I had to come to this place after the sample I had OMGAHHHH this place is a Diamond in the rough because a lot of the times you see something new and many of us hesitate, it's our inner biases coming out! This place has taught me to be aware of that bc I've seen this place at the mall for a long time and jus told myself it's probably not good, what should I try... the entire time missing out on amazing chicken. Might be the BEST CHICKEN TENDERS I've ever had. No joke, I don't care for white meat either I'm more of a dark meat person. You must try their in-house come back sauce! That's what sold me it's like heaven in your mouth. I got my man a combo too, gonna go surprise his behind and bring him some nom noms haha. I up graded to cheese curds and it's my first time trying those. You can choose the spice level too. It's so damn fire. So damn good. Literally went back the next day for my chicken Cheese curds good too read more

The Red Chickz - Don't forget the come back sauce you also get a piece of bread. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Carlsbad, California

OMG! Wow! Just when I thought we couldn't get any more fried chicken shops, we get one more. And it's a spicy one! I love hot fried chicken. At The Red Chickz, you can choose your own level of heat: you can go "cool" (less than mild) to inferno (flaming hot). For all my chicken options, I went with their "spark" which is about a medium. It'll definitely make you sweat. Their menu has wings, tenders, shrimps, tacos and a chicken sandwich that can be paired with coleslaw, or wedges. Their cheese curds are an absolute must order! The chicken is perfectly crunchy and juicy. Ask for extra honey for the chicken sando! Perfect addition to Carlsbad. I am definitely coming back! read more

After being dragged to many hot chicken spots and not really getting the hype, I thought maybe hot chicken wasn't really my thing. I finally get it now! Red Chickz is by far the best hot chicken I've had. They boast to have the crunchiest hot chicken, and they are living up to the claim. The flavor was on point as well. The salad was fresh, a nice balance to the fried chicken. I also got to try the tenders and coleslaw, both were perfection. The coleslaw is mayo based, but very light on the mayo, which is my preference. The bread that comes under the tenders was toasted and soaked up all the delicious grease. Service was super friendly and helpful for my first visit. I'm looking forward to coming back for more! read more

The Red Chickz - Southwestern Salad with Glow (mild) chicken tender - Chicken Shop Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Stopped in on a Friday night. We usually go to Dave's hot chicken but wanted to try something new. The dining room is simple but tidy. They have cute hand painted signs that with funny sayings. Now to the food we ordered. Rip ordered the french toast sandwich with cheese "bonfire" heat. He had a side of coleslaw and root beer. The chicken was crunchy and juicy with heat that definitely hit. Served with maple syrup, gave it that perfect pairing of salt, sweet and spice. The coleslaw was mediocre, just your traditional coleslaw nothing spectacular. I ordered the honey butter sandwich "spark" and added cheese too. I loved how the butter slowly melted over the crisp chicken. The hot level was pretty mild. Onto the potato wedges. They were too salty for me. The shake was made with strawberry syrup not real strawberry but it was still tasty. Bottom line The chicken sandwiches are definitely the star of this show. Would come again! read more

The Red Chickz - Cauliflower Sandwich ! Freshly cooked ! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Awesome! Great prices, delicious food. I recommend the honey butter sandwich, or Thursday $2 tender specials

The food I'd really good. The staff and customer service sets it apart from others. Lots of different choices. Great specials. AND they have never messed up my to go orders. read more

Very good flavor, I wish the prices were a little bit more affordable. And it came with a drink. And also that the sandwich was a little bit bigger. But besides that it's pretty good. It's a good try I don't think I'd come back but it was good enough for first try. Thank you read more

