Despite all of the delays we’ve been reporting, it’s now official — Chicken Guy! will finally open at 25769 Sierra Center Blvd., on the north side of S.R. 56 (across from the Tampa Premium Outlets) tomorrow — Tuesday, January 7, at 10 a.m.
The Neighborhood News was able to attend the Friends & Family event at the new “Cypress Creek” location of Chicken Guy! earlier today and we sampled quite a bit of the menu. My favorite items were the BLAT (Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado & Tomato) sandwich, the mac & cheese side dish and the hand-spun Oreo milkshake. Charmaine loved the pepperoni chicken parm sandwich (with garlic parmesan sauce) and the seasoned French fries, while Jannah’s favorites were the chopped chicken Caesar salad (with grilled, instead of fried, chicken tenders) and house-made Caesar dressing and the chopped cheese & chicken eggrolls. In other words, we each already have a lot of favorites to come back for and enjoy again.
Everything at Chicken Guy! definitely tasted fresh and we appreciate that not everything on the menu is fried — and that it isn’t automatically spicy. The recipes “from the Mayor of Flavortown” himself, Food Network star and restaurateur Guy Fieri, aka “The Boss of Sauce,” features more than a dozen different sauces, so definitely feel free to try them all and pick your own favorite(s).
Although the online ordering system likely won’t be up until the Lutz/Wesley Chapel location opens tomorrow, visit ChickenGuy.com for more information and please tell Trevor, the general manager, that the Neighborhood News sent you!
