    Wife and I came here honestly because the pizza place next door was closed and I'm so glad this happened. We got the chicken wraps and for the price they were amazing but even price aside they were amazing. Chicken was crispy and cooked perfectly, coleslaw added a nice crunch and the tortilla was SO good. Will definitely be back!

    Interior with self-order kiosks and lots of indoor seating

    My mom and I found this fried chicken establishment randomly while walking to DSW from the parking structure. We were amazed at how large the interior of Zach's Chicken was. You order at a kiosk, but staff are available to answer questions and accommodate special requests. Plenty of seating inside, and you could also take your food to-go and just eat it at one of the many outdoor tables. We ordered the Hangry Zach, which comes with four tenders, some sliced pickles, and two sauces of our choice, and we added a side of fries. We requested half nonspicy and half spicy for the tenders, which they graciously honored. Tenders were crispy and meaty, definitely fried fresh. Piping hot yet not super greasy. The fries were the crinkle type, and they were kinda meh to me, maybe because they were too dry. We liked the Zach's Sauce, which is their "version of Chipotle Aioli," but the Nashville Kicker Hot Sauce was underwhelming and very watered down. Everything was a bit pricey for fast food - the total came out to over $19 for tenders and fries! I won't drive to Metro Pointe specifically for Zach's Chicken, but it was a satisfying quick meal after running errands.

    I hadn't heard of this place until today when I looked up where to get a good chicken sandwich on Yelp. I was pleasantly surprised at just how tasty this chicken is. I love the sauce too! I would def eat here again. It doesn't get five stars because no one greeted me upon entering and no one said see you later when I left. Other than that, great overall experience.

    This place turned out to have one of the best fried chicken I've had in OC. It's very crispy and delicious. The coating is just right and delicious. The chicken wrap and slider was about $7 which was a great deal. The place looks quite well maintain and service was great.

    Sandwiched between a business park and shopping plaza, I decided to try this place while charging my Lucid in the parking lot next door. Walking you are getter by kiosks, so if human interaction is your thing this might not be the place for you but I can appreciate keeping costs down and making food affordable, which I feel this place does. I had their loaded fries and fountain drink. I didn't really expect much but to my surprise the chicken pieces were super juicy and still crispy on the outside. A pleasant surprise. The sauce on it was good but I paid extra ($0.50) for a couple of different options. Crinkle cut fries, my fav, and a nice outdoor patio with waterfall sounds rounded off a good experience. If you haven't tried it, it worth a visit. Bon appetit

    The Happy Zach Meal

    Excellent chicken tenders! We did an order on DoorDash and were extremely pleased with the quality of the meal. The chicken tenders were super crispy and I loved the flavor of the batter. I also got the kaleslaw which I really liked a lot. It reminded me of collard greens and there was a delightful smokiness in the sauce. Hubby got a chicken sandwich and buffalo chicken fries. He said they were both pretty good. The tenders were a decent size and I only ended up finishing two of them but the third one heated up well when I airfried it the next day.

    Had the chicken wrap and chicken tenders, both were absolutely delicious. The wrap was fresh and flavorful, and the tenders were perfectly crispy and juicy. The fries were hot and seasoned well, and the sauce was amazing, definitely took everything to the next level. Great portion sizes and everything was cooked just right. Highly recommend!

    Located in the Metro Pointe plaza, this fast-casual eatery is at the far end of the complex. They do the popular Nashville chicken sandwich thing (although they also serve beef burgers). All ordering is done at a kiosk then you take a seat and they call your name when it's ready. A sweet and helpful young woman came out to check on me as I started to order on the kiosk to let me know she was there to help if I had any trouble and sure enough I quickly did. I thought the screen froze up but it just needed to be swiped upward. Quit laughing; I'm old and feeble minded. Lots of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating is available. I sat inside and ate my Zach's Original sandwich (two chicken tenders in a brioche bun with pickles and their secret sauce), crinkle fries, and fresh squeezed lemonade. You can order your chicken at various spice levels but I got mine at the "easy" level. Which is the same a "pretty much none". The chicken had a delicious crispy exterior and juicy, quality, white-meat chicken beneath. These were the best chicken tenders I've had. The brioche bun tried to hold up but was too fresh and soft to hold together for the duration so I was picking up pieces with my fingers before I was finished. The lemonade was superb - I really liked it and would push you to get it as your drink if you like lemonade. The fries would have been good if not mercilessly over salted. After eating several I think my tongue dried up to resemble a raisin. Instead of ketchup I got a small container of their smoky sauce for dipping which I thought was pretty tasty and lived up to its name. I randomly ate here after going to a movie in this plaza and got lucky - I'm glad I tried it.

    First time here and the slider deal $6.95 was so awesomely delicious! My daughter loves Canes and agrees the chicken at Zack's is just as good and even better! If you're ever is Costa Mesa, check it out!

    The Sloppy Zach
    Amy L.

