The Best Fried Chicken in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"This growing hot chicken enterprise is one of the most recognizable names in the game at the moment. Thankfully, fans who aren’t here for the heat can still find lots to like in the restaurant’s non-spicy fried chicken, available as combos with tenders, sandwiches, or quarter bird pieces. The best part is that there are a few locations across LA to score some Main Chick fried chicken." - Rebecca Roland

New in town, I want to try something unique around Carlsbad. It was good experience but short staff but reasonable speed and ordering system. Free water! I ordered #1 combo which one sandwich and two tenders, coming with fries. Crispy and juicy chicken! Well cooked! The medium hot(spicy) was more than enough for me. Mild was good! If you are not a person who can handle much of hot or spicy, I recommend less than mild. They have lunch special price on Mon-Wed Or Mon-Thur 2-5pm

Ordered the spicy chicken it was spicy but the one thing that took away from the sandwich was it was too much of the slaw mixture o it. I asked for pickles to be added and they put 2 pickles on it. The macaroni was cheesy but needed pepper. Overall wasn't worth the price they charge but the food wasn't bad...

I don't typically take the time to write reviews, but I felt compelled to call out two very low-iq reviewers on here. Landon DeCosta and Henry Voros, this place serves HOT chicken. It's quite literally in the name, hot-chicken. Leaving a negative review, because you couldn't handle the spice, is so moronic (and misleading of the food's quality) that I have to put your intelligence into question. The spice is on par with other chains serving the same type of food, and the quality is excellent. I will continue supporting this business.

Really enjoyed your meal here. I have really been waiting for a good hot chicken place to open nearby and this by far has the best tasting chicken around. I personally love the mild and it’s so palatable. I tried the Mac and cheese on our second visit and it was really good. Seems like they could use more employees in the front helping with so many DoorDash and Uber eats drivers coming in and out. Took several minutes just to get several packets of honey. Also do yourself a favor and put honey on the chicken! It’s super good and I was surprised how seriously tasty it is. Will be back for sure.

First time being here... The place looks clean and "hip" The place also has a dead feeling, like a funeral home inside. No staff. I didn't get any acknowledgment from the staff walking in. The girl was maybe restocking something and didn't look at me, didn't SAY ANYTHING, and went to the back. It's like they avoid interaction. You order on a screen... one screen. Sure, it's easy to order, but I ordered extra sauces $1.50 each... and didn't need them. Already comes with sauces. The crispy chicken sandwich. It's fresh, It's 120° be careful. It's very crunchy. It seems like it's double fried, deep spicy heat on this chicken. It's better than others side by side, but is all this effort needed? You live here, you're gonna get a spicy chicken fix. It's just so awkward 🙃 with very little communication. It's not a welcoming place.

If I could put negative stars I would. The cashier who took our order said she would call our name out in about 10 minutes. We sat down, she knew we were waiting for a to go order, and we ended up waited 20+ minutes until we decided to ask about our order. It was sitting on the shelf getting cold while the cashier and cooks were chit chatting in the back. Not to mention the food was cold, tasted nasty and fishy like old dirty oil was being used. I got a foodbourne illness from the chicken. I called about the experience and the so called manager “Ricardo” had no remorse and did not offer any sort of compensation. They care more about money than the customer. Go to Dave’s hot chicken. Save yourself the trouble. This place is disgusting.

Forget Raising Cane's, Dave's hot chicken is mildly authentic, But after living in the south for a few years this is the closest thing I have tried in a while, delicious sides, delicious meat very juicy, and that rub is exactly what I've been searching for. Fernando went out of his way to help customize my order I really appreciate you guys Main Chick is Must See TV.

Was so excited to try this place. Got spicy chicken tenders and Mac and cheese. Their spicy isn't what I consider spicy, also the seasoning has something sweet added. Did not care for it. When I finally got my Mac and cheese, (came 5 mins after my tenders) I was disappointed to find I got macaroni soup. Not Mac and cheese. Flavor was okay but it was so watery I couldn't eat it. Sadly, I will not be back nor recommend

Updated review - I finally made it in person to the shop to have everything fresh! The fries are even better than normal, still super consistent and crunchy and seasoned perfectly. The chicken was also amazing as always, but I tried something new since seeing the menu, and that's the banana Nutella cheesecake. Ohemgee, definitely one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had! So creamy with a subtle banana flavor, and Nutella swirl to kick it up a notch.. this will definitely be a go to when my husband picks up next time! Staff was super friendly, and the food came out quickly. Prices are also pretty decent, and they have a few offers for lunch specials and happy hour for a few bucks off certain combos. The restaurant is fast casual, and there are a good number of tables if you want to dine in. Definitely give it a try when you're in the area!

