Chick Next Door

Was visiting a friend in Glendale and randomly stumbled into this place. The food was amazing. I had the slider and fries combo. The chicken slider was the perfect level of spice and fried to perfection. The fries were also seasoned and the perfect level of crunch. The service was friendly and fast as well. If you're looking for a fried chicken fix,this is definitely a go to!

Incredible food... their mac n cheese is one of the best in LA!! The chicken sandwiches and loaded fries with their secret sauce is also delicious. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. Worth the visit!!!

Ordered take out here for the first time, love being able to order takeout from their website (cheaper than ordering pickup via Grubhub, ubereats, etc), everything tasted pretty great! The chicken slider I had with medium spiciness was perfection. The fries are great, the sauce is outstanding. The Mac n cheese was good but could use some seasoning. Overall, great experience, staff was friendly and food was great. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

First time coming here. The chicken was crispy, with a nice, rippling batter. Ordered the "hot" and it was pretty mild by my standards. The brioche bun was laughably small for the tender, but it does its job. Might be nice to have more slaw and pickles on the side next time. Loved the crispy, seasoned fries. The side sauce is decent. I didn't have any expectations other than another place I've tried and it was less sweet than the other place. I also tried the mac'n'cheese, which was delicious, if not a bit too soupy. Not sure if that varies by batch. Dipped my fries in it 😎. Definitely coming back!

Great place for a fried chicken sandwich. I always take it to go, but there is outside (covered) seating if you want to eat there. Their menu is posted on the main window, which is really convenient, but I would REALLY like to be able to see the cashier - they have to stoop to see out, making it awkward for both of us.

I've had Dave's Hot Chicken which is also in Glendale, and I feel like that had a more complex set of peppers to it's flavor profile, but I found this spot to have a very pleasing and flavorful chicken sandwich that is not quite as spicy, definitely not as peppery, but enjoyable to eat. I would totally recommend this place and I love the two slider combo because it's easy to share without feeling too guilty about eating huge chicken sandwiches plus fries. Definitely coming here again!

First time getting food here. Chicken was good. The tender was big and juicy. I got the hot flavor, it wasn't as hot as I thought it was going to be but overall flavor was good. Might go for extra hot next time. Slider was good as well. Fries were good, I just wish I had some sauce to go with them. Vanilla churro was good. Overall, the food was good, will definitely be back.

First time … recommend 100% had the supreme fries… all good

Halloween night, we were hungry on the wat back and decided to try this spot for the first time. At first impression the menu is simple but the photos show really good looking chicken sandwiches so we gave it a shot. Around 13 min. after ordering and we were presented with 2 delicious chicken sliders and crispy seasoned fries. You spend around 15-18$ with a combo and a drink, but the portions are very generous and even the pickles seem home-made. Everything about this place screams good- quality I ingredients. Definitely a must if you like chicken sandwiches and chicken tenders!

Got the #1 Slider & Fries (extra hot) & Steve's fries (Hot). The CRUNCH. It was juicy inside & had the best crunch of all the chicken I've had. Seasoning was good & came with a tiny bun. Extra hot wasn't that intense if you're used to spicy food. Fries were crispy & tasty. Sauce is ok, didn't like it too much but the food was good without it (not sure what seasoning it was I didn't like). Steve's Fries were yummy & fun to eat; had nice flavor with soft Mac & cheese. Staff was ok. It's a cute small place located on the corner with about 10 tables outside in a bright yellow cute area. No bathroom or inside area. Prices are fair for the portions. The parking lot is pretty tiny, but there's parking available on the street too. I definitely going back for that crunch.

We had a good experience doing a weekday evening pickup here, very quick! The chicken is flavorful and good, the sliders are really big! One of those with fries was good enough! The sauce was very tasty too along with the pickles and slaw. We enjoyed the vanilla cream churro and thought it was cool they have those on the menu! We ordered the toppings for a slider on the side and we didn’t get them at all though- so I hope they can be careful next time in delivering accurate customized orders. The patio looked clean and comfy, we look forward to trying it out again!

