To help ease into the new routine of back-to-school season, The Red Chickz in Carlsbad is offering a little something special for families—including kids under 12 eating free.

The Red Chickz, known for its signature Nashville hot chicken, has quickly become a favorite in Carlsbad since opening in December 2023. The restaurant combines bold flavors with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere—making it an ideal spot for a casual family dinner. With their back-to-school offer, parents can enjoy a stress-free meal while the kids dig into something delicious.
