 mins back to the house. Needless to say service got it to me in about 6 mins and it held up pretty well even after that ride. I got home and unfurled the packaging and dove in. Very tasty sandwich (white meat) and the fries and sauce were the bomb! Will definitely go back and try another sandwich. read more

Don't say "Chick-fil-A," cause if you got a taste for a real good chicken sandwich on a Sunday you are in luck. If you want a chick sandwich with different flavors you are in luck. I tried the Honey Boi, and the Tikka Boi one made with chicken breast and the other with thigh. Both were moist and crunchy with the light sauce on them. The music was cool, but seating was ultra limited!! I think that the place could hold like 10 ppl. ON par with the chicken sandwiches I must say would be the buffalo chicken dip. Service was fast as fast food and friendly, and pricing was norm for a chicken sammie $9-11bucks. read more
