Love love this fried chicken, we usually order for pick up and service is very quick. Price is reasonable for the big pieces and they have many options or combinations to order that makes it easier for us. read more

The food was quite good, although on the pricey side. I appreciate that I wasn't charged extra for ketchup! However, I did notice that the dining area could have been cleaner, which seems like a matter for the staff to address. It felt like there were too many people in the kitchen, which may have contributed to the lack of attention to the dining space. Additionally, I missed having a customer greeter; relying on a kiosk can take away from the personal touch of the dining experience. Overall, there are some areas for improvement that could enhance the overall experience. read more

Good service, clean, quiet spot. Their fries are the best! #3 with two chicken sandwiches Is enough to share!! read more

Main Chick Hot Chicken - #3 Two chicken sandwiches with fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Northridge, California

This was my first time at this location, and I was really disappointed. The fries were completely stale and no seasoning, not soft at all, and honestly tasted like they were left over from yesterday. Don't get me started on the sandwich. Stale. The Woodland Hills location is much better. Not sure I'd return here. read more

Horrible chicken and it was tuff as hell. Breading would come off instantly with such a powerful paprika flavor it overpowered everything. Random areas of the restaurant smelled like sewage and the soda station served uncarbonated and warm soda with zero flavor (don't know how that's possible) customer service was VERY weak with workers giving attitude. Somehow they messed up ranch, tasting rancid. Only genuinely positive thing I can say about this place was that the fries were decent and it had a mediocre and average ambience. I would NEVER come here again and suggest anyone who asks me about it not too!!!! read more

Main Chick Hot Chicken - Horrible atrocious chicken tenders - Chicken Shop Near Me - Northridge, California

I love hot chicken so I wanted to try Main chick since I pass it all the time. This location is in the same lot as Super King. This is location is very clean with lots of open space to eat inside. Orders are placed on the kiosk. The menu is pretty standard to its name (chicken sandwhich, chicken tenders or chicken (bone in). They have five levels of hotness" that you can request. (They have a wall of photos of the customers who ate the hottest level 'Supreme'.... Bold lol). I ordered a leg and thigh with fries (medium hotness). Medium had a nice kick to it and the chicken was crispy and good. Nice amount of fries. Not sure if I'm brave enough to try supreme but I will be back to try more options on the menu. The service was excellent! read more

First time trying Main chicken. Great quality. My best friend and I both got combo #1 which is a sandwich, a tender, fries and a drink. We also got a side of macaroni and cheese. The chicken was crispy and delicious. We got mild and medium heat. A fair warning to anyone who can't handle spicy foods. The medium is very spicy. Luckily for us we love a good kick of heat. Mac n cheese was amazing creamy and soft. Customer service was excellent and very prompt. Cooks were nice as well! Overall great review. read more

Is MC Hot Chicken better than Howlin's Rays? Definitely not! But is it better than Dave's Hot Chicken? Absolutely! I got MC Sandwich (spicy) and it was delicious when I balanced the spice with the sweetness of the MC sauce (their mayo sauce). The sandwich was kind of small though, so definitely consider grabbing a side of fries or one of the other side options (coleslaw, Mac & cheese). My husband got the tenders and the skin/batter was overcooked. It tasted like they were cooked in old oil. Maybe he got a bad batch? The fries were decent. Parking in this plaza is always a mess so be prepared to roll your eyes at crazy drivers.. They have online order for pick up. Definitely recommend it! read more

Can never go wrong with this spot. I used to go to the one in Woodland Hills since it was closer to us but since the Northridge one opened, it's super convenient! Parking gets a little packed since it's located in a busy plaza next to Northridge mall. There's a DSW and Daiso along with a supermarket and other food spots. Almost always a struggle finding parking. Lots of seating at this location and service is always quick! Love the beautiful mural on the right wall when you walk in. We typically get the combo #1 and #2 with extra MC sauces because you can never have too much. We tried their Mac n cheese for the first time today and topped it off with some paprika at home and it was incredible! Super delicious. Love this place, especially the fries. You don't come across good crinkle fries too often and these are perfectly seasoned and crisp! IG: @ammysalamii read more

