Wow. Expectation exceeded…read more Customer service is top notch here. Even though there are kiosks to order from, the staff consistently checked in to see if I needed help or had questions. This was my first time here, and I had a great experience. I met my wife here for lunch during her lunch break. I brought our kiddos with me; the place had food for the kiddos as well. My kids ate chicken nuggets, which is actually a decent portion for a kids' meal; we had leftovers from the kids' meal alone. Then I got wings, and my wife got a sandwich. The wings were delicious. I don't even know what flavors I got because I picked unique ones I had never tried before, and they were some of the best-tasting wings I ever had. The wings were juicy and crispy while the sauce was on point. My favorite item was actually their mango juice; it was so good, especially in this early summer heat. Damn, what a meal! I ordered 12 wings and had about 4 left that I got to eat for dinner. Took plenty of sauces home. The food was on point, and I can't wait to come back and try some other items. My wife says their chicken sandwhiches are fire.

After reading so many glowing reviews, Starbird was high on my list of chicken places to try. I…read moretried four places in four days, and Starbird came in last. Not even close. I was disappointed. The sandwich was small...about the size of a McDonald's hamburger, and it all fit underneath the hand-sized bun. I had the Japanese BBQ Bird. It was an OK sandwich, but nothing special or memorable. No need to say more. For a side, I had the Crispy Thai Brussels Sprouts. No crispiness. They were drenched in something like a thick balsamic glaze. It was overpowering. I could only eat about four at a time and come back to them later. They came with Thai herb aioli. It didn't help. One and done for Starbird for me. All the best to you, though. Seems like you have a good fan base, so that's awesome!

I have been wanting to stop by this restaurant and have had it bookmarked for a few months. They popped up on my TooGoodToGo app and what better reason to stop by for a pickup! The original recipe is amazing! Breading is seasoned well and crispy. The fries as the OMG dry rub so it has a slightly sweet, slightly spicy taste to it. Overall, it was a perfect portioned meal. I love the vibe and the ambiance this restaurant has. It is vibrant, loud and edgy. Chimmelier specializing in chimaek, the pairing of chicken and beer. This is DEFINITELY a place to casually hang out, and have loud conversations with friends. If only Melrose had more bars and night time events happening. Chimmelier would have been the place to grab late night dinner. Would love to come back and try more on the menu!

Those are in n out prices for some of the best chicken I ever had! The chicken isn't super spicy I think everybody would enjoy it but it's definitely not mild. Super crispy but not like a heavy batter at all. I thought 4 pieces was gonna be too much but I couldn't let any go to waste Sweet tea was great, the Mac n cheese was alright, I think I would do the slaw next time. The service was impeccable too, I sat on the far side of the restaurant not realizing there was only one server for the whole restaurant. Shawna was on top of everything tho and even offered me a sample of the pecan pie as I left Will definitely be back again! Probably tomorrow lol imma be thinking about that pie all day

They had a really good texture and tasted fresh. The sandwiches came on long buns kind of like the style KFC uses, but the chicken was way better. The chicken was juicy, tender, crispy, and packed with seasoning in every bite. The special sauce on top pulled everything together perfectly. I tried the Kluckin' Hot level and it had a really nice kick without being overwhelming. I enjoy spicy food, and for me it was flavorful more than painfully hot, which I liked because I could still taste the seasoning and the chicken itself..

Well, I'll tell you what, if I wasn't completely surprised, I'd be lying…read more Now let's just keep it real, I was already getting full from nibbling on other things in the same plaza, but as soon as a piece of that chicken touched my mouth from this place, it was OVER!!! It wasn't too salty, it wasn't dry, they weren't trying to over season the plate due to a lack of cooking skills, the portions were generous, and they definitely didn't hold back for the seasoning on the fries. I could see the flakes and the color of their marinade on the fries to the point where I have to get an additional order of it à la carte. The place was well lit and clean, and I enjoyed the most mostly all white aesthetic. I would describe the employee who served me as a gentleman. Someone who cared about the person he was talking to and wanted them to have a good experience. We even shared a few sentiments in our native tongue. Nobody in this establishment is desperate for compliments or review, but I can only hope that they get a chance to read it and know that their service, demeanor and conduct were appreciated far beyond the plate of food.

Since they opened-right across from Chick-fil-a on Highland/Sunset, I figured I should give this new Cane's a try. First visit was after 10p during the week in the rain we were getting; drive thru and lot was pretty packed but I was able to find a spot. Ordered at the kiosk and food was ready within 5 minutes. I kept it simple with fries, one sauce and one chicken. This was really good, and hit the spot, reminding me of the Cane's I used to enjoy when I'd go out of my way to Downey since there weren't any close by. I returned the next day for a box, and this was a repeat of a good experience. At this point, I've had more than a handful of visits and have to admit when it's good, it's really good, but when it's average, it's a disappointment. Hit or miss, I'm glad Cane's is close by, but I wish it was a hit 100% of the time. However, I'll keep on trying-

If I wasn't starving, I'd have tossed it. Customer service was ok; competent, but not warm. If you want bland fried chicken, chick-fil-a is across the street. Ambiance is what you'd expect from a fast food joint. Save you money, grab some toaster oven chicken fingers instead.

I chose it because a friend and I were heading to a show and I wanted something on the healthier side for dinner--and it delivered. There are tons of great options, but I went with the market boneless protein plate. The variety of veggies alone makes it a win, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling heavy. But honestly, the highlight of the visit? Joe at the counter. He was super friendly from the start, and by chance, he ended up taking his break while we were eating outside. We got to chatting, and he completely elevated the experience. Just one of those people who's easy to talk to and makes you feel welcome right away. There was a bit of chaos from some... let's say very enthusiastic vocal warmups happening at the jazz club next door, which might make me rethink sitting on the patio next time. But laughing about it with Joe turned it into part of the fun. Great food, great vibes, and great people. I'll definitely be back--maybe just inside next time.
