Sassy Bird is one of my new favorite chicken spots!! The chicken is so flavorful and juicy. I can't eat spicy food, so I got mine with no spice, but it was still full of flavor. The bread and cole slaw were great too. Next time we will try fries to make a complete meal. The tenders are huge! A 3 piece easily fed me and my husband. I am not a big ranch fan, but this ranch was tasty. My husband loved the signature dipping sauce. Ambiance is outdoors picnic style. There is no indoor seating. Be prepared to wait, as this place gets busy and everything is cooked fresh to order. Service was great too. read more

It's clear nobody in Lancaster has ever left the town to try an actual Nashville chicken sandwich, let alone a decent one, because this was one was just plain sad. And quite frankly, without getting too ahead of myself, it's even more surprising when a chicken shack has better fries than their chicken. Starting off with a first impression upon walking in, this restaurant is trashed. It's clear management nor the employees maintain the place, between the chipped paint, broken boards and moulding, the bad stench coming from the "storage closet" next to the line, and the dirty, sticky floors. It's also pretty annoying to not have any interior seating when it's raining considering they have PLENTY of room to put tables and chairs yet choose to close off the area with the rickety desk set-up as a makeshift cashier. It's also awkward having the menu screen to your back when you face the cashier. We ordered the mild sandwich with fries. I will say I love the box everything is served in. Definitely haven't seen that style before and it's unique. The fries are also absolutely outstanding. Shockingly good, actually. They are steak fries but fried so damn well, they have an amazing crisp and crunch on EVERY. SINGLE. FRENCH FRY. And it seems they coat them in baking soda or cornstarch to get that crunch which is totally fine by me. The rest of the food was bad. We were given their "ranch" and "sassy dip" which both taste the same except for the consistencies which, quite frankly, both were way too watery. The major difference was the "sassy dip" was more mayo-water and the ranch was just tangy-water. Whoever makes these dips should honestly be ashamed of themselves for even letting the batch be served. As for the sandwich, the only good thing was the size. Although the fries were served hot, the sandwich was cold. The bun was burnt and dry. The chicken was dry and rubbery. Although we got the "mild" spice, there was absolutely no flavor. Go to any place serving actual Nashville Hot Chicken and even the "mild" will have flavor and spice. The batter was also soggy and fell off the chicken with each bite. The coleslaw was also watery and full of mayo. This place doesn't deserve anything close to the average rating it has. read more

The service is great. The strawberry lemonade is bomb!!! Must try. It's fresh and it's made with real strawberries. The fries were good but the chicken wasn't all cooked. Some pieces were edible but some were chewy and still raw. The portions are big, so you can share but I wish the chicken had all been cooked evenly. I was really excited to try this place out. Sad it didn't work out. read more

They had me a chicken sandwich they lost me at zero flavor, if your tastebuds are shot , and you've lost your sense of taste to covid this is the place for you , food is absolutely bland I wished I like it . Never to return read more

I've had Sassy Bird a few times and all I can say is that it is very inconsistent. Very first time trying it, the chicken was flavorful and juicy, but recently I've had overcooked chicken that honestly seems like it lacked depth in its seasoning. The interior has a little bit of a weird setup where if you're ordering, the menu is behind you. The service is good, but nothing to really boast about. When Sassy Bird does it, it is great. read more

I recommend this place! I had the 3 piece spicy tender; it was a bit pricey, but worth it for the portion and food quality. The pieces of chicken were very thick but very juicy! The breading was also thick and held its shape nicely; it didn't crumble like other breading... delicious!! It also held the perfect amount of spice. I love spicy, and I love challenging my spice tolerance, and this place spiced me out! Some places will have spicy with no flavor; this place had spicy and flavor! There is no indoor seating, but there are tables outside, + the area is cute. Service was good & quick. read more

You can never go wrong with Sassy Bird!!! This place is one of favorite places to go with our family. Food is so good and the service is amazing. Thank you to Ali, she was so friendly and even took the time to play a quick game of Jenga with my girls. Everyone at Sassy always welcomes us with open arms all the time. 100% recommend. read more

