Family recipes. Real ingredients. The best fried chicken in El Dorado Hills β made with love since 2012.
Mom & Pop Chicken Shop was born from a simple belief: that the best food comes from family recipes, quality ingredients, and a whole lot of love. What started as a dream in a home kitchen became El Dorado Hills' most beloved comfort food destination.
We hand-bread every piece, season every batch in-house, and make our sides fresh daily. No shortcuts β just the kind of cooking that makes you feel at home with every bite.
We source fresh chicken daily and make every side dish from scratch β no frozen shortcuts, ever.
You're not a number here. We know our regulars by name and treat every customer like family.
Our 11-spice dry rub blend has been in the family for generations. One taste and you'll understand the obsession.
Big portions, fair prices, and food so good you'll wonder why you ever paid more anywhere else.
"Honestly the best fried chicken I've had outside of my grandmother's kitchen. The spicy honey tenders are INSANE. We drive 20 minutes just for this place every week."
"Family meal deal feeds my crew of 5 perfectly and costs less than other places. The biscuits are so good my kids fight over them. This is our Sunday tradition now."
"Finally a chicken spot that gets it right. Crispy outside, juicy inside, seasoned perfectly. The coleslaw and mac are legit. Mom & Pop never disappoints β 5 stars every time."
"We catered our company lunch from here and everyone RAVED. Three people asked for the menu so they could come themselves. Huge hit. Will absolutely order again for the next event."
"Went for the first time after a friend's recommendation and I get the hype now. Wings in the Honey Flame sauce are something else. Friendly staff, quick service, zero complaints."
"The chicken sandwich is the best thing on the menu β fight me. Thick fillet, crispy bun, that secret sauce... I dream about it. El Dorado Hills is lucky to have this place."
We're right here in El Dorado Hills, CA β come in, eat up, and leave happy. Walk-ins always welcome.
