I'm a fan. it was raining lightly but it was close to closing so we ate outside and they dragged us inside. So kind. Love that. The chicken was great too. Juicy chicken and good fry. In san diego, it's one of my american fried chicken spots but theres better in other areas. read more

Been coming here for yearsss and it never disappoints! One of my go-to spots in SD. The spicy fried crispy gizzards are my FAVORITE but honestly everything on the menu is good. They remodeled recently and the place looks great now too. Service is always friendly and quick. Yeah it's in the hood a little lol but let's be real... that's where some of the best food spots are Definitely worth stopping by for some good grindz! read more

Yeah it's in the hood, wouldn't eat inside or go at night but takeout slaps! Gizzards, chicken, fish, tenders, sides. On point!!!

Always loved their fried liver; it's a bummer that the national city location closed down.

This place is definitely popular and has a nice staff. It was very busy inside so I would suggest to order ahead if you are not eating there. I love that's it's family owned and that they are on top of helping each customer. They do have specials it looks like to try that change out. We got the fried chicken and some sides which the chicken has a nice crunch. If I'm in the area I would definitely get it again. read more

This place is FIRE!!!! The food here is always good. Never miss. I have been coming here for years and will continue to do so.

Another San Diego favorite of mine. These guys are spot on with their fried chicken and I hope so by the name of the restaurant. Wait time is efficient due to the cook time. No hot lamps I've ever seen. I always pick up so no say on ambiance. Stop by and get your cluck on. read more

Affordable, juicy and hearty. Love this local joint. It's kinda like a IYKYK, mom and pop shop. The chicken is super crispy and flavorful. I really love the tenders also. It's a nice change from your genetic chicken chains. Chicken and rice is thee best combo. They have a pretty large menu, plenty of new things to try. Service is good, food is fresh and fast. read more

Some of my favorite fried chicken and seafood in SD! Pretty sure everything is made fresh. The chicken and catfish are super juicy and crispy. Shrimp was plump and tender. Definitely recommend their okra! Coleslaw was good too but a little too wet. Can't wait to come back! read more

I haven't been here since they renovated post COVID. It's still not exactly a plush environment, but they have taken down the plexiglass and replaced a few tables and chairs so it's possible to dine inside. The food is cooked fresh and while FAR from healthy, it's good tasting, well seasoned and there is a lot of variety including hush puppies, chicken gizzards, calamari and some new Asian sides including fried rice and garlic noodles. read more

Stopped in to get our fried chicken fix and ended up falling in love with the jumbo fried shrimp. This place is on point, the jumbo 8 shrimp combo is a must try. The shrimp are huge...make sure to get cocktail sauce and hot sauce. Pass on Mac and cheese but the mash and gravy are tasty. The fried chicken was made to order...get the hot sauce with it as well. The place has a small section to eat in but would recommend carry out. read more

One of our favorite fried chicken spots. Clean inside. Nice & friendly staff. Prices are reasonable. Usually we order the Fried rice, 10 piece dark & dry spicy gizzards. All the food here is delicious. Plenty of choices. Best to call ahead before & pick up. Save on the wait time. read more

Tried calling to place a takeout order and they didn't answer. Walked in and ordered a popcorn chicken combo which included 2 sides. I ordered mashed potatoes and fried zucchini. They weren't good. Fried zucchini had good texture but was very bland. The popcorn chicken wasn't crispy at all. Though the coating had good flavor, it was falling off. Chicken was dry. I could see if it was sitting out for a little while but it wasn't. Also waited 25 minutes for my order. All together, wasn't very good. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the portion size was large. read more

I ordered the 2 piece dark chicken, fried shrimp and the catfish. Everything was great. The chicken was fried to perfection, and it came with cornbread. This spot is I believe a Korean restaurant where a lot of thr locals come. While there we plaid the video game while we waited for our food. The customer service was great. They have a few tables you could dine in at. They had the greatest little plants. I would definitely come back. A lot of people were ordering the fried gizzards. I will have to try them next time. read more

Chicken was alright. However, the corn bread was oily. Terrible. The mac and cheese was inedible. Most vile thing I've ever eaten. It was macaroni in fake cheesy water. It had a weird, rancid aftertaste. I gagged and spit it out. After that, I could not eat anymore chicken. I didn't bother eating the mash potatoes and gravy. The gravy looked like dirty mop water and smelled like funky mushrooms. I LOL'ed at another reviewer when he said, "I don't come here for the sides, only the juicy chicken." Bruh, I believe you! read more

8 years later and this is the only place i ever crave consistently. popcorn chicken and fried shrimp with the sweet and sour sauce OOOOOWEEEEEE. it never comes with enough sauce but its okay because we have some at home. freaking love this place idk why i gave it 4 stars back then. 5 stars always and forever in my heart LMFAOOO :3 read more

I tried this place way back when they first opened and I heard about it and they were delicious. The way they fixed the chicken reminded me of the broasted chicken in the midwest. I came here several times and then I was out of town for a few years. We came back in about a month ago and the chicken was still delicious. Obviously the prices have gone up but they are competitive with other places and serve very good food. read more

Southern guy here in CA. The fried gizzards are really solid. Will return to this place soon.