I walked in and immediately greeted and felt at home. The food was straight fire and the music was perfect. They asked what they could improve on which was nearly nothing and that shows they care about their business. It competes with the best spot in SoCal. Highly recommend. read more

Portions are huge and usually last 2-3 meals for us. The food is always fresh and taste good. We mostly order through delivery apps so there are times when the food comes a little colder, but that's not restaurants fault. Wish they had some dessert menu - a peach cobbler or banana pudding would fit right in! read more

got the mac bowl, had a real hard time finding any mac. the little bit that I had was smushed on the bottom of the bowl. VERY SOGGY. I would recommend getting the sauce on the side. sauce is watery, but it tastes alright. very big portions, but overall food quality is.... meh read more

Sassy Bird - Sassy Mac Bowl. barely any mac - Chicken Shop Near Me - Lancaster, California

We picked up some carry out for lunch. He got the 3 piece hot tenders and I got the 2 piece Buffalo lemon pepper tenders. Our order was promptly ready, and served with a smile. It's a cute place on the boulevard - but, as I said, we didn't dine in. The hot was HOT - can't imagine what the Sassy AF is like, but if you enjoy spice as we do, it was very flavorful as well. The Buffalo lemon pepper was absolutely delicious. A bit of heat and citrus made it really stand out. Yes, is seems expensive, but the tenders are not only juicy and delicious, but quite large. $37 bought us 2 meals each. We will certainly be back. read more

The food is great! I like how they have different heat levels. The only thing that I don't like is the set up. I'm very uncomfortable when I wait in line, cause it's such a tight space. The people who work there are very kind. read more

I had the chicken salad no spice at all. The ranch and dip are delicious. The salad already comes with it which I didn't know so I didn't even use the ones I asked for on the side. The place was busy on a Friday evening, we ordered when we got there and got our food within 15 minutes of waiting which was not bad. Parking is a bit tight, there's a lot of businesses and restaurants to eat & or hang out. read more

The sassy mac bowl was okay i had higher hopes for the mac and cheese and thought it would come out how it was pictured with the mac sitting on top of the fries however it was at the very bottom and had no flavor and lacked the cheese part so it was pretty sad, the chicken and slaw were good & fries were crispy id give it an overall 5 out of 10 rating only because the Mac was not Maccin lol the cheesy Sando was also okay the big chicken breast piece is a bit thick makes it become overwhelming trying to comfortably eat it maybe it could be less thick it would probably make it easier to eat and better in my opinion overall chicken cheesy Sando 4.5 out of 10. Good flavors in some areas but definitely would say the chicken could be seasoned better, less thick on the sandwich and the mac more cheesier (: read more

Great food and amazing customer service. Highly recommend. The loaded fries are a must try!

FOOD: Very tasty, I got 2 chicken tenders, tater tots, a guava jarritos, and their strawberry lemonade. Everything was good and they give you a LOT of tots! SERVICE: Again, excellent! The cashier, Jesus, was very helpful, informative, and nice! He was patient when I was trying to figure out the menu, explained and even offered a picture menu to give us a better idea of the options. AMBIANCE: Small cozy place with 2 tables for dining outside. We ordered, waited for our food (made to order) at the tables, then ate at home. You can also order online, I think by phone as well. There's no real space inside so I highly recommend eating elsewhere after you get your food. Great picnic food! read more

