    Came in around 11am and grabbed a chicken Caesar wrap at the hot heat level. The wrap was bold, flavorful, and exactly what I was craving. Love that you can pick your heat level based on your tolerance to spice. Paired it with a Diet Coke on the patio and it was the perfect casual lunch. By noon, a line had already formed and got busy, so would recommend coming early, if you can!

    Jam Hot Chicken is a small hole in the wall spot that is worth checking out. The chicken is super flavorful, juicy, and packed with seasoning. Just a heads up even the mild has a pretty good kick to it, so be mindful if you're sensitive to spice. The heat is worth it though because the flavor is so good. Great spot if you love spicy chicken with bold flavor!

    The Sando

    Happiness overload is happening right now as I eat this sandwich it's sooo soooooo sooooo yummy and full of so many different flavors! Like a little bit of heat not enough honey a little zest like I am so happy right now .. yes I am aware I sound like a totally big back and that's okay cause this sandwich is amazing

    JAM Hot Chicken is conveniently located in Hannibal Square in a beautiful store front. It is popular so expect a line. Fortunately, I went on a rainy day so there was only one customer in front of me yet the wait was longer than I expected. The staff nice and there are spots to sit and wait. The food is usually consistently amazing, but this time I thought the food was just okay, so hopefully this is just a one-off.

    Hot chicken in Winter Park? Whoulda thunk?! This is an order at the window and sit outside at one of their four picnic tables kind of vibe. The line was pretty long for a weekday lunch which was all the reassurance I needed. As I mentioned, order at the window and be prepared to wait a bit. At least we did-- from the moment we stepped in line until we sat with our food in hand it was over 40 minutes. I will say, everything was fresh and made to order but holy wait. Now to the food-- I like to think I can handle some spice but their mild humbled me real quick. So if you're uncertain I'd suggest ordering down a spice to be safe. The portions are massive. Even the tenders were large in size. And a bit pricey given no sides nor drinks are included. I did appreciate the free water jug on the side. $16 for the chicken sandwich and $13 for the tenders. $4 fries and $3 for a drink. Our bill quickly racked up for what I was expecting as a casual lunch. Parking is available along the street or in the back. Definitely worth a try.

    Wanted to try this chicken place for the longest and since I was in the winter park area decided to stop here for lunch! Got the Sando mild and even that level had a kick to it and I don't really do spicy but it's ginormous sandwich and filing and it was good. If you guys like spicy they have different levels of spice you can choose from just expect a wait since it was like one person working there.

    Yum

    Finally got to enjoy lunch here. Cutie little place with pick up window only. Picnic tables nearby or bring it to the park! I got the chicken sandwich and was pleasantly surprised by the size ! Got mild but it def had heat to it Thursday afternoon around lunch, did have to wait a bit. Had some drinks and perf weather to enjoy. Definitely worth a visit if you haven't already

    Went recently after a pilates event in the area. Food was hot and fresh and love the coleslaw to balance out the heaviness of the chicken! I like to get medium spice but it definitely is spicy. Service is quick and easy as you order at the window and grab your order.

    My second time coming here and I have been looking forward to it! This is my favorite hot chicken spot in Orlando. The restaurant is a walk up window where your order is placed. There is outdoor seating or you can take it to go. There are some covered and some uncovered spots to sit. They have a water refill station by the ordering window. After ordering, the food is freshly prepared. I love getting The Box as you have at little bit of everything in one! I will be back soon!

    Keeping it hot is exactly what they are doing here in each and every way! While this might be some of the best hot chicken I ever found it wasn't so over the top hot that it wasn't enjoyable as it was just right and this is coming from someone who can handle their heat. Of the different levels of hot I went for the second to last as I've always found that the top level in most places is just hot and not enjoyable don't get me wrong as the level I got was hot but it was just perfect to the point of where it hit the spot! The chicken was perfectly crunchy and full of flavor I found that with the heat being at the level it was at the side cup of those delicious pickles was just right to cool it down a bit as while hot is good you definitely need to find a balance and those pickles did just that for me! Their ranch and sauce was super tasty and definitely added more zest to some already yummy chicken so do yourself a favor and order an extra one you'll be happy you did! The hot fries we ordered were interesting like they weren't the best thing we had today but they were still good and in the future id just skip out on those as the chicken portion is more than enough for anyone as the pieces are huge! Their location is pretty much a hole in the wall window with a few tables outside so definitely plan accordingly as we all know how the Florida weather can be! Overall super yummy hot and spicy crispy and delicious this really is some of the best hot chicken out there so do yourself a favor and always keep it hot!