We were in the area and decided to give this place a try after seeing it on YouTube. The restaurant is nice, not big, but had a decent amount of seating. We got there around 2:30 and that we're decently busy the entire time we were there. The service was okay. She was friendly, but everything was very slow, we had time so it didn't really matter, but others were getting frustrated. We generally always try a few things so we can leave a good review. We had the tenders and wedges- the tenders were HUGE (1 was enough for me) and do flavorful, great spice level, and crunchy which was my favorite part. Hands down the best tender we have had at any of the chicken places. The wedges were good and a nice change. We had a Nashville taco with a tender and that was good too. We liked the tenders better, but the taco was good. The cheese curds were delicious as was the corn- both can be any spice level. They were out of Mac and cheese which was a bummer because that generally influences how much we like a place, and the comeback sauce was our least favorite, although the honey mustard was AMAZING. Overall a solid 4/5. If you're in the area and like spicy chicken give them a try; they have a big menu, they are priced well, and everything was fresh and good. We didn't care for the shakes, but the food was great. read more

I tried the red chickz for the first time tonight when I had a honey butter sandwich with medium level heat and cheese curds as a side. My quick review is that this was the best tasting chicken sandwich I've ever had. Perfect blend of heat and sweet and incredibly tender. I don't know how it could have been better. The curds were also incredibly tasty, and everything I ordered arrived hot. I finished eating an hour ago, and I'm still sitting here amazed at how great that sandwich was. You have a new customer for life, my absolute highest recommendation! read more

Saw the advertisement on insta gram. So I had to check it out. Turned out to be good affordable eats. read more

The Red Chickz - Chicken Shop Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I was at the mall and decided to give this place a try. I got the chicken sandwich with fries and I will say it's one of (if not the best) chicken sandwiches I've had! Really really good. The staff at the counter were also helpful in explaining the menu (how spicy things are ect). My only complaint was that it took what seemed like FOREVER to get my food. I don't know if they lost my order or had to remake it but, I actually left- went to Sephora, shopped for a while, then came back and my food still wasn't ready! I will definitely give this place another try because the food was so good- hopefully it won't take as long the next time. read more

Best chicken I've ever had! Come here every Thursday with my family and they never fail us!!

Oh wow!!! This place is doing it right! I went today for the first time and the chicken tenders were the best I've ever had. I ordered two and it was the perfect amount although I will get three next time!! The place was busy so I didn't mind waiting and all the workers were super friendly especially the guy that took my order. He had a nose ring and was super pleasant(In case the owners want to give him some kudos). PLEASE come to Temecula!!! You guys would kill it!!! Maybe somewhere off of Rancho California!!! read more

Tasted ok. Waaaay waaaay OVERPRICED for chicken Again it tasted ok.......Myself and 3 kids chicken sandwiches came $89+ with drinks. It tasted OK but won't be returning based on the ridiculous overpriced $$$$$$$$$. For chicken?!?!?!?!?!?. We got equal to about 3 tenders each. Also‼‼‼ guys if you're gonna charge $90 for 12 chicken tenders at least turn on the air conditioner my God in heaven you wanna over Price charge for chicken but you can't even turn on the air conditioner. How can you not afford it when you charge $90 for four chicken sandwiches. It was so hot in there I had to go outside and I actually got sick to my stomach from the heat inside. Are you guys reading this if you're gonna charge so much for chicken tenders turn on the air conditioner for your customers‼‼‼ read more

I was hungry and I saw the line. Generally a line to order food is a good thing, and the Red Chickz line was worth it. This new spot is only weeks old, but they are already serving a quality product with a smile. I ordered the two piece Chicken Tenders, medium heat (spark). The chicken was moist and tender and there was a good amount of heat in the batter. The seasoning is great, the quality of the chicken is great, and the seasoned fries are excellent. what's not to like! The service was friendly and helpful and they offer free refills on fountain drinks. Next time I may try the hot (bonfire) style. I also love that they don't have any hidden fees added to the bill. Great stuff at The Red Chickz. If you are in Carlsbad, get in line! read more

