30 Best Chicken Restaurants near La Mesa

“very good food...service 👍“

“Food is always on point and the people very friendly. But I wonder how important cleanliness is, it feels that everytime I go, the tables and floor are a mess. I get that a lot are disgusting and don't know how to clean after themselves, but as a restaurant, they should consider cleaning the dinning area. Hope this doesn't come off in a wrong way, but that's an important part in my opinion.“

“This place serves 85 years of proven deliciousness. It is simple. It is hearty. These days, it is even out of the ordinary. Just go. You will be glad that you did. If you are like me, you’ll remember how Mom would heat the oven to 450 degrees and place the block of ice Hungry Man pot pie in the oven for one hour till it transformed into a cauldron of molten lava. My mother would even crack open the hood of the pie and load it with an extra cup of frozen peas and carrots that would cook to perfection in the heavenly inferno of scrumptious delight, which made me the muscular hunk of love that I am today. The San Diego Chicken Pie Shop serves up a pie that is an even better recipe than the one in my memories of my dear Mom. If your are nearby, give it a try.“

“I love that food taste good fresh“

“Excellent service, amazing and delicious food. Highly recommended!“

“My favorite Nashville hot chicken sandwich and tenders!!!!!!“

“The clerk was a nice guy but not keen on the obvious. I ordered a 15 piece wing combo and he asked if that was for here or to go. Who would dine in and eat 15 wings by himself? Chuckled all the way home. Poor guy.“

“I love that food taste good fresh“

“I only ordered their seaweed rolls and cheese balls as snacks. I liked the seaweed rolls more and the soy sauce (and vinegar?) dip that came with it but enjoyed the cheese balls too. I couldn’t tell if the batter or the cheese was a tiny bit sweet, but the contrast was enjoyable with the savory seaweed rolls and the salty dip—I imagine it would be just as enjoyable (if not more) with an order of chicken. I ordered take out with Fantuan but will hope to dine in and order chicken next time! The inside is very inviting for hanging out and dining in.“

“I love their chicken wrap“

“Outstanding Service & Genuine Appreciation for Military Families

A huge thank you to the Chick-fil-A Santee team for truly taking care of their customers—and especially their military customers. The service was exceptional from start to finish, and the military discount was sincerely appreciated. It made our return home a truly special and memorable day.

Special thanks as well for the catering service, which was flawless and professionally handled. I want to personally recognize the managers who assisted us—they were attentive, respectful, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.

This location exemplifies what customer service should look like: welcoming, thoughtful, and genuinely appreciative of the community they serve. Thank you again for your kindness, professionalism, and support. We will absolutely be back“

“Excelente !!!! Rápido y muy“

“It was too busy and orders were coming out burnt (guy next to me), or in my case....cold. Fried zucchini
should come out hot. I don't think I've had that big of a problem here it's just between forgetting to put things in your bags when you're in the drive thru, things like that then of course there's the less food for more money thing. Try the times when they're not busy. I mean the food is good it's just inconsistent.“

“the grilled breakfast sandwich & Cobb salad wit & Arnold Palmer is delicious 😋“

“Delicious food for a great price! Very clean, friendly, professional service.“

“Great food and even better atmosphere and service today. This location had the sandwich and got them out in a timely manner!! Will definitely be back. 👍🏽💪🏽“

“Drive thru for the famous chicken sandwich. Long wait, excellent sandwich. Lots of crunch and good flavors, but not salty. And the pickles, whoa. Finally got my chicken sandwich after 2 weeks of trying. Long lines that backed up into streets, even freeways, getting there hours too early. That’s a great sandwich.“

“This food is good here but i wont stand rudeness this girl that works here she is being rude to the homeless nice young btw you guys need to fire her if i was the manager I would of fire her not ok behavior I’ll make sure I’ll be reporting this to hr good luck see u guys in court“

“Never a dull moment here! Came by tonight for the goods and while ordering my dog thought we were at Starbucks and kept barkinf qith excitement! Lol! Thanks to the staff for understanding and being amazing!! Keep up the great work as always!! We will be back!“

“Excelente servicio y la comida maravillosa“

“Nice quiet kfc fastfood in Bonita. The service is fast, place is clean, and staffs are somewhat friendly. I ordered what used to be a $5 fillup is now almost $6, still reasonable for two pieces of chicken, side, biscuit, chocolate chip cookie, and a regular drink. Some of the benches need to be replaced, but overall, very comfortable with the dining environment. Hidden away in a non busy area of bonita.“

“Muy sabroso y muy amables“

“Nice meal , I enjoyed it .“

“I have not gone to this specific location prior to today. They are doing something correct, people in line understood the process of ordering and waiting outside due to the size of this location. Food was tasty solid B. The service was good B three cashier was letting everyone know the times of specific menu items. I felt that was helpful for your situation.“

“mac and cheese. beans and rice. mash potatoes.“

“Stopped by this location at 2nd Street in El cajon one evening for dinner and my order was messed up only to return the next day and receive a complete new dinner and apology by Karen. Make sure and ask for everything you want, including condiments because California has restricted them on giving them out automatically!! Have always loved Kentucky fried Chicken and will continue to love them excellent food, excellent prices, and incredible customer service. The colonel is only one of two fast foods I will consider to eat because it is such high quality and definitely healthier than most fast food. Thank you and we will see you soon!“

“Exceptional service and great food! The price was a bit higher (+20%) than I'd have liked, but this is CA so it makes sense. With the extra cost I am thrilled that 10/10 service was included. Will be back- my son loved the nuggets and fries.“

“My favorite mall eveer, I looove to shop and eat here!! I come here since I was a kid 🫰🏻“

“Some of the best fried chicken I've had in a long time! Their honey butter biscuits are simply the bomb! The tenders were good and nice sized. The only thing we had a problem with was the fries. A little more work on the fries and I'm 5 starring it.“
