Main Chick Hot Chicken

This has been my go to hot chicken place for a couple years now. I order at least once a week. The flavor and sauce are better than any of the other hot chicken places around. But they no longer give sauce with tenders. Why did they have to go the route of McDonalds and nickel and dime their customers over sauce? Guess I'll be trying the new Raising Cane's location.

I gave the dude a $3 tip for pressing 3 buttons, and he still tried to charge me $2 for a small sauce. My food came out in less than a minute, it was ice cold. Overall experience wasn’t good, you’re better off going to Dave’s hot chicken.

First time going here over the weekend and it was not good. The prices were outrageous for one tender on a sandwich. The combos don’t come with a drink either. The fries were soggy and suuuuper overseasoned and the chicken tasted burnt. The slaw on the sandwich was good though. So there’s that… Was excited to try but will not be returning.

Solid food, spicy was really good mild was great as well but be careful it’s still spicy to some people, sauce was good as well.

Worst food poisoning I've ever experienced.

My chicken sandwhich was a chicken tender, see pictures... Overall the price does not match the quality, the extra charges (pickles, ranch) make it even less desirable.

The chicken tenders were alright, but they did not come with a sauce cup. A little cup of ranch was $1.07 more. Not an extra, just to get 1, for 2 tenders?🤷🏼‍♂️

1 meal was the happy hour medium spice dark meat chicken sandwhich with coleslaw and pickles, fries, and a fountain drink. With a tube of orange sauce, no clue what it was but likely fornthe sandwhich. $9.99 My son ate it all and some of my tenders.

2nd meal was a Combo 1 spicy, which is a white meat chicken sandwich with coleslaw and pickles, a chicken tender, and fries. And the same tube of sauce for the chicken tender sandwhich... 🤣$15.99. FYI this is a combo that does not include a drink, had I know that I would have gotten the dark meat chicken sandwhich. As a drink is $3, so it would make a combo 1 with a drink just about $20 with tax. Absolutely not worth that.
It had some spice and not much flavor. Why they used a chicken strip and not the chicken portion listed was quite odd. But they did add a 2nd tender. I was not impressed with the 3 tenders and little bun that I had. The fries were a decent portion but I'd rather have them be seasoned.

Both ordered slaw on the side and extra pickles. That turned into 1 side of pickles for $0.99.

They gave 3 ketchup packets, we asked for more 3x as the fry portion was a decent size and we like ketchup.

The quality of food did not match the price. It lacked flavor and just not something I'd get again.

The cashier was on her phone the entire time I was there often while customers waited for her attention.

Also the table marked as ADA is not ADA accessible, it needs to allow a wheelchair to fit under the table, the single center post does not accommodate a wheelchair.

The Naked Chicken sandwich here is a must try. It was my first time and I was attracted to the window image of a giant size filet. The food is delicious, giant filet and Hawaiian buns with saucy fixings. Though, the bathroom has no toilet paper and a sign to read. Another customer tells me they never have toilet paper and it's out every visit now. Loved the service and there might be a wait for parking.

My boyfriend and I ordered some fried chicken for take out. But when we almost finished food, I found a hair inside chicken skin. Food tastes good but you never want to eat again after you found the hair.

Since the first time I entered the place it became my favorite chicken sandwich.

Very crispy, very mindful, very demure.

I’ve been there a couple of times since the first time.

Best fast food hot chicken sandwiches out here. My fav is the dark meat sandwich at spicy level. Really packs a punch and is so juicy and crispy.

I said no pickles and these fools put pickles on my tender and sandwich. I told them mild they gave me spicy. I said please add a fork for my Mac and cheese they gave me no fork or napkins. The food wasn't good at all. The mac was average and the tender and sandwich were horrendous. I haven't ate here in a year won't be back again

As a foreigner trying to find the best fried chicken in San Diego, main chik is my #1 spot. I’ve tried many places but their chicken is deliciously juicy, fresh, coleslaw is amazing, Mac cheese is probably not the best or rather 5/10. I will always get my fried chicken here from now on!
