Had the traditional fried chicken and ut was crispy, hot and juicy. They have spicy honey and that is so awesome in the hot chicken. You can also or ice cream from Milk Man at the same register. My son said that the sundae was heaven.

Must go place, trendy, young but provides diversity. Sign up online to go in the secret Tiki Bar or play arcade and pinball upstairs with a beer and live dj.

From the creators of The Packing House in Anaheim, McFadden Public Market is a hip new food hall geared towards the late night with beer, cocktails, and fried chicken.

Ever since Casual Encounters Live Band Karaoke has been at this venue, a group of us singers attend every Tuesday night from 7:30-10:30. Now that Munchies Vegan Diner is open, there is even more reason to go! Great music, delicious food, and even an arcade and full bar upstairs. There also are other food options, and they are good too. As a vegan, Munchies is my personal favorite.

The fries were not that fresh but the atmosphere was great! The arcade upstairs is very affordable, almost all of the games cost less than a dollar! The bartenders were also very friendly and entertaining to watch.
