This place has been on my radar for a while now. I'm glad I finally got a chance to try it out. Main Chick is located in Clairemont Square, in the food court area, next to the movie theater. Easy enough to find and no problem with parking.
The place has a small dining area, but there is also seating outside in the general food court area. I looked up the combos before hand, so knew what I wanted to order. I ordered the combo with the chicken sandwich, chicken tender, and fries.
Hot, juicy, and tender chicken. Not lacking in batter or overly battered, for me it was perfectly battered and had a nice crispiness and I loved the dry rub or whatever they seasoned the chicken with.
The chicken sandwich was basically that delicious chicken tender and two lightly toasted buns with cole slaw. It had me thinking, man this is pretty good! As far as spice level, naked seems to be mild spice and I think mild is probably medium. So naked is truly not naked. I usually order the lowest spice level before advancing. Next time, I'll probably go with mild.
The fries are crinkle cut and were pretty good also. I believe they sprinkle the same dry rub they use on the chicken on the fries. Nice crisp texture and flavor.
Service was good. The woman at the counter was pleasant, friendly, and answered my questions.
I really enjoyed the food here. I'm a fan and will definitely return. Interestingly, I found out that there is another location that is closer to me down Linda Vista Road. So I'll probably try that location next time I'm craving some delicious chicken.
Main Chick rates a solid 4 / 5 for me and I am a fan that will be returning.
