First review of 2026 and first visit here for me! We headed to Grandview to check out The Crispy Coop for lunch. This place was described as a farm to table chicken joint and also mentions being "rooted in the flavors of the locally loved Uncle Nick's Greek Fried Chicken". I am not totally sure what that reference means, but I can say the food and chicken was good. I had the medium heat fried chicken sandwich and went with mac and cheese plus the mashed potatoes and gravy for my sides. Everything was good. Mashed potatoes needed some salt and pepper and I never add salt to anything, but after that and pouring some gravy on them it was perfect. The heat level on my was great. I went with Medium and may try the Nashville Hot next but that medium was a just right. My partner loves fried chicken and ordered the two-piece meal with a wing and breast, no heat, and enjoyed it as well. No complaints there. Service was the best. The guy that took our order was so personable and friendly and walked us through the options. After we ordered, even brought the food to the table once it was ready. Everything was hot and fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Soda machines were down but sure they'll get it fixed soon, and the restrooms were worn and really cold, but none of that was a big deal really.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall a good experience and a solid option if you are craving some fried chicken or looking for a good chicken sandwich.

My first review of this place will also be my last review because they are getting ready to close. . Suggested by a friend for traditional southern taste, i checked out Crispy Coop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was packed early for a Saturday but I found out because they were closing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a 2 piece meal with Collard Greens and Mac & Cheese. The seasoning on the chicken was amazing! Very flavorful. Greens were just as tasty. I hope to see this business open up in another location. read more

I ordered a half chicken on Uber Eats for my wife and when she got it the chicken was undercooked. She is currently vomiting. If her conditions get worse i will take her to the ER and if they tell me its food poisoning I will notify the health department or file a lawsuit I understand mistakes happen but when I called the restaurant in a polite way to just simply warn them about their food before anyone else gets sick, the employee refused to let me speak to a manager and hung up on me. Also declining my following phone calls. Please train your staff properly and please inspect your food so no one else gets sick. I do not need a refund Uber Eats has refunded me but please take this seriously! read more

Last night was the last time for this restaurant. The chicken was over cooked, dry, hard. It was a disappointing experience. The company that owns this has put zero effort into designing the parking lot and everyone just parks randomly, making it unsafe. The side dishes from here were good but they are extremely basic and the fried chicken is the main show. What a let down... The service last night was odd, maybe it was a new employee, if so they need trained with how horrible the chicken was. read more

I've been here a couple of times and the food does not disappoint. The service is great and the wait time to get your food is not that long. The staff is friendly and very attentive and willing to explain the menu to you. The few times I've been in there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It hasn't really been too busy so finding a place to sit is not that difficult.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're in the area is worth a stop. read more

The Crispy Coop - Hot Honey Wing dinner with collard greens and Mac n cheese - Chicken Wings Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Had a really disappointing visit last week. The chicken was extremely dry (wife said it tasted like made yesterday) and the bone-in pieces were tiny. I would have been disappointed if this was from the grocery hot bar, but especially from a place specializing in fried chicken. Collard greens were also gritty like it wasn't washed. Mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese were serviceable. I contacted crispy coop last week to let them know my experience, but they didn't respond. Will be my last time going to dine w them. read more

Had the white meat chicken meal with 2 breasts, Nashville Hot, mac & cheese, and mashed potatoes. All very good again. The chicken was exceptionally juicy. I want to reiterate my call for a" burn your face off " Nashville hot, but everything is very good. read more

So today I was able to stop and enjoy The Crispy Coop. I started with the 2Pc. dark with a side of Mac and cheese. I went with the heat level of Tennessee Hot, it was a very mild heat, next time I'll kick it up a bit. The Mac and cheese was very good from earlier pictures I saw I thought it might have been boxed. Was I ever wrong this was homemade and had a great taste to it. Next was the chicken and waffles which were very delicious. The waffles were lite and fluffy, and the chicken strip were juicy and very crisp. A friend at the table had ordered the greens and I was able to try these, next time I want my own, sorry the picture doesn't reflect the serving size she gave me just a few bites.The service was extremely good and everyone was very friendly. Next time you want some great fried chicken stop in here, you'll be glad you did. read more

