I was pretty stoked to give this place a try. I ordered a half bird all dark with red beans and rice as a side. I think the size of the chicken itself was good, also the quality was impressive. It needed just like 30 seconds more in the fryer though. Thats kinda where the good ends. Placing the white bread in the container on the bottom completely turned the white bread to mush. The pickles? Why are you using a standard boring non house made pickle slice? It takes barely any prep time to make fresh pickle slices. The biggest thing that was a disappointment for my money spent was the red beans and rice. Absolutely flavorless. Tasted like a white rice with no salt and a couple beans and two very small cut up sausage in it. I hated seeing the menus on the door and on the order area with a piece of tape over 4 on the tenders and a 3 written over it. Thats just so lazy. I had a chance to try the tenders and they where very strange. I think with some major management involvement this could be a great place. It needs a lot of work. I love that its non gmo high quality chicken but that's only gonna take you so far with prices this high. Currently I'm not coming back. read more

I was disappointed. I love soul food, fried chicken and red beans and rice. I couldn't even finish their red beans and rice.

Ok I'm always on the hunt for a really good chicken sandwich. They're one of my favorite staple food items so it's exciting to see when a place delivers. Mrs Chicken makes a really juicy thiccc chicken sandwich- THICK & super delicious. The fries are also so crispy and so good but make sure to eat them fresh because if they sit for a while, they get rubbery. Just keep one thing in mind- i'm not sure if I just got a strange batch of chicken or if the order got mixed up, but the mild (level 1) was about the level of spice of hot cheetos which I wasn't expecting. So if you're the type of person who just wants a slight kick, just go for no spice. read more

Chicken sandwich here was insane. The breading was great, the meat tasted very high quality and the medium spice level was a little bit of heat. I'd probably go for the next level up next time but the quality and size of the chicken breast was superb. Would definitely come back. read more

I got the chicken sandwich (medium heat). The spice was perfect, chicken was crispy and pretty juicy. I've only eaten at a handful full of Nashville hot chicken places but I would say it's above average from my experience. Also, I like that it was not too greasy. Fries were good as well. read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant since they opened up... and then COVID hit. Anyway, based on all of the good reviews I decided to give it a go... For location, 5-stars For customer service, 5-stars For restaurant cleanliness, 5-stars For simple but effective menu, 5-stars For food, 2-stars My wife and I both ordered the Yardbyrd sandwich with fries. I would rate my meal as mediocre...4- hours later and I'm still feeling a gut bomb. I don't know if it was the sauce, something in the sauce, the slaw, or the chicken. Needless to say, I will probably not be returning... which is sad as I really want to like the food. read more

The food came out fairly quick, but I expected for hot off the fryer type chicken but when It arrived the touch of the chicken felt cold. Which then made me wonder if it was even cooked or sitting under the light for a while. When I started digging into the chicken, the taste of it felt off. It tasted filmy, and indeed was cold. when I looked it was still pink/raw inside. I was utterly disappointed by this. The chicken batter was not at all flaky nor hardly crunchy. I've had my fair share in Nashville fried hot chicken, and normally it should be like a dry rub season. But this chicken tasted like buffalo sauce that they just drenched on. The side items were good like their home sauce honky tonky, crinkle fries, and baked potato salad. But, not enough to come back again. The interior is great, staff is friendly, but sorry the chicken is suppose to be the star of the show and it did not prove to be one. If you want hot fried chicken, you're better off sticking to Lolo's or Monroe's next time. read more

Easy to park, clean restaurant, friendly staff, and quick service. We're on a mission to find the perfect chicken sandwich and unfortunately this wasn't it. We both ordered the Yardbyrd Sandwich and it's available in 5 different heat levels. I chose mild (2) and he chose medium (3). For $12 you get a chicken sandwich and your choice of a side. We picked the baked potato casserole and the crinkle cut fries BBQ rub. First impression - the sandwich was packed and pretty big. The server provided us knifes because it can get messy. I proceeded to cut the sandwich and half and the sandwich oozed out with a puddle of sauce. I took my first bite and the flavors were very overwhelming. Too much sauce and the mustard taste was overbearing. Mild (2) was perfect for me because I like food with a little kick and can't handle too much heat. The chicken was cooked well but the sandwich got soggy super quick because of all the sauce. The sides were good, I enjoyed the baked potato casserole and the fries. I couldn't finish my sandwich in one sitting so I took the other half to go. To my surprise it tasted better cold, even though it's meant to be served hot. I also squeezed out half of the sauce before I left the restaurant so maybe that was another factor why it tasted better. Overall, great value for the amount of food you receive. The food was good but it can definitely improve. This restaurant has potential but I wouldn't consider it a "must try." read more

