I had the wonderful experience this weekend of trying out Chick and Hawk in Leucadia, CA. I was staying on the beach at my cousin’s spot in Neptune and was pleasantly surprised by how close it was walking to it! That’s a good thing too because this spot is small and the parking lot accommodates for its size ( it’s tiny) I was greeted both times by the mgr, Martha who in addition to having incredible hospitality skills, also has a bad ass taste in music, having curated a hell of a playlist for this spot! I was pleasantly surprised by the reggae/ ska/ SoCal surf skate tunes. So upon being seated I met Maddie my waitress who was also so sweet and accommodating I asked what she liked there and she recommended the Seabird Fish sandwich. Boy was I glad I listed to her. This was the absolute be

Was really excited to see this place finally open ! Amazing food and cocktails. I really thought this was the best chicken sandwich I ever had. This place has such a trendy fun vibe and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. If you walk into the main dining room you can see into the kitchen and see the Chef working the expo which is actually pretty cool "backstage" vibes. I'm really looking forward to coming back and trying the fish sandwich and was surprised to see caviar on the menu. Seems very fun and laid back while being upscale. For those wondering, it is a full service restaurant, which I was pleasantly surprised by. There is large Asian/Japanese influence as well which is pretty rad. I tried the Cheep Skate Lager and it is an amazing pairing with the chicken sandwich. Lot of fu

I had read a few reviews prior to coming out and yes, the flavors in the chicken sandwich are as intense as many say. It's done well. The chicken itself was juicy and tender, though there was a spot where the chicken was rubbery and pink. Thankfully, I didn't get sick. The pickles were also top notch. Would highly recommend.

It is a great place, they had a promo, me and my friend had a promo which was 14$ plus 2$ with fries, I enjoyed it and the food was delicious, but I will say that the Birdman sandwich is quite pricey, $18 which another friend had, it seems she was concerned that her sandwich was undercooked, I checked it out but didn’t seemed to be pink and hopefully doesn’t get sick. There was a little wait time but nothing exaggerated. The staff was really nice and helpful, and the inside is cool as well. Would I come back? I would just so I can try that Birdman sandwich with a 900 spicy level, and get a beer. Cool place but not too crazy. So I couldn’t wait to try the Birdman Sandwich so I decided to go the next day. I have to say it was pretty good, it is a big sandwich so I got totally full, and got

Went to the soft opening of Chick & Hawk today. They have an impressive spicy chicken sandwich & a unique atmosphere (the sando has serious heat). The sandwich is a large, gourmet style sandwich and it is priced accordingly. Great service for a soft launch. Cool spot. Just beware that parking is rather tight with only a few spots available in their lot and the lot dead ends behind the restaurant.
