    Sandwich and strip combo
    Mark F.

    Strong option for Nashville Hot Chicken in an increasingly crowded market. Howlin Rays is still the gold standard for me but in Long Beach, unless you want a chain that is just okay, you are looking at a handful of spots worth spending your money at. The combo deals are a pretty good value and I got the one with the sandwich and chicken strip. First off, as far as standard fries goes, I think the crinkle cut is best. Yes the seasoned curly fries are hard to beat but again for standard fries, the crinkle holds in all the seasoning so it its one of my faves and so I loved having these fries which were well seasoned. The chicken was well cooked with good crunch on the outside and tender chicken inside. The medium was pretty spicy so I can't imagine what the hot is like. We can handle pretty spicy foods as a family but this was pretty strong so buyer beware. I was glad I got the sandwich becauss the bun and slaw helped cut that heat a little. I do wish this food hall had more than 2 restaurants open and hopefully other restaurants will come in as tenants because that would help this area but I like the food hall style set up using shipping containers and the open seating area. I hope this place survives because all in all pretty satisfied with this spot if we can't make the trek to DTLA for Howlin.

    Love this place! It's our favorite hot chicken place so far. We have came here multiple times and it never disappoints. Usually it's the same staff working and they are always so nice and fast. The food always comes out hot and fresh. They have an outdoor seating area that is shared with another restaurant. Definitely recommend!

    Make sure to check online orders. They were missing 2 items and couldn't give me a refund. Only option was to drive hella far to pickup the items. Very annoying for something that was definitely their fault. Two $7 items too from a $165 order. Food was still good but spicier than the last time, so sometimes they're inconsistent

    I ordered on-line for pick-up. Location was easy to get to and there was easy parking. Everything was packed up, ready to go. There are cute shared benches if you want to eat there. Chicken was mild spicy. It was delicious. It wasn't super greasy and fries were salty, spicy and crunchy - just the way I like them. I had the 3 Tender Combo which was plenty of food for me. I gave my son, a tender. Overall, super yummy chicken restaurant!

    They are already known for their yummy fried chicken! I picked up the order for to go this time and the staff provided very quick service. The shop is small but very efficient. Outdoor common seating area is available in front of the store. I ordered: 1. Combo 1: 2 chicken burgers and fries

    Came across this place while meeting with a coworker close by and ended up eating here since the place we originally wanted to eat at was not open yet. We ordered the medium spicy chicken sandwich which still had quite a kick to it. The ingredients on the sandwich were fresh and matched well with the fried chicken. The fries were also nice but I wish it would have had less seasoning on it. The place itself is nice and offers plenty of seating at a nicely covered patio. Verdict: 4 stars for very reasonably priced food and fast and friendly service. I'II be back! Enjoy and Bon Appetit.

    Easy parking, outdoor seating. So many chicken sandwich spots popping up. Add this one to the list of the good ones :) Chicken had good flavor, good texture, sandwich bread soft & fresh. Mc sauce is tasty, extra $ for hot honey (optional). Seasoned fries crispy, not soggy, the way we like it! Mac and cheese was not as creamy as I like, but still good . Chill vibes.

    Main Chick Hot Chicken is one of the better hot chicken places in LA County. After the over-saturation of many hot chicken joints in the last few years, this one stands out from the bunch. The cuts of chicken are fair and meaty and have such a nice crunch when you bite into them. I ordered two sliders and they were both so damn good! I'm already thinking about coming back and having them again. The fries are also very good. They give you a generous portion and they are crispy and seasoned to perfection. It is a great deal of food that will more than likely leave you satisfied. The wait times are not too bad either. Only about ten minutes before my food was ready. I loved every last bite :) I asked the cashier about their wall of fame and she told me that to earn a place on it, I would have to eat one of their chicken items at the spiciest level. I let her know next time I come eat here, I'm going to be on that wall. Mark my words.

    Little pricey but food is good. Seating is limited since it's shared with other businesses. I would go again.

    Sad to write this review. I went there yesterday to drive thru with 2 small toddlers for lunch. I…read morewas happy they took the only bill I had which was a $100 bill with no problem. However, I was thrown off when she handed me my bags and checking the bags and handing them off to the kids in the backseat not noticing she never gave me my change for my $40 something dollar order. She even stayed at the closed window staring at me while I rummaged through the bags trying to hurry because the line was long behind me. I thought she was ensuring my order was correct and it actually made me feel uncomfortable that she was staring at me from the closed window... it gave me the "hurry up and move vibe". Then later on that day when I realized I didn't get my change back... not even a receipt, I knew why she was staring at me. She wanted me to leave without my change. I've been trying to call them since and they don't answer their phone. I'll try to go in today, but I highly doubt I'll get my money back without a receipt. Sucks there is dishonest people like that. So like all the other reviews here that says to watch your transactions in this locations drive thru... I SECOND THAT! DISHONEST PEOPLE WORK HERE!