Wife's Order: Wife's order: 6 Mild wings, bread, garnished with dill pickles, side of collard greens, side of rice and beans. Son's order: chicken tenders, bbq rub fries My order: white chicken breast quarters (XXXHot), bread, garnished with dill pickles, bbq rubbed fries, baked potato salad. Drinks: red kool-aid and sweet tea. Cost: $39 Review: Start of with my order, the chicken breast quarters were large. There was a lot of chicken there. The heat was not blistering hot; so, the waiver was not needed. However, the flavor was excellent. Other extremely hot items sacrifice flavor to punch you in the mouth, to make your eyes water, to cause pain, but I am glad flavor was their destination. The sides were excellent as well. My wife's items were great as well. The only downside was the rice and beans. Popeye's version of the side is still her favorite. My son's tenders were excellent, but my wife was not a fan. Regardless, I would recommend them with their Honky Tonk sauce. If you are in the area, I would recommend these hot wings... read more

Mrs Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Mrs Chicken is in the precarious position of being reasonably tasty while being inappropriately named. This new chicken spot is a specialized restaurant focused on deep fried hot chicken with spicy fries. The only problem is that Mrs Chicken is claiming to feature "Nashville Hot Chicken" specifically in its tag line. That is categorically inaccurate. What Mrs Chicken serves is nicely fried chicken breast meat flavored with a wet, vinegar based sauce, and bbq rub spiced chips. This is fine for what it is- fried chicken with what you typically associate buffalo wing sauce. I am not discounting this, but it is not Nashville Hot chicken. As someone who lived in Nashville metro area for years, I can assure you I am speaking from having experienced authentic Nashville hot chicken many, many dozens of times. Nashville hot chicken is a fried-to-crispy-dry, cayenne pepper based flavoring that is applied and cooked into the chicken . The meat is a full half, bone-in chicken breast, not a boneless chicken meat section. The result is that Nashville hot chicken comes on the plate without without wet sauce. It has no vinegar tinging the taste and the cayenne pepper flavor roars its flavor off the hot, crusty chicken breast that remains incredibly juicy because it is deep fried into a sealed crust and the bone-in technique guarantees its moist juiciness. One trip to an authentic Nashville hot chicken place (notably Prince's Hot Chicken Shack, the mothership of Nashville hot chicken) will confirm these observations, which unfortunately has alluded this new chicken shop. I love chicken, so I am not trying to diss this new effort- but tag lining the restaurant to associate this chicken with Nashville hot is simply inaccurate. Examples of accurate attempts at energizing the Nashville Hot Chicken moniker include Hattie B's in Nashville, Howlin' Ray's out in LA and even Monroe's Hot chicken in Phoenix. If you're looking for buffalo hot chicken, Mrs Chicken will fit the bill. But if you're looking for Nashville hot chicken, this is not the place. My hope is that the proprietor has the opportunity to revisit the tagline of the restaurant or adjust the recipe to aim at the true essence of the Nashville hot flavor. read more

Poor Mrs. Chicken is taking some heat right now. My experience was a good one though, particularly at the price point. I had the breast quarter meal hot with a side of red beans and rice. It did take about 15 minutes to get my food, which seems like a long time, but it came out piping hot. It was also incredibly spicy. I've been to Monroe's downtown a few times now and had their Level 4, and Mrs. Chicken's was substantially spicier - a good thing in my book. Though it was saucy, the crust retained some crunch, and the meat was still juicy inside. The Beans and Rice left a little something to be desired, but it came with the meal - can't complain too much. As noted earlier, especially at the $9 price point - got the chicken plus a side. Compare that to the $16 I'd pay at Monroe's, I'll definitely be back to Mrs. Chicken. Now, to all the folks righteously furious that they dare call this "Nashville Hot Chicken", go google Nashville Hot Chicken. A great number of the images that pop up look identical to the one I took of my lunch. I've never been to Nashville, I'll cop to that, but doesn't seem too different from what I see online, or what I tasted at Monroe's, which many say is "authentic". Is it a little more vinegary/buffalo-y? Maybe? But it was delicious. I'll be back, Mrs. Chicken. Keep on cookin'. Can't wait till you get the waivers, and you can burn my face off. read more

