The Red Chickz in Culver City. Pretty good. In my opinion, the breading could use some flavor, but it's crunchy as hell. Definitely a good coating.
The mild is nothing special in terms of heat. The medium is mild, and that's not me bragging. I do my best to assure people who don't like anything too hot what heat levels are really like. I don't like to see people suffer. I chose not to go hot this time, as I like to taste the food before I add heat to it, unless the place is specifically known for spicy food.
M-F they have a lunch special from 11-3PM. $9.99 for a sandwich and a side, or two tenders and a side (Normally $13.50).
On Thursdays, they have a special, also. $2.00 per tender. These tenders are LARGE. Definitely worth the price.
I got the original chicken sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. The sandwich is a single (but large) tender on a bun, topped with their signature comeback sauce, pickles, and some colesaw. The side of Mac and cheese is super cheesy and quite filling for a side. I also got two tenders, one mild and one medium. (Read above what I thought of those if you forgot.)
All in all, I recommend this place at least once. Their "Comeback" sauce is tasty, and a good addition to the chicken, considering the lack of any seasoning in the breading. I've been here twice, now, and I'd visit again. The chicken is really tender.
I'll probably try their French Toast sandwich next time. It's basically the Original, except that, instead of a bun, it comes on french toast, minus the comeback sauce.
I got the sandwich and side for lunch and the two tenders for later. Good stuff.
The place is VERY small, with a little counter space, two tables inside, and a few outside tables. Their parking lot is decent but can fill up very quickly, and the space is tight, so smaller vehicles are better off your going into their lot. There's some street parking, too.
If it's busy, expect to wait at least ten minutes for them to fill your order, as a lot of people are walking in the door to order, as well as people ordering online to pick up their food. They don't do orders by size of the order, they do it in the order it came in, so dont expect to get your order quicker if you only ordered one tender.
The last time I came, I ate in with a friend, qw both ordered a couple of tenders (I ordered three, which were one too many, but I brought the last one home and ate it the next day), with sides of potato wedges, cheese curds, breaded pickle chips, and cauliflower bites. I'd say the cauliflower was the best of the four, with the curds, pickles chips and wedges following in order of most favorote to least. All were good with neither of the last three being bad in any way, but the cauliflower was the best in my opinion.
If I had one complaint, it's that I paid an extra dollar for cheese on the sandwich and I didn't get it. I took the order home, so I didn't notice until I got back and opened the box, and it was further than I wanted to drive back for them to fix it.
It's a minor complaint, but, considering I did pay for the cheese, it would have been nice to get it. It may have just been how busy they were, but that's their job, so I took off one start for that alone. It's the only thing that wasn't perfect about the experience.
Still, once again, a great spot.
