    Chicken and Fries
    Van D.

    The chicken spot is about the chicken. Chicken was dredged perfectly crispy on the outside and moist in the center. The seasoning was flavorful and not too salty. There are many places to go for chicken but this spot is really good and definitely worth a try.

    Interior seating
    Dexter J.

    Wanted to try this place that I found near me because I was in the area. It was a mix of Canes and hot chicken places. The Interior seating is okay, it does have fans and A/C so you can escape the heat. The Buffalo Chicken Fries - 3/5 There was nothing really wowing about the fries but it was really solid. If you are wanting solid food and willing to wait about 20 mins, I recommend coming here.

    The #3 Mac N' Chicken Sandwich

    The sandwich was massive and delicious. I'm definitely going to go back. Service was great

    I ordered chicken fries and Mac and cheese on the side with ranch. Firstly, the Mac and cheese is very good and the chicken is good as well but the fries are so disappointing. The fries had a fishy taste and no seasoning what so ever.

    We got two chicken tenders, Cheese Stix, Onion Rings, 2. Retro Chicken Sandwich Combo, Mac N' Cheese, a Strawberry Shake, raspberry lemonade, and a cheese cake. The customer service/staff was very nice and helpful when ordering. We ate dine in and the food took about 25 minutes, which is quite a wait for fast food. The restaurant ambiance could use some work as the wallpaper was falling off and the tables were not the cleanest. The food was good, i would say the appetizers and desserts were the highlight of this trip. Will try again, worth a try!

    Came here for dinner and opted to stay and dine-in despite a mix-up with an event. The service was exceptional. It took quite a while to receive my order but that is because everything is made to order. The chicken sandwich was stuffed with chicken tenders, Cole slaw and pickles. It looked great, and tasted great, but was a bit messy to eat. The fries were a bit overcooked for my taste, but it is pretty hard for me not to enjoy eating French Fries. The restaurant is a bit run down and is located in an old A&W building. I will come back so that I can try the Chicken and Waffles. BTW...The Chicken Spot is ranked #38 in Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat: Central Valley - North

    Boneless Lemon pepper and sweet and sour pineapple
    Natalie R.

    We randomly thought to come here after trying them awhile back at a taste of downtown. We were impressed then and were very impressed today. The girl helping us was super helpful and great with suggestions. The place was clean and super fun that there's writing all over the wall. The food was absolutely delicious. We got the boneless chicken and it was the best boneless chicken I've had. We also ordered the chicken with fries and Mac. Delicious. My boyfriend got the lemon pepper and sweet and sour pineapple. Amazing! I for the ghost pepper and mango habanero. My only thing would be to make the mango sauce thicker. I feel like I didn't get much of the mango or the heat but again, delicious. We will definitely be back!

    Very SAD  experience !!!

    Everything needs improvement !!! Not busy ! We waited 20 mins for our #1 order of chicken sandwich, fries and drink. The chicken itself had hard grizzly pieces. The over all ambiance was cold and unappealing!!! Dirty and no bathrooms ! We don't know what people see in this place !!!!

    Is all the chicken they serve in the form chicken strips?

    Hi, Randy, no, the chicken is chopped into chunks and is easy to eat.

    Food was great. Nice and lacey thin smashie…read more Fries were good too. Overall would eat here a hundred more times.

    We can honestly say after several visits here; it's consistent, it's good quality and it's worth…read morethe price! The burgers and the shakes are the absolute best! The fries to me are just "ok" and the onion rings are good. The waffle fries are the way to go for a side and ask for them "Extra Crispy". So glad to have a smashburger spot in Visalia and they're awesome! It's a simple dressed burger and it's all it needs. It's the best of what you can get in each bite. Add jalapeños or bacon and you've just elevated an already incredible burger. Get those waffle fries I mentioned and a delicious shake and you're set. The milkshakes are thick and creamy with real ice cream flavor. The Biscoff was by far our favorite, but strawberry definitely tied for me. Making it a regular thing to come here on our days off now! It's nice that they're on DoorDash so I can get it delivered when I'm craving a delicious smashburger. If you haven't been here yet, absolutely a must try when you're craving a great combo. You can pay the same at other chains and you're not getting even close to the quality and flavor this spot has given! Multiple times! It's consistent y'all and it's delicious!

Inside we haven't seen "yet", but definitely plan on coming back after this visit. My first words after taking a bite of everything in my box combo was; "this spot is better". Have a lot of love for the OG location on Mooney, but this spot, it's giving them a run for their money. Service is on par at both locations. Food has been "good" not great the last time I went to the Mooney location, but it is always so dang busy and so far from where I live, never really go as much as I would like to. Jess thought we should try this location tonight and I'm glad she suggested it! We got (2) Box Combos, got our chicken and fries extra crispy, our toast B.O.B or "Buttered on Both Sides" and some Honey Mustard to go along with our Canes Sauce. Everything was fresh, flavorful and delicious! 5 all day to this location and sorry to say but I'm happy they aren't so busy.. yet. Gotta appreciate these moments you can pull up and get some Canes without a line out the drive thru. Will definitely be back sooner than later.