I've been wanting to check this place out in awhile but have always forgotten about it. A few days ago, we were in the neighborhood and decided to drop in. I'm glad we did, I got the medium Chicken thighs and it was made fresh to order. It was spicy, crunchy, savory and the seasoned crinkle fries made it a complete meal. The sauce was delicious, I tripled and double dipped many times per chicken bite, that's how good it was. This is a straight forward, not pretentious, joint that has a few tables but a lot of people took their orders to go, but the flavors speaks for itself.

Main chick is hands down my favorite hot chicken place in north county. The chicken is always super juicy with a nice light layer of batter. I got combo #3 which has two sandwiches, fries, and a sauce. The sandwiches were delicious and had a little bit of a kick (I got mild). Fries were crispy and well seasoned. Everyone should try this place out! Way better than dave's hot chicken imo.

Came here for lunch with my hubby. We beat the lunch crowd, so we got our food quickly. The food was very good and served freshly cooked. Piping hot. I was quite surprised at the Ube Cheesecake dessert, delicious and creamy. I like the roomy dining area. It was clean and organized. This location is a strip mall but with plenty of parking. It does get quite busy in this area since it is not only in a residential area but with business parks nearby as well. The front staff could use some improvements in their greeting the customers.

Always good. I've never been even slightly disappointed with their sandwiches. Dont normally order the fires but did tonight and they had the perfect crispy texture. Best crinkle cut fries Ive had. The seasoning is good but if you dont like things too salty you may want to ask to cut it down if they can. The MC sauce, being sweet, does tend to balance that a bit.

Mild chicken tenders was really good. The fries were pretty tasty as well. Price wasn't too bad. There is a happy hour special. The ube cheesecake is definitely worth getting. The dining area is roomy, it can get busy at lunchtime. There is plenty of parking. If you're in the area give it a try if you want some hot chicken.

I went today thinking it might be an alternative to Chick-fil-A. It really isn't, huge chicken strips, which is fun a ton of choices in how hot you want your chicken so that's good. Plus a lot of other sandwiches and other things that you could order. So I went three chicken strips with fries and a drink. Pretty simple. Service was easy and quick although it took a little longer than other places to get your order but when you did get it, it was HOT! Not spice hot but temperature hot. The sauce is a combination Chick-fil-A with maybe a little more spice to it less sweet but still good. Fries are crinkle cut which I like a little salty, but I'll deal with that next trip so overall good...... But not exactly my deal. If you like spicy, this is your place. Massive parking lot so easy and easy out.

Honestly there's nothing really bad to say except for how expensive the food is. I guess that's to be expected these days anyway. I just didn't feel that the price of the meal was worth it. The fries were good and the chicken was decent. It was just nothing special to me. I liked the signs inside and the service was fine but it's just not somewhere I would try again. If you're into all the chicken spots then you will probably like it so come see for yourself. The people I went with enjoyed it more than me. So I'm probably the outlier.

It hits the spot if you're craving hot chicken. Their sauce is addicting. And fries are perfectly seasoned. They are made to order so don't expect to grab and go. I usually call in or place my order for pick up online and give some extra time so you're not waiting too long. Plaza is really busy so if you're coming during lunch time parking might be a little difficult.

This place was great food was good. I order the 2 sliders hot with fries. The flair was there the sandwich wasn't dry there house sauce that goes with everything is amazing the fries where not cooked all the way but the sandwich made up for the fries. I ordered DoorDash so can't say bunch about service. But food was great!!

Yelp
The chicken is so good so are the fries I love the sauce. It's a little pricey, but you get a good amount of food for the price. Orders are ready pretty quickly and the staff are always nice. I took off a star because it can be really salty.

As a fried chicken connoisseur, this definitely top 3, possibly even #1. The chicken is incredibly moist with a crunchy outside that melts in your mouth. The workers in the back always seem to be enjoying themselves and come to the register in a timely and polite manner, never had a negative experience with one of the employees. The music choice is always fire too because I was catch myself humming along with my friends in the store. Overall 10/10, I think the quality of food + amount of fries/quality seasoning per combo more than makes up for the price.