Main Chick Hot Chicken - Combo 1 - MC Sandwich, Tender, Fries IG: @ammysalamii - Chicken Shop Near Me - Northridge, California

So I ordered this and expected a savory and salty Nashville style type of chicken. But unfortunately it was not. The chicken is kinda sweet and so are the fries n the dips. If sweet is your cup of tea then that's great but damn even the pickles bro. Like not everything has to have sugar in it. Other than that portions are good but yea pls just put in the descriptions that the chicken is sweet!!! read more

There's very minimal differences between Main Chick and Dave's Hot, I feel. Maybe Main Chick has better fries? But it's been years since I've gone to Dave's. Medium is actually pretty spicy so Mild is my preference. read more

This place is good. Typically order the medium tenders and Mac and cheese. Also like the medium tender sandwich. This place is muuuch better than Dave's hot chicken. Not as good as Howlin Rays, but definitely our 2nd favorite hot chicken place. read more

I'll start off with the bad because it's the reason for my rating. There was the FOULEST smell inside the restaurant. Right when I walked in it smelled like old fermented cabbage and poop mixed together it was so bad I actually couldn't stay inside to order I had to have my husband order for me while I waited outside. (I almost canceled getting the food because the smell was so disgusting but my husband wanted me to try it because it's one of his favorites) When we went back in to pick up the order the smell seemed to have gotten worse and I had to run outside and actually vomited in the trash can outside. Super embarrassing and utterly disgusting. I had to wait 30 min after just to be able to eat. Totally ruined the experience for me. The only other negative is the size of the sandwich was on the smaller side. The spice level even on the mild was quite spicy and had a nice kick to it. The sandwich itself was delicious, slightly sweet and great seasoning. The fries were excellent, crispy, well seasoned and perfectly done.' Hoping whatever issue caused that smell is fixed for next time. You order on a kiosk and there's only people cooking in the back. read more

Had the sandwich. It was actually pretty good. Very tasty!! But serving was small. I don't eat a lot. It's like a lil bigger than a slider.

On the way we stopped to get this and I ordered medium hot sandwich. One it's like fire hot, 2 nd the powder is soooo much I choked on it. It overpowers the taste of chicken. Did not enjoy it at all. My son liked it but my husband and I did not. Spent $60 to go to trash. Will not get it again. read more

Fine, I'll finally review my favorite chicken spot aka the one I've been gatekeeping for years. I've been coming here forever, and this specific location is hands-down my favorite. The chicken is always perfectly spiced and deliciously crunchy, the fries come out extra crispy and well-seasoned, and I get to drown everything in their amazing dipping sauce. The customer service is consistently top-tier, whether I order online or in-store. The decor is cool and fun, though I'm usually a to-go kind of person. Lately, they've switched to using packets for their dipping sauces, and I actually love the creative twist. Essentially I highly, highly recommend. read more

First time trying main chick hot chicken, my go to place is usually Dave's, but was feeling bold and ready to switch it up. I had it delivered, and happy to say it was still hot , packaged nicely , good portion of fries. Unfortunately I only got 2 pickles per sandwich, that was the dealbreaker for me and the reason I probably wouldn't order again. I saw that there was an option to pay 2.50for extra pickles, but I did not think that it only came with 2 total and none as garnish on side like most other chicken places give you. read more

It was my first time here and I already need to come back. The spice level was amazing. We have to sign out. We were the highest level. Spicy spicy fries so well sometimes a bit soggy from the coleslaw but is well worth it. They make it fresh to order and there's plenty of parking in the area. Cashier person was so nice and help me with my recommendations. The place is so clean and a lot of seating area. read more

The food was good. I ordered the combo, that included two chicken Sandwiches and fries. The drinks were not included. I ordered a "naked" chicken sandwich (not spicy) and a mild chicken sandwich. The mild chicken sandwich was really spicy. Pros: ll Good service ll The chicken Sandwiches are big and they gave me a lot of fries ll clean location ll it was chill and quiet read more

