A new week another first time visit. This week we visit Tucson Chix located at Grant and Craycroft in the former Burger King location. Upon entering it almost has a barn like feel to it. High vaulted ceilings, raw wood trim, concrete floors. Overall well kept up, not dirty. They have a variety of chicken sandwiches on the menu along with bone in, boneless and chicken strips. A big plus is having cheese curds. They have a self order kiosk as well as walk up register. I went with a "Wildcat" and a "Asiago Parmesan" chicken sandwich, an order of cheese curds and a black unsweetened tea. My son ordered the "Sonoran" chicken sandwich. Let's start with the cheese curds, these are the real deal, white cheddar cheese of all shapes and sizes fried to a perfect golden brown. They pop when you eat them! Best I've had in Tucson! Now for the chicken sandwiches. Man I've driven by this place 100's of times. Why did I wait so long to stop in? The "Wildcat" Juicy perfectly golden fried chicken strips with lettuce, tomato, purple onion, chipotle mayo on a soft sweet delicious brioche bun. The "Asiago Parmesan " again first bite and the juices flowed. Parmesan chips top this delicious sandwich along with lettuce and delicious sauce. The freshness of ALL ingredients is absolutely on par. I am going to just say it, as a lifetime Tucsonian, I have never no do I think I will, find a better chicken sandwich in this town. So far, absolutely hands down the best fast food in this town. I will for sure be back. A+++ Happy eating all! read more

Stopped by here on driving home from Roadies. We got it to go which is about a 20-25 minute drive. It took a bit waiting in the drive thru for our food but to me that just means they fried it fresh. Overall the flavoring of everything was good. My husband noted the teriyaki chicken wings were drowned in sauce and was too much for him but I enjoyed them. The el picante is actually spicy. It's a slow burn, you don't get hit with how spicy it is until a few moments after you take a bite or bites. There were many other things on the menu we wanted to try but did not want to over fill on food. We will be back. I would recommend this place. read more

So slow...but worth it since it's always made fresh. Everytime I eat here the food is hot and delish...but don't forget to ask for ketchup..they always forget. The fries are really good too! Also- the prices are very reasonable especially compared to fast food chains. read more

Tuxon Chix - THE CLASSIC - Chicken Shop Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The hub and I had mixed viewpoints. He likes tenders and I like bone-in wings, so that's what I ordered, plus fries. They are pegged as jumbo tenders and wings, so I anticipated a crunchy outside and flavorful, moist interior. I know my hub, so although the dry rubs and sauces for wings are available for the tenders as well, I ordered the tenders naked. I tried the garlic Parmesan sauce on half the wings and the truffle garlic rub on others. Both were tasty. I do prefer my wings not breaded; usually boneless wings are breaded and bone-in are not. These were breaded, but they were juicy and crispy. These hub wasn't fond of the tenders. He said they were too thick, too big, and too chewy: more like a piece of chicken than tenders. I took a bite and didn't find them chewy, but I understood what he meant about them being too big for tenders. He really liked the fries, though, flavor and texture. I had a problem with the Tuxon Chix website, trying all afternoon to place an order to pick up at 5:30, but when I attempted to add the tenders, I kept getting a "try again" command. I finally gave up and did a bit of detective work to find a phone number, as I couldn't find it on the ordering site. A very nice man answered the phone, took my order, and said he would notify the IT people of the problem. My order was ready at 5:30 as promised. Four huge tenders, six wings, and fries came to $29 and change. There is plenty of food left over. read more

The sous vide chicken tikka masala sandwich is the best chicken sandwich I've had in a very long time. The seasoned fries were also perfectly crisp (but remember to ask for ketchup or you won't get any). I will definitely be back. read more

I ordered dinner to go on the website. It was easy. They sent a text to pick it up. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala tenders with French fries and a Mac and cheese. The chicken was tender and juicy. The smell of the spices was intoxicating. I really enjoyed the chicken and will be back to try the Tikka Masala Mac and cheese. Even the sweet tea was good. read more

Consistent week in and week out. I've made it through 7 sauces, the latest was Buffalo and it was really nice! Light breading as requested and the chicken is always just perfectly fried and juicy. I'm gonna bring my own carbless bun and try a sandwich next! Staff is always friendly & accommodating. read more

Thought I would check this place out and I was very pleased. Miranda at the window presented herself with a smile and very quick service. I took a look at the Wildcat with the fries and it was amazing. The fries are done just the way I like them seasoned and crispy and warm. The Wildcat sandwich was absolutely stunning. So much in every mouthful. I am very happy to know this place exists and I'll be going back again. read more