    Ordered online and was still crispy after 30 mins. Kool Zach ($12) - 2 chicken tenders, havarti cheese and ranch dressing on brioche bun. The chicken tenders were seasoned well. I only wish there was more ranch dressing. Sloppy Zach ($11) - 2 chicken tenders, kale slaw, pickles on a brioche bun. Tbh both sandwich tasted the same as they had the sweet and sour element. I chose the risky heat level and it was nice lingering spice. Sandwich was a good size but probably would order 2 for 1 person.

    Tried the Zach's Wrap and added Fries to make it a california burrito for an additional $1. They had a deal for a $7 burrito so our total was only around $8! It was a decently sized burrito for $8. The sauce they had in it was good and I liked the veggies in it as well. Only kiosk order which was interesting and we came on a slow day. Only waited maybe like 5-7 minutes for the burrito as well.

    They only offer self serve kiosks, no wait staff.
    Cheryl H.

    I stopped here for lunch on a weekday. I was surprised they don't have any cashiers, it's only self serve kiosks. I'm assuming they did that to save money, not a bad idea. Ordering was easy and fast, the kiosk user interface was simple to use. I got the sloppy Joe, and I wish I would have added a sauce because it was dry. The chicken and the kale slaw was good, just needed more sauce. My mom got the tenders and said they were good but too much breading. Overall, I would try this place again but get the wrap instead. The place it self was very clean, and staff seemed friendly.

    Andrew L.

    This place was incredibly good. Self serve stands worked perfectly, was nice and cold inside on a hot day.. food came out very fast and very hot. Tried the chicken sandwich with slaw and would rate it 5/5. Girlfriend got chicken tenders and they weren't as flavorful. Still would come back anytime Bathrooms were also super clean

Now there are multiple locations, but OC's very own is right here! It's near 4th St, so there's plenty to do to work up an appetite too! Walking into the restaurant, you're greeted with some adorable decor, with nice little booths to sit your tush down at. They've got a tiny menu, so don't take too long to order! After all, you're really here for only a few things! To start, we got some fried pickles to snack on! Careful, these come out HOT HOT HOT, but they're the perfect texture and flavor, especially paired with that ranch. Crunchy, acidic, and making you want more! And more we got, with this classic combo, a 3 piece dark. Now it comes in dark or white or both, so you can choose what you like, but that juicy dark meat is just how WE like it. Mmm, look at that texture. Look at the give. Look at that amazing cripy shardy crunch. Yes yes yes. And that's not all. They've got sides to choose too. Baked beans and slaw. Perfect accompaniments, because you're gonna want something creamy, like those beans, and more fresh, like that slaw. We also got a mac and cheese to share, and it's that classic inoffensive and gooey southern mac that people love, including us!

Loved how comfortable the restaurant felt. We started with the deep fried green tomatoes which were perfect. The batter was crispy and flavorful and the ratio of green tomatoes was perfect. We got the 8 piece fried chicken mix, Mac and cheese and Cole slaw. The mac was not that good, very Kraft like and the cheese on top didn't really melt. Coleslaw I liked, it was like KFCs if you like the sweet, creamy kind. Now the chicken, it was perfect. Perfectly crispy and the meat was so moist. The batter wasn't too thick and the seasoning was perfect. Service here was excellent as well and we were really taken care of. We will definitely be back!

There is a good sized parking lot behind the restaurant. The ordering counter is on the front side of the building. Once parked, you can either walk around the building, or walk through the open-air covered patio. I walked around to get a closer look at the unique chicken-head Beatles' Abbey Road mural on the side of the building. The menu is obviously chicken-focused, and features various sandwiches, wraps, and salads, along with several sides. They also have a small breakfast menu served until noon on the weekend. After ordering, they will give you a number and bring your food when it's ready. I really enjoyed the dining area, which is a covered, open-air space with a high ceiling. I sat in one of the booths towards the front. Each booth has a classic painting on the wall with chicken heads on it. There are also many different types of tables thoughout, and more seating upstairs on the second floor. There is also additional seating in front of their full bar. I had the Coop Deville sandwich (fried breast, pickled fresno chiles, pickles, napa cabbage, lime mayo, artisan brioche bun, $14.50). The chicken breast was thick and piping hot, and had a great crunchy crust on it. All of the ingredients went together well and I loved the flavor. The bun was very fresh, and the sandwich wasn't as messy as I thought it might be. I was still a little hungry, so I went back and ordered the regular sized hand cut fries (regular size $4.50, large size $7.50). They are tossed in schmaltz (chicken fat) and a light dusting of spices. They were hot and fresh, and the regular size was way more than I could eat by myself. They have a self-serve sauce bar with five options on tap including ketchup, Srirarcha T000 Island, Sweet Baby G's BBQ, ranch, and pineapple mustard. I dipped my sandwich in the BBQ and Srirarcha Thousand Island, and my fries in the BBQ, ranch, and pineapple mustard. They have a cornhole game towards the back, are dog friendly, and host trivia night on Thursdays. I enjoyed the food and atmosphere, and would definitely return.
