“I love their chicken wrap“

“Gas station Chicken. WTH? Unless you are an OTR driver or a teenager this is not the choice to make.
Hold up, pause.
Let's regroup. THIS is Amazing Chicken. OMFG this is the best tasting bird in San Diego. Why did you put it in a gas station?
Holy hell. I'm gonna be a regular.“

“Delicious food for a great price! Very clean, friendly, professional service.“

“Drive thru for the famous chicken sandwich. Long wait, excellent sandwich. Lots of crunch and good flavors, but not salty. And the pickles, whoa. Finally got my chicken sandwich after 2 weeks of trying. Long lines that backed up into streets, even freeways, getting there hours too early. That’s a great sandwich.“

“Muy sabroso y muy amables“

“I like to go shopping at this place, the chicken and biscuits are very delicious, but the cabbage salad is terrible, and also before they gave you the biscuits in a box and now they give them to you in a bag and if they are hot they arrive in disarray.
But something I didn't like was a man who was getting paid with long, very ugly nails, it made me sick, they should demand that those who work with food not have such long false nails.“

“great food , friendly customer service..“

“Maria was our cashier tonight and she was EXCEPTIONAL to say the least. From the moment we walked in she had such high energy. We were laughing and having a smile on our face for the whole ordering process. She came to check on us while we were at our table. We come from the food industry and I can wholeheartedly say she brought the best service we’ve ever recieved. Thank you Maria for the most memorable experience and for truly caring about your customers experience ❤️“

“I love crack shack. I was born n raised in San Diego but moved to Memphis where I learned what good fried chicken is. This is the fried chicken spot in Southern California. Fire nugs+fries+pickles you can not go wrong. The bar tender is really awesome and the food is seasoned perfectly. Really good desserts as well.“

“This place serves 85 years of proven deliciousness. It is simple. It is hearty. These days, it is even out of the ordinary. Just go. You will be glad that you did. If you are like me, you’ll remember how Mom would heat the oven to 450 degrees and place the block of ice Hungry Man pot pie in the oven for one hour till it transformed into a cauldron of molten lava. My mother would even crack open the hood of the pie and load it with an extra cup of frozen peas and carrots that would cook to perfection in the heavenly inferno of scrumptious delight, which made me the muscular hunk of love that I am today. The San Diego Chicken Pie Shop serves up a pie that is an even better recipe than the one in my memories of my dear Mom. If your are nearby, give it a try.“

“My favorite Nashville hot chicken sandwich and tenders!!!!!!“

“I love that food taste good fresh“

“Excellent service, amazing and delicious food. Highly recommended!“

“The clerk was a nice guy but not keen on the obvious. I ordered a 15 piece wing combo and he asked if that was for here or to go. Who would dine in and eat 15 wings by himself? Chuckled all the way home. Poor guy.“

“Bombtastic as usual! Been going for ever! Total San Diego staple!“

“Excelente !!!! Rápido y muy“

“very good food...service 👍“

“the grilled breakfast sandwich & Cobb salad wit & Arnold Palmer is delicious 😋“

“Super good always,Chicken Joy with palabok and pineapple juice👍🍗“

“Ive honestly never gone to a chicken restaurant where ive truly liked the chicken but here the chicken sandwich was so good. the chicken was juicy, the spiciness was just right. I usually have to ask if the most spicy chicken sandwich is actually spicy because I always get disappointed but not here, their supreme level was the perfect spice level I honestly loved it! But warning it is spicy so if you don’t like spicy food I don’t recommend getting it lol.“

“Fast friendly service. Clean restrooms“

“Muy buenos pollo y puré..“

“Nestled in the bustling northeast corner of the Balboa Mesa Shopping Center, this Chick-fil-A is a popular hub for diners in the area. With its reputation for friendly service and efficient operations, it attracts a constant stream of customers. Despite the high demand, the drive-thru experience remains impressively smooth, thanks to the diligent staff who excel in managing orders with speed and accuracy. The dual-lane drive-thru system, merging into one, is particularly effective in keeping the line moving swiftly, ensuring that customers are served promptly without long waits.

However, the popularity of this location does come with its challenges, especially during peak hours. The parking lot and access to the drive-thru can become quite congested, testing the patience of even the most seasoned fast-food enthusiasts. Navigating the busy environment requires a bit of strategizing, particularly during lunch and dinner rushes.

For those willing to brave the hustle and bustle, the reward is well worth it. The consistently delicious food, coupled with the warm and welcoming atmosphere, makes this Chick-fil-A a standout choice. Whether you’re grabbing a quick meal on the go or indulging in a comfort food fix, the experience here is both satisfying and efficient, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.“

“We went here recently and I want to just talk about the service of Jessica. We normally go to the one up the hill in Ramona, and while the food is great there, the service is not always the best.

This one had both service and quality. Thanks a lot, Jessica“

“For what I wanted it was good. Thank you very much.“

“Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen located at the following address 2810 El Cajon Bloulevard, San Diego, California 92104, United States of America in an excellent place to taste original crispy chicken or spasy (spicy) house specialty and its delicious fries in addition to its burgers highly recommended chicken and its affordable costs and employees with the greatest willingness to give you excellent service“

“Great tasting chicken, mashed potatoes are delicious and you gotta love the biscuits. The service was very helpful and friendly all the employees were great. The prices are also very nice compared to other chicken places. You also have to try the sweet tea it's delicious.“

“Exceptional service and great food! The price was a bit higher (+20%) than I'd have liked, but this is CA so it makes sense. With the extra cost I am thrilled that 10/10 service was included. Will be back- my son loved the nuggets and fries.“

“Excelente servicio y la comida maravillosa“

“Best pollo asado in SD!!!!!!!“

“lately always been getting the 12 Piece Original Recipe with sides. order via KFC app and pickup via drive-thru. about $36 but really like $40 with tax. would otherwise get $20 eight-piece bucket refill but always need more chicken because more people come to the house! Yum!“

“Good food. KFC & Taco Bell. Chicken strips are delicious.“

“For some reason or another, the last three times I was there they have yet to put any of the sauces that I paid for in the bag.
Super frustrating!
Next time I go back, I will hold up the entire line just to make sure they put what I ordered in the bag.
Absolutely ridiculous!

Parking: The location is great. I just wish they could fill a simple order without screwing it up!“

“Nice quiet kfc fastfood in Bonita. The service is fast, place is clean, and staffs are somewhat friendly. I ordered what used to be a $5 fillup is now almost $6, still reasonable for two pieces of chicken, side, biscuit, chocolate chip cookie, and a regular drink. Some of the benches need to be replaced, but overall, very comfortable with the dining environment. Hidden away in a non busy area of bonita.“

“Nice meal , I enjoyed it .“

“Thank you for catering our Christmas lunch, everyone loved the food 🔥“
