The Kickin’ Chicken

This is the 3rd Monday in a row I have stopped into Kickin’ Chicken because of how great the service and food is. The manager, Cara, has gone out of her way to make me jalapeño ranch from scratch every Monday because it is not on the menu and it’s one of the reasons I keep coming in. I usually put it on my salad, but I got the smash burger this Monday and dipped the burger in the jalapeño ranch and wow. James was my server the first two times I was here and he went above and beyond, I did not get the name of young lady that served me today, but she was just as amazing. The food is always hot and the portions are above what you would typically see. You all gained my business! Keep up the great work!

Food was plenty, good prices and great atmosphere. Drinks were flowing. Our hostess did a great job.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated right away. Our server promptly came over to take both our drink and food orders since we were ready to order. I chose the Buffalo Chicken Dip, and my husband went with the “Johnny” Chicken Sandwich with tater tots. The dip was seasoned perfectly full of flavor! However, I would have preferred a thicker consistency. There was also a slight metallic taste, possibly from the dish it was baked in or maybe the oven. I’d rate the dip a 7 out of 10. Now let me tell you when we go back, I’m definitely getting the “Johnny” with tater tots! I tasted a bite of my husband’s sandwich, and it was superb! Just the right balance of chicken, cheese, and BBQ sauce, all toasted to perfection. My taste buds were doing a happy dance! The tater tots were crisp and delicious, especially when dipped in their ranch dressing which, by the way, is the best ranch I’ve ever tasted. Ever! The sweet tea was good as well, though I did notice the tea to-go didn’t quite taste the same as the dine-in version. Overall good place for a bite to eat!!

It was Saturday and a big game was on. It was very cold and we set outside. Heaters overhead kept us war but made some very hot. I was perfect. It was packed inside and out. They got us a table pretty quickly. We waited about 30 minutes for server to get to us to take our order. I knew it would be a while as it was packed. (Plus there was 9 of us). My only thing was it took over 1 1/2 hrs to get food. It was really busy but we had young children so they don't really understand. I think when it gets that busy someone should start advising the tables about the delay. The food was good. Seemed like everyone at our table was pleased.

We always enjoy coming here. It's located nicely in Summerville. The Buffalo wings are very good. The salads are huge. And the Bobbie fries always tasty
