Chicken Shops near La Mesa, CA

“very good food...service 👍“

“very clean how they handle the food, no flies in the tea or flying around inside the food areas. unlike the other El Pollo Loco in Lemon Grove poor cleanliness.“

“I’m just going to say it: the Sweet Country Blues Sandwich at Rise Southern Biscuits in El Cajon is the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had.

A sweet blueberry biscuit, savory sausage, American cheese and a fried egg. That combination sounds simple, but it is ridiculously good. The blueberry biscuit is sweet, buttery and soft, and that sweetness against the salty sausage, melted cheese and fried egg is absolutely perfect.

This is one of those rare things you order that halfway through eating it, you’re already thinking about when you can come back and get another one.

My advice? Skip everything else on the menu and get this. Don’t overthink it. Get the Sweet Country Blues Sandwich and you’ll thank me later.“

“Best fried chicken and fried shrimp! if your here you must try“

“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.“

“Visiting family from the East Coast and my daughter took me here today. I was stationed in Daegu South Korea for 2 years while in the Army. we used to get bb.q chicken almost every weekend. The kids loved it and so did I. This was my first time having it in 8 years and it immediately brought me back to being in Daegu. The food was amazing and brought us right back to being there. I highly recommend you check them out, you won't regret it!“

“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.“

“EN ESPECIAL QUIERO DEJAR MI REVIEW DE 10⭐️ A LA SEÑORA ESTHER QUE UN PERONA MUY AMABLE Y SIEMPRE TUVO UNA RESPUESTA A MIS DUDAS SOBRE LA COMIDA, ES UNA SEÑORA MUY JOVIAL Y SONRIENTE Y MUY AMABLE 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽“

“Husband found Melt on Instagram and wanted to try it. So we took the tram from Old Town just to eat early dinner there. Very good. I got the basic grilled cheese (forgot the exact name) and my husband had the Mac Daddy. We were both incredibly happy about our choices. Tried a piece of Mac and cheese from my husband's sandwich and it was incredible. Kinda wanted a whole bowl of just the Mac and cheese. Would definitely eat here again.“

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

“This was my family's time first trying out this place and I've got to say the chicken has a unique crisp to it and is very flavorful and it's one of my favorite.

The wings I've had in a very very long time everyone loved him including my kids and the non spicy options were great for them we got the secret sauce as well as the Galbi wings.“

“My husband who has celiac disease loved it!! The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. This is the best fried chicken we’ve had since my husband was diagnosed. Unfortunately the sauces aren’t gf so we didn’t try those. The restaurant was very clean and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back!“

“This place has impressed me. The food is incredible and the atmosphere is very good. I really enjoyed eating at this location. Everyone is also very kind and very patient. But the person I really want to thank was Samara. She really treated me well and helped me a lot. She is a great manager. She was very patient with me I loved it Of course, I will return again to continue trying new things on the menu.“

“It’s now one of my sons favorite places“

“I ordered something a specific way and it was not what i received, upon stating so to the person that took my order i received what i felt like said- i was putting them out for a shredded chicken instead of chopped. I shut my mouth and sat and ate and about half way through my meal she brought over the original ask. I now dont think she was being rude as much as i dont think she really understood my language and ask., either way the only thing worth remembering is that one human tried to make it right by another human. That experience was worth it. Theres always a lesson in our occurrences, we all need some grace,“

“Great food, loved the chicken I had. Had the hottest of their offerings and loved it. Just a perfect amount of spice and loaded with flavor for me. Jalepano hot I would call it. Staff was friendly and helpful. Luch special was affordable and delicious. Loved the sides that came with the special. Food was ready quickly. I'll be back.“

“Very impressed! After speaking with the proprietor for the very first time, I knew at that moment that I had found what I had been looking for.
Not all of us who claim that we can cook should actually be in the kitchen preparing food for others.
However this woman is the exception.
The ingredients, the flavor, the taste , and the freshness is right on the money and worth every dime.However there is one main ingredient that most people leave out of their cooking which leaves a bitter taste in everything they cook. You cannot cook or prepare food without this ingredient if you want to be successful.
That ingredient is PASSION. You can taste this woman's passion in every forkful. Her menu is varried and no easy task. From the chitlins to her Shrimp pancit, to them kickin greens. CLARA'S KITCHEN is no joke!!!“

“El mejor pollo del mundo Pollo Loco, siempre rico“

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

“la calidad de sus ingredientes su forma de preparar el marinado a sus tiempos el estilo de pure sus salsa de la casa y sobre todo su atencion.saludos equipo hector mayra y carlos“

“Excelente !!!! Rápido y muy“

“I love their chicken wrap“

“There was a long line and Evan was the only one in register, there were more people in the back and they were doing nothing but staring and laughing at him. There was a white, short girl with glasses that was literally just standing there and not getting in register to help. The food was great and despite being in a rush, he was great to us. When we got our food in our table I tried giving the short, white girl with glasses our tray because I didn’t need it and she tried telling me to keep it or to put it away myself instead of just doing her job. Evan was great“

“excelente agencion a los compensates. precios economicos muy amables“

“Gas station Chicken. WTH? Unless you are an OTR driver or a teenager this is not the choice to make.
Hold up, pause.
Let's regroup. THIS is Amazing Chicken. OMFG this is the best tasting bird in San Diego. Why did you put it in a gas station?
Holy hell. I'm gonna be a regular.“

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

“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. 👍🏽💪🏽“

“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.“

“came with my family to eat during lunch time everything was hot and fresh. Fast Service clean restaurant friendly team and what can I say about the kitchen team Serving hot food thanks“

“Tasty fast food courteous staff“

“Great Mexican food... 🤡 WHOOP WHOOP“

“Excelente servicio y la comida maravillosa“

“Muy sabroso y muy amables“

“Food tasted great and not too salty. But the finding the Barrio Logan Bird-N-Run was confusing. The building has no name of the business outside so I had to circle the neighborhood twice.“

“The Best Grilled Chicken !!!“

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

“I’m loving the wings here. I was not too impressed initially ( 2 years ago) and decided to give it a second try and I’m glad I did! The wings were super juicy and adequately seasoned, the bread was freshly baked and fluffy. I recognized that more people are here as well. Nicely done.“

“I ordered through the app and waited at the numbered slot in the parking lot and my food was ready maybe 4 minutes after I parked! So quick. I didn't get his name, but a man who seemed to be a manager dressed in the Chick Fil A business casual uniform greeted me, repeated my order to me and asked me if there was anything else I needed and he also recommended I try the chicken and waffle sandwich on my next visit. Loved his energy and professionalism. The food was hot and great as always. Chick Fil A has the best customer service, so for this manager to stand out really shows how dedicated he is to his customers.“

“Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers is a popular fast-casual chain known for doing one thing really well: chicken fingers. The menu is intentionally simple, focusing on high-quality chicken tenders served fresh, crispy, and consistently flavorful.

The chicken fingers are the highlight—tender, juicy on the inside with a light, crunchy coating on the outside. They are typically paired with Cane’s signature sauce, which adds a tangy, savory kick that many customers love.

The combo meals are straightforward and satisfying, usually including chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, and a drink. The simplicity of the menu helps ensure fast service and consistent quality.

Service is typically quick and friendly, and the restaurant environment is clean and efficient, designed for high turnover without sacrificing experience.

Overall, Raising Cane’s delivers a focused, high-quality chicken finger experience with great consistency, flavor, and speed.“

“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.“

“This place has personally become my favorite branch! The service is excellent, the place is super clean, and the food is absolutely delicious. Special thanks to Rey for being incredibly kind and attentive. He really made the visit even better!“
