    #3  Two chicken sandwiches with fries
    Monica M.

    Good service, clean, quiet spot. Their fries are the best! #3 with two chicken sandwiches Is enough to share!!

    Horrible atrocious chicken tenders
    Peter P.

    Horrible chicken and it was tuff as hell. Breading would come off instantly with such a powerful paprika flavor it overpowered everything. Random areas of the restaurant smelled like sewage and the soda station served uncarbonated and warm soda with zero flavor (don't know how that's possible) customer service was VERY weak with workers giving attitude. Somehow they messed up ranch, tasting rancid. Only genuinely positive thing I can say about this place was that the fries were decent and it had a mediocre and average ambience. I would NEVER come here again and suggest anyone who asks me about it not too!!!!

    I love hot chicken so I wanted to try Main chick since I pass it all the time. This location is in the same lot as Super King. This is location is very clean with lots of open space to eat inside. Orders are placed on the kiosk. The menu is pretty standard to its name (chicken sandwhich, chicken tenders or chicken (bone in). They have five levels of hotness" that you can request. (They have a wall of photos of the customers who ate the hottest level 'Supreme'.... Bold lol). I ordered a leg and thigh with fries (medium hotness). Medium had a nice kick to it and the chicken was crispy and good. Nice amount of fries. Not sure if I'm brave enough to try supreme but I will be back to try more options on the menu. The service was excellent!

    First time trying Main chicken. Great quality. My best friend and I both got combo #1 which is a sandwich, a tender, fries and a drink. We also got a side of macaroni and cheese. The chicken was crispy and delicious. We got mild and medium heat. A fair warning to anyone who can't handle spicy foods. The medium is very spicy. Luckily for us we love a good kick of heat. Mac n cheese was amazing creamy and soft. Customer service was excellent and very prompt. Cooks were nice as well! Overall great review.

    Can never go wrong with this spot. I used to go to the one in Woodland Hills since it was closer to us but since the Northridge one opened, it's super convenient! Parking gets a little packed since it's located in a busy plaza next to Northridge mall. There's a DSW and Daiso along with a supermarket and other food spots. Almost always a struggle finding parking. Lots of seating at this location and service is always quick! Love the beautiful mural on the right wall when you walk in. We typically get the combo #1 and #2 with extra MC sauces because you can never have too much. We tried their Mac n cheese for the first time today and topped it off with some paprika at home and it was incredible! Super delicious. Love this place, especially the fries. You don't come across good crinkle fries too often and these are perfectly seasoned and crisp! IG: @ammysalamii

    I'll start off with the bad because it's the reason for my rating. There was the FOULEST smell inside the restaurant. Right when I walked in it smelled like old fermented cabbage and poop mixed together it was so bad I actually couldn't stay inside to order I had to have my husband order for me while I waited outside. (I almost canceled getting the food because the smell was so disgusting but my husband wanted me to try it because it's one of his favorites) When we went back in to pick up the order the smell seemed to have gotten worse and I had to run outside and actually vomited in the trash can outside. Super embarrassing and utterly disgusting. I had to wait 30 min after just to be able to eat. Totally ruined the experience for me. The only other negative is the size of the sandwich was on the smaller side. The spice level even on the mild was quite spicy and had a nice kick to it. The sandwich itself was delicious, slightly sweet and great seasoning. The fries were excellent, crispy, well seasoned and perfectly done.' Hoping whatever issue caused that smell is fixed for next time. You order on a kiosk and there's only people cooking in the back.

    MC Sandwich medium

    On the way we stopped to get this and I ordered medium hot sandwich. One it's like fire hot, 2 nd the powder is soooo much I choked on it. It overpowers the taste of chicken. Did not enjoy it at all. My son liked it but my husband and I did not. Spent $60 to go to trash. Will not get it again.

    Better than other places in the valley and wait time was shorter. Definitely recommend trying if you're looking for good hot chicken.

