Located across the parking lot of the Farmer's Market pyramid on Gothard Street (near the intersection of Gothard and Edinger in Huntington Beach), this is a small, family-owned restaurant specializing in sandwiches (hot and cold) and broasted chicken (a special cooking process combining pressure-frying and traditional shallow frying, to produce juicy fried chicken with a crispy outer layer). The chicken is VERY GOOD: crispy on the outside, juicy and very tasty on the inside. It's not as greasy as conventional deep-fried chicken, and therefore it's much easier on your stomach. You can get the chicken in combos (2-piece, 3-piece, 5-piece etc.), with or without sides (you get to pick 2) and a fountain drink. Or you can simply order as many pieces as you like a la carte. The potatoes were excellent: you get huge chunks (basically 2 per potato) that are crispy on the outside but soft as baked potatoes on the inside. Great idea, I loved it! We also tried one of their hot sandwiches, specifically the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. The sandwich is 9" long, good size for a whole meal, and still a good size to share if you're also eating something else. Maybe it's not as out-of-the-world fantastic as John's Philly Grille (which I consider by far the best Philly Cheesesteak in Orange Co.), but it's not that far off. It's pretty simple: thinly-sliced ribeye steak, provolone cheese, onions, and mushrooms. Pretty much the original recipe, except maybe for the mushrooms (a concession to West Coast taste, maybe? Personally, I love mushrooms in a Philly Cheesesteak!) The service was excellent. The wait was about 15 minutes from order, which is very reasonable (if the food is too fast, chances are it's not that good...) Highly...

With a steady stream of regular customers, I recommend calling in your order ..as they do not rush the process of making there delicious fried chicken. I never mind the wait, because I know the end result will be worth it. Again nothing fancy just some of the best fried chicken you'll eat.
Of course they have lots of other goodies on the menu...but the fried chicken is the cornerstone here. That being said they also serve sandwiches, which are also a local favorite. No one complains here..it's all good. if you're getting it to go, Carol the owner Will leave the lid on the container a little open on purpose...she told me to leave it that way...once I didn't listen and the chicken was a little softer. So listen to Carol to truly enjoy their delicious...
ย ย ย Read moreI found out about this place on yelp, we had an appointment in the area so we gave it a shot cause of the rating of there chicken, well we were really happy with taste, service (the cashier was friendly & funny), quantity & quality were good, now that said we were informed prior there would be a 15 min wait we were ok with that, it came out juicy, hot & with big potatoes halved with a spice sprinkled on them, very tasty we also had a small side of macaroni salad which was ๐ for my taste, a little sweet but ๐. Now THIS 5 star rating was for there chicken uc we live 30mi away but were in the area for appointment & we will return 2 Huckleberry when we go back. It is a hole in the wall, small place but it's handicap friendly, clean (including bathroom) but dated (I use walking aids) & as I said cashier was ๐ & attentive, so give this place a try if ur a broasted chicken fan, prices are reasonable & fair. The 3pc was $7.99 I believe but the pieces were full size not small chintzy pcs like...