Very torn! Pros: We ordered the chicken sandwich, a tender, fries, and Mac n cheese! The chicken sandwich was the perfect size (smaller than a regular chicken sandwich). They used a chicken strip for the sandwich but it was very juicy and nice and hot. We got the medium spice and would get spicier next time. The fries were nice and crunchy! The MC sauce and ranch were very good! Cons: They said they didn't have any water cups, even though they had soda cups which was odd. All sauces are pretty expensive and the ranch cup was not even filled half way! The Mac n cheese took 35 mins to come out. It came out after we finished our entire meal. It was delicious though. Lastly, the Diet Coke machine was actually filled with root beer which was very odd. Another lady said the same thing too! Overall the food was pretty good, but there were so many other things, I don't think we will be back.

This is hands down the best chicken sandwich place in North San Diego. The chicken was perfectly tender, juicy, and moist. I went for the spicy option, and it was so flavorful and delicious! The wait was a bit long since the line was pretty packed, but totally worth it. We got lucky and snagged a small table by the entrance, which was great. The workers were super nice and really added to the overall experience. It can get a little hot inside when it's crowded, but they keep the doors open for airflow, so it's manageable. Overall, amazing food and great service!

Do NOT get the Supreme spice level. I'm not kidding.. They make you sign a waiver if you order anything "Supreme." The waiver is a gimmick but the spice/heat level is no gimmick. I can tolerate almost any spice level and this might have been the spiciest thing I've ever had in my life. It's almost inedible. I still love the sandwiches and the fries are EXCELLENT. I could eat a thousand of these fries. They are crisp and well-seasoned. But no more Supreme for me. Don't do it.

First off the food is a 5 star no question, this place 100% puts any other chicken sandwich place to shame. The not so good part is the price, and how they charge so much extra for their sauces! $1.79 for some damn honey??? $.79 for the Main sauce??? You're already charging WAAAAY too much for the meal, but then you have to rip folks for your dipping sauces? Maybe don't be in Bressi Ranch if you can't afford the rent there. Just because you're in Carlsbad doesn't mean everyone that works in the area has Carlsbad money. You're serving fried chicken for God sakes! Be better! PS. Your staff always look miserable and rarely smile ever, maybe give some of that cash you're making off the dipping sauces to your employees?

I love this place, it was my first time and from the moment I walked in it was a good time. The team working here is wonderful. When I walked in I was greeted with a warm welcome, and when I asked for suggestions they told me the most popular item, which was the Combo #1, and I chose the mild heat which has a very good heat. (I would say if you're a person that likes spicy food, then, whichever one you think you want, go one heat level below because mild was personally a medium to me.) If you're not a fan for hot chicken, then you can order your meal "naked," and it won't be spicy. This restaurant is a smaller restaurant that produces big flavor! They have two tables outside and a few more inside. It's a chill atmosphere and they played great music the whole time I was there! Highly recommend visiting this place. From food to service, they are awesome!!

As today is National fried chicken day, we decided to order lunch from here. I ordered directly from Yelp... Ube Cheesecake Crinkle cut fries Creamy coleslaw Combo #5 (Spicy) My chicken Combo #5 came with 2 chicken legs (drumstick with attached thye), crinkle cut fries, one slice of pickle, 2 slices of bread and 2 sauce containers. Spicy was definitely Spicy. The fries were perfectly spiced and delicious. It will definitely be 2 meals for me. My husband loves his fries and coleslaw. He never says "we should order from here again" but he did! He really loved it. I love Ube anything and was glad to see they have Ube Cheesecake. It was incredible! My dog, husband and I enjoyed our little dessert. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu.