Second time ordering The Crispy Coop but with Doordash. The first time was my birthday during the Pandemic. I had the 4-piece Fried Chicken dinner drizzling with Ohio Hot Honey with Texas Potatoes and Mac & Cheese. The Coca-Cola Red Velvet Cake was extremely delicious and yummy. I will have to go to the restaurant and eat there one day. read more

Stopped in for lunch during a work training. We arrived around 11:40 and just beat the lunch crowd. I ordered the 6 piece wing dinner (Nashville hot) with greens and coleslaw. The chicken was fried perfectly. The Nashville hot isn't really hot but had a good flavor. The greens had ham and we're good. The slaw is mayonnaise based, it was a little different than what I was expecting. It was loaded with kale and cabbage. It wasn't bad but not for me. I would visit again if I'm in the area. read more

Got CC for dinner tonight (ordered via DoorDash for pickup). Everything was hot and fresh. Chicken was crispy and juicy. It was ready for pickup in just a short time, too! I say it every time, but these collared greens might be my favorite side dish of all time. They're THAT good! Nashville hot is the perfect heat level too. It's a mild heat to me (I love hot!) Perfect with a little honey! Happy I tried a kids meal this time. They have the biggest portions!! Sorry no updated pics but we just had the same -- chicken fingers with greens. It's hard not to stick to my faves but that half chicken meal is next for me! read more

Food was tasty and greasy and I personally enjoy on chicken. Nashville hot wasn't that spicy but was most likely better than the other flavors, but that is just me I like spicy, the food took awhile or maybe I'm just impatient. Food is served in boxes I believe and that is convenient considering it is chicken! read more

Honestly, I'm very disappointed in this restaurant given their high rating. It was being raved about on Yelp, but I don't see the appeal or the justification for the high scores. The service was acceptable and it's nice that they cook the chicken to order. In addition, the restaurant was overall clean and there were some TVs. However, that was about the extent of the good things I have to say. The tenders were just okay, nothing spectacular, and the sauce was not my cup of tea. It smelled okay, but didn't jive with the chicken or really anything. I asked for another sauce to try, the Arizona ranch, which cost $0.50, and was equally as disappointing. As for the Texas potatoes, they were...weird. Jonos are usually more like potato wedges, but these were basically 1/4 of a potato in a tasteless breading. The mac & cheese was good, nothing to write home about, but definitely the best part of the meal. Finally, the strawberry honey bun cake, which was basically a strawberry infused coffee cake and the flavors didn't mix well, to me. If you want my opinion, there's a Cane's five minutes from this place and you can get two box combos for what I paid for this meal. Overall, this'll be my first and last time visiting. read more

A wonderful visit. I was told a lot about this place from a friend at work, and it lived up to the hype. The chicken wings were delicious and actually had a strong kick to it for being mild. The guy who works there said the hot is crazy hot and will make you cry if you're not used to hot foods. I will definitely be back to try the chicken and waffle. It's worth the visit. read more

I go here often the chicken is so great and you can taste the seasoning and the tenderness from their marinade process.

Relocated from Houston so my expectations for food especially soul food and southern comfort food are high, but this place is AMAZING!! The collard greens were one of the best I've ever had! read more

The Crispy Coop - 4 piece dark meat dinner with collard greens and Mac-n-cheese - Chicken Wings Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Picked up food for my dad's birthday. I walked in and placed my order. I was told the food would be ready in 8 to 10 minutes, and received my order within that time. For my dad I ordered the Dark Meat Dinner with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, and Corn Bread. I went with the Tennessee Mild spice on the chicken. My dad really liked the chicken, stating it had the right amount of spice. On my order I went with Chicken Tender Dinner with Texas Potatoes and Corn Bread. I went with traditional for the chicken. The tenders were okay but nothing special. I also was not crazy about the Texas Potatoes, but I really liked the Corn Bread. Will try ordering different items if I visit in the future. read more

