    #Rambo's #2 2 Chicken Tenders w/ Fries
    Will P.

    This place is tucked deep into the Simi mall and was kind of hard to find. Walked in and it seemed like the place wasn't open, as there wasn't a cashier or anyone in the store. Once we rang the bell, the lady was very nice. There are no fountain drinks, only cans of soda and bottles of water/gatorade. The food was good, not as spicy as advertised (I got the medium and felt as if it was mild). The chicken and fries were made fresh and were steaming hot. The sauce was very similar to Cane's sauce but with a little more spice. Overall, a solid option for a hot chicken sandwich place but not the most accessible location

    Food is good, however for the price is not worth it. The service is pretty slow. The place is so clean inside and out, very quiet too.

    So happy we found this place! Local here in simi and it's def worth it. Delicious food!

    Only took two bites out of each, simply to be fair before I formed an opinion

    Completely empty, worker was sitting down on her phone when I walked in (understandable, it's slow!) but than seemed bothered that I came. Was like a robot, not even responding , after being cordial simply asking how her day has been. Over charged me according to prices listed on physical menu at restaurant, i.e adding cheese 99 cents per they charged me 3 dollars for two. Food seemed to just be sitting under a heat lamp or old and just got reheated? I could be completely wrong but it was very Dry lacked flavor, and the fries tasted like old oil. I've frequented MANY different hot chicken places, and see the similarities and how some places thrive more than others. Overall this place was TRASH. Service, GARBAGE. Worker, well... imma be kind and just say she should find where she's content.

    Rambo's #1 1 Chicken Slider & 1 Chicken Tender W/ Fries

    Rambo's Hot Chicken is absolutely delicious and I would 10/10 come here again! I came here during my lunch break and ordered the chicken slider and tender combo with fries, everything was hot, juicy, and super delicious. The medium spice level was perfect, and the coleslaw was a great touch. Meera, one of the employees, was super nice and told me everything is made fresh to order, and you can really taste that fresh quality. The painted walls and decor are super aesthetic too. Definitely support this awesome small business!

    Guess I can report that I'm not a fan. The quality of the chicken was quite good - plump, juicy,…read moreand tender. Unfortunately, "Mild" was not so mild for my tastebuds. I ended up with a burning mouth, and a runny nose from the level of spice. It even came down to scraping off the skin and spices to try to manage enjoying the center part of the chicken piece. Dear Hubby and I shared the #3 plate, which was one sandwich and one open-faced piece of chicken on a piece of Texas-style toast with a few pickle slices. It also came with a side of fries. We also added a side of rice (mistake - it was extremely bland and tasteless). Cole slaw might have been a better choice, and would have balanced the heat of the chicken. There were zero fountain beverages that I could enjoy. I don't drink caffeinated drinks, and I try to avoid copious amounts of sugar. I had water, and Dear Hubby got some root beer. The fries were quite delicious, and the amount provided was generous. That was a highlight of the meal, plus the dipping sauce for the chicken. The cashier was very friendly, so that was a plus and a good first impression. The interior restaurant space is really odd. They've laid it out so that two-tops are shoved up against one wall, and four-tops are shoved against the opposite wall, with an excessively large open space in the middle of the room. Seems like wasted space to me, and not visually interesting or welcoming. Farther across the room, away from the ordering stand and the kitchen, are several raised counters with barstools. DH and I ended up sitting at the end of one of those counter spots. We noted that there are other chicken spots very close by - Chick Fil-A, Zankou Chicken, Wing Stop, El Pollo Loco, this Angry Chickz place, and a Raising Cane's is going in to the spot previously occupied by Amy's. It's going to be chicken wars on two blocks of Moorpark Road!

I always get the mild because I'm a whimp but even that has a kick to it and make my nose drip a little. With the #1 you get 2 decent size sandwiches and a side of fries and you can add a drink for two dollars I think. We also get the Hangry fix bowl which always hits the spot but I think it's big enough for two people to share as well. Their meals are very filling. The younger crew has really stepped up their customer service. They are very friendly and the acknowledge you from the moment come in the door to the moment you leave. The restaurant itself is very clean as well as the restroom. And there is plenty of space for large parties inside. And there is also a nice patio sitting outside.

Unfortunately a big group walked in 15 minutes after us and I could see our food was just sitting ready at the kitchen counter after the chef rang the bell to let the worker know it was ready. The worker was busy answering their questions and putting in their orders that our food just sat there until I finally got up to ask him if I could grab it. I heard another woman who was frustrated at pick-up as she was waiting a while for her food. There definitely needs to be more than one person at the front on a Saturday night. Overall, enjoyed most of the food. Would come back for the loaded fries and smash burgers. Didn't love the chef special.

I ordered an 8-piece mixed (half spicy, half regular), a side, four biscuits, and a chicken sandwich. With a $6.99 coleslaw, I'm looking at $41 for a fast food run. I had to stare at that total for a second. Now the food -- let me be honest. The chicken was really good, crispy and seasoned well, solid 8/10. The coleslaw was fresh and topped up nicely, I'd give it a 7/10. The mashed potatoes were just okay, nothing special, 6/10. But those biscuits with the butter and honey? 9/10 easily -- absolute favorite thing on the menu, don't let anyone take that from you. Here's where it went left though. My cousin ordered her own 8-piece and asked for gravy. They told her it was included. She gets her order -- no gravy anywhere in the bag. She ends up paying $8.99 for a small container of gravy, when my coleslaw was only $6.99. That math is not mathing and it really left a bad taste for both of us. The food has its moments for sure, but the pricing feels like a lot for what you're getting, and the mix-up with the gravy was just frustrating. Hopefully they do better. However service at this location is good for the most part, they offered condiments and were not skimpy. I can't blame them for corporate prices.

But they don't stand up to the hype. It was very crowded on Sunday night both inside and the drive thru mostly high school kids. The service seemed nice and attentive. The place inside was a little dirty but nothing crazy. We ordered through the screen and got our order in about 15-20 min so not too bad. The chicken tenders do taste good with quality. They come out warm, soft but still with the crisp. The Cane sauce is good but the chicken tenders honestly don't need it because the chicken is good itself. I had their coleslaw which also taste fresh. Their fries were not as crispy as I'd like them to be but still had enough of the crisp and weren't all soggy. I had a bite of the chicken sandwich and that tasted pretty good but again I don't know if it was because I really hungry. They have a lot of combos to choose from and come off as a little overpriced. I don't mind coming back but really gotta be craving them to spend almost $20 for one meal.
