    Regular Chicken Sandwich
    Melvin O.

    Generous portion. I got the regular chicken sandwich meal and a drink. Chicken fried well and fries hot and crispy. I think overall seasoning both just a little too salty for me. Friendly staff and overall ambience was cool. For a whopping $18.45, I'm just not sure if this meal packs that type of punch

    Really really good deal on mondays

    Pros: I get what the hype is about. Solid chicken and fries. Lots of sauce options. Good service. Cons: bare bones industrial decor. A to go place. Not a place to sit and eat.

    Mac and cheese was so so good. 3 piece chicken tenders
    Judy B.

    The chicken fingers are hand breaded where you do not need a dipping sauce. It's so good. Service was great. Ambiance is casual.

    What a fun little chicken place! I love the decor and the atmosphere it produces. It got its name because the original restaurant was in the red light district. It is self serve, but the ladies taking the orders are extremely friendly and helpful. There's a cute little trailer for placing orders. This is close to our church so we will stop here on the way home frequently. We also intend to try their Monday leg special. Dan got white meat with Mac and cheese and I got dark meat with fries. The food was good. The chicken was nice and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

    The Excellent Red light Chicken Salad. There is a whole tomato and a full bale of greens under that chicken!

    Fast food chicken restaurants with the best salad. The big franchises or the independent locals? Who has it, the best? The competitors I selected are as follows: Slim Chickens, Chick-fil A, Waldo's, Zaxby's, Red Light Chicken, Chicken and the Wolf, and Charlies Chicken. Red Light Chicken had not been my favorite Chicken strip and wing joint. I didn't expect to be impressed with their salad. Well, I was surprised. They have an amazing salad. Add chicken for $4. A bargain. The spicy chicken was a perfect match for the fresh greens and ranch dressing. In addition to being very good, what surprised me was the volume. I don't know how they packed so much in such a small bowl. I think someone may have stood on it to compress it. We were stuffed before the bowls were empty. Out of the list, Red Light Chicken's salad, with chicken and ranch dressing is the second best. A bargain and delicious. I could eat one right now.

    I've had this place twice. Once late at night and once around 7pm. When I had it late at night I only ordered chicken and it was pretty good. When I ordered it at 7pm everything was either different from when I got it the first time or just not good at all. I ordered 12 wings and 2 sides and I could only eat 2 wings. It was extremely salty, the sauce was super thick and they didn't give me what I asked for, the bread didn't come with the butter and the sides were AWFUL!! Never order sides ever. They didn't even taste like what they were. I was in complete disbelief. The first time I had it I was craving it because the garlic buffalo sauce was good, the chicken was crispy and the butter and bread combo was so amazing. I ordered more chicken the second time just to get an extra roll and butter. Only to not get it. I ordered on door dash. The second experience was so bad that I doubt I'd ever eat here again. I'm giving it 2 stars because the first time was good but the second time was so bad I can't give it any more points than that.

    It's this cute little joint on 11th Street in the old Route 66 district. You order from an old-school Shasta trailer, which is already a vibe, and then you get hit with some of the best fried chicken you'll ever put in your mouth. We got the regular fried chicken and the tenders -- both original and spicy -- and every single bite was amazing. Lightly breaded, super flavorful, not greasy at all. Basically, if chicken had a red carpet moment, this would be it. And then the mac and cheese happened. I'm still thinking about it. Creamy, cheesy, pure comfort. I actually said out loud, "This might be the best mac and cheese of my life," and I stand by that dramatic statement. The roll and butter? Also stupid good. Like, why is the bread this good? The place is small but had plenty of seating, super chill vibes, and honestly, I already want to go back. If you live in Tulsa or you're just passing through, go eat here. Cancel your other dinner plans. This is the one.

    Fried chicken joint. Original location was in the former red light district of Tulsa. Hence the name. Counter service. We both ordered the 1/4 chicken. Hers was dark meat and mine white meat. Her side was fries and mine Mac&cheese. We're both pleased with our choices. The yeasty rolls come with a sweet honey butter. Wide open and airy the dining space appears to have once been a service bay for vehicles.

    3 Tender meal, sweet potato casserole
    Kristen S.

    I thought the chicken here was super tender and crunchy. The food came out hot and fresh. The sweet potato casserole is a fun side that I have never seen offered at a chicken joint. I really liked the ranch and Buffalo sauce, just a shame they charge for more than one sauce. The service was nothing special, same for the ambiance. The first time I visited, I ordered a Strawberry Fields cocktail and it was super tasty. The second visit I ordered the same drink and it was pretty bland so that was a bummer. Overall, great food. Prices are a little high for what it is, but it's probably the location.

    We stopped in after the lunch rush, and we were the only people there. It's a clean and casual atmosphere- you order at a retrofitted camper trailer, which is a cute touch. We each ordered spicy chicken sandwiches, and they were good. The heat isn't too much at all- it builds a bit as you eat. They use chicken tenders in the sandwich. The fries were stellar- crinkle cut and very crispy. The kids got Mac and cheese for their sides- that was good as well- very creamy. The food tasted fresh, and the portions were large. The tab for 3 regular meals and 1 kids meal was around $60. I'd like to come back to try their spicy bone-in chicken. They also have regular- non-spicy as an option.

