Chicken Guy! is a fantastic fast-casual restaurant in Town Center section of Disney Springs. Located along the outer curve of Planet Hollywood, this quick service sensation occupies its own space in the building where Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri has designed the menus for both. While reviews are often mixed on Planet Hollywood, this little chicken spot is fast becoming a popular fast dining destination.
Step inside the door at Chicken Guy! and you'll find yourself heading right into the queue. Because of this, it's not uncommon to find a secondary queue being managed outside of the restaurant on the walkway too. Like I said, Chicken Guy! is becoming wildly popular so embrace the wait. Once you do make it in the doors, the interior is filled with vibrant graffiti style artwork that features a very cool looking chicken, and a life-size cutout of Chef Guy himself. You'll never miss a photo-op.
Take your time while waiting in queue to peruse the menu and collaborate with others in your party to decide who will be ordering what. There are some really fun option you can go for such as the Big Bite B.L.A.T., Mexican Street Corn Salad, and Loaded Fries or Loaded Mac-n-Cheese. After you place you order at the register you will be given a buzzer. When your buzzer goes off your chicken is ready to be picked up at the serving counter.
There is a surprising amount of seating inside of Chicken Guy!, or you can opt to sit out on the patio beneath a shade umbrella. I opted to sit inside at the window counter so that I could plug in and charge up my phone while I ate. Oodles of charging outlets are available there.
The menu at Chicken Guy! focuses on chicken tenders, either fried (in pressure fryer) or grilled. That humble finger food gets elevated in each of the menu items including sandwiches, and salads that take you on a real trip to flavor town. I hadn't originally planned on making a stop at this restaurant, but I was walking by and felt like I could use a snack that didn't include a ton of sugar. A Chicken Tenders Kids Meal turned out to be the perfect power-up for me.
You can't forget the sauce menu, because Chicken Guy! has 22 different house made sauces that range from sweet to spicy and cover everything in between. These sauces are pretty special all on their own, fresh bright flavors make each one sing with its own special spices.
Look at this chicken, it's beautiful. Whole pieces of all-natural chicken breast are brined in fresh lemon juice, pickle brine and buttermilk, then infused with fresh herbs. They are hand pounded, and hand breaded in a special crisp crumb every single day. Honestly, these are probably the best chicken tenders I've ever had in my life.
You can tell just by looking into your sauce container what you're in for, because you'll see all the bits of ingredients swimming together for some serious yum.
Oh hey - you can totally sign up for "The Sauce Squad" before heading down to Disney and enjoy some special perks. Aside from being kept up to date you'll get two free sauces (some restrictions apply) at every visit to Chicken Guy!
Trust me - you can always use more of this amazing sauce.
I will absolutely be taking my family back to Chicken Guy! on our next trip. I'm excited to get a bigger taste of everything that's offered. Want a deeper break-down of what's on the menu?
