    I went in here cause I had a coupon for a free sandwich, after going online and looking at their prices I was blown away at how expensive this place is. I walked in and the place was a ghost town, there was no one to greet you, there was a self order kiosk. Finally someone from the kitchen looked at me and not even a hello instead he called someone else. Once I got my food thank goodness it was free. The sandwich tasted like someone just dropped a bunch seasoning and no sauce. Overall I was not impressed. The place was super clean.

    Best chicken in North County SD definitely!! The seasoning and sauce is uniquely great and the chicken is perfectly crispy and tender. Fries perfect as well. Arturo was super cool and friendly!

    Ordered delivery on doordash after an 11 hour shift, got my food and it was the wrong order. They had me literally drive down to the store, return the food to them because they switched the order and this was for someone else, and got here and waited another 10 minutes for my correct food. It makes me a little worried they serve returned food to other people. There's easily spots to mark what food is what on the top, but they don't bother to utilize it. Consider just ordering from one of the other ten chicken places in the area.

    Macaroni was hot n Delish 10/10  No Sodium overload here

    Great Chicken sandwich ! I took 1 bite of my kiddos and it was delicious. I ended up ordering a tender and scrolled to bottom bottom of menu & there were sides ... Yay on Mac too

    The food here is great. It's well priced with something for everyone. I got the all day combo and it came with a deliciously well fried hot chicken sandwich and amazing fries, fried to perfection. The chicken is not overly (wet) glazed but still well-seasoned and not overly-breaded. Service could've been a little bit friendlier but it's definitely the typical ambiance of an O'side shop and is chill as a result. The decor is inline with other hot chicken spots with a neat mural of the O'side pier pre-fir. There's plenty of parking at this location.

    Good food.ordered combo 3, combo 1and mac & cheese. It took a little bit to get our food but understandable since they make it as you order.

    Good food and clean place. Ordered combo 3( left),combo 1 (right) and mac&cheese. It took a little bit to receive our food but it's understandable since they make it your food as you order it.

    Not eating these hard fries..

    This is already the third time that we've eaten here and every single time my fries are burnt hard dry as hard as a rock. Great sandwich, awful fries.

    All day Happy Hour Special for only $9.99! It was very filling!

    First time at Main Chick! Ordered the all day Happy Hour special which consists of a chicken sandwich, fries and a drink for only $9.99! What a deal. The food arrived hot and tasty! I'm a bit of a spice wimp so the mild chicken was perfect for me and flavorful down to the last bite. I loved the pickle and slaw crunch in the sandwich. The large helping of deliciously seasoned fries were hot and crispy, just the way I like it. The staff were friendly and greeted us with a smile. The restaurant is very clean. I look forward to coming back.

    Too crispy . Overcooked dry and greasy asf . Everything burnt. Sad bc the locations good .

    Over cooked . Burnt . Dry chicken . Cold fries . Not flavorful enough . Too bad I really wanted to like this spot .

    Everything is good in taste and quality. Proportions are on the smaller side but still enough to be full.

    Overpriced. For what you pay the sauce should be included. Also, chicken was over cooked.

The waiter seemed to be testing me from the moment that I got there until I left however I think I passed? I want to go back and ask him. Overall would 100% recommend.

    The devil is in the details right? You can have great ingredients but to make a burger truly tasty…read moreit's how you bring it all together. Tanner's does an excellent job executing the smash burger. One of the best I've had! The patty was well seasoned and nice crispy texture. The bacon adds smokiness. The brioche bun is soft and light. It does not dominate the bite like so many bad burgers. And the tallow fries??? Pure ! The fries reminded me of the original MacDonalds fries cooked in beef tallow. But way better execution. Crispy and cooked just enough. The size was perfect. And the salt the used amped the flavor. Super good!!! Overall the food is 5 stars. The overall setting is perfect for burgers. Everything is open air so the place stays cool on a hot day. Lots of seating. Service was efficient. In this place moving quickly and turning tables is a must to keep the line moving. Overall 4 stars for setting. I must warn you there are lines. You will wait. And when it is sunny it gets brutal right before you enter the ordering area. There are umbrellas so use one if you don't want to get burnt. And the parking is good if you ride your bike. But there are places to park in the neighborhood. I will be back. The burger and fries are too good not to!!! PS Try their house lager . Just a great example of the brew and perfect for hot days.

The burgers were phenomenal! The blue cheese was sooo good! The truffle burger was incredible! I thought the Better Mac would have been my favorite, and it was still good, but surprisingly, it wasn't my fave over the three. The chicken sandwiches are HUGE but I wished the tenders were tossed in the sauce/seasoning. They add the garlic parm on top of the tenders as they're assembled on top of the bun, so it doesn't completely coat the tender. IMO, it would be more flavorful tossed. However, the aioli sauces are just so delicious and to kill for! Even though this is also a smash burger leave, their burgers aren't thin and had a lot of bite to them! They're so worth it and hands down much better than across the street!

    When it comes to sports bars, Oceanside, California has many for local patrons to enjoy…read more One of the better destinations is also the oldest sports bar known as the Red Rooster. Red Rooster sports bar has been serving the community of Oceanside for over 60 years. Even though they recently had a change of ownership, the new owners are also local and they left local management in charge. This effectively means that nothing has changed, and they are still providing some of the best bar, food and ambience, as well as drinks! They just cleaned up the bathrooms and a little bit of the interior decor. When it comes to food, the Red Rooster is known for their famous Rooster Burger. This burger is legendary within the community. I also love their crispy fries that are well seasoned. More recently, they have also added $.69 chicken wings on Wednesdays. This deal is available with the purchase of a beer. They also have cider available as well. Although they have a few basic flavors on their regular chicken wing menu, on Wednesdays, they add a lot more flavors to the special. These sauce, flavors alternate weekly, and it adds a nice variety. Most recently, I enjoyed the teriyaki, the bourbon bbq, honey mustard, general tso and my favorite is the lemon pepper. The interior looks much like a divey sports bar, equipped with one pool table and a few high-table seating available. There is also a backyard seating area with a fire pit, that is also fenced off. Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Red Rooster at least once to experience their burger, their chicken wings, and a small piece of historic Oceanside vibes.

    Driven past this place numerous times thinking it was just a bar until reading the Yelp reviews…read more Had the burger with chilies. The Del Sol chillies were wonderful. Saw the cans when we left. The burgers were fantastic as were the onion rings. The bar tender also cooks the food. Don't be in a rush as the order took over 20 minutes but worth the wait. 2 burgers, onion rings and 2 Modelos came to$50 without a tip. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.
