While the majority praise the large portion sizes, there are a few who feel that the menu could benefit from more variety in terms of healthy options. A few patrons have encountered slight confusion regarding the menu layout, particularly when it comes to differentiating between similar-sounding dishes.

I heard about Side Chick as I scrolling through YouTube one day and I said to myself I’m going to hit this spot up when I go to Miami. I visited Side Chick on 5/29/25 and 5/30/25 and both nights did not fail me. First night I got the Cheesy Chick and night two I got the Thick Chick as it was recommended by someone who eating outside the food cart. Both meals were delicious and something to die for. It had the right amount of kick. Chicken was cooked well. Fries and Mac And Cheese were great. I even took one of my friend’s PB&J Bacon sliders which was great as well. I can’t complain about this place. It’s a good spot for the late night munchies. And they close at 1a Friday and Saturdays. Do check this place if you’re in the Miami area. Keep it up guys. Grade A.

Drove out our way just to try! This place did not disappoint. Lovely staff quick service. Fully Halal and well signposted! The Mac and cheese chicken was amazing! Very large portions so do not over order like we did!

I recently visited a spot called The Side Chick, and let me tell you, it was an absolute delight! Being from Cutler Bay, I’ve been there about three times now, and every single visit has been fantastic. This time, I tried the Mac Slider, the Dirty Chick, and the Tender Box, and everything was served hot, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. The owner really went above and beyond to make the experience special, and the food always hits the spot. I can’t recommend The Side Chick enough—if you’re in the area, you’ve got to check it out!!

Food was SO delicious!! We went tonight and got the fry lovers cheezy chick and it was hot and yummy! The workers were also super nice to us and kept apologizing for the wait because they were a cook short but we really didn’t even wait that long. Definitely saving this spot as one of our new faves!

Shoutout to the owner for switching to fully halal meat. You can tell all of the foods/meats are fresh and made to perfection. This is your traditional styrofoam to go container and it’s clearly PACKED. 10/10. Will be back.

This spot is a MUST GO! They serve the BEST chicken sandwich with a unique twist that includes mac and cheese, bacon, fries, and wifey sauce! The owner/head chef brings flavors and ingredient combinations that you never thought could go together in dishes that are really delicious! The food is halal/kosher certified as well. Great hospitality, quick service, and amazing food! 10/10 recommend and definitely will return for more!
