I can only review the food, because it was delivery so here we go. I'm sorry, but I can't get behind the hype of this place that I'm seeing in the reviews. I got three medium spiced chicken strips, a waffle and fries. I also got one of the waffle sandwiches. Neither the waffle, nor the chicken had any flavor. Just Bland. The chicken strips were cooked very nice, they were moist and tender. Just no flavor. I was looking forward to this punch of flavor on my tongue...

A hidden gem, best to order on the go.. parking here is a bit hard as it is located in a busy part of the city. The location shares its doors with a donut shop so don’t feel misguided. Overall the food here is good! I had a Thai tea and spicy chicken sandwich combo. Cooked to order so if you are in a rush I suggest you place your order over the phone. 7/10 I would recommend to friends.

THE BEST chicken and waffles I’ve ever had, tender, seasoned chicken, soft waffles, and amazing sauces to top it off. You NEED to get extra coconut syrup, it takes it to a whole other level. Don’t forget about the fries, they are also seasoned perfectly and top any fast food restaurant. If you haven’t been here, I’m so sorry, you have not experienced life yet. I only come down to San Diego once a year, and this is a must stop. Plus this location is joined with a donut...