Quite possibly THE BEST TENDERS I'VE EVER HAD. Simply fantastic tenders. Good chicken. Nice. Got the 2 breast dinner - 1 medium and 1 hot. Flavor was good. Chicken breasts were tiny. Surprisingly small. Almost like big thigh pieces. If I were ordering again, I'd get the tenders meal because I'd get a lot more protein. Sides were nice. Greens were tasty. Mac & cheese was good. Someone will ask - it's inevitable - is their hot chicken better than Hot Chicken Takeover?!? No. It isn't. But the tenders are better than Cane's, and that's high praise. Get their hot chicken tenders. Delicious... Crave-able... read more

Happened to be nearby and Baby K wanted mac and cheese, so finally made it here. Handy location on a corner, smallish lot but easy parking on a Saturday. Friendly staff. We got a big side of mac for her, and she liked it. I got a traditional dark dinner with coleslaw and greens, and some hot wings. The wings were wing wings, no drums, and the heat is about HCT's warm. Good, perfectly cooked. The traditional fried it great: crispy, tender inside. The greens, perfectly cooked and with tons of meat, were great, the slaw too, though some might not like the style: creamy, and with spinach mixed in I think. Big portions, decent value. Definitely will be back. Oh, and the honey cake. Not as great as I'd hoped but still very good. Crispy on top, kind of like coffee cake. Yellow cake in the middle. Honey on the bottom. Yummy. read more

Delicious fried chicken place with good wings! I ordered my food through Door Dash. 6 wings with 2 sides. Mac and cheese and collard greens! The wings were a good size. I could only eat 3. I also chose the Nashville hot, which is the spiciest option. It's a step above mild. But if you're someone who loves Hot Chicken Takeover, it's in between warm and hot. The collard greens were good! I've had my share of good and bad collard greens, but this has to be one of the best ones! Mac and cheese was decent. It was made with the large spiral pasta. Could've been more flavorful, but not bad though! Overall, this is a good option for fried chicken. It's tough for me to find good fried chicken options in the Midwest. read more

The Crispy Coop - 6 Wings with Mac and Cheese and collard greens! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I received some fresh chicken and day old overcooked chicken. It was lightly battered & not crispy. You simply couldn't eat the day old pieces. The collard greens and Mac & cheese were average. The banana pudding wasn't good - missing vanilla wafers cookies. read more

I'm not kidding you, my boyfriend and I ate the chicken as soon as we got home hence the bones. The sauces were amazing! My boyfriend loves cornbread so this was a perfect side for him, and even though I hate pepper in Mac this had the perfect amount we're it didn't bother me! Overall, great service and very friendly/fast. Loved their Rick and Morty decor and the other cool hippie stuff! read more

Awesome food! The service was good, but at the Reynoldsburg location, we were the only customers! I hope their business picks up because the food was great. read more

I don't know... it was kind of disappointing? I drive past this place pretty regularly and it always smells amazing, so I finally made time to actually stop for dinner. I got the half chicken meal, and it was ok? The mac and cheese was nice and creamy, but could have used a touch more salt and seasoning. The greens were delicious, but I kept biting into what I assume were tiny dirt grains? And the chicken was juicy and well cooked, but only seemed to have looked at seasonings from across the room, at best. I know I may have made a mistake when I got sauce on the side instead of on the chicken, but even dipping a piece into the Tennessee Mild was a faint hint of flavor at best. (And no, I don't have COVID, I promise.) read more

The Crispy Coop - Chicken Wings Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I want to say I did a review of the food from here previously. I see not too much has changed. I think the food is tasty here and there, the size portion of the chicken is definitely off. So I'm not sure why it's just the to go orders that get the short end of the stick. But y'all need to do better. I have been into the restaurant to place an order to go twice everything was fine, and my other two online orders were just a disappointment. So I know the in person take out is better. So now I feel they give the scraps to take out food delivery orders. That's just messed up! read more

I've never had "Nashville hot chicken" that was NOT hot WHATSOEVER. I mean, zero heat. Less than mild. Definitely disappointing.

