“ I was on my way home after a hike in the palisades and my friend said he knew a chicken place nearby we should go to, so we went to reddi chick. For starters this place has so many options from seafood to just your standard chicken. Me and my friends all got the chicken tenders basket which comes with 4 tenders, fries, and some barbecue sauce. We also got ranch and ketchup on the side as well. This chicken is some of the best Ive ever had. The breading is perfectly crispy and crunchy, while the chicken cutlet itself is just thin enough that it isnt too hot and gets a crunch in every bite. The chicken pieces are also spectacularly long and large, so you really feel like youre getting a good amount of food. The fries were insane. Cooked perfectly and not overly crispy but not soggy kept me stuffing my face with them. Everything about the meal was absolutely fantastic. The service was quick, easy, and kind. The servers were quick to get me a water cup and my extra sauces. The only thing to be aware of is that they take cash only, so come prepared. ”
“ ok, this is a wellseasoned, delicious bird. extra generous on the fries. fried zukes and tater salad are very good, too! first time here, and will be back! ”
“ I have been eating at Reddi Chick for going on 50 years. I recently moved from the area and miss Reddi Chick so much! I like the Teriyaki Steak Sandwich which contrary to the name has always been BBQ, not teriyaki. I also love the rotisserie chicken cooked on that vertical wall of flames. The ribs are good, but these are rotisserie cooked ribs, not smoked, and are different than what some might expect when they think of BBQ ribs. I think they are excellent. Most everything else is good too, notably the fries. I always ask for my fries welldone, they are way better when crispy. This place is unchanged in the 50 years I have been going because they always had things right. This is demonstrated by the line of people waiting to order on any nice day. If people on the westside are lucky, they will still be unchanged 50 years from now. Bring your cash, thats all they take also unchanged, and I like it that way. ”
“ Been coming here since I was a kid and have loved it the whole time, especially those seasoned fries!! Old school family spot in Brentwood is definitely on my must hit list anytime I return to town. ”
“ This place is fantastic. It has been here for as long as I can remember. My father has been coming here since he was a teenager and he has been taking me here since I was a kid. They have amazing bbq baskets with rotisserie ribs or chicken, Chicken tender baskets, fried seafood baskets or bbq chicken sandwiches. The bbq sauce is house made and amazing, and the seasoning on the fries is to die for. Sometimes the line can get a little long but trust me, it is well worth the wait for this Los Angeles staple! ”
“ Reddi Chick is good chicken for a good price. Food is quick and never disappoints. Staff always friendly and fries are fire ”
“ Ive been eating here since I was a kid and now Im 25 years old and they still have the best fries around. Ive never fought a day in my life but Id probably be willing to get into a fist fight with someone else over the last order of french fries if it ever came down to that. The kind of french fries you finish in your car if you didnt finish them on the walk from the shop to the car. One of the few spots over at the Brentwood Country Mart thats survived for over a decade, and theres a reason why. ”
“ Reddi chick is a great spot in the Brentwood country mart. Most importantly remember to bring cash as they are cash only. My favorite is the fish sandwich with a side of coleslaw but you cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Staff is so nice food comes out quick! ”
