Max's West Covina

Unique, tasty flavors. Big, juicy pieces of chicken. The spaghetti was good, and intentionally sweet. The gravy is like a mix between Church's and KFC, and the fries were similar to Jack-in-the-Box's back in 2000. The banana-langka and peach-mango pies were great, with the latter being my favorite.

Review is based on delivery, but wanted to share my review because there are some things definitely worth trying. Fried chicken is really pretty great. Even after a 40 min delivery time, chicken was still crispy. Spicy is definitely more flavorful than regular. Got the half/half this time, but will get all spicy from now on. Dipping the chicken in gravy was next level for me. Will have to be my new tradition, regardless of where I get my fried chicken from. The gravy on its own is fire! My favorite fried chicken is Krispy Krunchy, but I put Jollibee a close second with Popeye’s, Churches and Kentucky rounding out my top five, in that order. Chicken strips were also pretty good, but again dipping sauces were what elevated the dish. Creamy sriracha and gravy were great. Pineapple BBQ, not so much. Pro tip - when ordering on line, you can get extra dipping sauces, including the gravy for free so try a few like I did. Peach mango pie was ok. Will pass for $3+. The biggest disappointment were the fries. Soggy and bland. Thank goodness for the air fryer, but even after a few minutes, they were still soggy and bland. I should have gotten the mashed potatoes. At least it would have been an excuse to eat more gravy.