Wow, I mean WOW. The chicken was too delicious. This is my new favorite Chicken sandwich joint in Glendale. The prices are very fair especially with the enormous amount of food you get. The staff are very friendly and awesome.

Plenty of street parking and the service was great and quick! I got the mini Steve’s fries with medium heat and they were delicious. Definitely would recommend sticking with the mini instead of the full size (unless you’re getting it for 2-3 people), I still had to bring some home it was so filling. Would recommend to anyone in the area!

Absolutely to-die-for. Nothing but chicken, but the chicken is perfection. Perfectly breaded, perfectly seasoned, and perfectly fried. Sides and sauces are fantastic, service is quick, and the dining area has amazing outdoor vibes. DO NOT MISS.

Food was amazing.. loved the resturent theme and the chill vibe. Had an great time taking sselfies with friends. Nomatter the time of day, a quick bite at this store is all we needed during our stay at this location. The spice comes in different level. To enjoy the 'don't chicken out', you may have to sign a waver lol i tried pretty much all level of spices and my most favourite is the spicies level 😁

I remember coming to chick next door before when it was called trap chicken. Have to say that I like the improvement in chicken quality and taste from trap chicken (although trap was a bit spicier). Chicken sliders are great and a 5/5. Fries are not very good with 2/5. For live reviews, visit “Doctored Reviews” on YouTube

Everything here is wonderful ! The guys are great and they all make the food e.catty the same as the other guy which is awesome because it’s so good and definitely the sliders are the way to go ! Get it hot and put some honey on top and bam so good

You don’t really get a “service” more you order thru a window and they hand you the order. Attitudes just need to be adjust towards customers. But food is all great. With the money.

My first time visiting the LA area, and this place was reccomended to me. The food is very good! I will definitely be back here again when I visit the area in the future!

Food was delicious and service was nice but it was a little dirty and old looking, a bit rusty. Still very good!

my go to when Im craving chicken. Crispy chicken and best sauce in the game. Admittedly their buns are not great, they're very small and recently have started tasting like chemicals. not a problem for me since I always get Steve's fries now.

There’s always a CHICKEN WITH A GREAT LOVE STORY. Let’s begin this review. Chick Next Door was born out of love in the neighborhood. It was inspired by a man’s own love story of serendipitously meeting his next door neighbor who ultimately became his lovely wife and partner in hosting intimate dinner parties, and viola a go-to chicken joint in your neighborhood emerged: gourmet chicken tenders, hot chicken sliders, and fries. Chick Next Door is a new chicken joint that was founded in 2020 and they’re located in Glendale. I was feeling adventurous for a late night dinner and end up on this chicken joint. Their food and drink list were not that extensive albeit expected since it’s a chicken fast food joint. I ordered Combo 2: two chicken sliders and french fries and pink lemonade. You can adjust the level of chicken’s hotness; I opted for mild. The two sliders and fries were fresh, warm, tender, crispy and juicy. The tiny chicken sliders have a unique interesting flavor but not substantial enough to say the least. As for the Lemonade, it was refreshing and cold. Service was mildly slow. Prices were fair. Staff was attentive, competent and professional. Indoor and outdoor seats are available. They have a great background music (kaskade etc.) while you eat your crispy chicken sandwich. In this great review, it’s time to end our little chick review. Overall, I had an average experience and food/drink. I had better chicken sandwich (e.g., Chicken Day) and bun. I’d still recommend this joint.

Update: On the last visit it seems they have changed up how they make the fries. The new version is much much worse, thicker and more mushy. Kinda ruined the whole meal. Food here is pretty good. Chicken was done right. The heat levels were on point and even the "hot" was a perfect balance of heat and flavor (note: too many of the "hot chicken" places try to kill you with the heat to prove a point but it's so unnecessary and I find that some that do so it's because their chicken is weak without the fire... But not this place!). Tenders are nice and large and the sliders were the right size. Got the two slider combo but honestly a one slider and fires would have been more than enough. Only down note is that the music in the dine in area is always way too loud. And a note on pickup orders: Recently they tend to get backed up at odd hours so don't trust that pickup time they give you.

