    Single order of Leg & Thigh
    Anida M.

    Updated review - I finally made it in person to the shop to have everything fresh! The fries are even better than normal, still super consistent and crunchy and seasoned perfectly. The chicken was also amazing as always, but I tried something new since seeing the menu, and that's the banana Nutella cheesecake. Ohemgee, definitely one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had! So creamy with a subtle banana flavor, and Nutella swirl to kick it up a notch.. this will definitely be a go to when my husband picks up next time! Staff was super friendly, and the food came out quickly. Prices are also pretty decent, and they have a few offers for lunch specials and happy hour for a few bucks off certain combos. The restaurant is fast casual, and there are a good number of tables if you want to dine in. Definitely give it a try when you're in the area!

    Medium chicken tenders with Seasoned Crinkle Fries
    Cindy L.

    I've been wanting to check this place out in awhile but have always forgotten about it. A few days ago, we were in the neighborhood and decided to drop in. I'm glad we did, I got the medium Chicken thighs and it was made fresh to order. It was spicy, crunchy, savory and the seasoned crinkle fries made it a complete meal. The sauce was delicious, I tripled and double dipped many times per chicken bite, that's how good it was. This is a straight forward, not pretentious, joint that has a few tables but a lot of people took their orders to go, but the flavors speaks for itself.

    Mmmmmmmmmm

    DUUUUUUUUUDE! This place was awesome! The chicken was perfectly cooked juicy and tender with a fantastic spice. We got the combo #2 and #3 to share and it was so damn good. The crinkle cut fries were absolutely perfect. Next time I think I have to try the supreme spicy on one of my sandwiches or chicken strips just to see what everyone is talking about. The service was great too they are super nice and friendly Def will be back real soon

    Fries and chicken . . . .

    Service was great food was good. Not mind blowing but good and worth the price. Will def be back.

    My 2 piece meal and Ube cheesecake dessert.
    Caroleann B.

    Came here for lunch with my hubby. We beat the lunch crowd, so we got our food quickly. The food was very good and served freshly cooked. Piping hot. I was quite surprised at the Ube Cheesecake dessert, delicious and creamy. I like the roomy dining area. It was clean and organized. This location is a strip mall but with plenty of parking. It does get quite busy in this area since it is not only in a residential area but with business parks nearby as well. The front staff could use some improvements in their greeting the customers.

    Combo 3 (two sandwiches plus fries and sauce)
    Kaitlyn W.

    Main chick is hands down my favorite hot chicken place in north county. The chicken is always super juicy with a nice light layer of batter. I got combo #3 which has two sandwiches, fries, and a sauce. The sandwiches were delicious and had a little bit of a kick (I got mild). Fries were crispy and well seasoned. Everyone should try this place out! Way better than dave's hot chicken imo.

    Raw

    I was served raw chicken at this location with bad customer service and wait times; however management was quick to reach out and issue a refund which I appreciate. I have been to the Linda Vista location which has been consistent.

    This is moments before we were givien a free fire tray
    Leo S.

    My experience was great here the workers are super nice and food is amazing main chick fries with the sauce is for sure one of the best things you can get one time I was there with a big group of my friends about 7 or so and we were all sharing a fire tray and the worker felt bad because the person who bought it wouldn't give any body else some so he gave us a free one highly recommended coming I've never been disappointed with there service !

    New for me...

    Ask the Community - Main Chick Hot Chicken

    What type of oil do you fry your chicken in?

    Canola oil

    Hi again, are you keeping halal chicken seperate from others before cooking also? The gloves, tools used for handling them should also be seperate. Can you confirm?

    Hi Esad, Unfortunately not for the gloves.

    Hi, I saw that part of your chicken is Halal here. Are you also cooking and handling them seperately to avoid cross contamination with non-halal chicken or other ingridients?

    Yes, we have 2 fryers dedicated for tenders

    Hello, is your meat Halal?

    Hi Muhammad, Our tenders and leg quarters are Halal but the dark meat is not.

    How is the seating there?

    Hi there we have indoor seating good for about 16 people and a few outdoor seat.

