    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.

    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.

    Really high quality chicken! I'm not a huge fan of chicken with a sweet heat but this had just the right amount of sweetness to heat ratio. The medium really sneaks up on you which made it even better. They also might have the best fries I have ever had, perfect crisp, salt and seasoning on them!

    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!!