    We were visiting from Vegas and decided to give Red Light Chicken a try. The service was really great and fast, we didn't have to wait long for our drinks or food. I tried their cranberry margarita, which unfortunately was watery and lacked flavor. For an appetizer we had the queso and chips, which was an odd dish for me as the chips were wavy potato chips instead of tortilla chips. The queso had good flavor, but I couldn't get over how off the potato chips tasted with it. On a positive, our entrees were delicious! I had the two strips (spicy) with crinkle fries and a roll. I usually can't eat the entire meal, but this was so good I demolished it! My boyfriend had the spicy chicken sandwich with fries and we both agreed it was some of the best hot chicken we've had. I love spicy food and this definitely had a good kick, while still being enjoyable to eat. The chicken was moist and the fries had the perfect crisp. I'd definitely recommend this place for the entrees- not so much the drinks and queso.

    Catfish  coleslaw, mashed potatoes with white gravy, & a roll. Yummy.
    Robert D.

    I had some business with the Sky gallery in Tulsa around lunch time, and saw that the Red Light chicken restaurant next door was open. A nice little place that specializes in chicken but with plenty of other items on the menu to please everyone. The Sky gallery folks suggested the fried catfish so that's what I ordered. It came with a tasty coleslaw, roll & honey butter, and I chose the mashed potatoes with white gravy as my side. The catfish came out a beautiful golden brown, nicely seasoned with a yummy tartar sauce. The mashed potatoes & gravy were delicious. The coleslaw was workman like, but with a vary small portion. The roll was good & the sweet butter was a nice touch. Next time I visit the Sky gallery I'll revisit Red Light chicken and test out the chicken. Give Red Light chicken a try, I don't think you'll be sorry.

    Another addition to the Mcneillie's restaurant group in downtown where El Guapo used to be located. We went to Red Light Chicken on a Friday night for dinner. First clue it was probably a bad idea, the place was completely empty. This didn't deter us we wanted to try this place for a while anyways. We started with the Deviled egg dip with fried saltines. Deviled eggs are usually a great go to appetizer for us but this dish was pretty disappointing. To accompany the appetizer we got their frozen hard limonade swirl with cherry. It tasted terrible, like a cheap premade drink full of artificial flavors. For the main course we decided to share the whole fried chicken with two large sides. You can get half spicy and half original flavor. The spicy flavor was better, not too much kick. The original flavor was so bland definitely would not recommend this. We picked cole slaw and fries for the sides both solid standard sides. Unfortunately the food and drinks were very underwhelming, there are much better options for fried chicken in town. We probably won't return to Red Light Chicken unless we were going out with others who wanted to go there.

Service was spot on throughout the entire night. We started with the deviled eggs, half plain and half Chef's Choice. The Chef's Choice were the best, drizzled with chili crisp (or pickled Szechuan peppercorns) and topped with a tiny gherkin and fresh dill. The soup of the day was a cabbage and radish soup. It was interesting and very homey but I wish I had ordered the salad. I had the Novarro Farm sweet Potato Gnocchi (kale and pecan pesto, Birch Bottom Farm Georgia candy roaster, fresh chevre). I was a little hesitant about the kale pesto but should NOT have been. This dish was delicious--great garlic flavor. Would order again. The burger looked amazing and while The Hubs said it was good, he also said it needed some more spice. They had a couple of rotating beers from Heirloom--a Mexican Lager and an Italian Pilsner. I had the Water Lily cocktail, their take on an Aviation. Order it just because it's beautiful (and refreshing). The photo does not depict the deep color of it. I asked what other gin based cocktails they had on their menu. They didn't but the server/bartender offered to make me a Bee's Knees for the second round. It was delicious! The atmosphere here is casual but the food is elevated. I kept thinking this is what a French bistro would be like inside. I want to come back and shop the market. Oh, and the apple pie was excellent as well!

Despite the name confusion it's a small restaurant with a laser focus on some popular Moroccan food. The menu is concise but offers enough variety to keep the palate satisfied.

My wife ordered Chicken Tajine with caramelized Prunes and Apricot. I ordered Beef Pastila, a phyllo dough filled with beef stew and almond paste topped with honey. It was absolutely delicious. I almost wanted to call it Beef Baklava because the drizzle of honey over the phyllo dough reminded me of Baklava. We really liked the more intimate, smaller space of the restaurant. When weather permits there is some outside seating. There is a breakfast menu which I have not ordered from yet. Maybe next visit. Overall the experience here was great albeit the service was slow. I'd much rather support a locally owned small restaurant than a chain restaurant any day of the week.

You order and pay at the counter. Then depending on how busy they are they will bring your food to your table or have you pick up at the counter. For me the cherry on top is their pay it forward meal. For $15 you can buy a meal for someone in need. They hand you a receipt that you pin to a board. Then when someone needs a meal they can go in and grab one off the board. They offer them their lunch special. While I was there I saw a very grateful individual come in and get a meal. The staff were super nice and treated them just like any other customer. Great food! Great service! Great value! Do yourself a favor and try this place!
