First time visiting Running Chicks. Three of us dined in, and because I had never been there before, I called ahead of time to ask about the likelihood of getting a table if we went around 5 pm. The woman who answered the phone was very nice! Because it was a holiday (4th of July), I had no idea what it would be like. She said that it should be fine, and that usually they get busy around 6 pm.
We ended up getting there about 5:30 pm. It was not crowded, and we got a table to dine in. We ended up ordering the Group Meal #1, which consisted of 10 pieces of wings (we got bone-in), 4 drumsticks, 2 sides and comp side. We opted for two orders of the fries, and the comp side was the pickled radish. Be sure to check in on Yelp to get 1 free wing when ordering wings! They also have a loyalty program--- I received a stamp card and I think I can get a free drink or something next time.
The food was absolutely delicious! We got both the soy garlic and the lemon pepper. The chicken was cooked perfectly and juicy on the inside---so good freshly cooked and hot! I loved the soy garlic wings--it was my favorite. JJ commented that they were pretty messy and he needed wet ones. But I didn't mind. The lemon pepper wings were also delicious as well. Drumsticks are really large. The fries were okay---nothing special. We got the regular fries. I love the pickled radish, which goes so well with the chicken. Next time, I would try the coleslaw. I also think the chicken would be great with rice. The Group Meal #1 was a lot of food for the 3 of us, and I took home leftovers. I heated up the wings at home the next day, and they were so good.
Ambience was nice, very pleasant and extremely cool, which was such a relief, given the sweltering heat outside. It even got a bit chilly, which was fine with me. There are at least 4 tables that comfortably seat 4 people, and one small table that seats 2. Most of the people were ordering their food to go. I liked dining in, because it was so good fresh and hot!
Overall, a great experience. Highly recommended, and I will return. Service was very good and our order was prepared fairly quickly. There is parking in the rear, behind the restaurant.
