This place was absolutely fantastic!! First time here and the cashier was very helpful! He was super well versed on the menu and told me that what I was originally going to order xxx was not going to be the best choice and I went with his choice F Hot Chicken Sandwich Delicious! Definitely very well Trained Crew! So thanks again young man you made TJ Reed very happy ?

I ordered the two sandwich with fries and a drink. I wanted to try two different spice levels and they were nice enough to fill my order. You are supposed to get both the same. I got one of the hottest and the other the next level down. For the hottest they have you sign a waiver. Both sandwiches were good but I don't feel that the heat level on the spicy sandwich should require a waiver. Service was very good. I would return if I'm ever in the area

Great place to eat really good food however, I have been coming here for quite awhile not to be a bummer or anything but they are now charging .50cents on a simple sauce for 14bucks you'd expect a drink but doesn't even come with it or the sauce what's the point of calling it a combo at that point. Don't get me wrong really good food but the sauce part it should be 1 free sauce then .50cents extra unfortunately I'll just be taking my business elsewhere

Really good hot chicken! I ordered the lit tenders which are served on white bread. Loved it! The sauce they give you is something special. French fries were good and hot. I made the mistake of ordering the mac and cheese which was basically just three bites of Kraft Mac and cheese with a little shredded cheese on top as “disguise” I guess. Not at all what I would expect from a good hot chicken spot.Overall excellent food though! Good beer selection on tap as well. Definitely going back.

This place has the absolute best fried chicken around. It’s the batter that they use on the chicken. I got the Combo #2, Sandos. Just the right amount of food for a party of two. The fried chicken, kale slaw, pickles, and sauce in the sandos are they perfect mix. Perfect flavors with very juicy and tender chicken. The crinkle cut fries are just as amazing. Great seasoning and went well with the mayo sauce.While there’s seating inside, I highly recommend sitting out on the patio area. Nothing beats a nice meal outside in sunny San Diego. They’ve done a great job putting the place together. Highly recommend checking out Corner Chicken.

We really enjoyed the sandwiches from here. We ordered all three spice levels from their mild to their hottest flamin hot spice. I got to say, I was a bit disappointed in their top spice level. While the flavor was good, it just wasn't as spicy as I would have liked. I'm a huge fan of really spicy food and they missed the mark on their top offering. Again, flavor was good just needs more kick! Presentation is awesome. Three of the four sandwiches were tender and juicy, one was a little dry. San Diego is really competitive with places offering spicy chicken sandwiches (Dave's hot and crack shack) and I compare new places with my favorites :) Nonetheless, this spot is definitely worth a try as the sandwiches were really tasty and pricing was affordable. Definitely recommend!

The top spice level is really powdery ((granted I had it when thzy opened, maybe different now)). It's really hot but the powderyness kinda killed it for me. The 2nd most spicy one is good. The chicken itself is also really well cooked and that's a pro. It's good food.

Everything we had was great! The crispy-ness of the chicken was magnificent, but the breading was still light. We got the medium spice ("It's lit!") And it was the perfect amount. The fries were perfectly crispy and the seasoning on them was a great compliment to the chicken.Make sure you try adding the honey they give you on the chicken for the full experience!Will be back.

I f'ing love this place. If you have doubts about checking this place out, then know that the food is top quality and the staff is simply amazing. The 2 weeks I spent living Midtown I went to this place 5 times. It really is that good.

Quick and easy pickup and carry out service here at corner chicken! Working in the area this month and I can order thru my phone and walk one block to pickup within minutes. I haven't ordered too heavy but honestly their food packs a punch. I've been favoring their chicken slider- which is honestly a meal in itself, big piece of hot and yummy chicken on a toasted bun and slaw. And a side of their Mac and cheese always hits the spot.Service has so far been quick and friendly, even for just pickup. I have definitely found a new local favorite to visit in east village!

Amazing spicy fried chicken!! The texture and breading is so good and consistent! Corner chicken’s spice blend, dipping sauce, and prices are much better than the other options within about a 5mile proximity in my opinion. We’ve ordered takeout here several times in the past month and have been impressed every single time. I personally love the tenders and fries! I wasn’t even a huge fan of spicy fried chicken before trying this place and they have me coming back for more to satisfy my cravings.The chicken is fried correctly with no weird overcooked leathery parts. Juicy and tender and great even without the sauce. Fries are tasty as well with the light seasoning they add.

I'd prefer wings, but they aren't on their menu. Still tasty though.

The best hot chicken I've had I'm my life. The only bad part of my experience is when I get to the last bite and I realize it's over. Luckily they have a fire happy hour, and I can come back whenever.