The building…read moreitself is a an old looking place that is in a real need to spend money updating, heck everything . The place really tests your faith in a food prep area and the temperature your food is kept. They, like a lot of small independent fish markets need to take a day and just clean EVERYTHING a customer sees. On to the food, this trip I ordered the dinner plate it consisted of 3 pieces of the fish of my choice and 10 large shrimp along with fries a second side and a roll. It took about 12 mins to receive the food and the provide you with a pager. I wanted a smaller plate but they only have the option of 3 pieces or a 5 piece meal nothing for smaller appetites. This is a togo spot there is no inside dinning so all orders should come with your condiment breakdowns or you should be asked your desire. I was already on the freeway in traffic before I noticed the 2 most important condiments were not in my bag!!! The ketchup nor any hot sauce.! This almost got them a one star review for it. Im not even a big spicy girl and I was appalled it wasn't included. So I had to eat dry a$$ fries and try a bit of tartar sauce (which isn't my favorite thing in the first place) but who serves fries without at least offering ketchup? I asked for my shrimp to be lightly fried ( so they wouldn't taste like rubber) and he cooked them almost perfectly crisp. The fish was cooked lightly crisp as well This is why I didn't give a one star. The batter was light and flaky with much flavor generally not being a spicy girl I appreciate when the batter isn't what I deem spicy, but even I would have added a tinge of pepper flavoring to give a pop of extra flavor. The container is probably a highlight here they keep the food in cardboard. Now if you don't know plastic (all plastic is terrible for your body (the particles that come off of it and warming your food in them are definitely cancer callers) so this helps for safety and how your food sweats inside the container cardboard with holes always food to stay in its intended form fries in generally breathe better and don't get soggy like and less the crispness. So thanks for that. But please please clean the windows and the freezers they just look dingy. Who I go back? Only in an emergency. And that consists of the other place I like being closed as this place is open until 8. So anytime I need some fried fish after 640 this is that spot!

We had a reservation for six and the hostess greeted us and sat us right away. Our server, Nate, was fantastic. He knew the menu and answered all of our questions. He even explained how some of the drinks were made. Later we found out he was actually one of the bartenders helping out as a server for the night. Which made sense considering how well he knew how the drinks were made. He was attentive and checked on us often to make sure everything was going well. One thing that made him stand out was, he actually conversed with us rather than just asking if we needed anything and then leaving. The Old Fashioned was one of the smoothest and best I've probably ever had. My nephew ordered the Ube Painkiller after Nate described how it was made. I had a sip, and the ube flavor really came through without overpowering the drink and it was perfectly matched with the dark rum, which Nate said came from the Caribbean. The Brussels sprouts had a nice mix of tender and crispy pieces that gave additional texture. The calamari was tender and the pesto style sauce paired real good with it. The Thai curry sea bass was flavorful, flaky, and had the right amount of spice. The cioppino had a rich shellfish flavor in the broth and I appreciated that the tomato base didn't have such an acidic taste. We also shared the tomahawk, which was juicy, cooked perfectly, and had a sprinkle of coarse salt that really brought out the flavor. Overall, we had a great experience. The food was excellent, but Nate's service really made our night special, making us feel right at home.

The hostess was quite sweet when we walked in. As we had our little fur baby with us, we were seated at one of the tables on the patio.

Happy hour was happening which we took advantage of. It was 4.00 off appetizer, 2.00 off draft wine and beer. Also, they made sure that our little pup was well taken care of as well. Food wise, an order of the poke wrap. Nice chunks of ahi with a scoop of rice, lettuce, avocado and wasabi sauce. It was good but a little messy. As it would be with all of the lettuce wraps. The steamed mussels which is a must. The broth was delicious and served with two nice thick slices of toasted bread. Decent size mussels cooked deliciously in the broth. A must try. Lastly the calamari which was tossed with jalapeños. Both deep fried and quite tasty. Nice crunch to it but not overly cooked. That was also served with two dipping sauce. Everything was delicious. Towards the end of the meal, Melinda noticed that a bug was in my wine which she was very sweet about and made sure to take care of it. The simple little gesture was greatly appreciative. The whole experience was excellent. Everyone was the sweetest and friendliest. Will definitely be back.