Typed in fried chicken on yelp and this was the first place I saw for Columbus. Decided to stop in and try it. I loved it. I got traditional flavor for chicken sandwich with Mac & cheese and cornbread. Chicken was crispy and juicy. Mac & cheese was creamy. I would like to come back and try a different heat for the chicken. They have traditional, Tennessee mild and Nashville hot! Service was super friendly and food was out quick! read more

The girls who were working were very kind. The food wasn't too shabby. A bit pricy but shows in quality. The mashed potatoes were good. Basic w some texture. I didn't eat the gravy - wasn't sure if it had pork. The greens do have pork. The Mac was using my fav noodle - cavatappi. Really creamy but plain. read more

The Crispy Coop - 4 Strips Dinner SM Mash SM Mac - Chicken Wings Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

We ordered two orders of 1/2 chicken and a large order of mac & cheese this time. This combination worked well for 4 people. We had one order of Tennessee mild and one order of Nashville hot. The Tennessee mild is mild enough for people who can't handle the spiciness. I like the Nashville hot. It is probably hot enough for most people but I wish it were even hotter for my taste buds. The mac & cheese is their best option for side. Their sides are the weakness. Also their thigh pieces are extremely small. read more

I'm sorry to say this is the first time I've been led astray by online reviews. I don't find myself in this area often but needed to grab a quick dinner before the CBJ game so thought we'd give them a try since they have such high ratings. Unfortunately I don't really know why, based on my experience. Ordering was very easy and smooth, but in my opinion the meals should come with a drink, even if they have to bump the price up by a dollar or so. Now to the food. I had the tenders meal with the Texas potatoes and their mac and cheese. Added a side of the Crispy Sauce, a soda, and the strawberry honey bun cake. All of this totaled $27, not quite as affordable as I thought it would be. The meals should really include one sauce as who wants to eat plain chicken? Then maybe do 50 cents for additional sauces. But that's just me, and maybe I feel this way because I regret spending 50 cents on the Crispy Sauce which was not enjoyable for me. It smells like Chick Fil A sauce but doesn't taste anything like it. I didn't care for it and ended up using ketchup for everything. The chicken was fine, juicy and hot in temperature, but very lacking in flavor. I know I got the original no spice but these tasted like just flour coated chicken. I also am not a fan of when chicken is cut/served in the way these were. It makes them huge and challenging to eat. The Texas potatoes are HUGE and are oddly breaded. I've had JoJos before but usually they are battered, not breaded. And these had absolutely no crisp, not my favorite. The high spots were the mac and cheese and the strawberry honey bun cake. The mac and cheese noodles were perfectly cooked and the sauce had a nice cheesy flavor. The cake was dense but not in a bad way and I liked the strawberry flavor. Overall I probably won't be back and can't say I'd recommend this spot to friends or family. read more

Haven't tried dine in but the food is delicious, worth what you pay for, and fast! I would rate the chicken one of the best I've tried here in Columbus-4/5. The mac n cheese is pretty good too, 4/5. I did like the Texas potatoes which I would say is 3.5/5 and the coleslaw is not bad but not something I would crave 3/5. I appreciate the service,too. They are very prompt and nice. Our server asked us if we've been there before and recommended things to order. I would say his recommendations were pretty good! read more

I had heard some good things about Crispy Coop and decided to give it a try. Overall, I was pretty underwhelmed and thought the food was below average. I tried the chicken sandwich meal with potato wedges and mac and cheese as the sides. They offer chicken as either traditional, Tennessee mild or Nashville hot. I opted for the Tennessee mild and didn't notice anything other than regular fried chicken. The chicken was only lightly fried, not the true crispy fried that I was hoping for. The sides were also pretty bland. All in all, just generally underwhelmed and disappointed in the food. read more

Great food and even better service. The food was surprisingly good. I am a Mobile Notary and I was completing an appointment nearby. I was at the light and smelled a delicious and enticing aroma. It's a beautiful spring day so the window in my car was down. I looked around to try to determine where the smell was coming from and low and behold I saw the sign for this restaurant. I thought the name was brilliant BTW. Anyway I turned my car around and headed in. I was greeted warmly, took a look at the menu and ordered the wing dinner with greens and Mac & cheese. The wings- fried perfectly and seasoned very well. No complaints. As you see in the pic they all gone bro. The greens - I'm guessing the were collards and they were great. I think it's smoked turkey in them which gave them a great flavor. There was also a hint iof vinegar which I loved. The Mac & cheese - it was ok but i would have preferred it baked. It was good tho, very cheesy and flavorful. I also had some red velvet cake. It was moist and delicious. Overall, check it out the food was really really good and affordable. read more