Yessssssssssssssssssssss Crispy Fried Chicken for the win. I Don't come here for the sides. I come for the juicy, crispy fried chicken. read more

My family has been getting fried chicken here for over a decade because they are great. Always extremely crispy, seasoned just right, and they come out piping hot with the juiciest meat. Hence, the wait time could be up to 30 minutes if you're waiting for a fresh batch. The menu is big, filled with all deep fried goodness. Their sweet potato fries are some of the best in town as they're nicely seasoned and never soggy. Seriously worth a trip no matter where you are in SD. read more

The chicken here is amazing the food is cooked fresh from order. I love being able to choose between dark and light meat which I have been denied at other places even when I was okay if it was extra cost. The inside had recently been renovated. read more

You can't beat this crack chicken in the hood, great fish and seafood also, MANY sides. Take mixed 10 piece to annual Boxing Day party and it quickly disappears. Also love the shrimp and chicken tender dinner with 2 sides. Cornbread, okra and hush puppies are good. They have chicken gizzards, hard to find these days. Red snapper, whole catfish or catfish nuggets, popcorn chicken. They keep fry grease fresh! read more

Hole in the wall chicken spot. Bars on the window, protective glass where you order. However the food is pretty good. We order the fried chicken, chicken fried rice, shrimp fried rice, fried shrimp and fried oysters. Service is a little slow. But the food is prepared fresh. The chicken is extremely crispy and seasoned well. Everything is reasonably priced. Indoor and outdoor dining not available. read more

Chicken was amazing so was the hush puppies I ordered fries and rings but didn't get the rings which was a disappointment but will go back

I have been waiting to check this place out because of all the hype. I finally did and it was just ok. The chicken was crispy, but I was bland. 3 starts for the service and the serving size. They were friendly and the serving size was big. read more

Crispy Fried Chicken is a mom-and-pop fried chicken shop in City Heights owned by an Asian family. The parking around the building was limited to six spaces, if that. You may have to parallel park on a nearby side street and walk over. The dining area resembled an outdated fast food joint which didn't look appealing at all. I was surprised to see so many items on their menu. Even the selections on the whiteboard of daily specials were intriguing. I only wanted fried chicken for my meal so I purchased the three piece mixed. They do know how to make a great crispy crust here that wasn't too greasy. Kudos to creating a ventilation hole on one of the corners of the styrofoam take-out container lid to extend the life of the crispiness of the fry. By doing this, it reduced the impact of the steam from the heat of the cooked meat which can quickly result in soggy fried chicken. Things that I would want to try at a return visit to this spot: calamari, krabby cake, oysters, and catfish nuggets. I wouldn't associate these seafood snacks with a fried chicken restaurant so my curiosity has been piqued as to how good they will taste with their formula of deep fry batter. The prices were quite affordable which I'm sure has added to their popularity. They will add an annoying surcharge to all credit card transactions regardless of the amount spent. Bring cash if you don't want to be nickeled and dimed from using a MC/VISA/AMEX. read more

The place isn't much to look at, but has really good food. The the tables were dirty and the woman at the table got a rag to wipe her table down and then gave it to me to wipe down. I don't think there was a bathroom here either. I got the chicken strips which were good. I got it with the French fries and potato salad. The potato salad was really good, which I was pleasantly surprised about. My friend got the same with the Mac and cheese, which we both agreed was not good at all. read more

Buying a 3 piece chicken tender combo. Almost $13! Took forever Smells good. Crazy homeless person lying out front. First and last time coming. read more

I'm rating this establishment with a 3 star when they have the potential to receive 5 stars , for one simple reason. You buy and pay for a 10 piece dark meat box of chicken and they give you one very small sample size serving of ranch dressing....you want more than one ? They'll charge you more than a dollar for each addtnl one. That's a bit ridiculous to expect that one tiny container to be enough to eat along with that 10 pieces of chicken! Sometimes these business's will step over a dollar to pick up a nickel. You wonder why so many businesses go under? This is that kind of example as to why. Things like this are enough for a customer to never return. read more

great chicken every order is freshly made , customer service is great as well . i recommend everything on that menu.

OG Fried Chicken Spot. Don't come here for the aesthetic or to dine in , just order on the phone and come pick up. This place has the best fried chicken, better than any chain out there. I'm happy they recently renovated, the prices are solid and the chicken is so so crispy and tender. Juicy and perfectly seasoned, this spot is in the hood so of course it has it's own flare. Been eating here for 10+ years, and I hope the recipes will never change. Mac and cheese here is a hit or miss, but I love the seafood option here as well read more
