I always come to this spot. I absolutely love everything on the menu, from the chicken strips to the wings and everything else. You wont be disappointed with how flavorful this chicken is. I highly recommend it and i might say its my favorite spot. Really nice portions and the chicken always comes out hot and tasteful.

Chicken & Waffles3 Tenders The chicken is super 🔥 . Well seasoned and crispy just perfect. I'm a definite food fried chicken critic and they are the best spot in So. OC..

Ordered burn baby burn on 4 Tenders for +$1, and hot for the Half Coward, but they weren't even covered in any spicy oil at all, like none whatsoever. Plus they were so stale and not fresh, not crispy. The CRIMSON FRIES portion was skimpy compared to what I usually get (box 3/4 full), and also overcooked. Was totally shocked by the low quality here because the Downey location does everything right! Will not be ordering from Lake Forest again. Do better!!!

Mild has no spice at all, its basically a regular chicken tender. so if you want something similar to a Dave's mild, probably should get the medium here. we asked for extra seasoning on the fries and it came with basically no seasoning at all. flavorless and soggy. make sure to order them well done if you really want to try CRIMSON FRIES. Mac and Cheese was really good, best I have had from a hot chicken place. Kinda reminded me of the flavor of the kraft box from when we were kids. Otherwise, kinda diasspointing dinner.