Chicken tenders were overly fried. Medium spice was not at all spicy, so for those who want to taste something you might want to try a higher spice level. Fries were good tho.

I’ve been eating at this place since it opened and it replaced the hamburger joint at the corner. The sandwiches were tasty when it was side chick and then reopened as chick next door. There were some quality control issues - over cooked/burnt fried chicken and other times crispy and perfect. I try to frequent this place 2-3x a month. This is my second time in a row where the chicken has been burnt, I see the oil in the fryer needs replacement as it’s jet black and the sandwiches got smaller and have a smaller tender inside. With the price going up, I’m better off going to shake shack. At least my chicken is not burnt

Another spicy but very average chicken spot, not sure if it was just this location, Chicken was tender and juicy, however flavour is lacking something, fries had an ok flavour but seemed as if they had been sitting under a hot lamp for some time before being served, definitely was not fresh. Overall: would not recommend.

I ordered for dash. I got combo 3, the 2 tenders and fries, one was adequate size and the other was tiny, dry and shriveled. I ordered them “hot” and I couldn’t taste any spice on them. Disappointed. Will not patron the establishment again.

Food's pretty good but they almost never answer their phone. Super annoying.

I Was really looking forward to try this hot chicken, but was sadly disappointed. I'm hoping that it was just not a good day for them but , unfortunately I'm left with a bad impression, that would rather not go back. I was the only one at the window, was greeted nicely, I ordered 3 tenders with side of slaw, and was up sold to a fresh lemonade totaled $20.. the man at the window said it would be 7 min , and again I was the only one there.. 15 min later went up.to the window , found the man arguing on a personal call, hadnt started my order by the way, and signed with his hand it would be a bit longer, he handed me my lemonade to appease me , quickly fried the chicken,and packed it in the to go box, I went back to work across the street at the hospital.. when I returned I found two and a half tenders soaked in oil and not seasoned not even to the heat level I was asked for when I had given my order.. so lunch ended up being a tiny cup of refrigerated slaw and what was left of my lemonade ..🤷 I don't usually leave bad reviews . But this was my experience ...there are plenty of hot chicken places around that provide great service.. Cluck and blaze is pretty excellent near this area ..

Nothing “jumbo” about these tenders. 60% breading and 40% dry, tasteless meat. Charging $5 per tender should be a crime. If they want to survive in LA, they have to beat out the competition on value or taste. They do nether. Added a star for the presentation and aesthetic

Small portions, high prices, not worth it. 1x Caulipoppers ($11.24) 1x Supreme Fries ($28.72) (price of fries plus 1 tender) 1x Cheese Fries ($9.36) 1x Churros ($4.99) First off, “Churros” is misleading and only gives you 1 for $5. It does not say that in the description or the name, but it does designate multiple and allows you to choose multiple flavors. Expect only one though wrapped tightly, fresh, hot. Supreme Fries were about the size an order of In N Out style fries. We ordered an extra tender but it seemed like they didn’t add it, but we were definitely charged for it. Portion is small, flavor is lacking. We chose medium and it tasted naked. A handful of chopped pickles thrown in and a dash of ranch. Cheese Fries are similar to animal style fries. It’s American cheese melted with some sort of sauce and chives. It’s not melty sauce, it’s like In N Out where the cheese hardens when it gets cold. It arrived hard like plastic, even though the site is 5 minutes away. Caulipoppers were the highlight. Very good, hot, good breading. The portion is for 10 pieces but only half of them were decent size. The other half were as small as tater tots. This runs for $11.24. Altogether minus any discounts via Postmates, this runs for ~$70. For how small the portions are and the quality of the food, I’d highly consider not eating here or finding a place of better value. Especially since its delivery, they up charge as well. Added wait times based on past physical restaurant visit: for a table and for food. Wait times were extremely long and food took a very long time.