I'm not sure if MAIN CHICK HOT CHICKEN is a chain or not, but if it is, it's a good chain. Real chicken pieces are used and cooked when we order. That's why there's a little bit of a wait before we get our food. This food establishment is located in a large and super busy shopping center across the street from the Northridge Fashion Center. The parking lot is large and free but you might still have to go up and down an aisle once or twice. Ordered a plate with CHICKEN STRIPS AND FRIES and the fries were seasoned, thank goodness. Though I ordered "mild" it did not taste bland and there is still a small kick. Yes, I admit I am lame when it comes to heat. The staff are friendly. There are a lot of chairs and tables to sit in. Casual dining that is a good alternative to "fast food". read more

didn't give sauce on order, soda was stale, chicken breading fell off too easy. horrible customer service combined with a terrible sewage smell randomly around the resurant. soda station had warm soda with no ice. tasteless soda as well. never coming here again. please dont eat here if you want your stomach to survive. read more

Let me start by saying that I can't handle the truly spicy hot chicken so I ordered mine mild. Loved that they had a dark meat chicken sandwich option. Breading was crunchy without being overly breaded, heat was truly mild so definitely no complaints there. Chicken was juicy and tender. Now let's talk about these fries! Crinkled cut seasoned fries were bomb and they give you a good amount. I also ordered the Mac and cheese which tasty but could have used some more salt but I won't hold that against them. read more

Today I was doing some shopping next door and stopped by for some hot chicken tenders. The girl at the counter looked bored. I said "Hi" with a smile to her and ordered a 3 chicken tender combo. She remained looking bored somehow. That's fine, I just came here to enjoy the food. The background music was a little too loud to me. But it's bearable. However, there's a group of four young adults sitting near the front counter and were talking and laughing so loud totally ignoring other customers. A couple sitting next to them didn't say anything but was obviously annoyed. I wanted to wait outside, but there was no seating outside. So no way to escape. I had to stay inside listening to the loud music and the loud group. When I got my order, the fries were hot and crispy but the chicken tenders were lukewarm. I only finished two tenders because the third one was as tough and cold as rubber. I felt a little sad because the food was mediocre, the staff was uninviting, and some customers were loud/rude. I may not be excited to come back for a while. read more

My friend lives in the SF Valley, so after helping Her cleanup the Garage, and we decided to come here, Her treat. :D She asked what do i want, since it's her treat, i said whatever she craved let's go... ;) So She got Combo #3, $17, 2 nice thick real chicken patty sandwiches, and seasoned fries, She warned me that the Fries are very Salty and "if" i don't like Salt, use a napkin to wipe down the salt. i told her then why not tell 'em to ease up the Seasoning, and she said then it won't be good cuz she like it that way.. Very Good price for the Chicken Sandwich but "if" i had to do it my way, i won't get the Seasoned Fries next time, just the Chicken Sandwiches by itself. it's a really good price considering most hot chicken places nowadays are pricier and smaller thinner chicken patties My Brothers Always buy Chick-Fil-A Chicken Sandwiches and i asked 'em today how much they paid for it and they said $6 each, i told 'em once they try this place they won't go back to Chick-Fil-A. it's $7 each here, thicker chicken patty She's also the one who said once i tried Jersey Mike's, i will never go back to Subways!! i guess i need to trust Women's savvy and wisdom. Either Women travel a lot and date a lot or they just never eat at home and eat out a lot. :D read more

My new favorite place for spicy chicken sandwiches! Very nice, clean restaurant. Great customer service too. The chicken has a few spice levels! If you like spices this is the place for you. I paid for cheese on my sandwiches and did not get it. ie reason for 4 start in lieu of 5 stars. Highly recommended!! read more

There chicken is a definite step up from other chicken in the area. I suggest the leg and thigh to get a true representation of their flavor. read more

