I ordered online before and likes the chicken. Decided to come in one day to get some chicken and the staff was hoorible, talking loud with no regard to customers being in the store. I asked for the family meal and the girl at the counter said "you want tenders" and i said no the chicken. She looked at me like it was a problem and said well it's going to take 20 minutes to cook.... But with "tude." Just walked out, horrible customer service.

I was very excited to be able to eat at Chester’s when I saw the food it looked delicious but when I took a bite of the chicken and potato wedges I regretted buying food from this place. I knew it was over the moment I heard my stomach grumble. I later sat on the toilet for more than an hour, a deadly experience I do not recommend coming here.

Been wanting to come for past few months and finally had a chance to 1:20pm 11/29/2021 and was disappointed that when I jumped in my car and started to drive away , potato wedges and chicken tenders were kinda cold , really disappointed in the wedges believe it or not because there suppose to be hot and crispy but instead were cold and slightly soggy . Got home and put in microwave but again very disappointed. . Also the # 1 combo with 1 side order and 1 biscuit and super small drink was 11.98$ and I left $1 tip so for cold food I paid $13 . I was better eating $5 pizza from 711 .

Surprisingly? Chester's Chicken compares easily with establishments of similar fare. But I think distinguishes itself by offering; fresh made sandwiches; hot, hearty and savory foot-longs; u will probably not find anywhere else! And their Ice Cream is; as good in quality; as anything u might find at the Thrifty Ice Cream counter. I like it!:^)

Great food n fast

I wen to pick up an order and the staff was very disorganized. They made me wait 40 minutes for my order.

The food tasted like it hated me, so i ate with vengeance. Also a tender combo does not come with a sauce. You must buy it separately and it came expired. But the wedges were delicious!

As a former Trucker I got to put this out there at Various Truck stops across America this place is Notoriously Good so when I seen this one is now the closest to LA beside Barstow or the Norcal ones ,,, this Chicken (Breast Pieces) at this one is always undercooked it has a wet moist taste always that is Nothing like the Fellow Chesters everywhere ,,, the staff is Very polite and attentive but that Scenario AINT gonna make the chicken taste better ,,, hopefully cooperate professionals panel of Experts go in and get it Rite,,,

Chester's chicken is...... a must have! Tenderness and crispy, with a savory flavor to every bite. I have had the chicken tenders 10 pc. For $10 mac n' cheese, and 2 fried corn on the cobb. I can clearly say that it has become one of my favorite places for fried chicken. If popeys, kfc, and churches went out of business, meh.... but I truly hope Chester's is here to stay. The ONLY thing I did not like was the coleslaw. It had too much mayonnaise, but that is probably a preference thing. The girls working there are not only attentive, but polite, and professional in the food industry. Very clean work areas and I felt safe taking food to accommodate my family during this recent pandemic situation. As long as this place remains open i can say I will be there at least every other week to try something new. (I would like to try the gizzards) .Thank you Chester's chicken. Im also glad you have thrifty Ice cream and can make my dinner AND dessert!

Nice lil' setup for sure. Place is very clean ALL the time. Owner always in there telling people hello. That's how you know he cares about his business. He works the front line with his team. Food is fresh because that fryer always rolling! I know this because I pick up deliveries there all the time. I'm a customer too. Thank you!