My sandwich was very well portioned and absolutely delicious, some of the best pastrami I've ever had! Fries were good, Cole slaw was good, and the whole experience was great.

So it seemed fitting to honor both of them and it satisfied my craving. The catered memorial looked great but it was difficult to make a proper plate. I always crave matzo ball soup. Luckily I had my fan to help cool off my soup. I did add a little salt and pepper. Other than that it was total comfort. $15 We shared a club sandwich and got French fries instead. All the condiments, Russian dressing, ranch come in prepackaged little containers. Ranch tasted fresh and homemade. I used a little of the Russian dressing. Is that a Brent's thing? $22 + $3 for French fries. I wanted a little sweet and got the blueberry cheesecake. That was the best cheesecake ever. Actual blueberries inside the cheesecake. So creamy and delicious. $11 Pickles are always my favorite. I got bagel chips with my matzo ball soup. I ordered corned beef and cabbage for my 99 year old mom. She said she didn't like the cabbage, no taste. She's 99 ‍ It's been a while since I was there. It feels the same. Booths and tables. Same decor. Our server Laura was super sweet and patient. Helpful in our decision making. Ricardo cracked me up because he brought a small soup container for my friend's cabbage soup. She was a little perturbed it was too small. Ricardo insisted it would fit and it did PERFECTLY.

I am grateful though to have an option in the area to order bahn mi. I got the Deli Special Bahn Mi, which has 3 types of meat in it, like Vietnamese ham and char Siu pork. I liked the crunch of the pickled carrots and daikon. I also requested for no jalapeno and cucumber. The bread tasted crisp and chewy, and overall it was something that filled me up for what I needed. My friend got a vermicelli bowl and felt like the overall dish was also okay, and that the fish sauce could have been more flavorful since that's usually a highlight for her. There was a bit of a long wait for it, like almost 20 minutes. We definitely chose to eat it to-go since the interior is also small and there's about 3 tables or less. They do offer an extensive menu though and I was pretty tempted to buy a drink and try it out from here. Parking lot is entered through Reseda and there's a whole area of the lot that's been fenced off for the longest. Might be hard to enter or exit if it's a busy time because of traffic. No bathrooms! Water cups available on the side if you need to fill up some water.

When you're tired of the breakfast burrito game, Egg Tuck is the easy go-to that reminds you breakfast can be simple, elegant, and incredibly satisfying all at once. The Avo Egg sandwich is a must. Pillow soft scrambled eggs piled high on a soft brioche-style dark bread with fresh avocado and a delicious house sauce topped with chives. The bread was slightly on the darker side but it didn't detract from the overall experience one bit -- every bite was rich, creamy, and satisfying. These are genuinely some of the best eggs in the city and at around $11 for the sandwich it's a fair price for the quality you're getting. Don't skip the tater tots. Crispy, hot, and perfectly cooked -- the small comes in at just $2.50 and the large is $5.29, making them one of the better value sides you'll find anywhere. They pair perfectly with the sandwich. The space is clean, bright, and welcoming with good customer service to match. Parking is easy too -- there's a parking lot below and free street parking available nearby, which in the Valley is always a bonus. Egg Tuck is the kind of place you find yourself thinking about on a Tuesday morning when you wish you were there. If you're in the Valley and serious about breakfast, this is a non-negotiable stop.

The restaurant itself was spacious and well-organized, front of house was friendly and prompt. They were playing slowed down remixes of artists like Don Toliver ~ ok I loved that vibe *** I ordered the avocado sandwich + bacon, to go. The presentation was on point, well-thought out packaging provided structure so there wasn't a mess inside the box. The bread reminded me of French toast - it was buttery and crisp. Avocado was fresh and creamy, and the eggs were giving potato salad, which I enjoyed. I would have liked double the bacon for more texture, but other than that it was a hearty egg sandwich. I'd come back for a quick breakfast stop! Thank you, Egg Tuck
