Chick’s 500 degrees

Greeted the second you walk into the door, the man who took our order was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He asked a few questions to gauge our heat tolerance and made some recommendations. I planned to get 300 degrees for heat and he recommended only 200 degrees because it was cayenne pepper instead of ghost pepper and I'm so glad I did. It would have been too hot otherwise. The fries I think are beer battered and seasoned and veeeeery good!My husband and I both had left overs and it was just as good the next day! I have no idea what the two sauces are but both are great too!Highly recommend!Chicken is also very fresh and moist. Some places use premade chicken strips and inside it looks like a sponge because it's so processed, but not this place. The chicken is real meat and from the quality you know it's fresh!

First time trying this location. This was originally a food truck and was just launching in 2021 when we stopped our food truck, so I've always been curious to try them out.We tried the 3 piece meal and the sandwich today. Prices are pretty decent for the big tenders. The chicken tenders are the size of chicken breast! The chicken was good, it was big, juicy, and seasoned up pretty well. They offer a Nashville sauce which is like a spicy mayo, which was good, and also jalapeños cream sauce. It looked tasty but didn't really taste like much. The ranch I was not a fan of, not sure if it's house made or store bought but tasted store bought. Overall it was good, nothing really stood out to me or gave me a wow factor.

A quick trip to sac we landed at this chicken joint. Yes it's halal and similar to Davis hot chicken. Place is super hip and clean, staff were friendly and helpful in helping pick the heat level. Explained each order as we were a big group. Food came pretty fast and fresh had to give it a moment to let the steam to calm down. Great place will stop by for a quick bite on the go.

500 degrees? I bet one of them must be a PhD in hot chicken sandwich making!It's no secret that Sacramento really likes their hot chicken sandwich places... or is it the other way around? I've always said someone must've done studies or surveys on the people of Sac because why is there a new chicken sandwich business opening up seemingly every other month? Like for a period of time it was almost at Dutch Bros level's of grand openings.However, the opening of Chick's 500 degrees is different. Different like they actually care about what they're serving and the customer experience. While they certainly didn't invent the 2 slider with a side of fries combo, I'd go so far as to say they get pretty dang close to perfecting it. At a price point even lower than their competitors, their execution of the hot chicken sandwich is packed with flavor and spice all without being overly oily and greasy. That extends to their fries as well which manage to keep a nice crispy exterior while still giving a satisfying bite.It's challenging setting yourself apart in an already saturated hot chicken sandwich market, but it's safe to say, Chick's 500 degrees is definitely heating things up and rising to the occasion - 1 degree at a time.

Love this place! We were really sad to see Burgerim go out but it's been great to have Chick's come in and provide a great product. Their sandwiches are delicious and they use good ingredients and very clearly care about what they're making and the business they're running. Aside from the food being great, the customer service is absolute above par. They're great people, funny, and sincere. They're very thankful for the business and it shows in how they interact with every customer individually. I'm happy to have Chick's in our neighborhood and look forward to supporting them whenever I can!

Tried out chicks 500 yesterday. I too was skeptical. Another Nashville chicken joint? There's like 400 others in the Sacramento area. But decided to stop by and try. Honest thoughts:The chicken is very tender. It's not just one lump of dried chicken. It's soft and tender. The batter isn't overly thickJalapeño ranch - this was pretty good. Fries - it has a nice crunch. But it has no seasoning. Tender cheese wrap - definitely need to get higher heat on this I. Think I got the medium? The cheese was a bit overpowering. But all in all this was good and different from other places. So in all honesty. Is it good? Yea. Is it that much different? Not really. If this came out first. I would've raved about it. But by now. There's so many chicken places that it just doesn't stand out too much. Is it better than most? Totally. Way better than Dave's. I like it more than most places. It's just I'm tired of Nashville chicken at this point. Just a little too late to the game. But if you're in the area. Do check it out

This is really good- my son would love it... I like being able to set the heat as desired... the meals like Mac and cheese with chicken and fries with chicken are large enough to share ... one trip we ordered both the Mac and cheese and two sliders (which are large - Not your typical slider size.) we ended up eating the Mac and cheese and took the sliders home for dinner... when we ate them later that day they still tasted perfect... nothing soggy or wilted... just delicious and 5 hours later... the buns are great and hold up well without being messy... we got level 200 which gives noticeable heat but not too hot to enjoy... service is great... very friendly staff... I'll take pic next time

We came here for the soft opening last night. It was busy, but not too crowded nor too long of a wait. They had 3-4 TVs playing basketball...2 of them playing the Kings game, so that made me a happy camper. They also have cute decor and animated Christmas themed art.I decided to order the #2 - 2 "sliders" and fries. Thank goodness the bf heard me order and asked if they were actually sliders or regular size sandwiches - the worker said they are regular size...so me and bf were able to split the meal ($16.99). I ordered one of "Our fave" medium heat level and then one step above - a little spicier. They were tolerable, but the spicier one did get me off guard on a couple bites.Also got some ranch on the side (free) which was jalapeno ranch and they also included their chicken sauce.Son got the #1 sandwich and chicken tender - both with no heat with fries and 2 chicken sauces included.We thought all the food was pretty good and would return. Only feedback we have is to add extra free pickle(s) on the side (or at least offer to the customer) and also the chick sauce was a little bland. Good luck to the business and thanks for the great dinner last night :)

Chick's 500 Degrees was great! The chicken sandwich was delicious, the place was super clean, and the service was amazing . Definitely worth a visit!

Great customer service Very clean Food is fresh I got 2 sliders with fries and a drink loved it all.