I like me a good chicken sandwich. From the basic with mayo and lettuce on a bun at Jack in the Box (I miss you Chicken Supreme), to Crack Shack which set the standard after opening up in San Diego all those years ago. Since then, sandwich spots which serve only chicken seems be sprouting up from food trucks to holes in the wall all around the county. For my birthday, I wanted to try it out and we ended up coming to Main Chick here in Bressi Ranch. The decor is sparse, a white brick motif that reflects the beaming red of their neon sign, giving the whole place an oppressive, red sun of Krypton feel. On the plus side, however, the floor to the bathroom has an extensive hopscotch grid which the kids and I put to enthusiastic use. I had a Mild Combo #3, splitting the two sandwiches with my 10 year old son. The bun and breading were both sugary, the sweetness very much on display, balancing out with the little heat coming in from the sauce. Fried well, not too greasy, with a nice and tangy slaw, and overall all it was pretty good. The fries, on the other hand, were both over-seasoned and seasoned too long after they came out of the fryer; meaning that what was sprinkled on didn't stick and ended up just pooling in the bottom of the basket. My daughter had a side of their Mac & Cheese, which she sadly didn't like. It wasn't bad, though a bit unimaginative (I prefer a good baking with bread crumbs and a salty protein like bacon or ham mixed in), she's just 4 years old and fixated on Kraft. All in all, Main Chick is pretty average. It's a bit on the pricey side for the quality and flavors of what you get. But, it'll still do in a pinch or satisfy a group of hungry kids looking for something kitchy beyond a fast food burger. If I ever get to come back this way again, I think a sandwich with more than just mild heat may please me a bit more.

Updating my review as of today. Check your food before you leave ! Soon as you leave they don't care ! Tonight we were served kids meals at regular price. Completely disappointed after our take out and getting home. This was not main chick food per usual. Extremely small pieces of chicken tenders., like 3 bite pieces. 2 pieces did not even equal one normal piece. So small they were not even juicy probably because they probably couldn't cook them right. Same chicken in our sandwiches too so it wasn't just a one off thing. Mac N Cheese was cold too, had to reheat. Their response was it's a supplier issue. I talked with the manager and explained that you can't serve these to people. They're going to call you and complain. You need to at least double the amount of chicken. Now we're out $45 still hungry and going to another establishment. After talking to both the manager and owner they did not meet my expectations of a refund so we can go somewhere else and actually get full for dinner but offered a Mac n cheese side on the house. SMH. Lost us as a customer. Won't be back. These pieces are not slightly smaller. They're not even half the size of a normal tender. I said double not quadruple. You should have denied these pieces from your supplier. Unacceptable to serve at that price. Imagine 6 of the pieces on my last picture with fries for $30

The food here is good. The service is usually slow, which is fine since they seem to make things fresh. The front of house people usually appear pained to be there and confused in general. It's small, cute...overall fine...but the two stars are a reflection of how much they seem to dislike their customers. For example, their reward program only allows you to earn points at $15 and they don't count tax. But the most popular combo is $14.99. So if you don't get a drink, you don't get any credit for any money you've spent. It's a little thing but it's just indicative of how much they seem to appreciate your business. The food is good, though. Parking can be a challenge during peak hours due to all the other businesses in the area.

Dropping a star due to the bad service. The worker seemed to not really enjoy being there, but they were patient with us when we were ordering. However, besides the service, Main Chick Hot Chicken is really incredible! The quality of the chicken is really amazing, it is so juicy and fresh. We tried the combo #1 - 1 chicken sandwich, 1 chicken tender, and fries. We got the chicken medium spicy and it was pretty spicy!! Also be warned, they put the seasoning on the fries as well, so it was a little overwhelming with all the medium seasoning on everything. Next time, I am going to see if I can get the fries without the seasoning. Overall, it was a good experience and we will come back due to how good the quality of the chicken was!

This place is goooood. I really liked the food but the vibe is underwhelming. You walk in and it looks like it's going to be a happenin' spot. The music is current hip hop and the décor is bright and poppin'. BUT, you just don't feel it here in this spot. The employees are nice, but obviously not excited to be there. I have been twice and will probably go back because the chicken is good. But it's not a lively spot at all. The Great - The chicken is good, moist and tender. The Good - The bred is really soft and fresh. The Bad - I don't think they've figured out their spice ratio - or they have just punked us by giving us a hotter than requested tender. The Ugly - The whole atmosphere of this place is just kind of - blah.