Tried mrs Chicken today. It was good. My husband liked the spicy smoky coleslaw but I didn't. I liked the potato salad after adding salt & pepper. It's different for sure. But he didn't like it. The flavors of the chicken was delicious! Fried chicken stayed crispy and medium was spicy enough for us. FYI the chicken tenders were delicious and meaty but sadly didn't stay crispy on the to go order. They got a little soggy. Overall it was good food & great company in a perfect atmosphere read more

More of a 3.5 stars for us. Wish Yelp would allow that... Fast, friendly service. Affprdavle. Have to sign a waiver for their extra hot (XXXHot) lol. Was told by a friend after that I shoulda went with that. I had hot for a breast and wing. Not bad. Good seasoning but not hot enough. Breading falls off too easily tho. Wife got medium for the sandwich and it was great. Tasty pickles and slaw and overall a good sandwich. Next time we'll try the hot sandwich and XXX for tenders or wings. Red beans and rice was real good. Definitely recommend. I'd skip the collard greens. Not enough seasoning and was full of liquid. Weren't cooked right for genuine collards fans. read more

Really good and an awesome find! I would definitely recommend Mrs. Chicken as long as you enjoy REALLY spicy food! So I ended up in Nashville, TN while back and found out the rest of the world was already getting in on this Nashville hot chicken thing they have going on out there. Ever since I have kept an eye out for a legit Nashville hot chicken joint. When I first went to Mrs. Chicken I was instantly reminded of that authentic Nashville hot. I had the Yardbyrd Sandwich which I was a little on the fence about at the time. Really glad I opted to try it because it was everything I would want from chicken sandwich. I remember thinking how exceptionally tender and moist the chicken breast was. I mean it was spot on. I was also worried I was gonna sacrifice the level of heat by getting sandwich which was not true. Good size portion too. I also was able to try the tenders on 2 separate occasions. The first try they were huge! Also tender and moist. That was a good value but the second time around they were a lot smaller. Just as tasty though. I usually prefer bone-in wings over tenders given the choice but places like Mrs. Chicken force me to break out of old habits. Rightfully so because I don't regret that decision. I also tried the wings! Crispy and spicy! At this point I had tried the heat levels hot and hotxx. I saw a slight difference between them but for the wings we decided to go for mild. Well I didn't notice any difference between the mild and the hot. I'll be back, for sure, so hopefully I can dial in the heat levels a bit better. With the mild level being scorching still I would only recommend here if you enjoy a lot of heat! read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE. I called to place an order for pick up and the lady working answered the phone "what do you want?" and then was silent.

She only gave me the total and sounded like she was having another conversation while on the phone with me. WILL NOT EAT HERE based on this poor experience. read more

So happy we tried this place out!!! My husband and I were on a mission to find a new favorite hot chicken place after moving back to the valley from California and FIRST TIMES A CHARM! This place is amazing! We didn't know we could do a phone order so we ordered in store and waited about 30 minutes for our food. They were so busy, getting constant phone orders the entire time we were there, but the girl up front was a rockstar! I'm pretty sure it was only her and ONE cook running the whole shift and they were killing it! Low and behold it was soooo worth the wait! We both got the YardByrd sandwich and fries, one medium and one mild. As soon as we took a bite of our sandwiches we gave each other the "look"... you know the look you give each other when you realize "oh this is REAL GOOD". The first bite you see how fricken big the piece of chicken is. They're hefty, thick, juicy pieces!! The mild had a perfect amount of heat for me, it was definitely spicy but not too spicy. My husband who LOVES spicy thinks that the "medium" was more "mild". So if you can handle a LOT of spice you could definitely do medium or probably even hot!! The toppings were PERFECT. The mustard slaw was a perfect compliment to the sauce they put on it which is a delicious kind of vinegar-y sauce. The slaw itself was so so flavorful, and a perfect texture AND temperature addition. Cold and crunchy is perfect for a warm and spicy sandwich. The pickles were a perfect addition as well, for the same reason, but the slaw itself was great enough! The fries were seasoned and super yummy and they have REALLY GOOD ranch!! So get ranch on the side!! It's perfect for the fries and also perfect to dip your sandwich in when it starts getting a little spicy! The bun it came on was PERFECT. It's super super dense, which at first I didn't think I would like, but as soon as I realized how juicy the sandwich was I realized it was amazing. This sandwich was dripping so much from the juiciness and the slaw and the bun didn't get soggy at ALL. They really crafted this thing to perfection! I had to stop myself towards the end because I was getting sooo full but I couldn't stop eating it. I finally put down my sandwich and sat there for a good 5 minutes feeling like I ate way too much... but then I literally couldn't NOT eat the rest. I eventually picked it back up and ate the rest of it. I felt like my body and mind were telling me it would be a crime to waste a single bite so I had to finish it. And it was worth it. I was stuffed but so happy!! It's about 30 minutes from where I live but I already know it won't be too long until my husband and I come back here! I'm excited for the weather to cool down and things to get a little calmer covid-wise so we can enjoy the food on their cute little patio!! Also excited to try more of their sides! They all sounded pretty good. Kudos again to the 2 people running the whole show! We noticed your hard work! Thank you for the great service and delicious food! read more

