The Chicken Koop has an old classic feel to it, but in reality its only been around on Main Street for a few years. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by music and friendly smiles from the employees. I want to highlight that our service was absolutely out of this world, and that I would most likely come back just for that. I'm not a super big fan of fried chicken sandwiches, but I was feeling really indulgent, so I gravitated to The Chicken Koop. I will say that the chipotle fries are super tasty and a great option! The Belly Buster lives up to its name, I felt like I was going to explode it was so much food. The fried chicken sandwich is tasty, and there is multiple options for flavors and rubs! I think The Chicken Koop is a great spot for your next lunch or dinner experience! I would recommend you stop by and give it a try! Overall, The Chicken Koop gets a 7.7/10! Not my style of food, but definitely see the appeal! And the service was great!!! read more

I got the grilled chicken sandwich with the chicken flavor side check (sweet & spicy) and a side of garlic fries. Overall, I did enjoy the sandwich and flavors. The garlic fries however, had a weird aftertaste that I couldn't get rid of. I'm not sure what it was. Service was good though! read more

Honestly the service here was great and friendly but the food is terrible. Everything was mediocre and it just did not taste good and not worth paying for. We always pass by this place and decided to give it a try. Its a dark atmosphere and a simple menu. I feel like in a way the menu was too simple because I had a hard time ordering. We went with the fried chicken and waffles, roasted chicken, potato taquitos, fries, hummus and a side of mac and cheese. The food came out pretty cold. All the chicken was dry, not juicy, not seasoned well, just boring and tasteless. I stopped eating shortly after because nothing tasted good. Even though this was all standard food menu items, the food was underwhelming and tasted below par for a restaurant. Sadly, would not come back here at all. read more

Came on Easter Sunday around 4pm with my wife. We sat at the bar and service was great. Turns out they have all day happy hour on Sundays where Margaritas are $7, Mojitas $8, and Modelo on draft is $5 each. For 6 drinks (2 mojitos, 1 margarita, 1 michelada, 1 modelo, and 1 tequila sour) our bill came out to just $58 before tip. The bartender "Angel" was great always made sure we were good and remembered our preferences. Music was bumping, good music playing and speakers were actually decent. We asked Angel to put on the Laker game and he gladly did. Would def come back for their happy hour in the future! read more

I've been to Chicken Koop's Whittier location a few times ever since they first opened up and I loved every bit of it. I haven't been to this location in a few months but went twice within the first month of dating my gf. This location having a full bar is a huge plus! I've had several items here including their Cuban Style Plate, Grumpy Chicken Sandwich, Esquite, and Fried Cauliflower. Along with that, I've had several different beers and margarita pitchers. Everything has been spectacular! One thing that stands out is their service. Both times, I had great service. Not only did our servers deliver, but also servers that were assigned to different tables would interact with us on a friendly level. I 100% this location and we will back in the near future to try out more of their menu and drinks. It's located in the heart of Downtown Alhambra and the vibes are great! read more

Came here to celebrate my bday with some friends on a Friday night. Made a reservation as I know that they can get quite busy from what I've heard. The restaurant has plenty of spacious seating, cool decor and colorful lights that set up a great environment. Our waitress was super friendly and answered all our questions regarding the menu. We shared a pitcher of their mango flavored margarita and it was so delicious. Perfectly sweet without going overboard and the balance to tequila and base was perfect. The Tajín rim with chamoy was also a great pairing to the drink with the tartness I love so much. Our table ordered an array of food from their waffle chicken sandwich, spicy chicken sandwich, sliders, taquitos and fries. The chicken was juicy and my oh my what a crunch on those sandwiches! The toppings, sauces, and sides all complimented the mains very well and left us all satisfied. I was gifted a shot for my bday which was cool and overall our time there was fun and enjoyable with the staff making us feel welcome and comfortable. Would definitely recommend for a celebration, happy hour or just because! read more

I was in the area a few weeks ago meeting a friend and her family. We went around lunch time on a Saturday and it wasn't too packed. We got seated pretty quickly. One thing I that caught my attention right away was that the music was pretty loud. I have been to the Alhambra location before but do not remember the music being that loud. Any chicken dish here is pretty solid but this time around I got the poutine and it wasn't that great. Not as flavorful as other ones I have tried in the past. My kids loved the mac and cheese and devoured the whole bowl. The staff was pretty attentive too so we never had to wait too long for things. Especially with kids that was a plus! If you are looking for some good chicken and grabbing a drink, this place is definitely worth checking out. read more

