The chicken and fish were definitely the stars of the meal. The Wings, hands down best wings in San Diego, I'll fight anyone that says otherwise lol. I also added a cornbread, and it was so good it was gone in two bites. This place deserves to be much busier because the food is outstanding.

Came in a few days ago and had the shrimp, mac n cheese, potato salad. My friend had the shrimp too with side of Turkey & cabbage and rice and gravy. We both enjoyed everything except the potato salad. Potato salad was sweet and made with relish (not our style of potato salad we prefer) The shrimp was delicious, large, seasoned and fried well. The catfish was good but not as good as the shrimp. They mac & cheese was the best I've had!!! We also had the peach cobbler and it was soo very tasty. My only regret is not getting it with ice cream. 2 days later I went back with my kid to try the chicken tenders, fries, egg rolls, and get some more Mac & Cheese. Chicken & fries were seasoned good. I just wish they had an option for spicy seasoning. The Mac & Cheese we fought over and it was gone quick. We'll be back for the mac&cheese, shrimp, and cobblers! Delicious!!

So it just so happens that I was telling a…read morefriend about my incident, the bad food, and catty energy I received from Mr. Richard at the Taste of New Orleans festival, and she said (hol' up, let me add the disclaimer that this is NOT MY encounter, but I'm retelling a story I was told because you seem like the type to try and finagle a libel or defamation suit just because you're mad because somebody doesn't like your food) she just so happens to know Chef Boots, who used to cook for you when you had 4 C Square in Downtown San Diego back in the 90's. They said you had the Juke Joint too, allegedly. Now your Poboy shop done closed down too, so now you're stuck moonlighting as "The Gumbo Pot" at festivals that probably cost you more in booth rental than you actually made. Why is it you've have ALL of these different restaurants (allegedly) that NEVER stayed open though? Denny's ain't NEVER had to close down and reopen under different names. Anyways though, Richard T. I heard you and Chef Boots used to get into about recipes (allegedly) and y'all almost came to blows about it (allegedly). AGAIN, just hearsay, but I'm just retelling a story I was told, verbatim. Anyways, if you scroll down to the "10 reviews for Poboy Shop that are not currently recommended" section and look at the reviews, Sally T. is the daughter (the one Chef Boots' sister Eboni used to babysit in the 90's) and Nina T. is really the wife. For her to lie and say this food was "Michelin Bib Gourmand (sic) quality" is diabolical! I think maybe she was trying to say "gourmet" but regardless, she's delusional. NOTHING about that food is gourmet or Michelin. Maybe Michelin tires come to mind as you want to run the food over with your car, but this place ain't even a Michelin napkin, let alone a star. Furthermore, to have your family write reviews because you can't get enough honest reviews about your food is sad. You're one of those people who LOVE to say you HAVE a BUSINESS but ain't really DOING business. People are LITERALLY telling you where you need to improve, and instead of implementing the changes, no, you'd rather argue with people and lie about what actually happened. I was cool, polite, and respectful, and I didn't even make a scene like I could have. I ate ONE of those THREE yucky sides (jambalaya) and brought the rest of that swill back to you, and your wife gave me a $10 refund of the $20 I spent. I could've EASILY got loud and went off about how bad the food was, and disrupted your business, and drove away your customers, but I didn't. I made SURE I was respectful. As a matter-of-fact, I was so cool and quiet about it, YOU didn't even realize what happened until AFTER I had already left. To me, it just looks like you've been janky and slangin' subpar food for 30-years, and you STILL apparently don't get it. What's even sadder is to be able to get this type of feedback about you from somebody who remembers you from 30+ years ago, ESPECIALLY considering the Taste of New Orleans festival was the FIRST (and LAST by the way) time I had EVER seen you or had your gross food in my LIFE! Energy doesn't lie though.

Indulging in Side Chicks was a flavor-packed journey that left my taste buds applauding. The chicken sandwich was a masterpiece - fresh, tantalizingly tasty, with juicy and flavorful chicken embraced by buns that boasted the perfect touch of buttery goodness. The fries were not just good; they were a value-packed delight, leaving me feeling like I hit the jackpot. And let's talk about the hospitality - the owner was as delightful as the menu. Their warmth and friendliness added an extra sprinkle of joy to the dining experience. If you're on a quest for a bit of heaven in your meal, Side Chicks is your destination. It's earned its place next to hot chicken legends like Howlin' Rays on my list. Don't hesitate - come here and savor the delicious symphony they bring to your palate! read more

I tried the chicken sandwich and while the chicken pieces were certainly fat and juicy, I found the seasoning to be quite bland. While I appreciate that the sandwich is priced well and always seems to be fresh, I would have enjoyed it much more with a bit more flavor. Overall, Cluckin' Good offers a decent chicken sandwich option for those who are looking for an affordable and fresh meal. However, I would caution that the seasoning on the chicken is lacking, which could be a disappointment for those who are looking for a more flavorful experience. Fresh and affordable, but lacking in the flavor department. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Side Chick, a small but mighty establishment specializing in fried chicken sandwiches. The prices are extremely affordable and the quality of the food is top-notch, with a flavor profile similar to that of a Raising Cane's sandwich. Everything on the menu is worth trying, but my personal favorite was the Korean Chick sandwich, which was bursting with flavor. The staff at Side Chick were friendly and attentive, making for a great overall dining experience. I highly recommend Side Chick for anyone in search of delicious, affordable food that doesn't sacrifice quality. read more

I ordered the chicken sandwich with the hot honey on the side, and it hit exactly how I wanted it to. The chicken was crispy, well-seasoned, and had a good crunch without being greasy. The hot honey added that perfect sweet-heat balance when I drizzled it on. Portion size was fair for the price and overall it felt like good value for what you get. Simple menu, fast enough service, and a sandwich that actually delivers on flavor. I'd definitely go back and try other options. Overall: worth the price and a solid go-to if you're craving a good chicken sandwich in San Diego. read more
