    Lunch Special - Spanish rice and steamed veggies. Corn bread was already devoured
    JiaJia T.

    Quick, simple but tasty lunch at a great price! Chicken was flavorful and juicy. Lots of choices for sides. Corn bread was delicious. No frill lunch and great for takeout!

    The friendly staff at chicks & some happy customers

    Chicks is so amazing. The food is delicious healthy the people are wonderful. I can't say enough good things about it. Just take my advice and go there and you'll appreciate it as much as I do.

    My favorite place for the most delicious chicken I've ever experienced. The owner and his staff are incredibly nice and provide a very tasty and healthy meal at a reasonable price. It's abundantly clear why Chick's Natural is voted best chicken in San Diego every year.

    This place is a gem! Came here once and now will come here almost every lunch. The food is huge portions and healthy. The chicken bowl has huge chucks of white meat along with steamed veggies and rice. My burrito plate came with a full size burrito and 2 sides. Great price and a healthy option. More of a quick sit to eat or take out to go. The locals come all the time.

    Expansive food offerings.

    Best fresh roasted chicken dishes in town! I love the great soup value under $5, but try the other dishes too. Friendly owner and staff with great service in a clean casual restaurant or to go.

    Very large chicken burritos. Great option for an affordable and healthy meal. Typically it lasts me two meals. Definitely one of the best values in Encinitas.

    Lunch Special :)

    Grabbed lunch from here a few weeks ago just to try it and it was really nice. The chicken was juicy and a great portion of white meat but I do think it could've used a bit more seasoning. Same thing with the mashed potatoes, just a bit of salt would go a long way. The steamed veggies were good and the side of pickled cabbage was my favorite but did dye my fingers lol.

    Great fresh, high quality and healthy food. The order was ready quickly - freshly steamed veggies and the chicken is tenderloin, freshly chopped. They offer a selection of sauces to add to your bowl. Great portion size too. This place is a good lunch or dinner option. The rotisserie chicken family packs are also great.

    Support them! The people who work here are super nice and their food is award winning. Been eating here since I was a kid and it's still so bomb.

    Lunch special for $6.99 Nov 9 2022.

It mixes industrial and classic touches with cozy leather booths, stylish décor, and an open, lively energy that still feels relaxed. It's polished enough for a special occasion but comfortable enough to linger over one more coffee, think business casual vibes. If the weather's nice, the patio is a great option too. The real MVP was our server, Katelynn. She handled all 8 of us by herself the entire time and never missed a beat. Our drinks were always fresh, and she stayed a step ahead of the table. Great solo performance. I split two entrées with my bro, which I highly recommend if you can't decide: California Burrito: Very savory, with creative sauces that set it apart from the usual breakfast burrito. Eggs Benedict: Well put together with quality ingredients. It's a classic done right. Potatoes: Fresh and delicious. I don't normally care for breakfast potatoes, and these still won me over. We left full, happy, and already planning a return trip. Bonus: The Forum Carlsbad shops are right nearby if you want to walk it off afterward, which we did. Cheers!

My usual order (to share between 2 people) is the half bird (5 pieces of chicken) and the mini biscuits with miso maple butter. The mini biscuits are tasty and moist, and the miso butter complements them well, adding the perfect amount of sweetness! However, both of the chicken thigh pieces were quite dry. The restaurant provides a self-serve sauce bar with plenty of sauce options. They also provide large paper towel rolls at each table as well as multiple sinks located around the restaurant so that it is easy to clean your hands after eating! The servers are very attentive.

Aside from that, I really just want to talk about that pizza.

You wouldn't know there were beats in it aside from the color, it tastes pretty close to a standard, chickpea hummus. Found inside the harvest market deli cooler with the snacks & drinks near the prepared salads to grab & go items. They have lots of fresh produce, fresh bread, and packaged cracker chip items to purchase and enjoy with it. It was cool creamy and refreshing. I enjoyed it with some fresh artisan bread. Nice filling, healthy snack. The market has a variety of fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers, including edible ones, a small Café with hot and cold, freshly made drinks, including the option of ones with vegan plant milk, as well as a small baked goods case full of vegan cookies and muffins. Nice selection of interesting drinks, including Matcha & Ube. A nice selection of vegan items for sale. This very modern up scale barn is on a spacious property with ample outdoor hard seating, including individual chairs, both metal and wood picnic tables with benches, hardwood Adirondack chairs around a large fire pit in the back. If you prefer soft seating like me, there are only a few on the property, a couch by the outdoor fireplace inside up in the restaurant and balcony. The outdoor pizza kitchen has a variety of made to order cooked in front of you pizzas including vegan (must ask for vegan cheese substitute) or gluten-free egg, white and cauliflower crust. The Cook said most of the pizzas can be made with the vegan cheese. Included a few nice options with pesto sauce, truffle, mushroom, and more. After seeing a few come out out of the oven with the bubbled crust, I'm looking forward to returning and giving one a try. It seemed to be the favorite menu item of the outdoor diners, as the tables were full of them. Parking is on a dirt and gravel stretch so skip the sandals and flip-flops & wear closed toed tennis shoes. There are walking paths around the properties so you can get in a nice stroll before having a nibble and a drink. The path around the property you'll see their crops of produce and flowers growing as well as the animals they have: horses, goats pigs. Upstairs after 4 PM, they have a nice clean-looking modern style restaurant featuring a nice menu with a variety of six vegetarian and one vegan pasta option. The hostess, who claimed she was also vegetarian was quick to point out all the vegetarian options some can be converted to vegan by omitting the cheese or dairy ingredient. There's a nice tall bar upstairs with stools and one TV for watching news or sports. Apparently they have a brunch weekends only with a menu that also looks very inviting. The property has a large selection of bottled wines, a micro brewery and a coffee bean brewery. Family friendly, a nice place to go to get a bite and drink, stretch your legs, enjoy fresh air (although a bit dusty near parking lot). Country music is playing loudly in and around the property. We have an expanse of grass for picnic in a play area that's very natural and organic and appearance and a glass house which opens up onto a hard scape patio available for a private event events. The people were friendly and welcoming. It's a spot of natural plot of country near the coast line in Encinitas.

Be forewarned though that the portion was very generous & is probably enough for most people to share. I had the fresh mushroom, goat cheese and spinach omelette. It came with fried potatoes and a scone. I appreciated that both the mushrooms and spinach were clearly fresh & not overcooked, & the amount of goat cheese was perfect.

There's parallel street parking throughout the area, so you might get lucky and find a spot nearby. I ended up parking on one of the side streets, which worked out perfectly. I came here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was definitely busy. We had to wait a little while for a table because several tables still needed to be cleaned before they could seat new guests. The staff was incredibly friendly, though, and we were seated as soon as they could. It did take about 15 minutes before a server was able to come over and take our order, but the restaurant was completely packed, so it's something to keep in mind if you're in a hurry. After spending the day at the beach, we were really just in the mood for drinks. I ordered the Blood Orange Margarita, which can be served with Tajín, sea salt, or no rim at all. It was really good and definitely on the stronger side, which I appreciated. My only complaint was that there was a bit too much ice, but the flavor itself was great. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, large open windows that let in plenty of fresh air, and a fun, lively vibe that makes it a great place to relax after a beach day. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the ambiance and cocktails, just be prepared for a little wait if you visit during peak hours.
