40 Best Chicken Restaurants near National City

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

“I love their chicken wrap“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“We been coming to this spot for years and it never fails on flavor, it has great quality but we kept seeing a pattern. This particularly location is reduced in space so we dont recommend dining in if you are more than 4 people if you wish to eat comfortable. When we come here, is usually during dawn and weekends so the lines can go all the way outside, on top of that you need to wait an additional of 20 minutes or more so to avoid this, I highly recommend to order ahead, but none of this removes the amazing quality of the food! This is just some details for those who prefer dine in.“

“Muy sabroso y muy amables“

“great food , friendly customer service..“

“Had a great experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken! What really stood out was the amazing customer service from Diego. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s always nice when someone goes above and beyond to make your experience enjoyable. Thank you, Diego, for the great service! I’ll definitely be back“

“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.“

“I love that food taste good fresh“

“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.“

“Very delicious. Enjoy the timing no rush they’re very good with the family.“

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

“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“

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

“Fast friendly service. Clean restrooms“

“I’ve always loved Jollibee because it’s more than fried chicken—it’s a little taste of home. The juicy, crispy Chickenjoy, the familiar flavors, and that warm Filipino hospitality have always taken me straight down memory lane to the Philippines. 🇵🇭❤️ That’s why it’s disappointing to see the San Antonio location slowly lose what makes Jollibee special. Lately, the service feels disorganized and slow, the quality seems inconsistent, and that warm Filipino welcome and atmosphere seem to be disappearing. On my most recent visit, I even received only 5 pieces of chicken when I ordered 6. Jollibee shouldn’t feel like just another busy fast-food chain. The Filipino warmth, hospitality, pride, and quality are part of the brand—and just as important as the Chickenjoy. I’m sharing this not simply to complain, but because we love Jollibee and want this location to do better. Please bring back the quality, organization, and unmistakable Filipino spirit that made us fall in love with Jollibee in the first place. We want our Jollibee back. 🇵🇭🐝❤️“

“Ok so this place stays busy but they move fast. I recommend downloading the app and collecting points. You can also order ahead. My go to is the egg white grilled chicken breakfast sandwich and add tomato and pickle!!! Ask for hot sauce packets too. One of my favorite healthy breakfast sandwiches. It’s so good!! The staff is always extra friendly.“

“Bombtastic as usual! Been going for ever! Total San Diego staple!“

“Zulyma was the hero! Just watching her work the counter was impressive. I had a mishap with my online order vs the kiosk and although she had to call for help, she was fabulous!! Please make sure Zulyma knows she is appreciated and give her employee of the month, she deserves it!“

“I recommend the chicken sandwich with white or dark meat with fries. The next recommendation is the leg quarter. crispy, delicious, tender, and seasoned perfectly.“

“The place was hoppin’ when we got there, a man wanted to know when his food would be ready, and the guy on the register was very polite, reasonable, reassuring and RESPECTFUL. We had a delay but not that long. The drive through made it very clear why. The employees were working fast and diligently, and I was, to say the least, pretty impressed. I read some of the negative reviews here and don’t think they are deserved, according to what I saw, on Tuesday.“

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

“I don't know what it is about this particular location, but the food here is the best. I went to the East County location, and the food was no where close to the food here. Same exact order, but totally different. I'll keep coming to this one.“

“They sell Turkey Legs at a stand by the Shipwreck Reef Cafe but the one I got was another stand near the entrance by the Dryer Ice Cream Parlor. The turkey leg was 17.99 plus tax and was huge. Haven't had one in awhile and forgotten how much tendons they had, but it was hot (I asked for one still inside their warmer vs the display case), juicy and delicious.“

“The food is good and the service is good. But they keep playing one portion of one song over and over and over again. It is so annoying. I'd rather not have any music at all than keep listening to this little portion over and over. It never changes. Not even a whole song just a portion of it, over and over and over again. It gets to be very annoying.“

“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!“

“Nice meal , I enjoyed it .“

“The crew were so very accomodating and friendly Perfect service“

“Food was good and fresh. Restaurant was cleaned. Customer service could be improved . It wasn't bad but employee were not greeting customers. There was no one at the register. Missing napkins and plastic ware from order. it could be that they were under staffed.“

“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.“

“Nice place to dine in and take out. Once in a while they do forgot certain things from your order but shoutout to Carlo their drive thru guy, always on top of it and always making sure you have everything for your dinner. We always find the dining area clean when we dine in.“
