Discover bb.q Chicken: A Unique Fast Casual Experience

I typically shy away from posting about franchises, but every now and then there’s a fun one that pops up that I think deserves some attention.

bb.q Chicken opened a little while ago at 3490 S State St. What was initially a fast casual model (order at the counter) has pivoted to a sit down model for this Korean fried chicken shop. Interesting choice, given the current trends that are going the opposite direction. In fact, many fast-casuals are setting up order touch screens to save on staffing even more.

The Ddeok Bokki was a fun, spicy dish composed of rice cakes and shrimp cakes doused in a slightly sweet and fairly spicy sauce. I really enjoyed it.

Of course the star is the fried chicken. Some of the most shatteringly crisp chicken I’ve had, yet it still maintained its juiciness. The “Secret Sauce” was a fun flavor. Next time I’m there I look forward to trying the Gang Jeong.

I think bb.q Chicken is definitely worth a spot on your “need to try” list. Give it a shot and tell me what you think.
