16 Best Chicken Wings in Costa Mesa

“Great food. Super nice staff. Thank you. When they say it’s spicy believe them. Dare is almost unbearable. I wouldn’t dare try the double dare. Soooo good.“

“I can’t believe what I thought I was eating before was pizza! Such fresh ingredients, I felt I was eating direct from the garden. Even the plentiful cheese tasted super fresh. Make note that this excellent pie takes time to make. You can rush perfection. Be patient and have a beer on tap!“

“The last hidden gem in Costa Mesa. This easily tops waiting for chick fil a down the street. I let the cashier guide my order because I was too tired to come to a decision. He suggested the special which was wise of him because it includes 4 karage (tender fried chicken thigh) a potato croquette, 3 cali roll pieces and a salad with potato salad, excellent for a post 9 hour work day meal. My pregnant wife got the 5 piece karage and said it changed her life for the better. I didn’t take pictures because I was so in awe and in the moment. It was photo ready. The food comes out RIPPING hot. Which made us so comfortable eating there, especially pregnant knowing they make everything actually fresh to order, cooked to appropriate temperature to ensure food safety. Not just marketing fresh, there is nothing siting here waiting for you to order, this is not fast food. They tell you it’s going to take a few minutes and it’s worth the wait because they do not compromise on quality here. With that being said it’s not even that long and I will no longer be visiting chick fil a when this place is open and it’s much healthier.
Props to the owners/ cooks/ and cashier for getting us right.“

“First memorable bbq chicken experience in the states ever ! Especially compared to the one in Jamboree I usually go to. The guy working morning on September 29th deserves a raise or something. He was in there all by himself, was very kind to us, and our chicken tasted amazing !! This will be my go to bbq from now on highly recommend.“

“Great management! Thanks for serving the Costa Mesa community.“

“Mountain Mike’s Pizza is the spot. Their pizza is very delicious and they really hook it up with the toppings. The crust is not too thick or fluffy, it’s the perfect amount of dough.

Their pazookis are delicious too. My son is six years old and he’s super picky with food, but he loved it here and definitely wants to come back every time, especially for the pazookis.“

“I was ordering a pepperoni personal pizza, when all of the sudden the lights started flickering a deep red, and everything went black. When the lights came back on, it was cold, and no one was in the store but me and the young lady taking my order. She was maliciously grinning and staring me down through her brows. She lunged, and before I could react, her teeth were sinking in my neck as the warm red water spurted out. I lost consciousness. When I awoke, it would appear that she burried me alive mistaking me for dead. Fortunately. She left my personal pizza hut pepperoni pizza with a side of chili flake and peccarino for $5.79 next to my torso. I'm not happy about my current situation. But perhaps this pizza will fuel me in my efforts to escape. Very pleasant taste. If I get out of here alive, I will have another. Also I just pooped myself. Smells bad.“

“The best chiken wings !!!! mi kids love to come here!!! Its a litter small place but we love to came here!!!“

“The younger Hispanic girl is really on her stuff. I think she might be the manager if not she should be. I’m 37 I retired in 2025 and sometimes I worry about the younger generation but her work ethic gives me hope for the future generation.“

“Hands down, one of the best fast food experiences I've had! 😃 The staff at Little Caesars were super friendly and got my order well done! I went for the Detroit-style slices and stix pizza 🍕 , and OH. MY. GOSH. The crust was crispy on the outside, well seasoned, and the cheese was perfectly melted. The stix were the perfect combo of crunchy and cheesy. Solid 10/10 would recommend! 😊“

“I pick up pizza 2 times a week from this location and am addicted. I’ve been doing this for over a year and the employees always say “nice to see you!” They have never messed up my order and it’s always on time. It’s my favorite Pizza Hut. The one on Harbor was a little unfriendly. So I stick to this location.

Parking: Always find the same open spot right up front.“

“Don't know what it is about this particular. Papa John's, but their pizzas and food seems to be prepared and cooked above average compared to other Papa John's. The service is good, and the interactions I have with the employees are always appreciated. Usually come here a couple times a month because of that.“

“Very clean environment. I walked into the store and immediately an employee by the name of George helped me. In a very professional manner he asked how I can be helped. Most Dominos won't let you order the mix and match deal in person. I asked George if this was possible, without pushing. He politely said he would check and was able to offer me the mix and match deal. I ordered 3 items and tipped 20%. George is an example of an exceptional employee that cares about customers. He's not the manager, just a regular employee with a lot of potential. People like him can run a successful Dominos store. Thank you for the great service George. Lately I had a very bad experience with Dominos but this purchase changed everything.“

“People are sleeping on this spot. Went there on a Wednesday for lunch and were the only ones there. The food was delicious and the person I took to try KFC for the first time was blown away. I got the strips with the sweet and spicy yungnyeom sauce and my buddy got the legs, which were giant, with the soy garlic. Both of us agreed to come back regularly.“

“This KFC on E 17th St in Costa Mesa is a decent spot for a quick meal. I came during a busy time, so the wait was a little longer than expected, but the food was good overall. The chicken and sides had that classic KFC taste, and there was plenty of parking. Service could be a little more organized, but overall it was an okay experience.“