Delicious Nashville's fried chicken place! We ordered the sandwich and tenders. Very large pieces of chicken breast and lots of seasoning. The waffles were really good too with butter and syrup. And wedge fries! Such a nice change from regular fries. The restaurant is actually located outside of the mall. It's attached to the mall but not inside it, we were very confused about that since our map showed it being inside the mall. read more

Service was amazing right when we entered. Vibes was great as well. The place looked cute and kept clean. We got the honey butter chicken, loaded fries, chicken and waffles. Crispy delicious chicken. Flavorful. LARGE portions. Strawberry milkshake with delish read more

Good food and service best spicy chicken sandwich with flavor and amazing potato wedges

I decided to try this restaurant today and food was delicious. Different spice levels to choose from as well as well different sides to pair with the chicken meals. I like how there are other options to choose from other than sandwiches. The only thing I would suggest would tinting the windows or adding blinds since the daylight spares through the windows, making seating next to windows is uncomfortable. read more

Heard about this new place at the mall through the grapevine and was anxious to check them out...even though the "hot chicken" craze has pretty much infiltrated most neighborhoods by now. We have a Dave's Hot Chicken right around the corner from our house. This location used to be the spot for another chicken eatery called Pluck United. I visited Pluck U as part of a Yelp event and I honestly can say I hated it and never went back. It's not surprising they went belly up and I'm glad to say The Red Chickz is a huge step up. We just wanted to try the chicken and ordered a 2 piece chicken tender with the "spark" spice level, and also ordered a 1 piece tender with the "blaze" heat level. Both chickens were great. So juicy on the inside. The Blaze chicken was a bit too spicy for my wife but it didn't bother me at all. I think next time I'll go to the next level. We also ordered a drink. Drinks are just one size and the nice thing is refills are free. Due to the spice level of the Blaze chicken, I had to refill our lemonade at least 3-4 times lol. Someone who I think was the owner came by and greeted us. Also offered to get us another Comeback Sauce, which is outstanding by the way. I asked for the recipe but the owner laughed it off. Little does he know I will find a way to get that recipe :-) They have two unisex bathrooms. One of them had a changing table built in. The bathroom was large and clean. Overall this place is actually quite large...almost too large. The walls are mostly windows, so during a hot day it can be very warm inside. I noticed the workers fanning themselves and I sure hope they turn on the A/C in the future when needed. The hot chicken and big windows will sure make you sweat. read more

The service is 100% amazing. I was beyond amazed with the food quality and taste of the chicken.

Have had a few chances to return to red chickz and they've truly become my favorite chicken spot in the city. The Thursday tender deal is hard to beat, but I try and avoid it during peak hours on Thursday because it can be insanely busy. Wish they had better sauces, but the chicken is so good it doesn't really need it. read more

Been a while since I've done a review and it's only right that I make a comeback and write one for prolly the best chicken sandwich spot in San Diego hands down. My wife and I ordered the Classic Chicken Sandwich, Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Tenders and Chicken and Waffles. Our sides were the cheese curds, potato wedges and coleslaw. When I say that my eyes rolled back after taking the first bite of every single dish, my eyes rolled back like the Undertaker (WWE reference). The chicken was cooked to perfection! The breading was so crispy that you can hear the crunch from the parking lot. The chicken was also complimented with the right amount of seasoning and spice. We chose to stick with the Mild and Medium level for heat and it was just right! The sides were all 10/10; potato wedges reminded me of the ones we all used to have as kids during school lunches in elementary school (yall know the ones *chefs kiss), cheese curds were perfectly cheeesy with each bite (make sure to eat them fresh!), and the coleslaw is a side that nobody will normally want to get but this coleslaw will change that stereotype. Really wish there was a spot down in Chula Vista but the drive is worth it! Shoutout to Mark for being a wonderful host, made my wife and I feel right at home :) can't wait to try the rest of the menu! Till next time! read more