I learned about Tuxon Chix through Riana R.'s review (see below) which randomly popped up on my Facebook. Honestly, her picture looked so nice & the Caesar Salad Crispy Chicken Wrap looked so delicious, I knew I had to try it! It did not disappoint. The service was good & the dining room was nice & clean. My friend had the buffalo chicken sandwich and she also said it was really good. The portions are a great size and the fries were bomb! I did use the restroom while I was there and felt it needed a little bit a work (not dirty but needed soap and there was a bit of a sewer smell) but nothing terrible! Would recommend to friends and family if they are in the area! read more

This place was so good! We have already been back a few times, the vibe inside is really nice and going through the drive thru does not compromise the freshness of the food! The chicken is also halal which is awesome! Warning: they do know how to bring on the spice! So proceed with caution if it's not really your thing, but if it is you will thoroughly enjoy many of the hot options! The boneless chicken wings were more like giant chicken meatballs but I'm not complaining! I definitely recommend one of the sandwiches! Great spot! read more

I stopped by Tuxon Chix on my way home from work and went through the drive-thru. When I pulled up to pay, the man at the window told me I was the "lucky customer of the day" and that my meal was completely free! I asked if he was joking, but he assured me that he was completely serious with the biggest smile on his face He shared with me that he is the owner and today is his birthday. To celebrate, he decided to give away a free meal to the next person who came through the drive-thru, and it happened to be me. His kindness genuinely brought tears to my eyes just seeing how happy he was to give away a meal for free, all while working at his own restaurant on his birthday. I have been here many times before and the food is always fresh and delicious. The service provided has always been so welcoming and kind. I don't ever post anything on here, but I thought I could simply share my gratitude for the great experience I had today with a local business owner and try to bring him even more customers for his birthday! I'm sure would make his day :) read more

Really good! I wanted chic fil a on a Sunday so I ended up here and glad I did! the cheese curds are one of the best fast food items I've ever eaten but also one of the pricier items on their menu. The Cesar wrap was pretty good and the price on that was more affordable than the competition. Would definitely come back to try the wing flavors and more curds. read more

BLUF: was overcharged by almost $5 at the drive thru window after a long (15 min+) wait for 2 menu items. Was excited to try Tuxon Chix for the first time today. Arrived in the drive thru a few minutes before noon with 2-3 other cars ahead. Nearly as soon as we entered the drive thru line, the third car ahead advanced thru and pulled away, leaving 2 cars ahead of us. After a few minutes, made it up to the order speaker, was told to wait for a few more minutes by the Chix window order taker. A few more minutes goes by (like 4 or 5) and were able to place an order - 4 chicken tenders with blue cheese dipping sauce, plus a buffalo chicken salad (that comes with ranch dressing). No total is given but once the order is taken and confirmed, we're told it will be a wait of about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes we make it to the window, where the order is confirmed and a hand is extended for payment. My husband has to ask WHAT IS THE TOTAL, and is told, $30.97. He turns and looks at me, because this is seriously more than we expected for two items, and proceeds to pay anyway. His payment card is returned and a bag of food handed to him, with the statement, "I threw some ranch in there too" and the window is closed. We waited another minute or so for the person to return to the window so we could request THE RECEIPT - you know, for the world's most expensive chicken tenders. Hubs hands me the receipt, the window is closed and we pull away. I discover that we've been charged for lots of extra things - the chicken in my Buffalo Chicken salad was $3.00 extra on a salad that was supposed to come with chicken, the ranch dressing that was supposed to come with the salad is appearing as an add-on of .75, and the blue cheese dipping sauce that was supposed to come with the tenders is also another add-on of .75. I went online once I got home to place an order for the exact same things and my total came to $26.08 with tax. I guess this shop charges an overhead fee of $4.89 for the EXTRAORDINARILY LONG wait at the drive-thru? As far as the quality of the food goes, it's just ok. It's just chicken. Was it done well? Yes, cooked to perfection. How was the taste? Fresh and delicious. However, we were overcharged enough that this is totally unacceptable to me, so 1 star review is what feels fair and equitable in this situation. I'd be happy to amend my review if the owner/operator of this establishment wants to contact me to make things right. Until then, 0/10 do not recommend. read more

After writing my review several weeks ago, I've since decided to give this place a try again. Pleasantly surprised to find that they'd since brought in an operations manager who's been helping with the owners' restaurants up in Phx. What. A. Difference. This guy has turned the service around on this place. He updated the system so now we automatically get discounts (i.e. $1 wing Wednesdays). He's been hiring new people to work the counter. Same great food--only now it's consistently hot! And it comes out more quickly. We've been back a few times now, and I'm happy to put this place back on my go-to list for quick and affordable eats! Yay! read more

Only thing I need to hear and the only thing you need to know is they have Tikka Masala Mac and big wings with plenty of spice options Very cute little spot Worth the traffic And if you're a spice wimp like myself Do not forget to order a drink and run back to the counter in a burning lips panic read more

