“About two weeks ago, I went to some Hawaiian barbecue for the first time and I didn’t even know who Hawaii barbecue was a thing and they gave me mac & cheese and the thin steak thing and it was so good. It was amazing that on the car ride home I even ate my leftovers and they had five stars. I don’t know the name now this place I was trying to relive that experience and they had 4.7 stars so I was thinking Man they’d be really good but their menu was very bland and they didn’t even have mac & cheese or the thin steak thing. They just had rice and very basic chicken and steak and I mean it wasn’t bad and they were friendly, but in no way wasn’t special.“

We had the chik’n and waffle sandwich (delicious but definitely sweet), the western burger with beefy patty (very very tasty), the chk’n tenders (excellent, I liked with honey mustard) and the horchata shake which was truly amazing, refreshing will get again. Staff was super friendly and helpful, even making my iced coffee to order.“

“My experience was good, June 2025. I ordered on the app, about 7 minutes after I ordered the food was already ready. The dinning area was immaculate and an employee was wiping down tables at the time I was there. The food was great compared to other locations. I normally get 3 pieces of diced tomato on my Supreme items, but they had plenty on my items.“

Cause they will have to correct your order anyway haha)“

“We arrived about 45 minutes before closing and the employee, Jocelyn greeted us with the warmest smile. Although the restaurant was sold out of teriyaki chicken, the item we were wanting, she managed to make our experience quite pleasant. We ended up ordering a small portion of the orange chicken and she gave us a complimentary drink for not having the teriyaki chicken. She also gave us an extra fortune cookies “for the road!” Apparently it was a really busy night and we had just missed the rush. But she still had the biggest grin and best attitude. I’ve worked in customer service for many years and her service was the epitome of going above and beyond. This woman deserves some recognition and a raise. Simply amazing.“

“The Subway in Encinitas on Santa Fe is great. They accepted our BOGO coupon and were friendly and very helpful. I'm on Social Security and use coupons regularly to save money.(The Subway on Mission in Oceanside was completely different. They refused to accept our BOGO coupon.)

Parking: We got a parking space in front of the restaurant in Encinitas.“
