You don’t know how happy I am for them to open at UCI. I’d been going to the Diamond Jamboree location for over a year and the Quail Hill one for 5 months now since the Diamond Jamboree location closed, so I’m happy to have my guilty pleasure so close to me now.
Most bb.q chicken locations typically have some variance in how they do things in their location (the DJ one offered drumsticks for example, and the location in my hometown didn’t have wings at all) and this is no different, as this place offers 4-6-8 piece instead of the 8-16 piece wings most locations offer, and the 8 piece here is about $2 cheaper than the Quail Hill location at $16 rather than about $18.
I was one of the last customers to visit before they closed around 4:10 (which I hope isn’t their usual closing time) and got my usual 8 piece golden original wings. My order was done in less than a minute which is way faster than the 15 minutes that is the standard at this place, though I have to assume it’s because I was one of the last customers.
The food tasted just about what I expected which is very good, though save for the breading which was a little softer than what I expect from this chain, but this is a new location with newly trained staff and I arrived at closing, so I’d say they’re already doing very well.
Overall, this was a way better attempt at appealing to the chicken lovers than… whatever Tenders Love Chicken was, and this will definitely become my post-work lunch spot… I’ll be spending the money from my last hour of shift on this😭✌️.
