Warning: you may become addicted to this creatively-inspired menu including fried and grilled chicken sandwiches , house-made toppings, extensive craft beer selection and fun, outdoor ambiance. ????
Loved the deviled eggs ! They were super cold filled high and topped with crunchy bits. Biscuits with the sweet butter was delicious as was the spicy chicken sandwich
Awesome new addition to the neighborhood ! Outdoor seating is dog and kid friendly , and 3 TVs at the bar + bomb fried chicken will make this my new hungover Sunday football go-to. Two thumbs up!
The firebird was AMAZING! The fruit slaw was surprisingly delicious & refreshing!! Drink menu was impressive. I'll definitely be back to try something new, or maybe I'll just get the firebird again :)
The fried chicken sandwiches are great! I loved my Senor Croque and I had a bite of the Firebird which was good too. Fries were not my favorite. They were kind of salty for my taste.
We've been waiting to try this place- parking is difficult Very popular and busy. Fried chicken was OK, and cannot understand why it is ranked #1 in SD. Salads were great, the fries outstanding
5 pc chicken is a good amount for two people (maybe get an appetizer ?) breading is super flavorful!
Chicken based menu, Mexican Poutine is a must. Fried chicken was so tasty.
The Bloody Mary was one of the spiciest mixes I've ever had and I enjoy spicy food . Don't get it. The coop deville was phenomenal and the environment outside is cool
Get the firebird sandwich ???? and for the sides go for the Schmaltz Fried fries and the chicken oysters ????????????????
This was our furst time here and it wasnt the greatest experience. Cali dip was heavy on avocado and light on chicken . They were also diced which can be difficult with a dipped sandwich .
Truly delicious fried chicken . As fresh & clean as fried chicken can get! The mini biscuits were to-die-for!!!
Free range chicken is the biz! A bit steep ($15 for 5 pcs) but totally worth it.
A local favorite, Chef Richard Blais does not disappoint with premium fried chicken available in sandwich form. If you like spicy , try the firebird with some of the homemade sauces .
Honest-to-goodness one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. I loved that it wasn’t overly sloppy and they used a quality bun and onions .
The Coop Deville, the deviled eggs , the Schmaltz fries . That's your drinking combination! Biscuits if you're the early enough and need a breakfast bite
The most chicken for your money is buying the 5 or 10 piece. 5 piece is enough for 2 people. Maybe get an appetizer too. Very flavorful and tender.
Great fried chicken down’t come cheap and neither do the beers , but this place is deliciously fun!
Wifey and I got the firebird and fries . It was good but not to die for. Fries are double fried. She liked them and I did not.
Chicken 's (Juicy) and all the sides are excellent. Try the "Border Slaw "
The full menu is available for order at the bar . You can skip the long lines and order food and drink directly at the bar .
Love their seasoned fried chicken and butter biscuits ! So good and yummy
Everything is amazing but I definitely suggest the Baja Chop Salad with pollo Asado and classic slaw .
We all got a chicken sandwich and wished we ordered just the delicious chicken ! The sides are huge so share.
Fantastic casual place to spend time with friends and family. Never fails.
Firebird is a must have!
Just get the chicken oysters
Amazing fried chicken & the border slaw was refreshing!
Damn good. Biscuits with miso maple butter , chicken lollipop , thunderbird, and Mexican poutine .
Can’t go wrong with fried chicken sandwiches . Fries were just ok though
Chopped salad and chicken oysters with mustard sauce were very good!!
Best fried chicken I've had in SoCal.
Damn, these happy hour sliders may be small but they’re delicious!
Little pricey but the fries and fried chicken sandwiches here are delicious
Skin makes the whole thing work. G bird is a healthy options . Fries are delicious
I just tried cocktail and it was good)
Fried chicken , mini biscuits and deviled eggs for the win!
Everything!!
The Senor Croque was butter dripping delicious
Great concept, very busy with locals
One of the best fried chicken I've ever had!
I was skeptical. Food is legit. Service could use some refinement.
Try the Mexican poutine !
Firebird and Mexican poutine fries .
Good food, great for large groups
Everything
Senor croquette !
I don’t know how its rate is 9!!!! The service is zero, and the french fries is so dirty ! It’s taste oil rather than potato ! Also; the drinks machine doesn’t work well ! Coca cola’s taste is water!!!
Good Chicken but Not Great. Crispy coatings but over flavored with paprika .

Summer Solstice from Intelligencia roasters was available as a cold brew on nitro tap. Bright and prominent fruit tones of peach and green apple in the mouth collide with a light body of peanut. - Kevin Pratt
Their chicken was good and fresh! The best wings! Crunchy, crispy, sticky, sweet, hot and juicy. The sauce on the Thai Chili a spicier and house-made sweet chili sauce. - Demi Johnson
Try the rootbeer float awesome with the double-double mustard grilled pattie - Kyle Klesper
Ceviche has yams and peruvian purple potatoes! Awesome! Must try - Sarah McQn
