Burger was Awesome!!!! The fried chicken sandwich almost had tears running down my face. I did order it hot. This place is substantially better than any drive-thru burger joint. Only ordered once, but I think it's a definitive "Must Order". Plus, they deliver late.

2 Chicken Sliders & Fries were uncharacteristically disappointing, overcooked, and dry. The Half Coward was delicious and tender; Medium strikes a nice balance of heat, but go for Hot if you enjoy a little burn. We tried the Crimson Onion for the first time and were pleasantly surprised, it was delicious! Amazing portion size, texture, and flavor, although they were on the salty side.

🔥For a frame of reference, I love spicy food soooo much. I've eaten loads of challenge spicy foods like Hot Ones sauces and the One Chip. This sh*t hit different and it was delicious! It's actually was way hotter than I was expecting but exactly as hot as was hoping. The heat adds a ton to the profile of the chicken, which the chicken itself was cooked perfectly 👌
Now, I wouldn't say this was the hottest I've ever had for sure, but it was certainly very spicy. When I mentioned earlier that it's hotter than expected, that's because there are so many places that serve food that they claim is extremely hot but never deliver on that. I expected that to be the case at Crimson Coward, despite the restaurant's name. I was pleasantly surprised.
Despite this not being the hottest food I've ever eaten (and it makes no claim to be the hottest), it did legitimately kick my ass, had me reaching for the peanut butter (trust me it helps) and regretting the brief brush of my nose. Vry vry good🔥

This is my new fav for chicken tenders!!! Use to frequent the red & white joint, but this knocks it out of the park!!! Love the crisp & the flavor choices. The hot is truly HOT!! Nothing a lil ranch can't counter. Yum!!
