Best Nashville hot chicken I’ve had in Arizona. I was looking for a quick lunch on the go and stumbled across this amazing little place. It’s located in one of these take out only ghost kitchen joints so that was a little bit confusing, but my order was decently fast, brought to my car piping hot and I’m still thinking about how good it was. The 2 slider meal was more then I could eat. The chicken was so spicy and crunchy, and the sweet soft bread and slaw was the perfect combination of flavors and textures. I can’t wait to eat here again!

Food is great, but…. Last time we waited a long time (about 1 hr), but figured it was a rough day for the kitchen. The food was really good, so we decided to order again today. We even ordered expecting a long wait time. Writing this from the lobby, almost 2 hours after we ordered and 1 hour after doordash said our food would be ready. I’m a server and understand how hectic this business can be, but this is unacceptable! We have concluded it is not worth it to wait 2 hours for a chicken sandwich and it’s disappointing because the food we had last time was great. Not sure why it’s such a long wait time but it’s just insane. Will edit with how long we actually end up waiting!Edit- We waited exactly 2 hours for our food and when we got it we realized it had been sitting because it was very cold. Changing my 2 star review to 1 because now the food won’t even be good. Possibly the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. I will be contacting someone soon.

The best chicken sandwich in town.You heard me right, folks. I’ve been a fan of Crazi’s for a few years now and they have consistently remained my top choice. I actually use Crazi’s as the standard when I’m trying other chicken sandwiches and comparing!Their menu is simple, thought they’ve expanded a bit over the years, but their food is supreme. I often think less is more when it comes to choices at restaurants as long as the food is done right, and that is certainly the case here.One big thing to note, their chicken is HOT! They have 6 heat levels and they all definitely err on the hotter side, so be warned, but man is good. If you like heat, this is the place for you, and I do like me some heat. The Desert level is their plain option if that’s how you prefer to roll.In conclusion, Crazi’s is a titan in the hot chicken sandwich realm, despite being a small pop-up restaurant. I’m rooting for every bit of success for this gem and can’t wait to see how they continue developing.

This slider right here takes the cake. I made a mistake though…I ordered two. You only need one and a side. this thing is big. The flavors are so there. Crazi’s hot is better than most if not all the hot chicken spots I have had when it comes to the flavors and execution.Flawless:- Sweet bun that holds it all together without falling apart.-Tender and juicy chicken.- the pickles are the perfect size in the perfect brine and snap- The seasoning is amazing- The slaw is unique but goes perfect with the tendersEverything is spot on. I have tried lots of other places and this one is it for sure.

I placed a huge order of 2 whitecastle travel boxes. 10 minutes later the fluffy delicious box of goodies arrived. Thank you for the quick service as well as the polite and friendly staff. 10/10 will be back soon!

This is easily the best chicken sandwich spot in AZ! The chicken was so juicy and flavorful! Their ranch is so good and you can tell it’s homemade.. also the fried pickles omg so good! It’s very rare when I write reviews but I couldn’t get over how good this was so I had to write one! People you’re missing out if you haven’t been here before!

The best, juiciest Nashville Hot Chicken in Phoenix. Tried the chicken from Crazies last week and this place is legit. No more Canes for me. My only complaint is that you're not closer to my home in Central Phx, or I'd be eating at Crazies 3 to 4 times a week. Love u guys!

Really Good Hot Chicken! It’s pretty close to Hattie B’s in Nashville! The Hot level is really spicy though so beware. The fries were ok.

Very excited to see more hot chicken in the valley. Crazis knocked it out of the park. Great flavor. It's inside a good court which was interesting, lots of great looking food from other places but I was craving hot chicken.

Seriously delicious hot chicken - I'd argue it was better than Hattie B's in downtown Nashville. We got the Hot flavor and it made my boyfriend cry, but it was soooo good! But yeah, beware of that. I think Kinda Crazy is just about perfect. So happy we found this gem!
