Well, it wasn't horrible. But it wasn't outstanding either, so that's a middle-of-the-road rating, no? So, I love fried chicken. When I make it at home, it's the best of anybody's out there, so when I get take-out, I always rate it against my own fried chicken. Mom was Southern, so I learned from The Pro. The main reason we're going middle-middle is because although there was a nice crisp on the chicken tenders, they seemed to miss seasoning, especially salt and pepper. There was no detectable seasoning. We both ordered a five-piece tenders. The tenders themselves were a decent size. I saw in reviews that some customers received much skinnier ones, and posted subsequent pictures. Ours were fine. So the even decent size meant the fry made them turn out tender and moist. But they didn't wow me. My meal came with a southern sweet tea, which was very sweet but good and a honey biscuit, which I didn't try. There was supposed to be some sort of dipping sauce, but there was none in neither order. This was a par for the course dinner, and not overly expensive. I would go again and try something else because their price point is good and the chicken breading is tasty, even though not with the greatest seasoning. Perhaps the bone-in chicken would be more flavorful. read more

Chicken tenders were not hot, not even warm. No napkins. I will stick to picking up chicken at Albertson's Deli 720 3rd Avenue. The chicken is hot and taste AND THE COST IS a LOT CHEAPER. read more

Normally I never have a problem with Church's...like honestly never. But tonight after decades of having their delicious chicken I have a complaint more about the order than quality. Chicken was hot and juicy like normal but I asked for two legs and two wings. Instead I got two 1 leg and 3 wings. I even reiterated it 3 or four times. Not cool. read more

1. Service: I placed my order ahead of time so that I don't have to wait. However, they didn't make my order until I got there and they looked confused when I gave them the order number. They were unfriendly and acted like that they are being bothered by helping you. 2. Food: The chicken doesn't taste fresh. It tasted like it's been ready cooked. All you can taste was the grease. read more

Hours posted are not the actual hours. Came and waited till 10am and was told by employees they open @ 10:30am read more

The food here is delicious and reasonably priced. The service was excellent, and the staff are very friendly. My only concern is that the place could use a remodel, as it doesn't look the most sanitary. With a little updating, this would easily be my go-to spot for fried chicken in Chula Vista. read more

I was hesitant to get me my chicken here because of all the bad reviews but I bit the bullet and decided to try it yesterday morning because I had business in the area. Ever since the Church's location up in Oceanside closed I've been totally missing their yummy legs and thighs. Sure this Church's is rather run down and in need of some cosmetic TLC but you know what, when you travel to the Southern United States most of the really good chicken places are not located in 4 star hotels. As a matter of fact, you'll find really good chicken in gas stations and shacks. So I pulled up to the drive thru, avoiding the giant pothole, and ordered. The guy who who helped me was super friendly and helpful and honored my $21.99 14 piece leg and thigh meal. He was working by himself in this small building and hustled to get me my order quickly and accurately. My chicken was hot, perfectly crunchy, and juicy and the slaw was super fresh. I was chicken happy. So with a little spiffying up this Church's location would be golden. That said, during this time of Covid I sure as hell AM NOT gonna be trash talking fast food workers or business owners who are f'ing working their butts off just to survive! So many of my friends remain unemployed and scores of my favorite eateries have closed. Even worse are the entitled ghetto ass losers who scammed the system and got bogus Covid relief loans while others went bankrupt! And there you have it! I got me my chicken, it was hella tasty, and I'd definitely come back to this Church's! read more

On September 8, 2024 I went to this Church's Chicken to buy dinner for my family. I spent almost 50.00 there. We got home and part of my order was missing. I have been calling them since yesterday to tell them of this error they made and they never answer the phone. I nor my family will ever go there again. read more

Ordered food online for pick up around 8:50PM, store closes at 10PM. Went there at 9PM and said they're closed and no more chicken, so they can't give me my food or any refund. If i can give no star, I would. NEVER GOING BACK. read more

Don't buy from this location if you use coupons , they were going to charge me $6 more. Until I asked her to re-calculate. And wait time is very long. And the chicken tastes terrible, the worst location ever. read more

Food is great but they usually mess up my order so now I stay there and have to check and tell them what's missing. The workers always look confused. Once I finally get my order in order.. it's delicious and tasty, just so stressful to place an order and actually check you got the right items. I always get the family meal half spicy half regular. They usually make me park on the side to wait 15 minutes so they can make the spicy ones. Wish they had spicy ones ready for costumers. read more

Food was very bland and cold. Turns out some of the chicken was completely raw and slimy. Definitely never eating from here again. read more

I've been to this location a hand full of times and almost every time the food I get is not what I ordered or incomplete. This last experience I had, the person taking the order rushed through taking it and got it wrong then proceeded to add attitude when I attempted to clarify at the window. The food is greasy but ok for the most part, I he customer service however, is not worth this location being in business. read more

Church's Chicken - Food of course looks nothing like the photo. - Fast Food Near Me - Chula Vista, California

No wonder this place got so many bad reviews. Got here at 9:03 PM waiting for someone to help us at the drive thru but no one even said anything on the intercom. All they did was turn off the lights... how freaking rude can you be. No wonder this place has less than 2 stars. read more

Worst customer service EVER! It's 9pm and they run out of chicken or atleast that's what they said. Rolling her eyes as she closed the window in my face. I will never spend my money at this sh$t whole place again. read more

The food is good, but it was very difficult to the person taking my order to hear me thru the speaker. All in all it was ok though.