Came around 8:45pm, no one was there to take our order. We waiting for someone to come to the window for about 5 minutes. This place used to be amazing but the service is always mid, the quality of the food has gone down too. They used to have Cajun fries and now they’re regular shoe string fries. Prices are still the same or higher tho!

Waited almost 30 minutes, didn’t seem busy at all. The chicken wasn’t the least bit spicy. We only got medium, but still. Some of the fries at the bottom were ice cold in the middle and the mac and cheese was more cheese sauce than noodle. Serious disappointment considering the other reviews we read :(

Worst customer service I've ever experienced. Went up to the window and said "Hello , how you doing?" And the cashier just mad dogged me and said nothing. Once again I said "How's it going?" And the man responded with "You ready?" And the same unfriendly glare. At this point I walked away because I don't spend my hard earned money at places that can't show basic respect and common courtesy. He proceeded to follow me out the back as I walked away and tell me "I wasted his time" and another worker from the back came out and suggested I " go to McDonalds" unbelievable. I've been to Chick Next Door many times as I've lived in the neighborhood many years. Long before you were around. I've never written a review before but after that experience someone needs to know what kind of employees they got working there on a Saturday morning Spent plenty of money there over the years. But never again. And I'm telling all my friends and family to avoid this place. Learn some respect and learn how to interact with people. It ain't my fault you're miserable

This place is 5 minutes away from my home, and I never wanna go again. The guy at the register was literally on his phone, scrolling through tiktok, while punching in my order. Didn't even try to hide it, he was straight up looking at his phone, scrolling videos between hitting buttons. I tried to ignore it but he was giving me one word answers to everything and asked "That's it?" after everything I said, maybe 6 times before I was like dude, no, and he got the hint to put his phone down and take the rest of my order. I'm 99% more sympathetic to retail workers than most but jesus christ, what an embarrasing employee. Food was so unremarkable, I already had doubts about going here after seeing the prices online but it was just insult to injury for the food to be bad. Sliders were super tiny even though they cost like $10 each, their generic sauce is worse than every other one on the market, they charge you for extra sauce and those pathetic little honey packets, and the chicken had no spice (ordered medium heat) and was just super oily and bland. Fries were okay. Just go to Dave's or CFA, there's nothing about this place that sets them apart. At least when I pay crazy prices at other places I can enjoy the food. They used to have a really good watermelon lemonade that I would come here just to get, but since they swapped it out for a mediocre strawberry one, there's genuinely no reason to come here over any other chicken joint

Having to wait 20+ minutes for two sliders and fries on an empty night is criminal. At least if things tasted good it would be justified, but sadly that is not the case. Worker tried to make an argument that it took so long because fhe chicken is "fresh" but it surely did not taste like it. Taste of chicken was OK, complete slider was put together very sloppy. Fries were mediocre. I don't see why anybody would come here when there are way better chicken locations in Glendale.

Edited: I said to give them another try. Maybe things got better. I ordered 2 combo and 2 tender miled. I received extra hot 1 slider,no fries , 2 extra hot tender. I will post the new pictures with receipts Edited: Check your order when you pick your food , I ordered combo #2, and when I got home, it was combo #1 . I paid for 2, and I got 1 lolll 🤣 I called them, and of course, the attitude was so high from them. No solution as always .

It’s baffling that this business doesn’t have a reliable phone system. Try calling to place an order, the phone doesn’t even ring. I’m leaving this review so management becomes aware of the issue and fixes it. I’ll gladly remove this review once the phone system is working properly.

They were a vendor at a festival and were selling 4 strips and fries for $25, the food was super gross and stale and not worth that money whatsoever. I’d never come here or eat from them again. What a rip off.

Chicken just as bad. Bad service, overprice .some people like it. But to greasy. Try it but their better places. Over advertise. Hope you like it.