I've dined here a few times and it never disappoints. The bar has to be one of my favorites since it has great additive free tequilas! You can catch a game, have a great drink and good food and go home completely satisfied. The service yesterday could have been better, our server didn't check if we needed anything or if we were enjoying our meal. Had she have asked, I would have pointed out the Mac n cheese. It's probably my least favorite side dish here. The taste was off and I didn't bother with it. I did however, love the potato salad to go with my chicken and naan bread. My son ordered the chicken and waffle sandwich with poutine fries which he devoured. Overall, this restaurant is always a good time and the music is always a vibe. I would recommend dining here for any occasion. read more

Used to love this place. It's now impossible to be moderately healthy here though. There used to be broccoli as a side, cole slaw - now it's all heavy and fried. If they change that, I look forward to coming back... if not, there are other options for good chicken in the area. read more

This was the old Shakas location which closed and now we have Chicken and Beer. We only came by to order beer on tap and to enjoy a conversation with friends.

The Chicken Koop - Post Christmas Friday DEC2025 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Alhambra, California

I have been going to this chicken koop for over a year now and yesterday was probably my last time going. I was so excited to go because on Instagram they were promoting $7 margaritas and happy hour specials during the fifa World Cup games. We arrived, there was only 1 server so we had to wait like 20 minutes for a drink and another 30 minutes for our food. We ordered our food and drinks and when it was time to head out, the bill came out to $16 per margarita so I asked the server and she said they were not doing that special anymore yet keep in mind they had just posted about it on their instagram story that morning and it says "ALL LOCATIONS/ ALL DAY MON-Thurs" so it was clearly a lie. FALSE ADVERTISING AND THEY JUST LIKE TO STEAL YOUR MONEY. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION!! Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

I always order for pickup so not sure about the ambiance or the service. My go to order is the taquitos with extra everything! I'm not a fan of chicken taquitos, I prefer shredded beef but these are the exception. If you don't like them loaded at least get extra salsa on the side because it's delicious. Don't really care much for the rest of their menu. read more

Going to start off by thanking our server, Donna. She was truly trying her best. I've been going to chicken Koop consistently for years (at least 5), sadly this is likely my last visit. Taking away bottomless mimosas hurt! It was my favorite brunch spot to go and have given countless recommendations to visit here. We sat and it was completely empty, which was very surprising. Then we learned brunch mimosas were no longer an option. Half of the soda options were unavailable, rum was out- so no mojitos, and it just felt so bleh. We truly felt the overall experience shift and not for the better. I came here for my birthday and it took over 30 minutes for my drink pitcher to arrive, they said their systems have shifted so sometimes orders get sent the wrong side of the restaurant but still Server was alone for most of the time we were there but she was trying her best to manage all the guests. Many tables left due to changes and we considered it as well but stayed. I hope management reconsiders the changes that will ultimately hurt the business. Menu took a huge cut and many of our favorites are gone read more

If Boston Mkt was grown up, it would be The Chicken Koop! Tasty roasted chicken that is juicy and falls off the bone. I've never been disappointed eating here! Elidia was running back and forth as she was the only one that was taking orders, bussing tables and delivering orders as someone had called out and leaving her to handle everything. Even though it was busy, she handled it like a champ! The vibe playing 90's music and it being brunch happy hour made the ambiance pretty energetic. Brussels sprouts were perfect as well as sweet potato fries. The garlic sauce and cilantro green sauce is always delicious. If you haven't tried this place, you gotta come out and give it a try and you won't be disappointed! read more

This place left me full and satisfied. We almost ordered too much food! I got the chicken and waffles and it was delicious. What stuck out to me the most was the side chick sauce which kind of reminds me of a chili crisp sauce which went really well with the fried chicken. I was also a big fan of their fried pickles! Service was great and attentive and for a Sunday morning it wasn't too busy. read more

