Rancho's Chicken - Rancho Cucagmonga

MAN O' MAN! we found this place by accident last summer! We were at Solorio Brewing in Rancho Cucamonga, looking for dinner. We found and ordered ranchos chicken over the phone for pick up and the rest is history! It's seriously so fresh and delicious. Every time we order the spicy chicken sandwich and fries, they are fried fresh! The owner owns a couple of different restaurants but doesn't be deterred by the variety, these chicken sandwiches top any I have ever eaten!!!!! It's a fat and juicy piece of chicken in the sandwich every time! and the fries are crinkle cut and super crispy (even when we order to go). The best addition to the meal is their secret sauce! I pour it on each bite of the sandwich and use it as a dip for the fries. This place literally tops any other chicken place around. Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of this deliciousness but will update when I do because you really have to see it!

Was referred to Rancho's by a friend and decided to stop by for dinner on a Saturday. Was kind of confused Bec they also serve poke? Like there's 2 restaurants in 1. But anyway I ordered a Nashville hot chicken sandwich with fries, bf ordered southern fish and chips. Hot chicken sandwich chicken was pretty juicy and super spicy and i like the roll that they use (potato roll? Not sure). Kind of wished I could taste the Coleslaw and pickles more though, like it needed more sweetness to cut the heat a little. Or maybe it needed some kind of mayo based sauce (or more of it? Cuz I didn't really taste it if there was any). Not sure, but something was missing so i had to dock a star. They got the spice down for sure tho. And the seasoning for the crinkle cut fries was pretty tasty. Southern fish and chips breading was similar to the chicken, even without the Nashville seasoning it had a kick to it. Was skeptical Bec I was imagining the classic beer battered fish and chips but pleasantly surprised. The piece of cod that they used was generous and flaky. Overall ok experience, not sure I would get the Nashville chicken again but I might be down to try their chicken tenders that they have on special on Tuesday's if I was in the area.

I appreciate how kind the staff was. It's a shame how the food was not good tho. I didn't enjoy the chicken. I also felt the price was unreasonable for the amount that I got. I ordered 10 pieces, half sweet chili and half garlic parmesan. the sweet chili, I expected it to be sweet and spicy, the flavor wasn't there for me. the chicken tasted dry. I won't be coming back. sorry. also if anyone wanted to know, Off The Hook Poke is still in there.

The food is amazing. A hidden gem. We will definitely be coming back. You are missing out.

I have come here a few times and the food has always been good. I found I am pretty addicted to the Buffalo Loaded Fries. Everyone is really nice and now that my face is familiar(lol) they pretty much know what I'm ordering. The owner is super personable and that's a plus...