They weren't too sweet It was a perfect side to my cat catfish. We also got the southern BBQ rip tips, chopped spare rib ends, which were well seasoned. With this dish, we got the side of mac & cheese, which was very cheesy and one of our favorite dishes. We also tried the BBQ baby back ribs. The lunch portion comes with four pieces. We got it with the side of hoppin John which is like beans with other stuff in it, it was pretty good. We also got a side of mashed potatoes which was really good and had plenty of gravy.

Not a big catfish person myself, but the catfish nuggets were actually pretty good. On the flip, sides were really good. The mac and cheese is amazing, potato salad was boring (pretty much just potato and dressing) but at least homemade, hushpuppies were some of the better Ive had. The woman at the counter was handling the many takeout orders like a boss and super helpful/friendly for this first timer. All that being said, I was disappointed to end up unswallowing everything for an hour straight. Not sure what item made me sick but the rest of this $41 meal is going in the trash.

    Finally got to try out BB.Q Chicken Vista…read more Located in a strip mall with banks, and other businesses, so there is some parking. Depending on the time of day and if the high school is getting out it can be pretty crowded to get in and out and park. The ambiance is ok, lots of pictures of their food, and a large TV playing people walking around. The place is clean, nice Tile floor, tables look inviting. There are probably 10-12 tables inside and a few outside. The doors were open so it was a little cold in there. They have a rewards program and an an app. You get 7000 points just for signing up. (Basically a free Soda). Joanna was super friendly, nice, and brought all of our food as soon as it was ready. She made sure we were all set. There is a paper menu you can look at, but there also have 3 monitors displaying the large menu. You can wait to talk to someone to order, or you can use the giant iPad to order yourself for takeout or dine in. There are quite a few choices for food. But the star are their wings. You can pick boneless or with bone, and for the qty they offer these sizes - small, medium, or large. They have several flavors to choose from. We tried the soy garlic, and they were delicious. Looking forward to try honey garlic and cheesling next. We tried the cheesling french fries, some kind of cheese powder, that is pretty tasty. Yum. My main course was the chicken fried rice, packed with umami, and very good. Nicely prepared. It was warm, delicious, and hit the spot. We also tried the fried dumplings, they were crispy, crunchy, also tasty. Definitely good food, and friendly service, so I am looking forward to go back to try other items for sure.

Even though someone checked the clock saying it was ready on time. Then we got home and missing an item ~$14 Kimchi Fried Rice. The receipt had it checked off. Looks like they put in a side of Kimichi instead. I immediately called and was told we could get a "free" order the next time we came in or "get a refund on-line through the website." The problem after being on the phone for another 20minutes was that there is no way to do either. Finally was given an ok to decline the order through my card from Linda Mendez (supervisor?). Apparently the store requested more information which I provided to the bank. 10 days later still no refund. What gives??

I decided to try out some wings. I ended up trying 5 of the 6 flavors: Hot Spicy, Spicy & Sweet, Soy Garlic, Cajun Lemon and Original. I think the Original and Soy garlic were the best ones. I had to drive home so it was about 30 minutes away. They left the boxes open to try and keep the wings as crispy as possible. I think if you get these in house, they would be super delicious. I will admit these wings were pretty meaty, a very good size. I am used to seeing smaller or average size at a lot of wing spots. The lady working (Elizabeth) was super helpful and friendly. I chatted with her while my order was ready to go. Decor seems nice, there is a bar and some tables as well. If you are in the area, I would definitely stop in for $1 wings during happy hour.

I would pass on the drinks because the boba was overcooked and it didn't have any flavor or sweetness to it.

I don't really like the sausage since it was too salty in my opinion, but this tteok is actually kinda insane since it is just crispy enough on the outside and qq on the inside. The caramelized spicy/sweet sauce pairs quite well with the rice cake. This was maybe $5. Wings and Drums - 5/5 - I got the Yangnyeom and Spicy wings. I like how their wing/s drum's quality is consistent and they have this crispy skin and spicy sweet sauce with different level of spice (I think koreans like to add sweetness to most of their foods). I think Boncho is probably my top 3 fav kfc (korean fried chicken) spot. Overall Thoughts: Best Thing I ate: Everything here is pretty solid but the big drums is textually my favorite. Something to Improve: Make the sausage less salty there is plenty of flavor from the sauce alone but keep up the quality!