I've been to the Chicken Koop location in Whittier and really enjoyed it. When my boyfriend suggested their Alhambra location for dinner I was easily convinced. It's a busy area over there, but it's pretty convenient that they are right across from a parking garage. Upon entering it was really busy and popular. It was dark and pretty noisy in general and compared to their other location. We were lucky to score a small table in the corner, but it was cramped. My boyfriend and I both ordered their 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate ($18.99/each). I had my chicken upgraded to their Butter Garlic style ($2.50). This plate comes with 2 sides and 2 dipping sauces. My boyfriend had the mac and cheese, brussels sprouts, garlic spread and garlic ginger sauces. I had their roasted corn, sweet plantains, garlic spread, and chimichurri. The food was ready in about 10 minutes after we ordered so that wasn't too bad. The meal also came with some toasted pita bread, which was a nice touch. My boyfriend was really disappointed with his chicken. Mine was okay but not as great as I remember it being from their Whittier location. We did not like the mac and cheese. The brussels could be crispier. We agreed my roasted corn was the best side. The sweet plantains had a nice crispiness on the edges and I treated it like a dessert after my meal. As for the sauces, I did not like the chimichurri at all. I should have stuck with double garlic spread. The one thing I remembered most about this experience was the AWFUL WATER. Gross. The worst water I ever sipped, to the point I had to spit it back out. Gross. If service was more attentive I would have ordered a soda or something. I was thirsty and dry throughout my whole meal but couldn't bear to touch that water. Service was neglectful down to the last minute. We had to waveeee down stuff to get the check. The young lady who got our bill said this is the bill, but we needed to wait for our assigned waitress to close us out. Thankfully that girl went and grabbed our waitress, or we would have been stuck there even longer. We asked for a small box for my leftovers so we had to wait around a bit longer. Portion was decent, but the standard chicken seems dry and the sides were a hit or miss. For such a stressful area and disappointing service, I'm not really in a hurry to come back. read more

Came in today to watch a game during lunch. I got a cucumber drink that was pretty refreshing. Also got the Belly Buster sandwich. I was expecting the waffle to be crispier? Or at least hold its shape but it was really soggy. It was hard to eat because everything was falling apart. Aside from that, the flavor was great. You do need to add the maple syrup though because the chicken sandwich alone is a little dry. The garlic fries on the side were great too. This was about $19? Other people in my group got the bottomless mimosas for $25 a head. Price point is alright. Not the best but not bad either. Service was great. Our server was attentive. He did forget our drink once but that's alright. It was pretty busy during the time we went. I assume it was cause of the basketball and baseball game going on. It was a lively feel. I'm not sure if I would come back. Maybe if it's for social reasons. They do have drinks here but didn't try them today. With the price point and quality, I'd probably only come if someone else suggests it or it's convenient. It's not something I'd crave. read more

My girlfriend and I just finished having dinner here, we took advantage of their Mexican Independence Day special, such amazing food!! We had the battered chicken tacos, potato taquitos, garlic chicken combo with rice and Brussel sprouts, and the esquite. DELICIOUS!! Food came out fresh, and very quickly, within 6 minutes we had our food. The strawberry and Mango margaritas we had with our food were also flavorful, and the chamoy was an excellent addition. Our server, Angel, did a great job checking in on us and helping us with suggestions!! This is our third time here and we look very forward to coming back for more!! read more

Came on a Monday night for their 30 dollar margarita/mojito pitchers. I think that they are a great deal and I especially love how many fun flavors they offer, it gives us a chance to mix it up ok every order. Between the three of us we tried the blood orange margarita and the strawberry mojito. I like that they provide you with rimmed glasses for the margarita. Service was great, they checked on us frequently and helped top off our glasses. Would definitely come back for the pitchers. read more

My friend and I stopped here because our first choice had a 25-minute wait and we saw this place on the way back to our cars. The Chicken Koop is a lively establishment - a sports bar with a night club vibe. It was packed at 7 p.m. but there were two spots at the bar. The darling hostess directed us to the available seats where we received an equally warm greeting from the bartender. I ordered the Jaimito's Way while we decided what to eat. It was a tasty concoction of Mezcal, elderflower, cucumber, jalapeño, mint, & lime. The menu is extensive and everything comes with chicken, but you can request it without. We decided to share the Loaded Nachos (mini) with the chicken on the side for my friend. The food came out fast and was delivered by Iliana. It was her first day and she was fantastic! The nachos were a base of wontons instead of tortilla chips (which I liked) and were topped with black beans, cheese sauce, jalapeños, Pico de Gallo, & sour cream. We also got a cheese quesadilla (without chicken). The quesadilla comes with your choice of dipping sauce, and we selected Habanero. The Habanero sauce was awesome! The playlist was great, and I was digging the music. However, it was a bit loud, which made it hard to converse even though we were seated next to each other. I had to turn around to see if there was a dance floor behind us - nope, just booths. Overall, the appetizers were good, my cocktail was yummy, and the staff were all incredibly friendly. If I'm in the area, I'd stop in for happy hour or perhaps with a group for bottomless mimosa brunch. *Brunch Sat & Sun 11 am - 3 pm *Happy Hour Mon - Thurs All Day, Friday 4 pm - 6 pm & 10 pm - Midnight, Sat 10 pm - Midnight. *Free parking structure across the street.