JUST OK Really wanted to like this place, local and not chained, clean and friendly, it had it all but didn't stack up when it came to flavor of the chicken. Looked frozen and thawed under running water. The attempt was made, but I'll probably go somewhere else next time. Got their main Chicken sandwich. Came with pickles and slaw on it. Full breast breaded and to the spice level of your liking. Mild is also spicy so watch out! The pickles were boring, the breading wasn't crispy on the sandwich, but I was told the strips were crispy. Something about the flavor of the chicken wasn't up to par. I was sitting near someone else who never ate there before and we both agreed it was JUST OK. Better than a chain, but still there are many people doing hot chicken in town that happens to be better. Monroes downtown is a great example. I feel bad writing this, they are very nice in there and it's a fun location. But the flavors just weren't there today. Great lemonade, excellent crinkle cut fries and awesome sauces. read more

I didn't want to believe the sub par ratings for this joint. Being in the middle of the desert my heart leaped out of my chest when I saw this place on the side of the road in Phoenix, but alas, foodie beware. I lived in Nashville and This is NOT Nashville Hot Chicken. It's more like Desert Fried Hot Chicken. Chicken is juicy but that's about it. Way too greasy, not enough actual flavor and the heat is sub par. Medium in Nashville will make your face sweat. This won't make your brow sweat. The red beans and rice was pitiful and barely had any taste. The fries were decent. The pickles were the only thing actually worth noting. read more

I'd be doing them a disservice if I didn't update my review - since the original visit, I've seen pictures on social media that seemed to indicate a changed recipe, so I came in to try it again and am happy to report that it's no longer buffalo chicken and is more of a dry spice as expected with Nashville style hot chicken. The sides are still hit or miss, but the chicken is big, juicy, and flavorful and definitely good value compared to other places. The wait is much more manageable now and service is still great. All the food is cooked fresh to order, which you can see and hear through the pass window. The breading can be a bit thick, and more crunch than crisp, but the flavor and spice levels are done really well so it's more positive than negative. read more

I've been on a mission trying out hot chicken places for a while in Phoenix and i read about this place the first month moving out here back in 17' from Nashville, and from all the places i tried so far this place has the seasoning down, Monroe's uses a powder seasoning on top of the fresh fried chicken which is a cardinal sin in my book, you need to make your spices homogeneous in oil before putting it on the chicken. The only issues i had with the chicken was the breading and the lack of bread underneath the chicken to catch the oil so it didn't feel or look like i was eating out of a fry daddy. The breading on the chicken was reminiscent of a shake and bake since it was thin and not fluffy. Gotta give that point to Monroe's. All in all if they made those two minor changes it'd be worth it to come back. read more

This chicken is AMAZING! They use the best cuts of chicken and every bite is pure magic. Pro tips: If you don't like spicy food, opt for their classic - no heat option. Even their mild is pretty spicy! I myself am an absolute wimp when it comes to spice so I was choking on the mild, but was obviously fine with their no heat option. If you like heat, a good starting point is medium. My fiancé LOVES all things spicy and was absolutely obsessed with the medium. We went two times in one week. Need I say more? Their fry sauce is super unique too! It tastes very similar to a sriracha mayo read more
