Huckleberry's Famous Sandwich

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 recommended.

While yes, the broasted chicken is amazing here, my personal favorite is their italian combo sandwiches. From the fresh ingredients to the soft and perfectly flaky bread, the sandwiches here and so much better than Lees Sandwiches, theres a reason why Huckleberrys has been around since the 70s and featured in the papers! The atmosphere is so welcoming and they are always so grateful for your business. In all the years Ive been coming here, they have not made a single mistake with any of my orders and always make my phone orders expeditiously. The portions are also immense too. I promise you wont regret coming here.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp that leads right to the door.

My first time and the broasted chicken was absolutely delicious! Im usually very thirsty after eating fried chicken but not at all thirsty after eating their amazing chicken. The potatoes were great too and I will definitely go back there soon!
