“Chicken Plus will always have a special place in my heart. I still remember when my dad used to take me here back in elementary school — it was our go-to spot for a delicious meal and some quality time together. Every visit was a treat, and even now, all these years later, I keep coming back.

The food is just as incredible as I remember — always fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. But what really sets Chicken Plus apart is the heart behind it. Syd, the owner, is truly one of a kind. Every time I walk through the doors, I look forward to seeing him. He greets everyone like family and makes you feel genuinely welcome. It’s rare to find a place where the food and the people are equally amazing, but Chicken Plus nails it every time.

If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out. Thank you, Syd, for all the memories and for continuing to make Chicken Plus the special place it is!“

“Swami's atmosphere was relaxed, casual, and inviting. Their menu options were so plentiful with a great variety, and all of their portion sizes were more than generous for all eight of our dishes, from the waffles to the burgers. Their space was large and spacious and good for small and large group sizes.“

“Just try it! You won't be disappointed...“

We had riesling, beer, spicy chicken wings, garlic noodles, and the yummiest over baked and glazed brussels sprouts. To top it off, we ordered the bread pudding cream brulee and I must say the flavors of the vanilla ice cream, bread pudding, chocolate, and creme brulee all melts in your mouth. get ready for a party 🥳 in your mouth. Highly recommended.“

“Our anniversary dinner was amazing! From arrival to departure you are treated as royalty. The focaccia is a must, as are the coconut margaritas. The sea bass was light, flaky and served to perfection. The ambience, architecture and chill vibe make for a truly memorable experience, one that we are eager to repeat.“

“First time there. Sunday night, 7.30pm
They gave us a booth and service was prompt, full of smiles and good will. We ordered the some Calamari for apetizer, Angus Rib eye, the Korean bowl, Carne Asada Tacos, and some The Norm Mac and cheese.
I'm from Argentina, and very picky and critical when it comes to steak. The only time a piece of beef blew my mind in my 16 years living here was in Amarillo Texas. This time was a VERY close contender for that spot. Perfect doneness, tenderness and juicyness (...), just needed a bit more salt!
My wife devour half of her Korean bowl before I was done with the third bite of my stake. She really liked it!
My daughter was affected by the heat level of the carne asada tacos, but our waitress was kind enough to take it off the check and we got her a Pub Burger instead, which she really enjoyed. Both regular and truffle fries were great. My zucchini needed another minute or two on the grill, a bit more salt, and im not sure balsamic was the best pairing for it.
We all loved the calamari and the Mac and cheese (again, bit more salt needed). And although we got there almost at closing time, the quality of food, portion size (we all took leftovers home, enough for a second serving), cost, and how well trained and kind the staff where, made the late dinner, on a Sunday, well worth the money. $138 before tip, and we got 20 off since we had a free appetizer for signing up for the Karl's club (or whatever their free membership is called, sorry!).
So $118 total, I'd say is a winner.“

“One of our special date night places when in the San Diego area. Outdoor seating is great and food is wonderful. Rancho Santa Fe in the evening is quiet and you can just have a nice conversation over dinner.“

“What a great restaurant at the Bernardo Winery. It's the perfect place to meet up with friends for lunch before walking around the cute winery and do some shopping in the boutiques on site.

There are lots of outdoor tables to choose from and most are shaded. It opens at 11am and it was busy soon after. We went on a weekday too.
You can get wines from the tasting room or delicious coffee from Manzanita next door.

You order from the counter and your food will be delivered to your table. Everything we had was delicious though the pizza was a little on the burnt side from the wood fired oven.

Parking: There are two small parking lots and plenty of street parking.“

“Good food excelente service nice looking restaurant“

“The best grilled chicken I've ever had! The seasoning is spectacular super juicy on the inside with that perfect golden crisp on the outside. Plus the grilled onions and roasted jalapeños give it the ideal touch. The place has a super cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. 💯% recommended!“

“Enjoyed the grand opening. Food and service was great. Always been a fan of crinkle french fries. Chicken was the best. Welcome to San Marcos.“
