14 Best Chicken Restaurants near Vista

“When I went to pick up my online order, there was no one at the order counter. I waited a few minutes and a lady appeared but did not look at me or acknowledge I was there but just started to
bag up some orders. She also looked unhappy to be there even though there were only 2 other customers waiting for their orders. She finally called the others when their orders were ready, but did not acknowledge that I was still there waiting (a good 5-7 minutes by then). Finally another employee came to me and apologized for my wait. He was friendly and helpful and handed me my order. He was worth coming back for, and she was not!“

“Great food and great service. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The spice level was just right, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean. Definitely one of the better hot chicken spots I’ve tried, and I’ll be coming back again.“

“First time checking out this location, and it is a massive upgrade compared to the Mira Mesa spot! The place is super bright, modern, and has a huge dining area with plenty of seating. They also have self-ordering kiosks, which makes things really quick.

A special shoutout to Emiliano for the fantastic service—we were greeted the second we walked through the door. While we were there, he was super patient helping another customer who had never been to a Dave’s before, even recommending meals based on how hungry they were.

On top of that, the location is super convenient right off the freeway, and parking in the shopping center was a breeze. Definitely coming back to this location from now on!“

“I tried the cauliflower slider and I was just knocked out! So tasty!! Also a chicken tender and fries. Everything was cooked perfectly. Jerry was on top of everything while motoring back and forth from kitchen to front. Very polite and attentive to all!“

“Our family loves Roostr Yard! This has been our go-to since moving to the area a few months ago. It has delicious and healthy options, great ingredients, and there’s something get for everyone! My husband especially LOVES the V Wings. Try their sauces, we love the red pepper most! And their mango salad is always yummy!“

“One of the better KFC’s. Chicken is always moist and favorable, they don’t serve the old pieces that been sitting around under the lamps. Sometimes drive thru takes a minute but that’s cause they are making your food fresh. I don’t mind waiting for fresh. Great customer service service every time too.“

“Buena atención y un personal muy amable.“
