Kiki's Chicken Place - Galt, California

The first time here, the food was awesome. I honestly loved it more than Canes or chick-fil-a. we got the Mix family meal for $39.99, which comes with 8 piece chicken tenders, 8 piece chicken wings, and 3 sides plus all the souces and dips on the side I would say it was enough to feed up to 4 persons we had enough left over I will definitely be back plus the girls who helped me out where very friendly as well.

Kiki’s is a yummy little spot. The food is made fresh to order and is fully customizable. It isn’t too greasy. We had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Wings and Kiki’s Fries— and all of them had good flavor. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We were given complimentary fountain drinks as a thank you for trying them! To me, this is a place that I would rather order ahead and take to go. Overall, if you’re in the mood for chicken, this is a good place to try!

I don’t know why all the reviews are so high… I guess we Galt natives are desperate for some good chicken, but Krispy Krunchy delivers the same quality and KFC is probably somehow cheaper than here. I too really wanted this place to be good, but it just wasn’t.

Kiki’s is hidden in the corner of the C st Savemart/CVS plaza where Wholey Ravioli stood for a long time, replaced briefly by Flames, and now Kiki’s. The big billboard sign still advertises Wholey Ravioli ironically enough. The windows are insanely tinted, so when we first walked up we thought it was closed. The open sign was on, but when we looked in it looked like no one was there. After some shuffling around and scratching our heads, we tried the door, which opened, and then brushed off the embarrassment of realizing the (potential?) owner of the store was standing there behind the counter watching us.
The menu was two massive TV screens but it didn’t seem like they really had much to offer outside of tenders and sandwiches, fries, tater tots, and waffles.

The man behind the counter more or less conducted a verbal survey as we looked at the menu. Questions like,
“Why did you choose this place?”
“Were you able to find it easily?”
“Have you been here before?”
“Are you from town?”
etc.

I get it. New businesses don’t really profit, and he wants to understand how to better set his business’ trajectory towards profiting sooner rather than later, but dude, at least let us take a breath before you start on the questions. He didn’t have the demeanor and delivery of a curious person who wants to provide Galt with some good food. It was very business-like and straightforward, juxtaposed by him wearing crew member clothes and a hairnet. He even mentioned his plans for expanding beyond Galt should this location do well. I shook it off, and we ordered:
The kiki’s fries, chicken and waffles, and a 4 piece tenders with tater tots. It didn’t take long to receive our food. Not that I really care. I’ve been in foodservice. Stuff happens. I digress, inexplicably, the owner/surveyor/cashier guy took inspiration from pizzerias that show you your pies and showed us our meals… without wearing gloves… or washing his hands after I just watched him use his phone and dink around with all sorts of things behind the counter. And he got real close to touching our food.

The chicken itself sucked. It was the mouthfeel of chicken that’s been under a heat lamp for far too long. Dry, stringy, and had the toughness of jerky. Kind of lame for a place that is literally only serving chicken with a variety of sides to go with the chicken.

The tater tots had potential, but whoever was in the kitchen massively over fried them, causing them to be greasy husks of crunchy breading with little to no satisfying tater tot insides…

The waffles were probably fine. I didn’t ask, and my brother didn’t tell. He really wanted this place to be good, so at first he said he enjoyed it. Upon trying the other tenders and tots he revealed that his food was just as sad and that he just wanted it to be good since it was technically a meal he chose for his birthday.

Fortunately, for me personally, the kiki’s fries were okay- but I mean how can you make french fries, cheese, and chicken, smothered in sauce, taste bad? I could tell the quality of the ingredients in my dish were as subpar as my brother’s and boyfriend’s, but I was starving and ranch fixes everything in my opinion.

All in all it put me back $45. 6 tenders, more shoddy tater tots than necessary, some soggy, greasy fries, and a waffle. $45. I wasn’t going to say anything, until I just checked my credit card bill and saw that I was charged upwards of $52… but hey, he gave us 2 free sodas since it was our first time there. Lol. Do my boy Kishore a favor and hit up Krispy Krunchy chicken instead. They’ll treat you right.

Phenomenal service I genuinely enjoyed the food. It was really good. I have been to Kiki’s before in the past and I was a little worried when I saw one in Stockton that it would not be the same. It was honestly better. Food was delicious. Wait times were very fast and customer service was great.

One of my favorite places to eat! First time @ the Galt, CA location. The service is always great and they take the time to make your food fresh and to make sure they got your order correct. Thank you! I would be so happy if they get a location in Lodi,Ca😉

Our family went into Kiki's for the first time this evening. We started ordering, and the staff had great suggestions on family meals that got us everything we wanted. The prices were great as well. We tried the garlic parmesan, spicy sweet chili, bbq, and the teriyaki. All were great flavors, and the wings were large, hot, and crispy. We also had the garlic shoestring fries and they were great. The service was great, and we will be back. Thank you, Kiki's.

Fantastic food and service during soft opening. Fry portions are huge in combos, enough for a 2 or 3 to share.

Very friendly service, chicken sandwich was a regular chicken sandwich, nothing spectacular but not baf