As you've all seen I love fried chicken in anyway it comes. So visiting California I was taken to this place in Lancaster, Ca. This is a one location establishment. Their motto is a little love = good eats. They weren't wrong. We were a party of 4 and had the following, 10 pc Sassy nuggets w/ fries, 2 tenders w/ fries, loaded tots, loaded fries, jalapeño poppers and mac n cheese. Fries and tots come with coleslaw and pickles. Start off with the tenders, super juicy and crunchy. The asked for it mild but you can change the heat on any of the chicken. Next the nuggets, not your typical nuggets. They were nice and big, freshly made with a medium heat rub. Now the loaded totes super crispy all the toppings that are poured all over made it a great combination. I didn't taste the loaded fries but was told the are amazing. The Mac n cheese was cheesy and had a smooth taste. Poppers hot and crispy with just the right amount of cheese. The great thing I learned was that they use premium chicken breast's that are never frozen. The portions are big and every order is made fresh. I didn't have to wait long but was told that on the weekends it's better to order ahead. So I definitely recommend the food. The young lady who explained the process was really nice and patient. They only have seating outside. So thank you for the great food. read more

I have to echo Angel's sentiments. The shift from the original cardboard boxes to the new plastic containers marked the beginning of a noticeable decline in both quality and value. Portions have gotten smaller--especially the meat--and there's a clear increase in filler items like fries and tots. The flavor profile has also changed for the worse, and even the side sauces seem different now, lacking the same quality they once had. It's disappointing to see a place that used to be reliable for great food start cutting corners in ways that directly impact the customer experience. read more

Sassy Bird - a burger and fries on a table - Chicken Shop Near Me - Lancaster, California

The food: I ordered the Loaded Box with 1/2 fries and 1/2 tots. The chicken was way over cooked and cold. Has it been sitting out all day? So hard to eat. The fries were subpar at best but the tots were decent. I couldn't taste the coleslaw. There's enough food for two people, but then you'd both be disappointed. I don't see what everyone is raving about, especially for the price. Half of this meal just went to the garbage can. The place: As soon as I walked in the front door I was confronted with a small table and several discontented stares from employees. The employee that spoke to me asked if I had received the text notification that the order was ready. He asked to confirm, went and grabbed the food, and then proceeded to complain about a break to another employee. ??? Why? I'm literally the only customer in the building and there's no line outside. Wait until I leave to complain. I love to support local businesses, but today was not a good experience. I will not return on my own accord. read more

My husband and I ate at sassy bird for the first time yesterday. A couple things, they don't have regular soda, only Mexican sodas. And they don't have combos. Everything is separate. I ordered the sassy wrap and a side of fries. Pickles were a .50 cent charge. The wrap was good but the fries weren't crispy at all, and I'm a sucker for crispy fries! My husband had the sassy sando with a side of tots. He said he enjoyed the sando until it came down to the last couple bites of it bc the coleslaw made the bread soggy at the end. But the tots were crispy and good! We each got a Mexican drink too. Together the bill was $40! Pretty expensive if you ask me. Their sassy sauce isn't as good as Dave's Hot Chicken or Raising Canes. read more

I've been coming to sassy since it opened. For the past few months, the tater tots have been hit or miss. Sometimes they're as they should be, golden brown and crispy. And other times (more than often) they're over cooked, hard, crunchy and dark brown. I've had to throw away tot orders several times because they were just inedible. Tonight was the last straw. I tasted my tots before leaving, and they tasted burnt!! Again! They were a dark brown color and were dry & hard. I gave them back to the cashier girl. Told her they were burnt and tasted terrible. She looked puzzled and told me they were a fresh batch. I asked her to taste one because it tasted disgusting. She walked away and talked with the cook. She came back and told me that the cook told her, 'that's how the tots are supposed to be cooked.' Lol wow. Really? They're supposed to be dark brown and overcooked? Ok. So I asked her for a refund. I was done with always getting overcooked tater tots. She said the cook was making a "fresh" batch. I told her, "if they're going to come out overcooked Again, then I don't want them. I just want a refund". She said no, they would be cooked right. So I agreed to wait. My order in hand, getting cold for those extra minutes of waiting. She then asked me if I wanted to keep the overcooked ones. I said, "eww no! Did you try them? It's awful!" She just stood there and looked confused. A few minutes later I received the new box. I wasn't surprised to try those and taste that they were also overcooked and hard. I just left at that point. It was 1/8/23 at 6pm. It's freezing outside. My foods cold. I wasted money. No more. Enough is enough. I had no idea their food quality was going downhill until I checked Yelp. I thought Sassy Bird was better than this. Better than most food places. Very disappointing to find out otherwise. Very sad. We frequent this place twice a week. I just can't keep throwing money away. read more

