I went there yesterday and I really liked it. That bring said, I'm from the UK and we don't have quite the variety of fried chicken chains as the US. Still, I really liked the teriyaki and chipotle ranch sauces I had.

Chik-fla WAS the best, in the 80's/90's. Before they branched out of the south. Zaxbys is the best!!!!

Food may not be good but they are still putting drinks in plastic cups with plastic lids and plastic straws. Guess Chicken Guy didn't get the memo on banning plastic straws.

Turns out booby igor is all ready to close this down, and build something new in its spot...

Pretty much the same here this morning (Saturday) with a family of five. I thought the sandwich was a little tastier than the tenders and, in a pinch, I'd eat there again. My youngest (18) was having none of it. He's a chicken tenders connoisseur and proclaimed them "awful". The sauces we had were okay, The life sized pic of Guy holding a chicken made me smile -- it was the perfect amount of tacky. I was a bit surprised that it wasn't busier at 11:45.

Tried it Wednesday night. About $50 for a family of 4. Not the best I've ever had...but not the worst. Cooke's will run you about the same as will Polite Pig, Deluxe and several others. You're not going to a place called "Chicken Guy" for a Michelin quality meal. But if you're looking for some tenders with hot sauce. It works. That being said....chicken tenders at Splitsville are just as good.

At the beyonce concert a 4 piece chicken tenders and fries was 12. Bottled water was 5. It was delicious and filling.

I mostly agree, although this seems to be a great deal for an onsite offering in comparison to the other places you can get chicken type of fast food onsite. I think that is a very valid comparison. Marie

You can't bring cost into this-comparing the cost of a combo at Chick-Fil-A to the same type of combo at a restaurant on Disney property is like comparing apples to oranges. Almost every entertainment venue-arenas, stadiums, amusement parks, theme parks-will have a higher cost for a particular dish than a stand alone restaurant that is not part of the type of venues I just mentioned. The quality of the food would be a valid point, but the cost isn't, IMO.

Same here. Maybe it is just me, but having all of this gimmicky stuff (sauce slingers, cruncified burgers, food on fire, etc) just takes away from the food. Now some gimmicks work, because the food is secondary to the gimmick - nobody goes to Medieval Times because they have a hankering for rotisserie chicken and a toaster pastry, they go for the show. In a place like Chicken Guy, nobody goes because they want to see a sauce slinger, they go for the food. Just knock off the gimmicks and concentrate on a clean, well lit, efficient restaurant with good food.