"Chicken wing Chicken wing Hot dog and bologna Chicken and macaroni Chillin' with my homies..." So when our Main Chick order arrived I found myself a singing the "Chicken Wing" song! My gosh this place is YUMMY!!!! I first tried Hot Chicken when we were in Nashville working on the CMA's and have been in love with it ever since. Mind you, I like "hot" but Momma didn't raise no fool, especially if I'm surfing after eating it and don't wanna be a feeding the fish lethal cayenne pepper farts, if ya know what I mean! Our Grubhhub order arrived early and everything was still piping hot and smelling amazing! OK, the Crinkle Cut Fries here are the bomb! They are very crispy, savory, and perfectly salty. The Chicken Sandwich is just as good as Crack Shack's, only about half the price! What I love about the Tenders is that they are very crunchy on the outside but STILL moist and juicy on the inside. YUM!!! I can't begin to tell you how many other places serve you dried out Tenders (probably because they were frozen). And the Leg Quarters, OMG, OMG, OMG! They are really GOOD sized and perfectly fried. Crunchy, luscious, and sweet layers of dark meat greet you after your very first bite. I seriously could live on these, and probably will! Now, let's talk the sides...The Creamy Cole Slaw was brilliantly fresh, not too sweet, and very crunchy. As for the Mac and Cheese, YES PLEASE! I'm a cheese snob and I've not had better Mac & Cheese than Main Chick's. It was hot, creamy, not overly seasoned, and just the right saucy thickness so that you could dip their Crinkle Cut Fries in the sauce (I have no shame). Every attention to culinary detail was covered brilliantly in our order! As for the Spice Level, some in my office like it hot while others are vanilla. I truly appreciate that Main Chick gives you the option of ordering your chicken "Naked", without any spice. To me, it's delicious either way. My assistant producer likes it super spicy and he was in heaven with the Spicy level, saying that it was just like he was back in Tennessee! He's got cojones because there ain't no way I could eat a huge batch of Spicy Hot Chicken and go surfing afterwards otherwise it'll be... "Tiny bubbles (tiny bubbles) Make me warm all over With a feeling that I'm gonna Love you till the end of time..."

Lord have mercy I love this place. When Angry Chicks caught fire in Oside I started driving to Linda Vista in San Diego to get my Nashville Chicken fix. Well a year later AC is still being rebuilt and Main Chick opens in Cbad. And Guesssssss whatttt?!?? Door Dash delivers Main Chick!!!!!!!!!!!! AC would never do that. Other upsides is Main Chick let's you order dark meat AND cheese on your slider. The cheese was tasty! A white flavorful masterpiece! Love the taste of the slaw and the Mac n cheese. (I like ACs more tbh). Anyway, yum yum yum!!!!

We've been here a ton since they opened and I just realized I haven't reviewed it. The chicken is my favorite hot chicken of the places I have tried and the fries are absolutely addictive. The Mac and cheese is also really good. The staff has always been friendly when we go and the restaurant is kept really organized and clean. Parking can be tricky because there's a lot of restaurants in the shopping center and it can be a little crowded during the lunch hour but overall we've been really happy with our experiences.

Made a simple order for a combo number 1 and all I got was fries. Not sure how you can mess that up that badly. So I paid almost 20$ for fries only. I called and they said there was nothing they can do to fix my order. Don't come here go to Davies the food is better and you will get what you ordered

Decided to check this spot out with the Mrs. for lunch for the 1st time. 1. Barely greeted. The staff all seemed like they were put off to be working. 2. Way overpriced. Food for 2, no drink $42 3. No water cups (only $3 bottles offered/forced)... as other customers arrived and were eating, they all made the same remark and they were all annoyed by that. Every single one! Food was good. But overall experience ruined it. Won't be back. Tip to owner... Offer water cups! I mean, you literally have a self serve fountain right there AND you're serving spicy chicken. If you're going to charge that price for the food, don't cheap out on that.

Our service was actually great. The girl who took our order was really nice and helpful. I personally didn't like the food. There was so much dry seasoning on everything. I mean TONS of seasoning! We ordered the medium level of spice on the dark meat sandwich. The spice level was hot (hotter and less tasty than the Firebird at crack shack). There was only a very tiny bit of coleslaw on the sandwich and it was very limp and vinegar only based (I personally prefer it with Mayo). I also got a grizzle piece and some floppy chicken skin which was not appetizing. We also ordered fries. It was a large size (easily split between several people), but again, excessive seasoning on the fries. It was probably at least 1/4 cup pure seasoning between the fries and sandwiches. I was hoping to like this place, but sadly we won't be back.

