10 Best Chicken Restaurants near Lakeside

“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.“

“I love KFC pot pies. I Ubered a very smart and upbeat young man to his job site, KFC. The gifted pot pie was awesome. Thank you, Braxton, for making my day a better day and a tastier day, for sure. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“very good food...service 👍“

“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“

“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. 👍🏽💪🏽“

“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!“

“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.“

“For some reason this is what my son always wants when we have take out dinner. While it’s not my favorite place in the world I will give credit to the staff they are always friendly and welcoming. The food isn’t that bad either. The interior of the restaurant could use some love but I have never been grossed out by the cleanliness of the place. As long as they continue to give me great service and my son want their chicken nuggets I’ll keep coming back“