What happened to the quality? I've been hitting MC at The Colony and was excited when they opened two shops in the valley. Always the same order, dark meat sandwich + tender combo. I got a dark meat sandwich tonight and it was pathetic. Waste of my time and money picking this thing up. Smallest and thinnest piece of chicken, essentially just fried skin. Sat in between a tiny slider bun with the sorriest amount of slaw inside. The serving of sauce on the side was bigger than the chicken I got. Absolute bummer. read more

I go there about once every two weeks. I really enjoy their food and think that the combination of spicy and sweet is perfect. I would love to eat there, but I always just take out because I feel like there is an ongoing problem with their bathrooms. I'm not sure exactly if it's a building plumbing problem, but WOW. It smells rancid cause the bathrooms are unkept and the smell leaks into the dining area. I also think their soda machines have some problems hence the wet floor sign near the drain. I hope they really sort out the plumbing in this place! read more

I loved their other location in Woodland Hills so I had to try them again when they opened closer to me. It did not disappoint. It is in the same plaza as Super King so it is busy and a lil bit of a challenge to find close parking. They are currently in their soft opening. Their menu on Yelp is incorrect. Check out my photos of their real menu. I tried Combo #1 at their other location so I ordered Combo 2 and 3 this time. In terms of value, I recommend Combo 1 and 2. Quality: The chicken is so juicy here. I have yet to find a place that does it better. Their chicken sandwich is on the smaller side and I didn't get any flavor from their slaw. Those are the only flaws I experienced which I can overlook. Their spicy level has a kick so go with medium or mild if you can't handle spicy food. This is one of the better hot chicken spots. Try them out for yourselves. Definitely recommend. read more

I did not expect to like Main Chick as much as I did. I typically went to Dave's Hot Chicken in Northridge but decided to give Main Chick a try since they are closer to me. Honestly the prices are not bad for how much food you are getting. I personally think that it's worth it. The dust or sauce (whatever you want to call it), is so delicious. And when it's paired with their perfectly cooked chicken, it's perfection. They give one sauce on the side initially but if you wanted more, you would have to pay for it! read more

Main Chick Hot Chicken - Chicken Combo 1. Sandwich, Tender & Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Northridge, California

I enjoy trying new fried chicken joints. So,I ordered the combo #1. What I didn't like is how oily the chicken is. Yes, I know it's fried chicken. But oil should never dripped down through your hands. Let alone a whole napkin absorbing the oil. I lost my appetite. The San Fernando valley is sudden having more and more "hot chicken" trends. But I have to be honest with you on this. You better off going to Dave's hot chicken where at least they give you more pickles, thier chicken is more plump and tender, and even they don't charge you extra on thier signature sauce. This place charges you $1 EACH. Rip off. read more

I have been coming to this place for the last two years ever since I discovered it. I've tried both the tenders by themselves and the sandwiches and they seriously do not disappoint. The fries are well seasoned as well, and I really like their Mac and Cheese. The service is great as well. The employees are very friendly and awesome. This location has tables, inside and outside, and has a good atmosphere. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for something different from KFC or BWW. read more

One of the best hot chicken spots in the valley. I had the combo #2: Mild SO had the combo #1: Spicy Kid had the Mac n cheese. Portions were perfect, chicken was flavorful and JUICY, and the fries perfectly seasoned. The Mac n cheese was really good as well. It was nice creamy cheesiness. Of all the chicken spots we've tried nearby, this is our new favorite. Spicy level note: The mild was pretty spicy, so just be aware if you can't handle heat. Next time I'll try the Naked level. SO said he'd try the medium spice level next time. read more

Main Chick Hot Chicken - My phone camera didn't like their neon sign. Lol 99 problems but this chick ain't one. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Northridge, California

This place took a nosedive in reputation and quality after they changed their ranch packaging. The sandwich, fry and ranch combination used to be godly. Unfortunately they made the terrible decision to switch to pre-packaged ranch packets. It changed the flavor; does not taste the same. And you can no longer dip your fries, you now have to make a stupid sad puddle of ranch or make your fries soggy and drizzle the ranch on top. I'm very disappointed. read more

Halal. They have Halal Tenders (combo options 1-4). The medium is hot. Mouth watering good. Highly recommend!!!