It's 10:45 am, it says they open at 10 am. Trying to put two and two together, they were helping someone upfront and said they don't open till 15 more minutes. Should've known, they already have bad reviews and the market manager clearly doesn't care about customers. All I wanted was mashed potatoes & Mac n cheese, terrible location. read more

I purchased a three-piece dark the chicken looked done, but it tasted burned. It seemed to be overcooked. The breading was dark brown, as opposed to a golden brown I equate that to old grease. Change out the grease when it is needed to be changed. Taking shortcuts as such will eventually put you right out of business. Some people can't cook chicken by a recipe. Unfortunately I've had the same type experience at the one on El Cajon blvd. Get your acts together or choose some other type of business where cooking isn't required. read more

Consistently good! Church Chicken is by far makes the best fried chicken here in San Diego.

Done with this place. I ordered a 3 pc tender combo and a small order of jalapeno poppers. First of all communicating with the staff there is almost impossible. They speak little to no English and I had to keep repeating myself. Then when my order was ready, they tried to send me off without my drink (always have to remind them). They forgot my drink again. Yup and not the 1st time I have to ask for my drink. Then I get back to work and my jalapeno poppers were not in my bag. I have no jalapeno poppers. My tenders were soggy. Not even near crispy and the coating was way to thin. They had to make them because I declined the spicy ones they wanted to give me. Apparently they didn't want to cook them so the cooked them half ass in a hurry and there was no one else in line and only 1 car at the drive through so they were not even busy, just LAZY! And then to boot, my coleslaw was not fresh. It was old and SOGGY. If I did not have to go back to work I would have went back and got a refund. Finally, the look on the employees faces is that of someone who doesn't want to be there. They are older ladies and you can tell they don't like their job. Maybe you should try hiring some younger folks who have a positive attitude and the willingness to work, unlike the old ladies that are there now. This spot has become worse over the years. Your employees always look miserable like the food we receive, just miserable. You will continue to lose business as long as they are employees there. Good luck. Ambiance?? What ambiance. Even the building and parking lot are old and outdated like your staff. Your parking lot has huge hole. This location puts churches chicken in a bad light. Look at all your negative reviews. You obviously don't care because it is just getting worse. Good luck. You need it! read more

Supposed to be a 3pc chicken tenders but that has to be the smallest portion size I've ever seen, they're cheating the customers, literally looks like they skinned off a small chicken breast and called it a tender, don't order personal meals here it's a waste of money read more

Went there at 9:03 pm just now. They say they're closed, even though both Google and Yelp advertise that they're open till 10pm.

Stopped by here while I was driving past because it was the first place that I saw that sounded appealing. It's very small. No indoor dining. Only seating outside. There is a drive through but it was super packed & I just tinted my windows so I couldn't roll them down yet. The girl who took my order was rude & just seemed like she was over her job. I placed an order & requested jalapeño poppers. She asked me regular or large. Before I asked my question she literally cut me off to answer. I was going to ask, "How many does..." She immediately says, "4 & 8." Or something like that. Damn, let me finish my sentence first Rudy! Lol. I placed my order but forgot to add fries for my son & so u stood there waiting for her to come back to the cashier to assist me. & she immediately assumed I was waiting on my food & said, "I'll call you when it's ready." You didn't even know wtf I wanted. Lol. I added on the fries. The food took awhile. It was only two workers. One working drive thru & the other ringing up customers who went to the window. Only 2 stars for the mediocre food. If they had a better attitude about things it could've been a higher rating. Would not recommend their customer service. read more

Please be very aware of this location, they are scamming, they charge me 19.00 for my meal I looked at my bank account they end up charging me 30 bucks I went back and they said sorry it was a mistake when clearly they have a receipt that had 19 dollars. The food was super dry. read more

They ran out of biscuits and they said they couldn't give me anything for compensation like add another mashed potatoes at least . Got my drink wrong I had to reverse . The lady did upsize it for her mistaken. The chicken was at least fresh and the workers were nice but I probably won't go back to that location read more

First off, let me say I love Church's chicken. We waited an hour for our order to be delivered, and they screwed it up. If it weren't for the fact that we were sick and it was rainy, we would have gone to the Church's by the Navy Base. They don't answer their phone to correct this issue. Do not recommend this location!!! read more

Didn't take our order until we got to pick up window (still took 20+ min with only 3 cars in line) didn't use our 5 piece combo coupon for $7. and regular fries for 2.49 that ended up being 10 fries thrown in a plastic bag. total ended up being 15.87 and they wouldn't give us a receipt with the correct charges. i've included pictures. rude staff that pretends they can't hear you to get you to leave. read more

Normally, I will give Church's 5 stars. However, they did me dirty today. I ordered my bucket and sides and couldn't wait to get home and put my buttery lips in them honey biscuits. Nope! They gave me dinner rolls. Heck naw! I was bamboozled. Do better, if you're out of biscuits say so, I would have got another order of poppers .... . read more

Arrived 20 minutes before closing time which is stated on their website at 10:00pm. I walked up to the window and the employee said that they close at 9pm. I told her that their website stated 10pm and she said that's probably for other bigger Church's stores. read more

Manager need to be demoted or allowed to join the unemployed. Waited 15 minutes to place my order in the drive through to be told at 6:45 pm that there is going to be a 20 minute wait as they ran out of chicken. Turn off the lights or tell people waiting in the drive through that somebody allowed them to run out of cooked chicken. The rest of the world is wanting to work and they run out of prepared food. Sad thing there we no customers at the walk up and 2 cars in the drive through. Went to national city location and there was no wait at all read more
