I asked for mild and was given spicy.. I was visiting and already left and didn't really feel like turning back to get the... proper order so I just left it as is. I should have ordered the chicken sandwich or chicken strips but instead I orderedchicken thighs and it was a mistake. The chicken tasted very grainy something was really off. I didn't appreciate the dismissivecustomer service. I enjoyed the decor the setup inside the fries were good but the chicken was a missss for me. Read more

The food at Main Chick is great, and I'd give it five stars if that was the only consideration. I ordered online and was told... my order would be ready 15 minutes later. I actually arrived a little later than the pickup time, so my order should have beenready by the time I got there. The order hadn't even been given to the kitchen yet, for some reason. It took another 24 minutesafter I arrived for my food to be ready. And the restaurant wasn't even very busy. There was one family in line in front of me(who got their order well before I got mine, even though they ordered 20 minutes after I did) and 4 people who came in after me(who also got their orders before I did). The food was amazing, but having to rush to eat because it took more than twice aslong to prepare than advertised put a damper on it. If my order had been sent to the kitchen when I placed it instead of afterthe pickup time, this would have been a glowing review about the delicious food. Long story short: absolutely go to Main Chickif you're not on a time crunch. Otherwise... maybe not. Read more

I popped into the this venue for a quick bite after seeing a movie. My spicy chicken sandwich was good and it was also... reasonably priced. The venue was clean and they had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I?d imagine this place is great fortakeout too. The only thing they could improve would be their music playlist. They were playing the most vulgar music that was alittle obnoxious. Other than that this place was a solid choice for a bite. Read more

If you are looking for juicy, light, crispy, tender, flavorful fried chicken that packs a great heat, you have come to the right... place! Main Chick has one of the best fried chickens in this area, and I am pleasantly surprised by my order. It has all thegreatness of traditional fried chicken, but minus the excessive fat. The chicken is perfect, and spice level 4 is THE match forme (be ware, it's really hot). The seasoning on the fries is right on point, and the house sauce is perfect for the chicken andthe fries. My only suggestion is that the slider bun and the slaw is a bit underwhelming, with such a flavor packed chicken youneed a stronger slaw, either in sourness or texture. Read more

We have quite a few places in San Diego that serves fried chicken, but this is one of my favorite. They have five different... levels of spiciness, and they cook the chicken just perfectly. It is crispy on the outside, and perfectly moist and juicyinside. Read more

By far the best chicken sandwich I?ve had that lives up to their spice level and flavor. Recommend to call in your orders ahead... of time. We waited until we got there and it was a good 20-30 minutes when she told us 10-15 minutes. There were a lot of phoneorders and people coming in to pickup. Their menu is so simple with five combo choices and a few a la carte choices. Made it soeasy to order. We got combo #3 which was two chicken sandwiches with crinkle cut fries for $15. We got one sandwich mild andthe other spicy. We also got one leg quarter $4.50 in medium spice. It all came with Main Chick sauce. The orders was packedneatly in boxes. When I got home, I opened the leg quarter first and immediately, the medium spice aroma ticketed my nose.That?s how strong it was. I took a bite of the sandwich and it had the crispy crunchy texture and juicy chicken with all theamazing flavors and perfect amount of spice level. Mild had a slight kick and I could handle medium while spicy would be toomuch for me. Due to COVID19, it?s only take out and no dining in or outdoor. Not that much space so only one at a time insideat the counter. Plenty of parking spaces in this plaza. Located next to the theater and Indian restaurant. Read more