Banging good Nashville hot chicken. My son thinks he is a professional breaded chicken reviewer. On a recent trip through Carlsbad, my son said he saw Red Chickz in his feed and asked if we could go. I was skeptical because it appears to be in a mall, but really it's outside attached. The chicken was awesome. Extra crispy and hot. Highly recommended and would not hesitate to go back. read more

The Red Chickz - Menu - Chicken Shop Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Can I just say- So excited San Diego finally has a Red Chickz!! This Red Chickz is in a prime location within the shops of Carlsbad. There's tons of parking available right out front and luckily the restaurant is located on the outside of the Carlsbad mall - super convenient! The place is totally brand new and Instagram worthy! Lots of seating and sunlight! They also do have their own bathrooms which is a major positive being that it's attached to a mall! The staff is sooo welcoming and friendly! Literally like walking into your families house (if you're cool with your fam like that of course). Everyone was very cheerful, excited to be working and serving hungry customers! THE FOOD! Beware of your food coma, ok? The spice levels on the chicken is so detailed and I love that! Did you know you can also do a spice level for cheese curds too? Well, now you do! The potato wedges were an easy 10/10 along with the sauces. The pickles were fresh and crisp complimenting the burger well. The buns were soft but not soggy which is my biggest burger pet peeve Also- hello beer! Large variety of beer on tap and wine too! Shopping + fried chicken + drinks all in the same place? Can't wait to be back! Most definitely ordering the French toast fried chicken sandwich next- YES, I am ordering it please don't try to talk me out of it! My diet went out the window walking into this fine establishment and I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. read more

The Red Chickz - Original Chickz Sandwich - AMAZING - Chicken Shop Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I have been waiting for this place to open up for the last few months. Omg it was so good. I went tonight and it was their soft opening. The chicken sandwich crave is hot right now, and this place is definitely hot hot hot. Price point was actually lower than I thought it would be. The portions are larger than almost every other chicken sandwich shop I have been to. Chicken was so moist and the outside perfectly crunchy. I tried 3 different sandwiches, the shrimp taco, chicken taco, and Caesar. The staff was super friendly and gave the perfect suggestions. Great addition to the mall!! read more

The experience at Red Chickz in Carlsbad exceeded my expectations. The staff, especially Mark, were soooooo friendly. Bonus: Red Chickz's prices are much more reasonable than you'll find at similar restaurants like Five Guys, which was double the cost. I got the Original Chicken Sandwich at the Blaze spice level - perfect amount of heat for me. But, I think I could handle the Inferno level next time. A funny, yet slightly annoying aspect was the staff's skepticism about a 43-year-old mom (me) handling the spicy Blaze level. They thought it was my 12-year-old son's order, who had the Classic Chicken Sandwich at a Cool level. I can handle the heat better than most! My son loved his Cool level, plain Classic Chicken Sandwich. We also tried the cheese curds, Mild, which are a must-try. Comparing Red Chickz with the famous Hattie B's, The Red Chickz gives them a run for their money. Overall, The Red Chickz is a great combo of great service, reasonable prices, and delicious food. We will be back! read more

I love how the Carlsbad mall has transformed into a beautiful center for shopping, dining, and entertainment. I'd been wanting to visit red chickz since first seeing them in LA, but always had other dining plans getting in the way. Their spice level was lower than expected so I would need their hot at least next time. Tried medium this time and just didn't have enough spice for me. The girl who took our order was patient and helped give options for items we were looking at. The tenders were LARGE and the chicken was all super crispy and crunchy. The disappointment came from the VERY small amount of sauce we got for 75 cents a piece, the waffle was not crispy at all, and the syrup for the waffles was in a little Smuckers cup. I don't need syrup though at least because their honey butter was so yummy. read more

OUTSTANDING The food is fire and they move quick. And you can't beat $3 draft beer all day everyday.

Went for the $2 tender Thursday. Big value. Chicken is very juicy and crispy. The tenders are also huge. I got 5 tenders, but I think 3 or 4 would've been enough. You have to pay for sauce though and it's not much. read more
