The interior of the restaurant
Shalil J.

I love Chicken Katsu and I am happy to say I think I found my new go to sports for a chicken katsu! Until now, the katsu I have eaten waa always pretty saucy so I was a little hesitant when I saw that this katsu wasn't as saucy. But that doesn't stop the mral from being full of flavor. In fact, the flavor is in the breading that was coated well and generously! It was a very unique katsu but very tasty. The dish itself came with a side of fries and mac salad, and the katsu was served over fried rice. I'm not one for Mac salads but this one wasnt too bad. The fries were a little boring and bland. The rice was surprisingly tasty! The interior of the restaurant is small and thwre isnt a whole lot of room for seating. It is definitely geared to more of a fast casual kind of flare. The staff was very nice and helpful with my ordering, especially with this being my first visit!. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and this will become a new lunch staple for me!

Kickin Chicken makes some good chicken and sauce. We both got the medium spice chicken tenders - one with fries, kickin sauce, buffalo ranch and one with mexican corn, kickin sauce, jalapeno honey mustard. The tenders are huge and totally worth the price. The chicken tasted rather mild even though we ordered medium spice. I didn't catch even a hint of spice. The mexican corn was delicious, but a lot of corn for a meal, perfect for corn lovers. I think their slaw or fries is the way to go, a perfect companion for the chicken. The jalapeno honey mustard was the best sauce - just a little zing (not too spicy) and well balanced with the sweetness of honey mustard.

The chicken and waffles is so good! The bubble waffle was tasty and the mac salad on the side was a good contrast for the spice. Will be ordering again. (:

Rum raisin bread pudding

We ordered to-go from kickin chicken at 12 pm on a Tuesday. They told us it'd be a 10 minute wait and it was a 10 minute wait, even with their lunch rush. The chicken katsu was very crispy and the meat was moist. The sauce on top was tasty. It was interesting paired with the macaroni salad and fried rice; the macaroni was nothing special, something you'd find at a grocery store, the fried rice was also pretty average. Mixed together, they make a nice bed of carbs for the crispy, saucy chicken. The rum raisin bread pudding was good, however it lacked raisins. It would be 10/10 if they added some raisins in the pudding itself instead of on just on top. $31 pre-tip got us two large, filling meals and the bread pudding, which is pretty great. I'll be back to try the chicken waffle.

My sister and I have been driving past this little chicken store for two years heading to the Bristlecone shooting range. Today, we finally stopped and checked it out. It's a very small restaurant and I found it very pleasant and especially personable. The young woman at the counter with purple and yellow hair was as friendly as friendly could be. She helped decide on what level of spice and which sides we may choose to go with. Ultimately, I ordered the chicken sandwich on Texas toast with medium sauce. It came with pickles and coleslaw on it as well. I ordered street corn as my dude and my sister ordered the identical sandwich but she got French fries instead of street corn. This may have been the very best fast food fried chicken sandwich I've ever had. I am not exaggerating. It's a huge piece of chicken and the sauce is mouthwatering. I had to mash it down just to be able to get a good bite into it. I love their little kickin chicken mascot and next time I go I'm going to buy a t shirt. If you see this tiny chicken place, I highly suggest you stop in and give them a try. I was absolutely impressed. Yummy yummy yummy.

Tenders

What a great group of people when you walk in. You're instantly greeted with a smile and a friendly "hello" which could easily brighten your day. The staff here are extremely nice and ready to help. We happened to catch them after normal lunch hours so it wasn't really busy. There were about 10 other people eating lunch and a few open tables. I can imagine that their lunch rush fills a lot of the chairs. The tenders are big, juicy, and packed full of flavor. Fries were cooked to a good crisp, just the way that I like it. Food took about 10 minutes to come out after we ordered and that's pretty good knowing that everything is made to order here and they bring it to your table. Next time I'm in the area, I want to come back and give a few other items on the menu a try. It was the charm and hospitality of the staff that drives me to support this business. Keep doing your thing Kickin Chicken!