Stopped in here around 6pm on a Monday. I love the interior decorations, it's a really nice atmosphere. The staff were really friendly. Great menu with a lot of options. It was our first time in so I did t realize how big the wings would be. I got 8 with a side of curds...huge portions! The outside was super crispy and the inside was lava hot- a perfect combination. I tried the bbq, or maybe it was a teriyaki. Very nice flavor. My husband tried the buffalo, son got a sandwich with fries. All of our food was great. They brought it out as it was done rather than all at once. It was fine because it was close to the same time and we all could sample each others massive portions. Definitely will be back. read more

SUCH GOOD CHICKEN SANDWICHES! The seasonings and sauces have yet to disappoint. There are so many places to get a drive thru chicken sandwich in town - but this is what I recommend for a great quality sandwich that you don't have to get out of the car to enjoy, all while supporting local! read more

Tuxon Chix absolutely delivers on crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor! I have been driving by this place on the way to Costco since it's opened, and always meant to pop in and finally did and it did not disappoint. We tried the Tuxon and Wildcat sandwiches--both were delicious in their own way. To start, their buns are perfect (sounds weird, but you know what I mean) and I feel are the little something extra that makes these sandwiches stand out.The Tuxon had that perfect classic chicken sandwich-vibe with crispy, juicy chicken and just the right balance of toppings (I'm not totally sold on the Tuxon sauce but it was pretty good), while the Wildcat brought a little kick and bold flavor that I loved - I'm always down to put Hatch green chilies on anything and everything. The chicken was juicy and had the right amount of crispy without being greasy. The empanadas were alright - tasty but a bit on the dry side - not my favorite but a good little snack. Their fries were good - crispy on the outside and well seasoned. For me the stand out start was the cheese curds - golden, gooey, and addictive--definitely a must-order! Everything came out hot and fresh, and the portions were generous at really reasonable prices. Friendly service, a clean and quirky dining area with a laid-back local vibe and plenty of parking. Already looking forward to my next visit! read more

Wings still good, but today they were very soggy, greasy, and in general not as good as previous visits. Didn't even finish them. Not sure if I caught them on a bad day, but lowering my rating based on latest experience at Tuxson Chix. read more

If you're a fan of fried chicken/chicken tenders, definitely check out Tuxon Chix! The chicken comes in many forms: sandwiches, tenders, boneless and bone-in wings (both breaded), salads, and wraps. You can choose plain or add various flavors/spice levels that are unique compared to your run-of-the-mill fast-food chicken shops such as tikka masala/habanero, peri peri, Sonoran-style, and hatch green chile. The chicken isn't dry at all and you can upgrade to a meal to add sides and a drink. For sides, the winner is definitely the cheese curds - probably the best non-Midwest cheese curds I've ever had. The garlic truffle fries are a close second, topped with a fresh garlic cheese mixture. We've been twice already and will be going back for sure! read more

Always love going here for my wings fix! The lobby is always clean, the staff is friendly, and everything feels very relaxed! Food is amazing and the prices are absolutely spot on! Will definitely keep coming back read more

Tuxon Chix - Wings, FRIES, and drink! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We checked out this new place and spoke to the owners for a bit. This place opened this very month. The owners were excited to talk to us and explain to us about some of the Indian-inspired menu options, including a tikka masala mac and cheese and tikka habanero flavored wings. The menu included chicken tenders, chicken wings, and some other options. As someone who believes that real wings are bone-in wings, I opted for the 8 jumbo wings combo, which came with fries and a drink. I liked that the menu had a heat gauge for the different flavors. I had my wings with garlic parmesan and tikka habanero with blue cheese. The garlic parmesan wings were AMAZING. Bits of garlic with melted parmesan, and cooked to perfection. The tikka habanero wings had great flavors too but was too spicy for my weak sauce self. Fries were perfectly crispy. And the size of the wings were indeed JUMBO. I could not finish all 8! The food was brought out to us. You order at the counter, pay, then wait. In terms of drinks, there are soft drinks and also tea options. I enjoyed the mandarin cardamom drink a lot, and you get a refill! Lots of seating inside with music playing at a level that wasn't too loud for the ears. read more

My guilty pleasure are the cheese curds. Truly the best in Tucson. I love their tikka masala chicken sandwich too or even just the original one. They have great prices and the food is consistent and delicious. You MUST try the cheese curds though, I feel very strongly about this food opinion. The to go orders also come in a compostable bag, which is a plus. read more

Tuxon Chix - CHEESE CURDS - Chicken Shop Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Seems like from reading reviews, this new chicken joint is very hit or miss. It was a colossal miss today. A group of four of us went and they apologized each time they brought a new person's food out because it took a while and a some of the orders were incorrect. They were congenial about it and even brought out a free waffle, but the whole process of ordering, waiting, and receiving our food was disorganized and sporadic. The food itself was pretty good. I got a Buffalo Chicken Wrap that was expectedly mediocre, but those who ordered wings and sandwiches were pleased. If you go within a week of their opening, it's 50% off, but would say that meals are moderately overpriced beyond that. The restaurant itself was clean, cool, and casual, and they have a drive through option. This place is new so I have hope they can get things in order, but it was far from a smooth experience at Tuxon Chix. read more

