Chicken Shops in San Diego, CA

“The food and staff were great. But I had to pay $2 for a small thing of ranch. 🫠 like…. Seriously lol“

“Traveling to SD for work. Decided to order Dave’s in so I can watch the nba finals in my room. First time experience. Pleasantly good. Combo chicken tender, sandwich with slaw and side of fries. The spices was just right and that Dave’s sauce was on point. Please open one in Pensacola.“

“10/10 food
10/10 service
10/10 vibes

It was my first time going and the food was soooo yummy. And I’m particular because I’m west Asian. The owners are so sweet and caring and they were playing Turkish music which I love. I’ll be back ASAP. The chicken and chick peas we’re tooo good.“

“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. 🇵🇭🐝❤️“

“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“

“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.“

“We love coming to the Melt. You can’t go wrong with the burgers, and the Mac N Cheese is a family favorite. My son would be happy to eat here every day (literally). Service is wonderful, and Annie always has a smile to share. See y’all next week too!“

“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 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽“

“Absolutely loved the spicy mission burger it was worth the price Motr greeted us with a warm smile and was very helpful explaining what comes on the burgers 12/10 experience we will definitely be coming back and hopefully see Motr and everyone else’s cheerful attitudes❤“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The area was nice, and was pretty cozy. The food tasted immaculate, and although the chicken wings were slightly worse than the boneless thigh, the boneless thigh really did carry the meal. Service was quick and simple, and the worker was very friendly. We even ordered a second round just to get more of the boneless thighs. All in all, a pretty good experience.“

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

“Ordered the original rice chicken and also the roasted chicken.....it was all delicious.....found a new favorite Korean restaurant and it’s in the neighborhood 👍🏼“

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

“The chicken sandwich, tacos, and quesadilla were all excellent. It's nice that all of the chicken was cooked perfectly and was nice and juicy. The seasoning was just right to not be overwhelming, and their side sauce is a nice complement.“

“I haven’t been there but it’s looks pretty good the food 🍱.“

“Ko Kai has been such a blessing to have in San Diego! It is so hard to find restaurants with this type of food made this style! There are other variations of Hainan chicken but nothing close to this one. We have tried it all in San Diego and this one just hits home. It has a mix of Malay/Singapore and Chinese feel but from a Thai family! I was able to chat with the owners and they are super nice! Their descendants are from China but their family migrated to Thailand. This recipe has been past down generations and still operating till this day in the South of Thailand! This is a must try! You won’t regret it! I always have to keep an eye out for their announcements where they’ll be during the week!
You won’t be disappointed!“

“The little girl/lady that helped me and my son was amazing. I wish that every place I ate at had someone like her. Promotion is needed for her. I'm sorry that I didn't get her name, but she was definitely the best. The food was good too.“

“Got the honey garlic wings, and they were really good. The wings were nice and crispy with great flavor not too sweet, and definitely not soggy. I also ordered the sweet potato fries, which were fresh and tasty. Overall, this is a solid spot for a quick grab-and-go meal, especially if you’re looking for wings. They have a good selection, and the prices are pretty average compared to other places. I’d definitely come back“

“Went at lunchtime, parking wasn't the greatest. Guy behind the counter was nice and friendly. First time visiting and he helped me with selecting a good combo to try. Bought the honey topping on the chicken pieces. Not sure what they called them. Sides of cole slaw and fried rice. The first time ever I had white fried rice and it was delicious. All the food was hot and fresh, very good. Not sure where the tomato comes in, I surely didn't get any in my meal. Sat inside. Kinda quiet. They have 3 TV's, but none were on. Music was playing instead. Enjoyed the visit.“

“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,“

“The food was absolutely delicious! The greens were really good, cooked just right, seasoned to perfection .The yams were cooked just right and flavorful, and the spinach was seasoned just right. I will definitely be going back for more good meals.“

“We got the Cluckin Hot Jumbo Slider with a 2nd piece of Jumbo strip. The 2nd strip was the Hot flavor. The Cluckin Hot sauce is definitely hot and was excellent. We were happily surprised with this. They said they recently changed the recipe to make it hotter, great choice. The fries were well done like we asked and the sauce options were excellent. We will definitely go back to this place!“

“es demasiado rico lo recomiendo“

“We love coming here when we come to San Diego. Always an excellent meal“

“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.

“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“

“Fast friendly service. Clean restrooms“

“Great CFA kind staff, great food, and as nerdy as it may sound you can tell they replace their oil on a good schedule, if your CFA ever looks a little dark instead of the golden color it should be, it means they are using burnt oil that needs replacing.“

“Good service. .good quality and oscar is the best worker at pollo loco!!“

“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.“

“Compared to other fast food places a plus. I used to go to Taco Bell, but once I went to El Pollo, I never went back. The EPL food is packed with healthy ingredients. Taco Bell, not so much. My only complaint about EPL is the food is always hot, especially the Tacos.“

“Always hits the spot! Good food good price what more can you ask for? And they always have friendly smiles too!“

“Awesome and kid friendly ❤️“

“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.“

“thank God for Pollo Loco I was driving around a little bit of cash you guys keep it real my burrito bowl was $13 every other place around here or especially in California is $18-$20 it’s ridiculous you guys keep it real with fresh ingredients this was a clean establishment everyone was friendly I’ll keep coming back“

“Outstanding customer service and friendly workers. Enjoyed dining in with my family. Thank you

“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“

“Great Mexican food... 🤡 WHOOP WHOOP“

“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.“

“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 love this location! There is ample parking, interior is super clean, employees are friendly, smooth ordering process even when using rewards in the app, and our meal is prepared fast and arrives piping hot! I eat here about every week. On the weeks I can't make it out this way, I feel like I'm missing something in my life.“
