Chicken Shops near National City, CA

“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!“

“el sabor,y los condimentos, todo muy rico“

“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.“

“I love their chicken wrap“

“Muy sabroso y muy amables“

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

“Great taste, great price!“

“Great customer service. Food came quickly and was so fresh. Highly recommended the Korean side chick and fries amazing!!!“

“I got the plate that had one strip and one slider, it comes with two strips and a slider! More than enough food for sure, I would even say it would easily be enough for two people, maybe add on an extra strip or something.
The fries are really tasty with a nice seasoning on them. They are very generous and added extra pickles and extra sauces with no extra charge.
I have had this one other time and I remember it being extremely hot, not sure what level I ordered that time but today I ordered a mild and it was tasty. I will definitely be back, thoroughly enjoyed this meal!

Parking: This is a very busy shopping center.... Parking is rough!! In-n-out and a hotel share this small lot... Be patient!“

“Had a very nice conversation with Brenda at the drive-through. The food was delicious. The parking lot was clean. Brenda spoke loud and clearly she was very kind showed great customer service. I will probably be back to this location soon to eat again.“

“The aroma sorta calls you in. It was a very welcoming atmosphere especially with the music playing. I knew it was in for some authentic Korean fried chicken. The menu displayed a host different flavors and heat levels. I chose the original spicy and their wings of fire, a sweet and spicy Asian BBQ. Everything met my expectations ???“

“This place is awesome! It feels like a franchise but this is their only location. I got the #1 and it was a Fantastic Chicken Sandwich. I got mine hot and the heat and spice level were perfect. The sauce (Chick Sauce) was tangy and a little spicy. The wall art is super cute and the over all chicken decor was a nice touch. I will definitely eat here again!“

“Seating inside is limited. Looked like a worker was sitting at one of the front tables and the tables in the back with the iconic sign were being used for restocking. The food is delicious. Tomato soup is tasty but not hot enough. Triple grilled cheese is fantastic and the fries are super crunchy!“

“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!“

“Great customer service. Food came quickly and was so fresh. Highly recommended the Korean side chick and fries amazing!!!“

“I love crack shack. I was born n raised in San Diego but moved to Memphis where I learned what good fried chicken is. This is the fried chicken spot in Southern California. Fire nugs+fries+pickles you can not go wrong. The bar tender is really awesome and the food is seasoned perfectly. Really good desserts as well.“

“This place is close to my work and I thoroughly enjoy their tostadas. Every time I'm sent the coupon for one in the app, I make my way there for another one. They never disappoint and the service if I choose to eat there is always top notch. They're constantly cleaning and asking if you need anything.“

“very good food...service 👍“

“As a foreigner trying to find the best fried chicken in San Diego, main chik is my #1 spot. I’ve tried many places but their chicken is deliciously juicy, fresh, coleslaw is amazing, Mac cheese is probably not the best or rather 5/10. I will always get my fried chicken here from now on!“

“I'm not sure why others had not the best experience trying their sandwiches, but we just tried their Original Bird - Fried Chicken Sandwich, and it was SO good. The photo I took will not do it justice! I should have opened it up to show everything.To me, all the textures and flavors went so well. The chicken was crispy on the outside, but so tender and juicy on the inside. The sauce was well balanced, and the pickle always great. The bun was nice and soft.Dare I say the best chicken sandwich for me is here! The fact that you can pre-order ahead of time, and drive on over and enjoy it outside in the San Diego Sun :)“

“Tasty fast food courteous staff“

“Nestled in the bustling northeast corner of the Balboa Mesa Shopping Center, this Chick-fil-A is a popular hub for diners in the area. With its reputation for friendly service and efficient operations, it attracts a constant stream of customers. Despite the high demand, the drive-thru experience remains impressively smooth, thanks to the diligent staff who excel in managing orders with speed and accuracy. The dual-lane drive-thru system, merging into one, is particularly effective in keeping the line moving swiftly, ensuring that customers are served promptly without long waits.

However, the popularity of this location does come with its challenges, especially during peak hours. The parking lot and access to the drive-thru can become quite congested, testing the patience of even the most seasoned fast-food enthusiasts. Navigating the busy environment requires a bit of strategizing, particularly during lunch and dinner rushes.

For those willing to brave the hustle and bustle, the reward is well worth it. The consistently delicious food, coupled with the warm and welcoming atmosphere, makes this Chick-fil-A a standout choice. Whether you’re grabbing a quick meal on the go or indulging in a comfort food fix, the experience here is both satisfying and efficient, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.“
