Unfortunately it looks like shrinkflation has hit Main Chick. They recently changed the portion size on their fries, serving about 1/3-1/2 the amount. It was also unfortunate when they transitioned to serving pre-batched dipping sauces. The flavor of the Mc sauce and ranch has diminished, not nearly as fresh and tastes a little of preservatives. Still a great chicken sandwich but the quality has definitely dropped recently.

My friend told me this is very popular fried chicken place. Only two locations in LA. So we went to try it last night.
We ordered spicy and non-spicy chicken. It’s very juicy and crispy which everyone loves. But you can tell the oil has been fried for long time already. The chicken skin tastes very oily and even a little bit bitter, I have to take off all the skin for kids.
Hope the owner can change the oil, then definitely makes the fried chicken taste better.

Was able to try the Supreme level spicy chicken sandwich here and oh boyyy. It was definitely not to be taken lightly.
The last time I came here they told me that if I ate one of those, they would take a photo of me and put it on the wall so I knew one day I would return to do this and I have done it.
Aside from it being brutally spicy, I still very much enjoyed the sandwich. I think these are perhaps some of the best Nashville hot chicken sandwiches you can get in the area, at least when compared to the many chains that have emerged in the past couple of years.
What I like about Main Chick is that it’s located not far from where I live and additionally, it has some really fast service. Every experience I’ve had coming here has been good and the workers have never been rude or disrespectful.
To be honest, whenever I want Nashville hot chicken, I just come here and I don’t really bother going anywhere else because this is a safe place to go and I know that whatever I pay for the food is worth it because the quality has never dwindled. I can’t say the same for other hot chicken joints…
I always look forward to coming back and eating here and if you haven’t tried it, then I suggest you do!

Main chick is probably the best hot fried chicken restaurants I’ve been to & this spot does it right.
I just ordered a tender and leg quarter both at medium spice with lots of mc sauce. They were both cooked perfectly, tender juicy and full of flavor. The mc sauce really adds that balance and it was an amazing lunch.
I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items. Parking is plentiful but don’t know what it’s like during peak times.

I have been here a few times, and my advice is to order online. Service is always great, food is always delicious, sauce is by far the best I have tasted from any other hot chicken restaurant.... Fries are well seasoned for my taste and are plentiful, so I never finish them... I get the 2 sliders combo, which is great for sharing the meal. Chicken is crunchy outside juicy on the inside. Breading is just right and not exaggerated. Creamy slaw is great, sweet, and at the same time that vinegary pepper tastes. In my opinion, it needs a bit more on the sandwiches, tho. Also tried the Mac and cheese, which is super good if you add on any of your meals...definitely recommend.
Update 1.25.23: Tried the dark meat sandwiches. Never again, and don't recommend them, they were nothing compared to white meat, I got chicken rinds... breaded chicken skin was not good at all