    It's hard to talk about Winter Park with locals and not have this place suggested. Prior to this visit, I had their tenders once at a Yelp event, so this was my first time actually visiting JAM Hot Chicken. We ordered The Sando to split between the two of us. It was a huge sandwich first of all, but more importantly SO DELICIOUS. Bread was perfectly soft and buttery, chicken was thick, juicy and the breading was so light and crispy without being soggy or oily (very impressive). Spice level was just right for us (we picked 1.75) and the slaw/pickle dressings provided a cool sweetness to balance out the savory heat. Obviously there are many sit down restaurants in the area, however if you're looking for casual/quick service JAM Hot Chicken should be a place you consider stopping at. Staff were warm and welcoming. Seating is all outdoor with a walk up window for ordering. A variety of sides and drinks are also available. We will definitely be back!

    My friend who is from Orlando was raving about this place so I decided to try something. It did not disappoint!! The chicken was so juicy & tender. They have all different spice flavors. For myself since I don't like spicy I got the plain option & it was perfect! The chicken tenders were huge & cooked to perfection. The special dipping sauce added even more. So happy I checked this place out!

    Food: the chicken was crispy and moist. The Sando was huge so it was hard to get a bit of the chicken with the slaw. The tenders sounded crispy and my husband enjoyed them. Myself- I am not the best with spicy food and this spicy wanted to live in my mouth rent free. It sticks with you for awhile. Husband says he probably can't go higher than a 3. Service: very friend and food came out fast. They don't have ice and all drinks are bottle. Bring your own drinks if you want. Ambiance: it's a takeout place and has like 5 picnic tables to eat at.

But I had an urge to find some fried chicken that is lightly battered and this place hit the spot. Located just off of Park Avenue and Fairbanks is The Hen & Hog. Got a 6 piece fried chicken anf a few sides which consisted of mac and cheese, fries and a pickled slaw. Juicy freshly fried and ever so gently battered chicken that was crisp with every bite. Definitely some tasty chicken. I really liked the slaw that had garlic onions celery and some other items but it cut through the savoriness of the chicken. Yes, i ate all of it to the bone. Wife also got chicken and waffles which she thoroughly enjoyed. Also had fried banana peppers with a pimento spread. Pretty nice combination. Staff was super helpful. They also have wings with a lot of great sauces to try. That will be my order for next time. Cant wait to come back.

I liked the t beers (white meat) the best. Melting the mouth breast with crunchy exterior. My chicken and waffles did not really hit the spot for me.

The waffle was fluffy inside and just a tad burnt outside. FYI: the syrup is kinda spicy. Pleasant interior with friendly and attentive service.

Seems to have a lot of regulars dropping by for carry-out orders. Service was excellent - very nice people. Reasonable prices, but portions are fairly small. Ordered the "best chicken in town", - the chickens are very small, and the 1/4 chicken breast I had was noticeably dry. The seasonings and flavor are very good though. But I have much better from any Peruvian chicken place. Had the zucchini in tomato sauce as one side an it was outstanding. Pasta salad was average. Pita bread seemed dry. Hummus was very good. Potatoes had great flavor but also a little dry. Rice pudding dessert was very tasty. Overall I was disappointed because I had hoped this might become a go-to spot for me to hit regularly but unfortunately I cannot imagine a scenario where I'd make the effort to go back.

The chain of restaurants launched the first Chick-fil-A restaurant in 1967 at Atlanta's Greenbriar Mall. Today, there are over 3000 Chick-fil-A restaurants across the United States. I have always appreciated this chain wherever I have visited for their dedication to consistent quality, friendly staff, cleanliness and bright welcoming atmosphere. This one is a little different as it serves hospital staff a lot. In fact you may want to mobile order since most people do exactly that. We were the oddballs and ordered at the counter. There is NO inside dining. There are a few tables outside. The inside is just a counter for ordering and picking up your orders. The staff at the counter were polite and very upbeat. Our food and drinks were prepared quickly, and correctly. As with all the CFA locations we have visited, the prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes and quality. Overall, this Chick-fil-A had easy access, really busy foot traffic, fast service, clean surroundings, and reliably good food. It's a good stop if you're visiting the hospital and want some good comfort food.
