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.
This isn’t just about saving money; it’s about creating an opportunity to spend quality time together during what can be a busy period. Plus, with their buy-one-get-one-free deal on chicken tenders, it’s easy to treat the entire family to something everyone will love.
Mark Shlemon, owner of The Red Chickz Carlsbad, shares, “We know the start of the school year can be a hectic time, and we’re happy to offer something that makes life just a bit easier for parents while giving kids something to look forward to.”
