    Ordered the chicken and waffles, but with the syrup on the side as per my child's request. Was not a fan of the waffles they were very dense. Would not order again, but the chicken is very good and flavorful. Not much ambience to the place you order at the counter and there's a couple tables to sit and eat at the service was good and the person working the counter was very helpful. Oh and one small weird tidbit is they don't accept cash which I am not a fan of this cashless society , so that is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five!

    You want to try some delicious Nashville Hot Chicken in Pittsburgh, this is the place to get it! I've had the hot spice level before and that is no joke at all! I had to kick it back to medium spice and it still had me sweating a bit. The chicken tenders are cooked and coated with the perfect amount of spice and crispiness. When you dip that delectable chicken strip into the comeback sauce - the flavor is fantastic! The crinkle cut fries they coat with a dusting of seasoning (I ate a few fries in the picture, but they give you a good amount). I love pickles and the comeback sauce so I always order extra sauce and pickles. I have ordered the 3 and 5 piece chicken tenders and the 3 piece is more than enough for me. These chicken tenders are pretty big, so if you're hungry go with the 5 piece! I order through toast and when you do, you might as well start heading out as soon as you place your order. No lie I have received notification within 1-2 minutes that my order is ready. When I arrive and walk to the register I see my bag and it is ready to go! Whenever I am in the office in Oakland and I am craving some delicious chicken tenders, Chikn is my go-to place for Nashville hot chicken!

    I've been a big fan of their chicken sandwiches (I get the southern level as I can't take too much spice). So liked it even more when they added the chicken sandwich deluxe (with lettuce and tomato). Now I'm even more excited as they added a chicken salad. It's their chicken over romaine with chopped celery and red pepper with Caesar dressing. Very good. One nitpick would be that it doesn't need the green beans. Overall a solid salad and I was impressed with the quality of the vegetables. Will be coming back again.

    Food: Delicious chicken sandwiches, beware the spice as it is real. Service: I ordered the "damn hot" chicken and the woman working the counter warned me that it was extremely hot, which is normal to hear when you order something hot. So she let me try a nugget before ordering my sandwich... It was too hot for me, so she saved me there, thankful for her letting me try it. Ambiance: It's fine, nothing special. It was clean when I was there Overall: Pretty good. Something I will enjoy again when eating lunch in Oakland. Beware the spice levels as they are not kidding.