Kickin Chicken was recommended by a friend to try out in the Lakewood area, and as someone who loves fried chicken in all it's forms - I definitely wanted to check this place out! We went on a Thursday around noon, where it wasn't too busy and we were able to get our orders placed immediately. To note, parking is quite difficult at the restaurant - spaces are very limited and fill up fast, as Kickin Chicken shares parking spaces with other small business in the area. I personally had some trouble finding a place to park when I visited, and I would try and get there a little bit earlier to find a spot. Ambiance is fast casual, as the restaurant is self-service, you order at the cashier and you can pick any available table to sit at, and you also bus your own table after you are finished. I got the chicken kastsu for $13.25, which I thought was an alright deal for the amount of food you get, as I personally would have preferred a bigger portion. I noticed that chicken tenders or the chicken and waffles looked a bit more generous with the same price, so I'll probably give those a try the next time I'm in Lakewood. But otherwise, the flavor is pretty solid! Each of the components of this entree is tasty. The chicken is sauced and seasoned well, and the texture is nice and crispy. The fried rice has a complex flavor, sort of like a garlic and smoked flavor that is pleasing. The corn is soft and the sauce is slightly tangy and provides a nice acidity to the decadent chicken. I like that the menu at Kickin Chicken is pretty straightforward and you come to this restaurant knowing exactly what to expect. The flavors are pretty solid and I would try and order a bit more the next time I come around. But I would definitely revisit Kickin Chicken to try their other interesting options!

Are all of their chicken dishes spicy? I can't do any spices but their menu sounds like they have tasty chicken.

They all come non-spicy but you can request they make any dish spicy. Great flavor both ways!

We ordered 24 wings for 3 of us. Just the right amount as the wings are pretty meaty and good sized. We actually had a couple leftover to take home. We tried the boss sauce and buffalo hot. We liked that combination. The french fried were nice and crispy rippled ones. The employee also offered to let us try two kinds of ranch sauces, one individually pre-packaged and one they had poured into a cup. There's a water dispenser that you can get your own water. They also have a free video game that is fun to play while you're waiting for the wings to come out. They are a Rochester NY outfit, a tiny different than our favorite Buffalo NY wings, but we are happy to support them again in the future. Gotta remember the cash discount next time.

Coming from an Italian family, I am well versed in Italian sandwiches. Carmine Lornardo's the real deal! We ordered the 24" Carmine Italian. Every bite was as good as the last. My dad struck up a conversation with Carmine, who was working behind the counter as he does every day, just as his dad (according to him). We sat down at one of the 4 tables to enjoy our sandwich which was pre split for us. As we were finishing up and the lunch crowd was slowing a bit but was still steady, when Carmine stopped at our table to chat with my dad. He told us an amazing story of how their sausage and pepper sandwich was featured in Food & Wine magazine and how he found Put about it. A true Italian man living in his owned world, he was not familiar with the magazine. But that put them on the food seen. He then brought my dad his famous sausage and pepper sandwich, on the house! We came back later that week and ordered pasta with sausage and sauce for dinner which he provided as part of their dinner to go series. If I lived closer, I would never be cooking, I would just be at Carmine's for lunch and dinner! Don't sleep on this authentic Italian restaurant with old world charm.

We were on our way up to red rock and wanted to grab some lunch for the tailgate. We ordered the French dip and the special #5 cutlet sandwich as well as Mac salad and black and white cookie. The sandwiches are expensive but big. The French dip was $13.99 and the special was $18.99 for an 8in. Our meal ended up being around $60 for two sandwiches, a Mac salad, chips and two pastries. The mac salad was very good and tasty but the sandwiches were a total disappointment. The French dip lacked ANY flavor even a bit of salt would've gone a long way. When we dipped it in the au jus, it still lacked any flavor. We ended up only taking a few bites then tossing it and moving onto the #5. Both sandwiches were incredibly soggy and we maybe ate them 20 minutes after getting them. Taste was decent with the cutlet sandwich but oh my heartburn. We both had heartburn the entire duration of the concert. Just a disappointing experience after spending so much money.
