Crimson Coward - Garden Grove

Absolutely delicious! So glad I tried this place out. The chicken is fried fresh and the flavor to spice ratio is spot on. The fries are delicious as well. The staff is friendly and helpful and the place is nice and clean. 10/10 will come here again!

Been here 3ish times now and each time has been consistent of food quality and care. The owner has been in the last couple times and even though this has 5-6 locations across the US it feels as if this is his only store and his baby. He cares for everyone coming and wants to acknowledge you by name and wants to make sure you're having good food. The food is Halal and he's proud of it, it honors his culture and it honestly makes this place so unique to me across so many hot chicken places now, it makes me always want to come back.The food quality is so good, and it might seem pricey at a glance as opposed to canes or something but the food is so good. The chicken is always juicy and tender, good portions of food to me! The price is extremely fair for what you're getting. (Also something stupid for me to notice but they keep this place HELLA clean. You can see where they cook and do a lot of prep and it's immaculate. The eating area is always clean.)

Almost died eating their spiciest option, and went to the toilet a new man. 10/10 would eat again!

Amazing

Absolutely delicious!!The Crimson sandwich was huge. I had to share it with my wife and I hate sharing! Lol. Chicken was juicy and flavor ful. The tenders were so big my 15year old teenager couldn't finish the combo. The Joey fries were a great shareable for the 3 of us. Moisés and CJ defenitely work some magic. They even gave us a complimentary portion of Mac N cheese which was awesome. Overall this is the best hot chicken sandwich I've had in OC. Top notch

Amazing customer service, extremely clean, welcoming greeting. Music is perfect level. The Mac and cheese is firrrrreeeee! So creamy and original. I got the home style combo! Portioning is a hook up! Mohammad is so kind ! Thank you !

Amazing customer service and even more amazing food!!

Amazing chicken!!!!! Finally one in garden grove freshly made you have to wait at least 10 minutes but is worth it!! The batter is thin and crunchy!! Not like canes or Popeyes nasty and salty and there Crimson sauce is so good delicious!!! A bit pricey but what the hell everything is now at days!! I rather get this than a burger that's going to cost you the same price!!

Always drove by, finally got to try, like other Nashville style chickens, the thing they had to combat is between the flavor of the dry rub while avoiding the dryness that comes with it. If you know Dave's hot chicken, they tend to mess that up pretty often. The coward did a good job of keeping the chicken not so crazy seasoned that I would choke on the flavor. The slaw and pickles work on the sandwich but I think the pickles would be better on the side, for the fact that these were a little more soggy dispite being crinkle cut. The onion is a nice twist from what you are used to with fries, it offers a unique taste and complements the sauce very well. I will say the mac and cheese is really good and I will most likely be coming back to just buy that. Everything on the menu taste classic and is exactly what you would expect, however the service is great and it feels like a local business instead of a franchised establishment. Recommend trying the onion if you're looking for something new, if you like chicken I'd rank this above Dave's, right under jaybirds

5 Stars! Customer service was excellent! Went here on our lunch break and staff was very friendly, I'm assuming he's the owner. As we were eating our meal he brought us some Mac n cheese to try. How awesome is that? Not only was he extremely nice and friendly, but the chicken was delicious!! The right amount of spice, tender and juicy. Mac n cheese was pretty good too. I will definitely be coming back!
