The best fried chicken sandwiches I've probably ever had. Puts Dave's Hot Chicken to shame.

This place was great but permanently closed on 10.19.2021--not sure as to why. Likely, because I liked it.

Was in SD about a month ago. Enjoyed take out from Corner Chicken again as close to where we stay and good chicken. Today, 10/25/21, drove by and saw windows were papered and a sign that said permanently closed. What a loss! Had hoped they would make it through Covid.

I just read this and i'm very sad. You guys were amazing. The community loved you. Thank you so much for the great food we had there. Thank you, Thank you, thank you. PS We moved to Florida so feel free to open one in Fort Lauderdale.

Solid chicken spot in a city with so many choices to choose from. Order the #2 combo chicken Sammich with fries and pick your level of heat. I went with the "it's lit" and didn't have any kick at all, but tremendous amounts of flavor and cooked to perfection. Definitely worth a try!

I came here on a Friday to try something other than the usual lunch spots by my work. I ordered online (which is annoying as I wanted to call in (I'm a dinosaur)). The good: 1. The food was ready on time. 2. The food was tasty. The chicken tender while there was only one, was thick and juicy. Had a decent amount of sauce/flavoring on it. 3. It was close to work The bad: It is expensive. It was $10.24 ($9.50 for tax) and the whole container wasn't filled with fries which are cheap and you only got one chicken finger/tender whatever on the fries. To add another would be like $3 more. I would come here and get a sandwich maybe but for the price and the amount of food you get it wasn't worth it to me. I got the "it's lit" which is medium? It was not super spicy. I probably could have gone up a level. I also liked the dill sauce. I didn't know what the other sauce was and was ok tasting.

Great place for a fried chicken sandwich. The chicken and the fries were both very tasty. Not sure what's on the seasoning but it was very good particularly on the fries. It was a tad spicy (I went only to the second spice level) but that's my fault for having low spice tolerance. Overall good place if looking for fried chicken at an affordable price.

Their spicy chicken sando was pretty good but the customer service was sad. No one greeted me as I walked in, after standing at the register for 2 minutes I had to get their attention to receive my food, and when I asked for extra cheese sauce they didn't say one word but still handed it to me. No one was even in there and it wasn't busy to not give better customer service. I live down the street so I'll have to give it another try to see if they'll change my mind.

My only gripe with this otherwise delicious chicken sandwich is that the chicken is more of a strip, which means you don't always get a bite of chicken in your sando. Otherwise, the chicken sandwich is super good! I think what sets it apart from other chicken sandwich places is the kale slaw they put in it!! I could eat a whole bowl of just the slaw, but combined with the chicken it's a perfect combo. Definitely recommend coming here!

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.