Sassy Bird - Overcooked, hard, dark brown. This is the replacement to the first order. Both overcooked. The first was burnt tasting. Common occurrence - Chicken Shop Near Me - Lancaster, California

Never agin after I took my order home the chicken was super chewy in my sandwich I called them to tell them they said no worries next time you come here we take care of it because I live in Quartz Hill so next time I come and told them about it they said sorry we can't do anything about it read more

Don't believe the lies! It's a small venue, walls need to be updated as paint is old and when you enter you must order at the counter in a 10x10 space. The customer service was good greeted with a smile and the menu on the big screen was hard to see and as I was searching the menu the counter person offered me a iPad to look at the menu and was helpful with questions since it was my first time. The order was completed in a short time and brought to the picnic bench right outside on the sidewalk next to the curb. The problem is this- the chicken was dry and HARD not moist, the flavor of the sandwich was bland, I chose mild but still the coleslaw with the spice covered chicken good idea but poor flavor and quality. I WILL NEVER return because of the bill! I was charged for the fries, the bottled drink choices were the Hispanic variety soft drinks no fountain drinks there, but my goodness $40.00 for lunch for two and it wasn't tasty, I think not! I would not believe the social media posts. Not worth the time and money spent!!!! Buyers remorse for sure! read more

Love this place!! Those sassy bowls are the best!! Good quality on point ! Totally recommended !

First of all, one of the heftiest chicken sandwiches I've ever had! Easily shared with 2 people (at least people with relatively small stomachs). Great sauce that brings a lot of flavor and while the chicken isn't so dry, it still has the crunch! Love that the fries are thick, not quite steak fries but still seasoned and delicious. While I love that the sandwich is worth the buck, some bites have a little too much chicken...so especially for those bites I like to add extra sauce. read more

I love Nashville style hot chicken and I love Howlin' Rays but I hate the drive and wait. I had seen Sassy Bird and had put off going. Finally today was the day. I enjoy relatively hot food, 4 on a scale of 5. At Howlin's I usually eat the level just below their hottest. My mistake was not realizing that regular was below mild and had zero heat. So to say this chicken was bland is an understatement. So that was squarely my fault. We ordered a chicken sandwich and loaded tots both with regular chicken. We arrived just as they texted our order was ready. I picked it up and we drove the 7 minutes home. We shared the sandwich and tots. It was prepared precisely as we asked and was well packed. When we got home the food was absolutely ice cold. The chicken did not have a crispy coating it was flavorless mush and the bun was soaked, cold and fell apart. The chicken in the sandwich was huge but with no flavor, but the chicken itself had been overcooked and was rubbery and bone dry; inedible. The tots were also ice cold. The chicken was also an extremely generous serving, unfortunately it was ice cold and also overcooked to the point of dry and rubbery. I am very disappointed. I do plan to try another meal there although this time probably just a tender at the hottest heat level during a busier time because the tots and chicken tasted like it had been sitting under a food warmer for an extended period of time. In short, filled as ordered, website doesn't give a good explanation of heat levels, generous portions of ice cold, flavorless, rubbery food. read more

I love their sandwiches! But i ordered through Grubhub today and I was very disappointed with my order. The Mac & Cheese was $8-9 and although i did read that it was an 8 oz serving i just figured it would be a decent amount. It was my fault for not knowing my measurements correctly lol but i was disappointed with that. Very expensive and it wasn't as good. I also ordered a garlic bread which was like $1.85 and was burnt. The sandwich and fries i got we're good, pricey as well but good. Overall i was just disappointed paying around $40 for my order and just wasn't very happy. read more
