LOVED IT! Chicken was so juicy and the medium spice was just the perfect amount of spice! I think the coleslaw was a perfect addition to the sandwich. The fries were also delicious and well seasoned! I would ask for extra sauce though, because it's very good (the sandwich has plenty, but it's great with the fries). I would definitely come again :)

Went here with my friend, we ordered the two chicken sandwich combo with seasoned fries, fairly good portion, and everything was done to perfection. The chicken was cruncy, crisply, finger-lickin good! Super moist...the fries were seasoned deliciously and was sweet and salty savory. Everything was crispy and not oily at all. Perfection. The customer service was on point, the sauce was good, and food came out in an efficient amount of time despite it being the dinner hour. One of the TOP hot chicken places in San Diego!

Absolutely delicious chicken sandwich that you can customize the heat level to your preference. Especially what I like to in addition to the sandwich was the side of fries which were done really well and seasoned well. Really don't have a bad thing to say about them and I definitely would come back.

When it comes to Halal Nashville Hot Chicken, Main Chick never disappoints.I'm unsure how they managed this, but the chicken is so much better than Dave's in every way. This is due to the texture, the seasoning, juiciness, etc.The value is also superb, and the portions are more than satisfactory. The fries are nice and crispy, while seasoned well, unlike Dave's, which is usually more greasy and they give a small handful.I typically have this delivered, but in person it was just as great, and the lady at the cashier was very friendly and helpful. The packaging is also very nice and unique, although I have once been cut by the staples that are on the bag, but that's my only gripe.Dietary restrictions: Halal

Incredibly great and kind service. For the food itself, kinda eh. Chicken was alright, but the fries and whatever their sauce is slapped...

There are so many fried chicken sandwich places these days that it's hard to determine which ones the best. We went off of the reviews and we're not disappointed. The chicken was crisp and juicy. The buns were great. The slaw was great. The service was wonderful, the lady that takes the orders is a real gem, we absolutely loved her! I have to say that there is a warning that comes with this place, the spiciness is out of control we got medium and it was firecracker hot and we used to eating hot sauce. If you like it really hot, I'd probably just get medium. If you like it with just a smidge of hot I would go with the second level I'm even concerned that the mild might have heat because the french fries had a little bit of heat. French fries were absolutely delicious with their spice and crunchiness the sauce that they serve is phenomenal, I give this place 4.5 stars just for the fact that it's kind of fast foodie and the spice is a little bit hotter than advertised.

Beware their mild is VERY Hot! The meat was good and soft but ordered the mild and it was flaming hot. The flavour wasn't the best either

Really easy to order at the counter. I came here with a friend we split the Combo 6 - 2 dark meat sandwiches with fries, pickles and MC sauce, and Combo #4 - 6 Tenders, fries, pickles and MC Sauce). We got mild for both and you could still taste the kick so I’m glad we didn’t go up in spice level. I got some coleslaw but I should have not gotten it, it was super vinegary. Should have got the Mac and Cheese instead. MC sauce was great and all the food except for the coleslaw was really nice.

Refuses to give water to customers. Will never go back. Do yourself a favor and go to burros and fries next door and buy a taco for $2 with a free cup of water instead of spending $2 on a bottle at Main Chick.

Delicious chicken sandwich and loved the crinkled cut fries. I would rank Main chicken as my favorite of all the chicken sandwich restaurants. I just wish there was more locations in SD.

Ordered combo 4 today, which comes with 6 strips of chicken tenders, fries, pickles, and 3 containers of sauces. With the addition of a drink we paid just around $35. They go nuts with the portions here! When the food came out I realized that we ordered way too much food. I think the combo with 3 tenders would have sufficed for the two of us. We got two huge plates, one with a pile of fries, and the other filled up with chicken. Each tender is a decent size and I was full after 2. As for the spice level, we ordered medium spice. I thought it tasted pretty mild, but I do have a high spice tolerance. There are just a few tables and seats available here, and most people were doing takeout, but I enjoy eating chicken as fresh as possible, and I had no complaints about the seating/atmosphere. It was clean and the service was friendly. I am docking a point because I think the food here is pretty salty. The fries and chicken are generously seasoned.