Main chick, more like bad side chick. Hostile employee, tasteless chicken, and msg filled fries. I had to go to another nearby Nashville chicken place to cleanse my palette. Wouldn't recommend for anyone Oh yeah they also don't provide water.

Main Chick was reco'd by a local business person and well, she was right. Delicious, fresh, everything from the bun to the coleslaw to hot honey (extra $, worth it), wait, and yes, the ranch (extra $, absolutely worth it). Fries are great, a little salty but ok - so I back off on the salt intake the next day. Yes, if you go there and you're thinking to yourself I want pristine service dangit, I'm the king/queen and I should be greeted and treated like the golden shoes I walk in - you're selecting the wrong box- you're there for the FOOD. But I guarantee you your chicken will be cooked to perfection every single time. I'm not saying they should continue this nonchalant customer service. I'm saying, just get your food and say thank you. And eat it like you just won lotto.

Food is great the serving sizes are more than enough, I always have left overs and it's just as good reheated. The mild is my favorite perfect amount of spice. I have had good interactions with all the staff there. They do a great job of keeping the place clean or answering any questions about the menu. I definitely would recommend!

Nothing special, service was nonexistent, fries were cold, waiting time was long, and prices are very expensive for what you expect and what you actually get. Seasoning reminded me of the cinnamon challenge that has you coughing and not enjoying it. Hard to even find napkins or sauces that they keep behind the counter. Not impressed. The Red Chicks in carlsbad mall down the road is far better all around

They have some of the best fries I've ever had! They are crispy and I think they had a slight dusting of their spice mix. The chicken is tender and crispy. I ordered the Combo #3 (chicken tenders). I'm diabetic and as much as I think the sandwich would help solve my spice wimp factor I just need to say no to those carbs. I ordered the mild and after one of the generous size tenders I had to call it a day and take it home for later. Perhaps ordering them 'naked' would help but I fear I'll miss the spices; so we'll see. The only other concern is it seems a bit pricey given lower cost fast food options steps away. I have a hard time spending more than $20 for a meal and a drink. It's good and the rating reflects that but ouch.

We lived in Nashville until this year and we were skeptical about hot chicken so far away but this was really good. Better than Hattie B's, IMO. Right up there with Pepperfire. The fries were better than most as well. The hot is very hot. Everyone in our group was happy with their heat level. If you're a first time hot chicken eater I'd start with mild. We'll be back!

Updated review- The owner reached out to me from the last time we were there- where the cooks messed up the spicy and made my husband cry from their not-so-mild seasoning they put on there. As I previously stated, I'm not a white meat kind of gal, so when I was forced to eat white meat because my husband couldnt eat his food. It was okay. But I sure enjoyed my chicken legs, it was juicy, flavorful and fresh! I would go easy on the spice levels. Their cheese cakes were very tiny but each bite was delicious.

Prices are pretty high for combos and don't include drinks. Was kinda disappointed that you can't sub mac & cheese for fries. The ranch wasn't free either. Regarding the food quality itself, it was pretty good. I ordered combo 1, got the mild level since I don't have a high spice tolerance and it was perfect. It was good with the honey too. Fries and sauce are also tasty.

Decided to check out this new place, because I have heard how good hot chicken is. They do have an indoor sitting area and a couple of tables outside. You walk up and order and then wait for your order to be made. Since I have never tried it before I decide just to try the plain chicken, as I didn't want anything too spicy for my child as well. She ordered the tenders and I got the chicken sandwich, which came with VERY seasoned fries. It took a good twenty minutes to get our order. So if you are in hurry this is not the place for you. My friends recently went and they waited for a good twenty-thirty minutes for their order. With that said the chicken was really good, moist, and flavorful. My daughter loved the tenders and my chicken sandwich was great. The fries are good but really seasoned heavily, so if you don't like that let them know.

Found this place in Bressi Ranch last week and I'm pleased with this restaurant. The chicken has a great coating, crispy and well balanced. The seasoning is different from the usual fare at KFC or Popeye's, so it's a good change of pace from those. The menu is short and simple: chicken sandwiches and strips and the french fries are nicely seasoned. Although I love the fries, I would love it if this place offered sides in the place of french fries, without having to buy it extra. The dining room has an industrial vibe and was clean during my visits. It's nice to have an alternative chicken joint in the hood as well.