Friendly staff. The wait through the drive-through was kind of long but they were cooking fresh chicken. The mac & cheese is very creamy and comes with a garlic breadstick. Next time, I'll try it with some spice in it, but I enjoy the three kinds of cheese, especially the little keto Parmesan bites. Very rich and filling and a good deal for only eight dollars. The chicken tenders are very moist, larger than most places, definitely and they taste almost baked more than fried! They were crisp and juicy. We tried the ghost pepper, which was too hot for us, but I'm sure my son is gonna love it. We also tried the green chili, which was my husband's favorite and I liked the Peri Peri. Two for six dollars or four for 12. It's a deal.! You do have to order two of each flavor you can't split the order. Definitely the best tasting chicken tenders. I've had In Tucson in a long time. One suggestion for the store is on takeout orders to mark what flavor of tenders is in each box. read more

Don't get me wrong the chicken was great and the fries! The reason why they get 3 stars is based on the side of macaroni. It wasn't good bad it just seemed like they poured velveta cheese on it. My friend is pescatarian so she ordered Mac and fries. She only got to eat her fries because the Mac just wasn't good. I would come back for the chicken and fries 100%. The staff was also very friendly. They just need to fix that side! read more

My favorite spot for wings, lemon pepper and buffalo are my go to. Fries are really good too. Great service as well

Chicken and fries were delicious. Chicken was moist and tasty. Wings were very good. Meaty and moist.

Perfectly crispy chicken! I had the tender basket combo (I picked Hatch Green Chile as my seasoning) and my husband had The Sonoran sandwich. We both couldn't believe how good their fries were. My chicken was seasoned so well I wound up using the Tuxon sauce for dipping my fries. Service was great and our food came out pretty quickly. The restaurant was clean, and I like how simple it is to order off their menu. The location is a little out of the way for our way, but we were nearby running errands and we can't stop talking about when we'll get to go again! read more

The food was honestly amazing!!!!! I got the hot honey and it was spicy but not too spicy! Sweet but not too sweet! Enough sauce on there but not dripping! The French fries was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside!!! Just amazing!! Staff was nice as well and the place was clean!! I have been driving by there for easily almost a month and never thought about it until tonight!!! TRY THIS PLACE OUT!! LITERALLY BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH IN TUCSON!! You're welcome in advance lol read more

This place is BOMB. All the positive reviews pushed me to give it a chance and we were not disappointed. I got the honey habanero boneless wings and my boyfriend had the hot honey sandwhich and cheese curds. It was fantastic. read more

I finally stopped at Tuxon.Chix and was pleasantly surprised! I find chicken sandwiches at most places including Chic Filet to be dry and bland. My sandwich was flavorful and the chicken was very tender. The price was good and the people are very friendly like they own the place!! I will definitely be back and will recommend it to everyone.. read more

Did you know that Tuxon Chix is locally owned? For whatever reason, I thought it was a chain but we were there the other night a little before closing and encountered the most wonderful people. The food was excellent but funny that I mention the staff first! That's how impressive they were and how they made us feel welcome. We met two guys behind the counter....a tall young man who also plays semi pro football and a young (guessing East Indian) man. They explained the different flavors and also offered samples of their "Tractor Juices" while we waited. Those organic drinks are amazing. I don't like sweet tea at all but theirs isn't sickeningly sweet and has a unique flavor. So enjoyable that I'd actually order it and drink it! The owner Patel greeted us as well and was really nice. Now the really important part, the food. We tried the Wildcat chicken sandwich, a "nest" bucket that includes 2 chicken strips, coleslaw, fries, bread, dipping sauce and drink, and an order of 6 bone in wings 1/2 lemon pepper and 1/2 peri peri. All were fantastic and the wings are larger than what you get in most places. Due to a little mistake on their part, the owner threw in 2 extra wings...one Tikka Masala (wowza, it's GOOD!) and one honey habanero. Loved the different flavors but the honey habanero was a bit too spicy for us. I guess you can call us a bit wimpy??? Excellent pricing, excellent food and incredible people. They plan to open another location too. Highly recommend! read more

Came for lunch with my daughter. We split an order of the cheese curds, and then I had the Wildcat, and she had Buffalo and lemon pepper tenders. Curds were delicious, with a light breading. The Wildcat was a more or less perfect fried chicken sandwich, with crispy breading, just the right level of heat, a flavorful sauce, and a brioche bun. The tenders were really large, and my daughter devoured two before running out of steam. The service was fast and friendly. I'll definitely be back. read more
