Donahoos chicken is always consistent. No matter when you go. Whether it be everyday, every couple of months, or years like me. It’s always consistent. The chicken is made simple and fresh. Never a time you’ll be disappointed. If you ever are simply tell them and they are so sweet and kind they will def fix it. But it’s always consistent in my opinion and experience. It’s always made to order so don’t rush this experience. Wait for your chicken because you won’t be disappointed. Chicken is flavorful, moist , and overall yummy. Go on and check them out. Don’t miss out on quality chicken.

Just for pickup, but it has the best rolls, chicken, potato wedges, and macaroni salad. I haven’t tried anything else yet, and family and friends rave about them. They’re great!

In my opinion, this place serves THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN in Southern CA (if not the entire state). Their chicken are freshly fried when ordered. No waiting chickens around. The same goes with their fries which are also fresh and hand-tossed with their special spices. The salads are always cold. Don’t skip in their house cole slaw. They always greet you with a smile and respect. They truly value each customer. I have so much praise for this fried chicken joint.
PRO TIP: ALWAYS order in advance, or expect to wait.

What can i say? Well worth the drive from Temecula based on a tic tok post. Lived up to the hype. Crispy, tasty, hot and juicy chicken. Not over bearing in the seasoning of the breading either. Just right. Fire potato wedges. Mac salad is legit. Awesome service. Not a sit-down fast food spot. Order ahead and bring your appetite. Thanks guys.

The customer service is TOP NOTCH!
The food is made to order so be prepared to wait or call your order in.
I ordered a 4 piece combo. Hot & fresh. I substituted the fries for wedges and honeyyyy THE WEDGES ARE AMAZING. Made the $3.50 upcharge for them sting a bit less.
The rolls would’ve been good if they were fresh and not cold.
They recommended the Mac salad i didn’t bother opening it after taking a look at it, it didn’t look appetizing what so ever.
Overall 7.5/10. The chicken was a bit overcooked. I had to ask for a leg to be subsisted becuhs they fried it so hard there was no meat one breading.

I don’t usually do reviews and I’ve been coming here on and off for years.
That being said, today’s chicken was exceptionally good. The chicken was a nice crunchy golden brown, the meat was juicy and the fries and rolls were bomb like always.
I would have added a photo but the food was gobbled up quick like.

This place is nestle towards the back of the shopping center. First time there and greeted by the cook slash owner (maybe). The gals are busy with what looks to be phone orders. The cook kept good converse and prepping the chicken to be cooked. Ordered a 4 piece chicken because that’s why I’m here. The chicken is cooked to perfection. Golden brown with the crunch on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. I feel like it needs more seasoning but that’s just me. I like that it’s made fresh and to order. I had the wrinkle fries with a little seasoning salt with a awesome CRUNCH. Their mac salad and potato salad is very good. All the ingredients seem to flow together, no real over powering flavor. The buttered bread muffin was soft and delicious. I would come again. Staff is awesome and good food. Must try!!!

I first saw this place on TikTok and being that I have family in Ontario I knew it was just a matter of time before we would visit. Well, that time came this weekend, and let me tell you it was so worth the wait, the drive, and the money! Best/Crispiest chicken fingers I think I’ve ever had. Such a great food experience. Everything is homemade from the lemonade and iced tea to dressings and sauces to the soft buttery bread rolls. Oh, and make sure to get the Potato Wedge upgrade to your meal. Trust Me! Will be back every time I’m in town.
